Hotel Sheraton Buganvilias Resort & Convention Center (Puerto Vallarta, Mexico)

If you're looking for a resort that you can escape to and not leave the property, the Sheraton has everything from beachfront access to pools and multiple restaurants.

Be sure to speak with the hotel staff about setting up tours if you want to go out and explore, they have plenty of suggestions and ideas for every interest level.

Each of the rooms and suites at the hotel are well-maintained and offer spacious and inviting layouts.

Puerto Vallarta has a good number of timeshare properties and there are select rooms at the Sheraton that are provided for these uses - if you aren't interested, be sure to avoid signing up for a presentation and be firm with the employees if they continue to pitch attending a presentation. It could also be hard to determine who is a hotel employee and who is a timeshare employee, so be alert.

As with any hotel, there are a number of inconsiderate guests. There is a 'no reserve' chair policy when it comes to the pool, but some guests attempt to save chairs for later use in the day - be sure to alert hotel staff if that happens so you can enjoy the pool and surrounding amenities.

If you are staying at the hotel on business or want to use the Internet in your room, be prepared to pay a daily fee for it. You also have the option to upgrade to a Club room - the Club rooms and Lounge provide Internet access complimentary in addition to other amenities.
