Carrera A Barra De Navidad KM 4.5, Barra de Navidad, MX

Presenting Costa Sur Resort, a 160-key (including Penthouse) 4-star beachfront resort located 10 minutes from downtown Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, on the South Shore of the Bay of Banderas. This beautiful property, a Puerto Vallarta classic, is being offered for sale for the first time in almost 21 years.

Costa Sur is currently soft-branded by Sonesta International Hotels in its Classico Collection. The resort property consists of two towers nestled in its own private beach alcove. The common areas and numerous amenities are situated between the two towers. The proposed sale is for the 160-unit North Tower, plus amenities (see photos). The North Tower consists of large oceanfront studio units with kitchens and kitchenettes, and is best suited to operate as a hotel. The North Tower also includes a stunning penthouse with a private pool and deck.

Costa Sur was originally developed for timeshare use. For decades, it operated primarily to host its timeshare owners and supplemented timeshare use with customary rental. Since the purchase of the resort in 2004, the timeshare component of usage has dropped; it now accounts for approximately 13% of the annual occupancy, with the balance of the inventory used as hotel inventory. There is a natural attrition that occurs with timeshare consumers as they age and travel less. Since ownership has not been in active timeshare sales for 15 years, this trend of declining use by timeshare owners is expected to continue until the end of 2030, when the usage of the remaining 1,000 (estimated) legacy/fixed-week owners is expected to expire. Approximately 980 Club Costa Vida and Playa del Sol members will remain. These members’ usage is based on availability.

Located on Puerto Vallarta’s fabled Gold Coast, the Costa Sur Resort boasts its own private beach and swimming lagoon. Just 10 minutes away from downtown Puerto Vallarta's nightlife, Costa Sur sits in a tranquil setting, directly on the beautiful Bay of Banderas.
