Sheraton Buganvilias Resort & Convention Center
When families visit the Sheraton Buganvilias Resort & Convention Center in the Hotel Zone, they’re only steps away from the Pacific Ocean and Banderas Bay.
While there’s no standalone waterpark at this resort, your vacation will be a splash with two large free-form pools and an oversized jacuzzi with waterfalls. Take advantage of supervised activities for kids while parents swim up to the bars for a toast. Non-motorized watersports include kayaking and paddleboarding.
Kids can also enjoy non-water activities at the Kids’ Club, known as the Sheratoons, that include video games, cooking workshops, and themed events.
All that water activity will work up an appetite. If you have a family of picky eaters, there are four restaurants, including the casual poolside La Pergola that serves light bites.

What to Look for in a Family Friendly Resort with a Water Park
One of the great things about taking the family to a resort with a water park or several aqua-based options is the amount of fun everyone can have. Check for age-appropriate features like shallow or kids’ pools. After all, toddlers and teenagers will need differently sized slides, and younger children will need more supervision.
Look out for multiple pools and special clubs for designated age groups that can socialize within their comfort zones and activity levels. Check for seating options such as lounge chairs and nearby trees.
Kids can be picky eaters, so you want a waterpark resort with enough dining options so that every mealtime won’t create an issue. Check for buffets, a choice between local and international cuisine, special kids’ meals, or the ability to schedule an appropriate meal plan. These all inclusive resorts often have at least four restaurants and snack options to please everyone throughout the day.
Poolside service is helpful for the family since parents and kids don’t have to stop their water fun to grab a quick snack or drink. Check for non-water activities, including movie nights, Wi-Fi access, live music, crafts, and beach games.
Don’t forget to check the location. Luckily, many of the resorts in Puerto Vallarta are close to the airport, beach, and other local attractions, such as the El Malecon.
