Puerto Vallarta December trip combining families
We’re hoping to go to Puerto Vallarta this Christmas with our families. We’ll be bringing together three or four different groups, mostly grandparents (2 of which are divorced from each other) and two small kids- so ease will be a priority.
Any recommendations on an resort, on a walkable beach, is kid-friendly, and possibly all-inclusive? Our budget is about $2,000 per couple for 5 nights. Thank you

We stayed at the Iberostar in Punta Mita (fly into Puerto Vallarta and it's about a 40 or so minute trip from the airport) and it was great. We took our 1 year old and 5 year old and my parents. Not sure what the rates are during the holidays but they were super reasonable for a random Oct trip. The beach was lovely, the kids loved both the big pool and the kids pool, which has a little water slide, and the food was good. Anyway, would totally recommend.

We're a big fan of All Inclusive resorts for multi-generation vacations. Hyatt Ziva is a nice, family friendly resort. Its beach is quite nice and swimmable. We have always enjoyed staying at Ziva. Another resort we've considered but haven't been to is Fiesta Americana. Both resorts have kids club, entertainment, decent food, friendly staff, pools, beach, etc.
