3 live collabsHotels across Puerto Vallarta — every brand running a creator program right now.
If you’re looking to trade content for high-end stays, Puerto Vallarta is a goldmine. The scene here is dominated by luxury all-inclusive resorts that prioritize high-production aesthetic shots, drone footage, and lifestyle reels. You’ll find that properties are particularly interested in creators who can highlight the transition from beach relaxation to on-site fine dining and luxury amenities.
Major players like Hyatt Inclusive Collection, Marriott Vacations, and Playa Hotels & Resorts maintain active programs here. Most collabs involve comped stays and food in exchange for deliverables, though paid campaigns are becoming more frequent for creators with strong engagement metrics in the luxury travel niche. Since many of these resorts are clustered along the coast, it’s easy to batch content for multiple properties in a single trip.
