Wyndham Alltra Vallarta: My Mexican Paradise… with a Few Tequila-Fueled Hiccups

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from a week at the Wyndham Alltra Vallarta, and let me tell you, it was a trip. "Your ALL-INCLUSIVE Mexican Paradise Awaits!" the website chirped. And… well, they weren't entirely lying. But paradise, like a good margarita, comes with a few unexpected twists.

First Impression: Paradise Found (and Slightly Messed Up)

Okay, let's be real. Arriving felt like stepping onto a movie set – the Pacific Ocean shimmering, palm trees swaying… chef’s kiss. The hotel itself is stunning, a sprawling complex that actually is wheelchair accessible (we’ll get into that later), with that classic Mexican charm. They've clearly put a lot of effort into looking good. And, yay, Free Wi-Fi in All Rooms! Bless you, Wyndham, for providing that essential lifeline to the outside world!

Accessibility Rant (and a Little Bit of Praise)

Now, I need to get something off my chest. While the website talks a big game about accessibility, it's not perfect. The wheelchair accessible aspect? Mostly true. Ramps and elevators are plentiful, and there's something accessible about the restaurants. But navigating the resort, especially around the pools, felt… challenging. Some areas were definitely easier to traverse than others. It wasn't a deal-breaker, but it's worth knowing if you have mobility issues. My heart really went out to the person who was pushing a wheelchair, because trust me, you earn your lunch. And there was no elevator, and I had to carry my luggage for 4 blocks to the room. Accessibility

• Accessibility: Mostly accessible, but with challenges. Could be better.
• Facilities for disabled guests: Present, but potentially inadequate in some areas.
• Elevator: Present.
• Check-in/out [private]: Not sure, they didn't offer private check-in.

Rooms & Amenities: My Personal Sanctuary (with a Mini-Bar Conspiracy)

My room? Loved it. Seriously. Air conditioning that actually worked (a HUGE win in Vallarta!), a comfy extra long bed, and a private bathroom with a separate shower/bathtub. The blackout curtains were a lifesaver for my sleep schedule, and the in-room safe box was useful. The free bottled water was a bonus, but let's talk about the mini-bar. It's supposed to be included and replenished daily with water, soda, and snacks, right? Well, Day 1? Stocked. Day 2? Sparse. Day 3? Practically barren. I suspected a mini-bar conspiracy. I mean, am I being too dramatic? Maybe. But it bugged me. Available in all rooms:

Dining, Drinking & Snacking: The All-Inclusive Diet (and My Tequila-Induced Decisions)

Oh, the food. The glorious, all-you-can-eat food. Let's start with the positives. There were several restaurants! Restaurants with varied cuisines (International cuisine, Asian cuisine, Western cuisine). The buffet in restaurant was a feast for the eyes (and the stomach!). The coffee shop was a lifesaver in the mornings. The Poolside bar was my happy place, especially during Happy hour, where I may have made some questionable life choices involving tequila. Several restaurants were available.

However, the food quality was inconsistent. Some dishes were incredible, others… not so much. The Asian cuisine in restaurant was a definite winner, the Desserts in restaurant were delectable. But the breakfast [buffet] became a bit repetitive after a few days. Also, the snack bar by the pool? Perfect for those mid-afternoon cravings. Also, can we talk about the 24-hour room service? Brilliant. Especially after a few too many margaritas.

One thing I found was the Breakfast takeaway service. They would provide the breakfast in a box. Brilliant! Dining, drinking, and snacking:

Ways to Relax & Rejuvenate: Spa Day & Fitness Fumbles

The Wyndham Alltra offers a Spa! They have various ways to relax including Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Sauna, Spa/sauna, and Steamroom. Which are all wonderful!

And of course, a Swimming pool as well as a Swimming pool [outdoor].

I was ready to be pampered. The Spa menu offered everything from massages to facials. I opted for a massage. It was… heavenly. Pure bliss.

Now for the not as wonderful side. The Fitness center was… adequate. They had the essentials – treadmills, weights, etc. But the air conditioning felt a bit weak, which made working out a sweaty affair. The Gym/fitness was the main place where the fitness activities happened.

The Pool with view was magnificent. I mean, honestly, even if you don't like swimming, just sitting there and looking at the ocean is pure therapy.

Cleanliness & Safety: Sanitization Station

I felt safe and secure at the Wyndham Alltra. They went all out to offer Cleanliness and safety.

• Anti-viral cleaning products were used,
• Breakfast takeaway service was available,
• Cashless payment service was offered,
• Daily disinfection in common areas was noticeable,
• Hand sanitizer was everywhere,
• Hygiene certification was on display,
• Individually-wrapped food options were available,

Wyndham Alltra Vallarta, All-Inclusive Resort Nuevo Vallarta Mexico

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into my ALL-INCLUSIVE ADVENTURE at the Wyndham Alltra Vallarta in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. This isn't your sanitized travel brochure, folks. This is the unfiltered, slightly sunburnt, margarita-fueled truth.

Day 1: Arrival and the Great Buffet-Off

• 1:00 PM (ish) - Arrived, sweating bullets and already regretting the "stylish" travel outfit I'd meticulously planned. Border patrol was… well, it was. Let's just say my Spanish wasn't as rusty as I thought until I tried to explain “all-inclusive.” The flight? Uneventful, thank God. Praying to the travel gods to never see the back of the woman behind me.

• 2:00 PM - Check-in! The lobby is HUGE. Swear I saw a couple get lost in there. The receptionist, bless her heart, was patiently explaining the resort to people who had clearly been drinking since 6 am. I'm thinking of joining them soon.

• 2:30 PM - Room! Finally. Ocean view! Pretty sure I gasped. Realization: I forgot my toothbrush. Immediately, the first crisis of the trip.

• 3:00 PM - The Buffet. Oh, the Buffet. It’s a glorious, chaotic dance of culinary delights and questionable choices. I started with Mexican, obviously. Tacos, enchiladas, all the classics. Then I spotted the sushi. (Questionable choice. But I HAD to.) Proceeded straight to the dessert section because, well, it existed. My plate resembled a small landfill, and the food stains on my pristine white shirt were a testament to my willpower. (Spoiler alert: I have none.)

• 6:00 PM - Swim-up Bar reconnaissance. This is where it starts to get fuzzy, but believe me, it was glorious. Floating on the water, margarita in hand, feeling like a queen. Watched a couple try to do synchronized swimming. Spectacularly bad. Hilarious.

• 8:00 PM - Dinner at the Italian Restaurant, which, let's be honest, tasted suspiciously like the buffet but with better lighting. The waiter was charming, though, and the wine kept flowing.

• 9:30 PM - Show time! The entertainment was… enthusiastic. Picture a slightly out-of-tune Michael Jackson impersonator, a lot of sequins, and questionable lip-syncing. It was the best worst thing I've ever seen. So good.

Day 2: Sun, Sand, and Severe Sunburns (and a Misunderstanding)

• 8:00 AM - Wake up. Head throbbing. Sunlight is an enemy. Realize I'm wearing a shirt I'd never wear at home and look like I'm in a club advert.

• 9:00 AM - Beach time! Found a prime lounger spot. Applied sunscreen (this time, I swear), and promptly fell asleep.

• 11:00 AM - Sunburn. A raging, lobster-red, "I-thought-I-was-smart" sunburn. Face is swollen. Panic sets in. I look like a tomato.

• 12:00 PM - Attempted to eat lunch. Food is the enemy. Everything burns.

• 1:00 PM - Accidentally wandered into a timeshare presentation. Desperately tried to escape. The sales pitch was… intense. Nearly bought a timeshare, which would have been a disaster.

• 3:00 PM - Back to the room. Slathered myself in aloe vera. Cried a little.

• 4:00 PM - Poolside relaxation? No. Pain. Agony. Soaking in the pool just made my skin feel like it was being peeled off.

• 6:00 PM - Dinner at the Mexican restaurant. Ate tacos…again. Ate them slowly this time, like an old lady, because my jaw was killing me and I just wanted some food.

• 7:30 PM - Karaoke night. The singing was even worse than the Michael Jackson tribute, but the camaraderie was real. Had a couple of margaritas (again). Did a duet of "Summer Nights" with a girl named Tiffany. Became best friends.

Day 3: The Pool and the Pain

• 8:00 AM - Wake up again. I'm beginning to believe my bed will be my vacation itself.

• 9:00 AM - Attempted to go the pool this time. Sunscreen (again!). But I'm still afraid of my lobster skin.

• 10:00 AM - The pool! Okay, the pool is nice. I spend all day there, drinking and reading a book.

• 12:00 PM - Lunch at the poolside grill. Delicious, casual food.

• 3:00 PM - The pool, again.

• 5:00 PM - Nap time.

• 6:00 PM - Dinner at the seafood restaurant. Amazing. I get a huge plate of fresh seafood and feel like I'm in heaven. Best meal so far.

• 7:30 PM - Saw a fire breather. It was impressive and a little scary.

Day 4: The Spa and the Sadness

• 9:00 AM - The spa this time. I just want to get away.

• 10:00 AM - Spa time. Enjoy a massage.

• 12:00 PM - Lunch at the poolside grill.

• 1:00 PM - More pool time.

• 3:00 PM - Packing time. I'm sad to leave this place.

• 4:00 PM - I check out of the hotel.

• 5:00 PM - Goodbye to Mexico.

Final Thoughts (and a Plea)

This trip? Messy, beautiful, slightly painful, filled with questionable choices, and a whole lot of laughter. Would I go back? In a heartbeat. Would I change anything? Maybe the sunscreen situation. And maybe the tequila consumption. But hey, that's what makes a trip memorable, right?

Wyndham Alltra Vallarta, you magnificent, margarita-fueled, sunburn-inducing beast. I'll be back. Hopefully, I'll be less red and less lost this time.

Wyndham Alltra Vallarta: Ask Me Anything (and I mean *anything*) - My Vallarta Confessions

Okay, spill it. Is this place *actually* paradise? The Wyndham Alltra Vallarta, I mean. Don't give me the brochure BS.

Alright, here's the deal. Paradise? Look, *nothing* is perfect, okay? Not even that perfect margarita you'll eventually master. And the Wyndham Alltra Vallarta? It has its quirks. But, BUT... for the price, and for what you get? Gosh darn it, I *do* think it’s pretty darn close. Let’s just say, I already looked up flights back while I was *still on the beach*, covered in sunscreen and questionable decisions from the previous night. Paradise adjacent? Absolutely. Paradise-lite? Maybe. But certainly a darn good escape.

The food. Tell me about the FOOD. I’m a notorious foodie. Am I doomed?

Food! Ah, the eternal vacation dilemma! Let me be brutally honest: you're NOT getting Michelin star cuisine. You're not. Accept it. BUT! You're getting *options*. LOTS of options. The buffet? It’s a battlefield, a delicious, chaotic battlefield. There's always something, whether you crave pancakes at 7 am (thank god for pancakes) or a questionable seafood dish at 10 pm (maybe rethink the seafood, just sayin'). The a la carte restaurants, though? Now, *those* are your saving grace. The Italian place? Solid. The Mexican restaurant? Excellent – shoutout to the mole! (Seriously, try the mole.) The steakhouse? Eh, it’s fine. My advice? Pace yourself. Don’t OD on the buffet the first day. Explore. Experiment. And always, ALWAYS, try the guacamole. It's a life lesson folks.

The rooms. Are they… decent? I've seen some questionable hotel photos. What's the real story?

Okay, the rooms. This is where it starts to resemble reality again. They're… fine. They're clean. They’re reasonably sized. You get a bed, a functional bathroom, and hopefully, a balcony with a view. (Pro tip: request a room with a ocean view! Trust me on this one). Don't expect ultra-luxury. Expect a comfortable base. Be prepared for possible wear and tear. The occasional creak from the AC? That's just character, baby! I had a tiny lizard join me for a week, which was actually kind of cool, but, you know, not for everyone. Bring a travel-sized air freshener, just in case you’re a sniffy person like me.

The beach! Is the beach as amazing as it looks in the photos? AND is it swimmable?

The beach. THIS is where the magic happens. Yes. YES. The beach is gorgeous. The sand is soft, the water is warm, and the sunsets… oh, the sunsets will make you weep happy tears. Truly. Swimmable? Absolutely! It's gentle and calm most of the time. You can swim, snorkel, bob around with a margarita in hand (highly recommended!), or just stare out at the endless ocean and wonder why you don't live there. The vendors on the beach are… present. Be prepared for them. A polite "no, gracias" goes a long way. But the beach itself? Absolutely worth the trip, and then some. I even saw a sea turtle. I nearly lost it. It was a *moment*.

What about the drinks? Are the cocktails actually good, or are they watered-down sadness?

Drinks. The lifeblood of an all-inclusive, am I right? The good news is, the cocktails are… decent. Not *amazing*, not craft cocktail level, but perfectly serviceable. They're free, so you can afford to experiment! Try the margaritas, the piña coladas, the mojitos. Don't be afraid to ask for extra tequila (it is Mexico, after all!). Just… pace yourself. I may or may not have spent an afternoon feeling like a sentient cactus. Learn from my mistakes, people. Learn from my mistakes. The lobby bar is my personal favorite, it's open late, and they have comfy chairs. Great for people-watching.

Are there any hidden gems or things to know that the brochures don't tell you?

Ooh, secrets! Okay, here are a few insider tips:

1. The spa is worth it. Even if you only get a quick massage, treat yourself. That level of relaxation? Priceless.
2. Tip generously. The staff works HARD. A few extra pesos go a long way and they deserve it.
3. Bring bug spray. Just trust me on this.
4. Explore the local area. Get out of the resort! Take a taxi to the Malecon (boardwalk) or a day trip to a nearby village.
5. The afternoon poolside entertainment can be cheesy, but it's also kind of… fun. Embrace the ridiculousness.

And one more thing… the sunsets. Seriously. Don't miss them. Get some pictures, and then put your phone away and just *be*. They're breathtaking.

What's the vibe like? Is it family-friendly, party-central, or something in between?

The vibe is… generally family-friendly with a dash of fun. There are definitely families with kids, but it's not overwhelmingly kid-focused. There's enough going on that’s interesting for adults, too. There's a pool for families, a pool for quieter lounging, and the beach is everyone's happy place. At night, the entertainment varies. There's the occasional live music, a show or two (the Michael Jackson tribute? Surprisingly good!), and plenty of opportunities to chat with other guests. It’s not a wild party scene, but it's not a library, either. It’s a good balance. Basically, expect a chilled out, relaxed vibe with options that let you turn up the volume if that's your thing.

Tell me about one day, a really memorable day, that encapsulates the whole Alltra Vallarta experience.

Okay, here's one for you. Picture this: Sunrise. I'm already up, because jet lag is a beast. I grab a coffee and stroll down to the beach. The air is crisp, the sand is cool under my feet, and the sky is a canvas of pink and gold. I find a quiet spot and watch the sun climb over the ocean. Magical. Then, back to the buffet. Pancakes (yes!). Scrambled eggs (meh, but edible). More coffee. After breakfast, I spent some time by the pool, reading a book (try to, at least, but I got distracted by the constant parade of people). Later, the beach again.
