Beach
MixedThere is no beach on-site; a free shuttle runs to an included beach club on the ocean. Several guests skip it entirely and stay at the pools, and the beach club's lounger area has drawn complaints about upkeep and stray dogs.
medium confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Free shuttle to included beach club
- Ocean access without leaving the all-inclusive
Heads up
- Beach club lounger area described as neglected
- Stray dogs reported hanging around loungers
- Many guests skip the beach for the pools
Resort is set in the jungle—not beachfront—but offers a complimentary shuttle service to its private Tonati Beach Club. The beach club provides seating, food service, and towels. The beach itself has sandy areas but is also described as being a bit rocky and unraked.
Pools
StandoutPools are the true centerpiece: multiple options, warm water, jacuzzis, and a lazy river winding through jungle-like grounds. Pool service from names like Emilio is a repeated highlight.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Multiple pools including adults-only area
- Warm water temperatures year-round
- Lazy river and jungle setting
- Standout pool-bar service
Heads up
- No swim-up bar
- Cleanliness slipped slightly per one returning guest

high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Service warmth compared to ultra-luxury properties
- Free beach-club shuttle included
- Room-issue guests received upgrades and late checkout
Heads up
- Staffing shortages slow buffets, bars, and carts
- One two-star review flat-out said not worth the price

Amenities & activities
Couples
Good fitQuiet, nature-forward setting works nicely for anniversaries and quick romantic escapes, with attentive service that feels personal. It is not a dedicated adults resort, so expect kids and family energy alongside your downtime.
medium confidence
What you'll enjoy
- 33rd-anniversary stay called unforgettable
- Relaxing mountain-and-beach combo setting
- Attentive personalized service
- Adults-only pool available on property
Heads up
- Family-focused atmosphere throughout
- Not marketed or set up for weddings
Families
IdealA genuine family win, built around a kids' water park with slides, warm pools, and a lazy river that keep children busy all day. Golf-cart transport around the sprawling grounds is part of the experience.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Water park with slides thrills kids
- Attentive lifeguards (Carmen gets repeated shoutouts)
- Warm pool temperatures, jungle-like setting
- Golf carts shuttle families across the property
Heads up
- One bellman incident with grandkids waiting for a cart
- Pools and lazy river not as clean as prior year per one repeat guest
Peace & Quiet
StandoutThe vibe is calm, green, and restorative, with wild birds, gardens, and a nature-immersed layout rather than a party scene. Entertainment exists (karaoke, animation) but never dominates the mood.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Relaxing, nature-forward atmosphere
- Lush gardens and wildlife
- Low-key entertainment led by Karen and Benjamin
- Spread-out property keeps noise dispersed
The resort features multiple outdoor pools including a natural jungle‑style pool, a fully equipped fitness center, a spa with 10 treatment cabins, and a complimentary shuttle to a nearby beach club.

“An amazing place, excellent service and treatment from all the staff. There was a minor issue with the food, but they resolved it. Other than that, everything is delicious.”

“Jessi from the finance department, I appreciate the thoughtful gesture for the children and the excellent service and attention from Carmen Martinez at the water park.”

“Our trip was amazing. All of the employees were great but there were 2 employees who really stood out. Sebastian who was bartending in the lobby bar was so awesome. Everytime he was working he had all of the customers having a good time. His drinks are also the best! He is so kind and helpful and goes the extra mile to make sure you are taken care of! At the karaoke, the other employee was Lourdes. She really got the crowed going and made karaoke so much fun. We went on dj nights and it was...”

View on Google Maps →What you should know
What to Know
The property is large enough that golf carts shuttle you between areas, and there is no on-site beach, only a shuttle to an included beach club. Staffing can be thin, so patience at buffets and bars pays off.
medium confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Golf-cart transport around the resort
- Included shuttle to off-site beach club
- Komorebi teppanyaki worth prioritizing
- Ask for Chef Luis at Huichol
Heads up
- Understaffing causes slow service at peak times
- Beach club is off-property, not steps from your room
- One isolated staff-attitude complaint on cart pickup
WATCH OUT: Seasonal heads-up
- June–November is Pacific hurricane and rainy season, with heavier afternoon storms
Plan on roughly a 30–40 minute transfer from Puerto Vallarta International (PVR), and remember the beach requires the shuttle — check schedules at check-in if a beach day is your priority. Tipping in USD or pesos is appreciated even on an all-inclusive plan, and most front-line staff speak English. La Cruz de Huanacaxtle's marina and fishing-village restaurants are an easy outing if you want a night off-resort.
Good to know
- The resort is not beachfront — beach access is via a free shuttle to an affiliated beach club
- Setting is jungle and mountain views rather than ocean views
- Part of Marriott Bonvoy, so points and elite benefits apply
- About 15 miles / 30–40 minutes from Puerto Vallarta airport (PVR)
- La Cruz de Huanacaxtle village and marina are a short drive away
