The latest news at Park Royal

Located off the Mexican Pacific coast, the Marietas Islands are one of the natural places you can't miss. They boast incredible beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a wealth of marine biodiversity. This small archipelago, part of the state of Nayarit, has already become a favorite destination for those seeking nature, adventure, and responsible ecotourism.

Where are the Marietas Islands and how to get there?

The Marietas Islands are located just 8 kilometers off the coast of Nayarit and very close to Puerto Vallarta. This group of islands is part of a protected natural area managed by CONANP (National Commission of Natural Protected Areas), which guarantees their conservation and visitor control.

To get there, you must book a tour to the Marietas Islands with authorized operators, departing mainly from Puerto Vallarta, Punta de Mita, or Sayulita. These tours include boat transportation, a certified guide, and snorkeling equipment, ensuring a visit that is respectful of the ecosystem.

Marietas Islands, Nayarit: access from Puerto Vallarta

From Puerto Vallarta, the boat ride takes between 45 minutes and an hour, depending on the swell. This is the most popular option, as many tour operators offer excursions to the Marietas Islands with complete packages that include food, drinks, and water activities.

During the trip, it's common to spot dolphins, manta rays, and, in season (December through March), even humpback whales migrating through the waters of Banderas Bay.

Transportation Options from Sayulita

The charming Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town) of Sayulita is also an ideal spot for visiting the Marietas Islands. With its laid-back, surfing vibe, this bohemian haven is just 40 minutes from Punta de Mita. From there, you can board a boat to the archipelago or book a tour to the Marietas Islands that includes transportation from your accommodation.

If you prefer a more relaxing plan, you can spend the morning strolling through Sayulita's colorful streets and galleries, enjoying Sayulita Beach, and in the afternoon, embark for the Marietas to admire the sunset over the Pacific.

The famous Love’s Beach

Among the archipelago's treasures is Playa del Amor, a natural cavern with a circular opening. This unique formation, a product of erosion, can only be visited in small groups and with prior reservation, to protect its fragile ecosystem. The experience is short, but unforgettable.

If you don't manage to get in, don't worry; the park's surroundings are equally spectacular for swimming, snorkeling, or exploring natural caves.

Tours and Excursions to the Marietas Islands

To protect this paradise, access to the archipelago is only permitted through tours operated by authorized agencies. These tours typically include:

• Transportation by boat or catamaran from Puerto Vallarta or Punta de Mita.


• Snorkeling or kayaking equipment.


• Certified ecotourism guide.


• Stops to swim, observe marine wildlife, or simply enjoy the scenery.

What to do in Nayarit besides the Marietas Islands

The state of Nayarit offers much more than idyllic beaches. You can explore coastal towns like San Pancho, famous for its art and relaxed atmosphere. Visit Lo de Marcos, ideal for relaxing without the crowds and trying the classic pescado zarandeado, a typical regional delicacy.

And, of course, don't miss Sayulita, where surfing, galleries, and local cuisine combine with an authentic and lively vibe. It's the perfect complement to your trip to the Marietas Islands.

Stay at Grand Park Royal Puerto Vallarta

After exploring the Marietas Islands in Nayarit and touring the region's beaches, the ideal break awaits you at Grand Park Royal Puerto Vallarta.

Located on the oceanfront, this resort combines comfort, fine dining, and spectacular views of Banderas Bay. Its spacious rooms, infinity pools, and All-inclusive plan make it the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring the Mexican Pacific.

Can you imagine diving among coral gardens this summer, swimming alongside colorful fish in crystal-clear waters? In Cozumel, that dream becomes reality. Here, swimming in the sea is more than just a visual experience; it's a true connection with nature, as you enter the vibrant underwater world of the Mesoamerican Reef.

But experiencing these natural wonders also means protecting them. In recent years, more travelers, along with the tourism industry, have come to understand the importance of preserving ecosystems, so they remain just as spectacular for generations to come. That’s why many water sports in Cozumel, like snorkeling and scuba diving, now incorporate more mindful and eco-friendly practices.

So, if you're planning a trip to “The Land of the Swallows”, this blog will show you how to take simple yet impactful steps to care for the environment while diving into one of the most unforgettable adventures in the Mexican Caribbean.

Dive with purpose

The Mesoamerican Reef is the second-largest coral reef system in the world. It hosts an extraordinary level of biodiversity, and at the same time, it’s a fragile ecosystem. Here are five simple tips to help you dive or snorkel consciously and responsibly:

1. Choose certified sustainable diving operators. Look for dive centers with certifications such as PADI Green Star, Blue Certified, or those affiliated with organizations like Coral Reef Alliance. These credentials ensure safe practices for both you and the marine ecosystem.


2. Avoid touching or leaning on the coral. Although they may look like sturdy rocks, corals are delicate living organisms. Even the slightest touch can damage or kill them. Always maintain proper buoyancy and keep a respectful distance.


3. Skip conventional sunscreen. Most sunscreens contain chemicals that harm coral reefs. Use biodegradable sunscreen, or better yet, wear a long-sleeve rash guard to protect yourself from the sun.


4. Don’t feed the fish or disturb marine life. Feeding wildlife disrupts the natural balance of the ecosystem and can make certain species dependent or aggressive.


5. Pick up your trash, and any you see. Bring a small mesh bag with your gear and collect any litter you find during your dive. Every piece of plastic you remove helps make a positive impact on the environment.

Stay where the planet comes first

If you’re planning to explore Cozumel’s underwater world, there’s one place where luxury and sustainability come together: Grand Park Royal Cozumel. This resort not only welcomes you with stunning views of the Caribbean, but it’s also the only hotel on the island with the Preferred by Nature certification, in recognition of its commitment to environmental care, community support, and responsible tourism.

Located just 15 minutes from the airport and 5 minutes from the ferry terminal, this tropical hotel is the perfect place to relax before or after your diving adventures. With rooms featuring private balconies and views of the sea or garden, exclusive beach access, and infinity pools (one for families and one adult-only), your stay will be nothing short of unforgettable. Besides, among its sustainability efforts, the resort provides reusable water bottles in every room and water refill stations throughout the property, reducing single-use plastic consumption. And because every great trip deserves great flavor, you’ll enjoy the All-Inclusive plan, with three specialty restaurants, an international buffet, bars, day and nighttime entertainment, plus a gym, spa, and moments that will stay with you long after you’ve checked out.

Remember, exploring with a conscious mindset isn’t just possible: it’s deeply rewarding. Because when you dive or snorkel with care, you don’t just take a postcard home: you take with you a real connection to the planet. Dive without leaving a trace and stay at Grand Park Royal Cozumel.

Located on the southern tip of Cozumel, Punta Sur Eco Beach Park is the island's largest ecological reserve and a must-see destination for those seeking nature, adventure, and relaxation in a heavenly setting.

Tejuino is a drink with a very low level of alcohol (yes, indeed tejuino has alcohol but it is less than 1%) made from fermented corn. You might ask yourself, how is tejuino made? And of course, we will answer this question:

Industrial method

The corn is fermented for 3 to 5 days, then it is put in a blender with piloncillo and water, finally lemon and salt are added to taste.

Popular method

The most popular way and with which most street and local vendors make this drink is the following:

First, an "atole" is prepared by boiling the diluted corn and adding the piloncillo. When it corn masa thickens and takes on a viscous texture it is left to ferment spontaneously for 24 to 48 hours.

Ingredients

• 1 kg of corn dough (fermented or not)


• 1 kg of piloncillo


• 3 liters of water


• 2 lemons


• Salt to taste


• Ice


• In some places chile piquín is added.

Benefits of Tejuino

Tejuino is a drink that has been famous for being good for the body and for having many properties and benefits. In fact, it was demonstrated that tejuino, is able to displace pathogenic bacteria thanks to its large amount of lactic acid bacteria and, in addition, if we add salt and lemon, we will not only improve its taste but also its power to reject pathogenic bacteria by lowering the ph.
After these results, the researchers concluded that among the properties of this drink we have:

• Improves digestive problems.


• It helps to the correct functioning of the intestinal transit.


• It increases the capacity of nutrient absorption.
  

Does Tejuino cure a hangover?

There are many urban legends about the benefits of this drink, but undoubtedly the most common are that it cures diarrhea and hangover, however the tejuino does not have a miraculous power to cure these ills at the time but it is true that, after many investigations it has been shown that for its benefits related to the intestinal tract, tejuino is a very good drink to treat these stomach problems.

If you are going to visit Mexico soon or it is among your next plans, don't forget to try a good glass of refreshing tejuino. We are sure you will not regret!

The Mexican Pacific is a treasure trove of natural beauty, golden beaches and a rich cultural heritage waiting to be explored. One of the most exciting ways to discover this region is through a ferry ride from Mazatlán to Baja California. This trip allows you to experience the wonders of the Sea of Cortez in all its splendor and discover two of Mexico's most iconic tourist destinations.

The Charm of the Ferry Ride

The ferry ride between Mazatlán and Baja California is a unique experience that will immerse you in the scenic beauty of the Mexican Pacific. The crossing lasts approximately 16 hours, providing the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy the panoramic ocean views.

During the trip, you will see spectacular sunsets and, if you are lucky, you may even spot whales and dolphins that frequent these waters. As the ferry departs from Mazatlán's coastline, you'll be engulfed in the serenity of the ocean, experiencing the sensation of escaping your daily routine.

Setting Sail from Mazatlán

The journey begins at the picturesque port of Mazatlán, known as the "Pearl of the Pacific", here you can enjoy the delicious cuisine of the region, so we recommend spending a few days before venturing out to sea. Remember that you can stay at Park Royal Beach Mazatlán where you can enjoy:

After enjoying Mazatlán, it's time to board the ferry. These massive vessels are equipped with observation areas to take in panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. As the ferry departs from the port, you'll venture into the Sea of Cortez, also known as the "Aquarium of the World" due to its rich biodiversity.

Arriving at Los Cabos

After a few exciting hours at sea, the ferry finally arrives in Baja California, a region that combines the natural beauty of the desert with the charm of its tourist cities. One of the places that will surprise you is San José del Cabo. The sight of impressive cliffs and golden beaches will welcome you as you get ready to explore this dreamy destination.

Los Cabos is known for its thrilling activities and top-notch culinary scene. You can embark on a boat ride to El Arco, an iconic natural rock formation that rises majestically in the Gulf of California, or perhaps you'd prefer to dive into the crystal-clear waters for some snorkeling.

What are you waiting for, visit us!

There is nothing more exciting than admiring and getting to know the nature that our land has to offer. And we’re sure, that on every traveler's bucket list is to visit a coral reef and/or a unique natural wonder, such as the cenotes.

Reefs are popular for their beauty and vibrant colors, but apart from this, they are extremely important ecologically. These jungles of the sea are one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet, hosting up to 25% of the total marine biodiversity that exists in the oceans. And cenotes are just as important, as they are vital for biological diversity, providing water and habitat for insects, reptiles, mammals, birds, fish, and plants.

Today, raising awareness about the protection of these places is more important than ever. Our planet has faced serious environmental problems and threats, so today, to enjoy it and to be able to continue exploring it, it’s important to follow certain rules and act responsibly.

Luckily, we bring for you the next recommendations when visiting a cenote and/or reef area to continue enjoying and living responsibly with the environment:

• Do not touch, chase, stress, or feed marine life. And please don't even think about extracting flora and fauna from the area you visit.
• Do not touch, step, or rest on the coral structure. Remember that they needed several years to grow. And also, when you enter or exit the water, make sure you do so without touching the coral reefs.
• If you use fins for diving or snorkeling, be sure not to hit the corals or stir up sediment. The view is just as impressive from a safe distance from them.
• Do not take flash photography of marine life, as you can seriously damage their eyesight.
• Don't forget to use a biodegradable sunscreen and mosquito repellent. Those containing zinc oxide or titanium oxide damage reefs.
• When booking, choose boats or motorboats that use mooring buoys and are responsible for their waste.
• Remember that your financial contribution will be used for the maintenance of the protected natural area, so it is important to ask for your ticket or bracelet.
• Have you seen how easy it is to take care of our planet while having an incredible experience with nature?



With Park Royal Hotels & Resorts you can find a place to rest, enjoy and create unforgettable memories. But also, our staff will help you get any of these activities so that the whole family can enjoy to the fullest the friendly experience of living with coral reefs and/or cenotes while traveling responsibly.
