For me, this experience is a way of sharing the Mexico I know and love. I enjoy taking my guests beyond the usual tourist areas, through small communities, local markets and peaceful places surrounded by nature. These are the flavors, traditions and landscapes that are part of my roots. I welcome my guests as friends and personally take care of the details throughout the day. I love seeing them choose fresh fruit at the market, relax in the warm thermal pools and enjoy the Mexican meal I prepare for them. We end the day with a massage by the beach, but what I truly hope they take home is the feeling of having experienced a genuine and warm part of Mexico. Sharing my culture and creating these memories with my guests is what makes this experience so meaningful to me.

Amazing experience
This was a truly memorable experience. We enjoyed the thermal baths, a remarkable grilled lunch, and a wonderfully soothing massage on the beach—more than we could have expected. Jose Antonio is dedicated to the experience he builds for guests. His attention to detail and his wish for us to love Mexico were clear. He succeeded and exceeded expectations!! Anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta and nearby towns should share this experience. Gracias de todo corazón!! Claudia y Erik

Get away
So relaxing great to get out of the city the area is beautiful and our tour guide was great! The message on the beach received mixed reviews from our group but still well worth the tour!!!

Great way to disconnect for the day!
We had a great experience on this tour. Lots of thought put into to the trip. Jose is engaging and encouraged us to select fresh fruits and vegetables that he later uses to cook a delicious meal. The drive had a balance of beauty, stops for a break, and was informative. The natural springs are remote, therapeutic, and serene. The massage was on the beach with the sound of the waves crashing in the background. The homemade chocolate treats at the end were an unexpected bonus. (Compliments of his wife, thank you!) I would highly recommend this trip if you want a low key, relaxing day. *We didn’t take pics at the springs or beach since we were just enjoying the atmosphere and relaxing.

Unique experience
This truly is a unique experience. Jose Antonio is truly knowledgeable about local culture , geography and history of this area. We were only the 4 of us our family and we thoroughly enjoyed the hot springs and the special meal prepares by Antonio. He took us to a local tortilla factory and we picked the vegetables and fruits. He made sure we got a good selection as we are vegetarian and grilled and prepared delicious meals. He then took us to Bucerías and we got one of the best massages by the local therapists on the beach. Highly recommend if you are looking for authentic and unique experience. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

This was one of our...
This was one of our favorite things we did in Puerto Vallarta! Antonio was so friendly and we felt like we were being catered to by him. It was a day of relaxation. You don’t have to worry about lunch, because he does everything. The food was excellent! Then, the massage on the beach at the end of the day was the cherry on top.

Shaded Hot Spring, Massage and Mex Grill in Puerto Vallarta: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Shaded Hot Spring, Massage and Mex Grill in Puerto Vallarta cost?
+
Prices start at $165 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Vallarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Shaded Hot Spring, Massage and Mex Grill in Puerto Vallarta take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Vallarta is not rushed.
Is Shaded Hot Spring, Massage and Mex Grill in Puerto Vallarta worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 597 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Shaded Hot Spring, Massage and Mex Grill in Puerto Vallarta?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Shaded Hot Spring, Massage and Mex Grill in Puerto Vallarta suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shaded Hot Spring, Massage and Mex Grill in Puerto Vallarta?
+
Around 209 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Vallarta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Vallarta and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shaded Hot Spring, Massage and Mex Grill in Puerto Vallarta start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Vallarta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta?
+
On Outty we rank every Puerto Vallarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Winner 2026 Downtown Vallarta Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Taco Adventure Evening Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puerto Vallarta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puerto Vallarta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
