Secrets Vallarta Bay Puerto Vallarta
Secrets Vallarta Bay Puerto Vallarta is an adults-only, all-inclusive AAA Four Diamond resort situated on Playa Las Glorias along Mexico's Pacific coast, just minutes from the famous El Malecón boardwalk. The resort's Unlimited-Luxury® experience delivers gourmet dining across seven on-site venues spanning French, seafood, Asian fusion, and international buffet cuisine — all with no reservations required. Guests also enjoy full walking access to the adjacent Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort & Spa, significantly expanding the combined dining portfolio.
Secrets Vallarta Bay guests have full, complimentary walking access to all restaurants and bars at the adjacent Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort & Spa. The two resorts share a beachfront property and are connected without requiring a shuttle — guests simply walk between the properties. Dreams Vallarta Bay is a family-friendly sister resort, so Secrets adults-only guests will encounter children at Dreams venues. Certain Dreams restaurants (Castaways and Oceana lunch service) are restricted to Preferred Club and UVC guests only at lunch. Reservations are required for the Hibachi/Teppanyaki table at Himitsu. Additionally, Secrets Vallarta Bay participates in the Sip, Savor & See program, allowing guests to dine for dinner at other participating Hyatt Inclusive Collection resorts in the region (dinner only, 6 PM–1 AM, concierge arrangements required by 3 PM, guests responsible for transportation costs).
