When it comes down to it, there are two very different types of travelers. There are those in search of an intimate getaway, eager to bask in the peace and quiet found in the most quaint of destinations, and then, there are the others. F or some, a worry-free vacation entails having everything under one roof, but too often we turn our noses up when the word "mega-resort" is mentioned. When planning to stay somewhere that's on a much grander scale, the focus ultimately shifts from where you're traveling to, to the actual size of the property, the range of amenities and the overall quality of the resort. Although it's not uncommon to adapt a "more is more" mentality while on vacation, these over-the-top hotels tend to bring up thoughts of chaos, something that sacrifices subtlety for grandi- osity. For some guests, especially ones bringing their whole family, narrowing everything down to one place alleviates the burden of factoring in trivial concerns and allows for more independence. In the end, it's up to each guest to decide how they'll spend their time, but just know that there's a place that caters to this sort of "bigger is better" attitude, and it's brought to you by Mexico's leading luxury resort developer, Vidanta. Just 10 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta Interna- tional Airport sits Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta, the re- gion's largest and most luxurious beachfront resort, spanning a total of 2,500 acres and boasting five hotels, 27 pools, and 38 bars and restaurants. The sheer magnitude of this property alone is a triumph for mega-resorts, but what really makes this a one- of-a-kind destination is Vidanta's dedication to de- tail. From a staff that anticipates your every possible want and need to unrivaled amenities and spacious accommodations, staying at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta is like having your own personal piece of paradise. While the property itself has been around for years, it has undergone several recent renovations including the addition of its Grand Luxxe Towers, a Conven- tion Center, an on-site organic farm, new indoor/out- door wellness centers and two signature golf courses. During VUE's recent stay, we were able to experience these enhancements firsthand and came to under- stand the carefully crafted vision behind Vidanta's most exclusive Mexican destination.
