One might forget that the 120-room St. Regis is actually in the middle of a gated community of luxury hotels, private villas, and a golf course just north of Puerto Vallarta. The secluded atmosphere is achieved through unobtrusive design and landscaping and an enviable position hemmed in by rocky headlands. From the quiet reception villa atop the bluff, a series of reflecting pools and villas run down a gentle slope. The beach itself, just beyond the infinity pool, is ideal for swimming. The hotel has an effortlessly relaxed sensibility, with huge beds, indoor and outdoor showers, and ample terraces with a table and a chaise big enough for two. The butlers are helpful but not obsequious, and the food at both restaurants is simple yet delicious.
When to go: In January, days are sunny but there's a breeze.
Which room to book: Number 7303, just steps from the pool, has great beach views from its large terrace.
