Dora and SpongeBob Vacay in Mexico's CasaMagna Marriott

Where: Paseo La Marina 435, Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico, 48354

While the thought of sprawling out under an umbrella and sipping a margarita is all you need to entice you to head to Mexico on vacation, it’s not exactly the type of stuff that’ll get the kids excited. But if you promise them that they can hang with Dora and SpongeBob when they are there, they’ll start packing their bags. It also wouldn’t hurt to say it’s the closest they’ll get to Bikini Bottom.

The beloved characters will be hanging at the CasaMagna Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa as part of the hotel’s Nickelodeon Getaway package.

CasaMagna Marriott in Puerto Vallarta Produces its Own Tequila

Where: Av. Paseo De La Marina No. 5,, Puetro Vallarta, Mexico, 48354

Yes, you read right. There's a CasaMagna brand of tequila made from the agave azul harvested on property. And the hotel has created a whole experience around it.

The resort has a Tequila Experto (expert) on staff, certified by the Tequila Regulatory Council of Mexico (TRC). The Tequila Expert conducts tasting classes to increase guest awareness of the new found popularity of tequila. More than 117 different "by the glass" tequila options are maintained in the CasaMagna Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort Tequila Vault for use in all the resort's food and beverage outlets.

Guests can also sit in on weekly tasting classes and get a brief history of the tequila from the Tequila Expert.

Naturally, the hotel has a packaged centered around their tequila called the Tequila Reposado package. For $263 a night, you get deluxe accommodations in an ocean view room for two, complimentary breakfast buffet for two at the resort's La Estancia restaurant, tasting of three of the resort's tequilas with a Tequila Expert and a 750 ml complimentary bottle of tequila to take home.
