A Golfers Dream

The Pacifico Golf Course designed by Jack Nicklaus is a golfers dream. This picturesque beauty has the ability to take your breath away with its 8 holes that border the Pacific Ocean and Banderas Bay.

You literally feel like you are looking at a postcard; with sweeping views like these the game of golf becomes much more enjoyable. Looking for a challenge? Try the world-famous “Tail of the Whale”, which is the world’s only “natural island green”. Tee off across the ocean onto a narrow green, where even the best golfers get a bit challenged.

When you are looking to get your fitness on outside of the gym head over to the basketball court and shoot some hoops or take a dip in one of their amazing pools.  The resort offers three aquatic experiences, each completely different from the next.
