SET ON PLAYA Las Glorias, facing impressive Bahía de Banderas, Sheraton Buganvilias Resort in Puerto Vallarta promises couples a taste of Mexico. In the 500 guestrooms and all public areas, modern interiors come to life with colorful fabrics and vibrant artwork. The unique decor is enhanced by spectacular ocean and mountain views—not to mention famous Vallarta sunsets—from terraces and through floor-to-ceiling windows. What’s more, the resort’s green-minded practices have earned it a Certificado de Calidad Ambiental Turistica (certificate for environmental quality in tourism).

Couples seeking the utmost in privacy and personalized service will want to book a Club Level room. Located on the top floors of the main building, and designed with comfort in mind, these exclusive rooms provide gorgeous views of the bay along with such special amenities as butler service, daily continental breakfast and afternoon wine and hors d’oeuvres served in the VIP lounge.

Golf, tennis, beachfront activities and poolside relaxation keep couples as busy as they want to be in the daytime. The resort also hosts a variety of weekly events, like a Champagne Sunday Brunch accompanied by the lively sounds of mariachi and a Thursday evening Mexican Fiesta. What’s more, downtown Puerto Vallarta is within walking distance and offers a perfect mix of old and new. Here, visitors find everything from indigenous crafts and traditional music and dance to international boutiques, watersports and chic nightclubs.

Brides and grooms tying the knot at Sheraton Buganvilias can count on the assistance of an attentive and experienced staff that helps custom design the decor, floral arrangements, reception menu and wedding cake. Several ceremony venues can host intimate groups as well as cocktail receptions and include the resort’s heart-shaped garden, a large seaside terrace, the beach, a charming gazebo located on the property’s pier and the indoor Buganvilias Salon.

Anytime during their “weddingmoon,” couples may take advantage of various Bridal Specials offered at Spa Sheraton, such as facials, stress-relieving body treatments, reflexology and massages for two. On the big day, a hairstylist, makeup artist and manicurists are at hand to ensure brides—and grooms—look their best.
