Activities at Hotel Riu Jalisco

Full activity program including non-motorized water sports from the beach, fitness classes, and the Pacha disco on-site. The Nuevo Vallarta marina is nearby for boat excursions. The beach at Flamingos has Pacific waves suitable for boogie boarding.

6 Pools
Beach Access
Spa

Swimming Pools

Main Pool 1 (with Swim-up Bar)

The social center of the property. Swim-up bar means you can stay in the water and be served. Busiest pool on-site during peak periods. Claims chairs by 9 a.m.

Main Pool 2 (with Swim-up Bar)

Second main pool with its own swim-up bar. Similar atmosphere to Main Pool 1 but typically slightly less congested.

Children's Swimming Pool / Splash Pad

Dedicated to younger children — shallow depth with splash features.

Family Pool 1 (Relaxation)

Quieter pool explicitly designated for relaxation. The animation team does not run organized games here — the right pool for families who want swimming without noise.

Family Pool 2 (Relaxation)

Second relaxation pool. Less crowded than the main swim-up bar pools.

Family Pool 3 (Sports)

Organized games and sports activities pool. The place for polo, volleyball, and activity-hour programming.

Family Pool 4 (Sports)

Second sports pool. The most active and loudest zone on the property.

Beaches

Playa de Flamingos

A wide, dark-sand Pacific beach directly in front of the resort. The Pacific coast conditions mean genuine wave action — different in character from Caribbean all-inclusive beaches. The water is swimmable but requires more attention with young children than calm Caribbean coves. Boogie boarding is a real activity here. Loungers and umbrellas included. The beach is public in Mexico; vendors occasionally approach guests.
