Fodor's Expert Review Paradise Village Beach Resort & Spa

This Nuevo Vallarta hotel and time-share property is perfect for families, with lots of activities geared to children. Many people love it, although the property's dedication to time-share guests makes some hotel guests feel short-shrifted. Most suites have balconies with either marina or ocean views. Furnishings are attractive as well as functional, with pretty cane sofa beds in a soothing palette and well-equipped kitchens. Locals like to visit the clean, well-organized spa, which smells divine and is noted for its massages and facials. The beach here is tranquil enough for swimming, although some small waves are suitable for bodysurfing.
