Thanks to my friend Sandra Guerrero Moreno from GM Travel, we had the incredible opportunity to visit the Wyndham Alltra Vallarta all inclusive resort. If you’re looking for family vacations or a girls’ trip in Riviera Nayarit, keep reading my review and visit Mexico!

Location
This resort is strategically located in Riviera Nayarit, right between Nuevo Vallarta and Punta Mita. Although officially listed in Nuevo Vallarta, its location is perfect for exploring the best of the Nayarit coast.
Our Girls’ Trip to Wyndham Alltra Vallarta
GM Travel found a May 10th promotion that made us super happy. We took the opportunity for a genuine “girls’ trip”! My daughter and I celebrated Mother’s Day, and my mother celebrated it twice with us.
What We Loved About Wyndham Alltra Vallarta
Through GM Travel, we had previously experienced the Krystal chain and their all-inclusive concept (buffet, open bar, and specialty restaurants). Although I miss my low-calorie pancakes, the breakfasts at Wyndham, with hot cakes, waffles, and handmade cinnamon rolls, were the best I’ve tasted in years.
I definitely preferred the Wyndham Alltra Vallarta. Maybe I’m easily impressed since I rarely go on vacation (I’m the type who’d only travel if I could teleport directly to my destination, haha, I’m a Taurus and perfectly happy just lounging at home all day, every day). But this all-inclusive hotel in Riviera Nayarit truly surprised me.
Features of Wyndham Alltra Vallarta
- The open bar wasn’t limited to just a few cocktails, unlike what happened at Krystal Los Cabos; here, the variety was excellent! My favorites are “ojo rojo / cielo rojo” (Cuban micheladas with and without Clamato) and “chango sucio” (I don’t know what’s in it, but it tastes like chocolate ice cream).
- The atmosphere was much calmer; there wasn’t the constant noise from activities, which allowed for genuine relaxation.
- My room, without being upgraded to VIP, had a shower, a hydromassage tub, and a bathtub. Of course, I didn’t have time to use anything but the shower, but the detail is appreciated!
We had a wonderful time, strengthening our friendship with Sandra and Carlos, and enjoying my first beach vacation with my mom in 9 years, even without my grandma.
My Restaurant Dress Code Anecdote
My only “complaint” (and it’s more of a funny anecdote) was that I didn’t bring shoes, just my Crocs (not the yellow submarine ones). When we arrived at the Mediterranean specialty restaurant (Taverna Mezze), the hostess gave me a 10-minute grace period, which one understands as being able to enter until 8:10 if your reservation is at 8. But no! You had to be there at 7:50. Okay, and that beach sandals weren’t allowed in a beach restaurant…
I went to Sandra’s room to borrow her shoes, and when I returned, the same employee gave me a sour face because she had already seated everyone at a five-person table (according to her, I told her I wasn’t coming back). And that she couldn’t do ANYTHING about it because, oh, her restaurant was more empty than full! And it was impossible to add a chair to the table.
I wasn’t going to eat anyway because I was super full, but I found it ridiculous to have such a strict dress code (I’m omitting the expletives) at beach hotels. It’s not like going to Califa de León, where I’m sure they’d let me in with my Crocs despite their Michelin stars.
So, my mom and daughter went down to the buffet with me. Afterwards, our friends showed up because they hadn’t filled up 🤣 and their son hadn’t eaten anything at all. And it seems all the people who were in the half-empty specialty restaurant ended up at the buffet to fill their bellies 🤣🤣🤣. A funny anecdote from our trip to Wyndham Alltra Vallarta!
