The Palladium Vallarta Resort and Spa Location
The Palladium Va
llarta Resort is situated off Highway 200, which is taken as you exit the airport. The hotel is located within the tourist complex of Banderas Bay, 35 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta.
The Palladium Vallarta Resort is located in Costa Banderas on Banderas Bay and is in close proximity of 2Punta de Mita -- the State of Ayarit at the northernmost point of Banderas Bay where the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez meet. The Banderas Bay is internationally recognized as one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Flowing into this bay are seven rivers whose flora and fauna is extremely rich with variety. In 1851 the first population was founded at the mouth of the river which was given the name of Las Penas from the Senora from Guadalupe. Today this area is known as Puerto Vallarta.
The beaches are of fine, white sand with nearby coral reefs for some excellent snorkeling and diving. Deep sea fishing, whale watching and surfing are also favorite pastimes on this beautiful area of the coast. The beachside restaurants at Punta de Mita offer fresh seafood and refreshing drinks; there are surf shops, rental of snorkeling and diving equipment, tours by boat and horseback riding.
The Palladium Vallarta Resortis approximately 12 miles from the Puerto Vallarta Airport. Our transfer was roughly 40 minutes in duration. The Palladium Resort is approximately 20 miles from the city of Puerto Vallarta.
The Palladium Vallarta Resort and Spa History
Formerly the Viva Vallarta Resort, the Palladium Vallarta Resort was purchased by the Fiesta Hotel Corporation several years ago. The Fiesta Hotel Group has invested a large sum of money to enhance and upgrade the entire resort complex. The Royal Suites (new build) is complete and open for reservations. Plans are in development to completely update the guestrooms in the main section of the hotel. After the rennovation (Late Summer / Fall 08) the hotel will be branded "Grand Palladium."
