5-star luxury, Grand Luxxe Spa Tower 3 BR, 3BA

Truly the ultimate in luxury, the 3 bedroom 3 bath spa unit in the Grand Luxxe Spa Tower. The nearly 3200 square foot villa is beautifully appointed and includes both formal and informal dining areas. There is a fully equipped gourmet kitchen with granite and stainless steel. If you choose not to cook there is always room service. The spacious living room has a comfortable sofa, sleeper, chairs, and LCD TV. Two bedrooms have king size beds and one has two queen size beds. All have LCD TVs, spacious closets, and sitting areas. A massage room is in your villa, and you can schedule a massage with a masseuse from the Spatium. There are 3 bathrooms, walk in showers, jacuzzi tubs, and double sinks. The wrap around terrace has a splash pool, several lounges including king size and a table and chairs. Housekeeping included.

Other amenities include free access to acres of pools (with lazy river), beach, Kids Club, Spatium spa (at reduced rates) and fitness center, tennis. Golf at reduced rates at either a Nicklaus or Norman designed 18 hole golf course. There is also a new Executive 9 hole Lakes course with lights for evening fun.

So what to do? We start the morning with coffee from the concierge area. Then we might walk a bit on the raised wooden walkways that go all over the Vidanta property. Of course, golf carts can take you just about anywhere. Spa package available 2 for 1.

Outstanding restaurants abound onsite: our favorites include Tramonto (Italian), El Quinto (steak), Costa Arena (seafood), Gong (Asian), and La Cantina (Mexican), but there are many more. Night time then sends us to the Santuario for an outstanding evening of free entertainment including sand painting, singing, dancing, acrobatics, and more. For a romantic evening offsite in Puerto Vallarta be sure to visit Casa Kimberly - the home of Elizabeth Taylor and Ricard Burton for a delicious meal.
