Hotel Mousai Puerto Vallarta Receives Esteemed AAA Five Diamond Designation for 11th Consecutive Year
PUERTO VALLARTA (July 16, 2025) — TAFER Hotels & Resorts – known for its award-winning portfolio of luxury properties throughout Mexico’s most desirable beach destinations - is pleased to share that its flagship adults-only resort, Hotel Mousai Puerto Vallarta, has earned the prestigious AAA Five Diamond distinction. This marks the resort’s 11th consecutive year receiving the honor and further solidifies its position as the first and only AAA Five Diamond property throughout the state of Jalisco.
“We are honored to have Hotel Mousai recognized once again as Puerto Vallarta’s only AAA Five Diamond hotel and among only three properties in all of Mexico to maintain this distinction for 2025,” said Sasa Milojevic, Chief Operating Officer of TAFER Hotels & Resorts. “This acknowledgement is a direct result of the hotel’s passionate team and their unwavering dedication to delivering extraordinary service and unforgettable experiences year after year. Congratulations to the entire Hotel Mousai team on this remarkable achievement.”
As detailed in AAA’s 2025 Five Diamond list, fewer than 0.5% of nearly 30,000 AAA-inspected hotels throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean achieve this elite rating. The Five Diamond properties must exceed expectations in service, luxury, amenities, and guest experience through annual, anonymous inspections conducted by trained evaluators.
Perched in the lush, tropical south zone of Puerto Vallarta and overlooking the Pacific, Hotel Mousai seamlessly blends contemporary design with opulent indulgence. The resort boasts 145 luxurious suites and four lavish penthouses – each outfitted with advanced in-room eco-conscious technology for personalized comfort and sustainability. All suites feature private terraces with jacuzzis, offering an immersive indoor-outdoor experience that defines the Hotel Mousai stay. Beyond the rooms, guests can enjoy six gourmet restaurants, two rooftop infinity pools, and a curated collection of wellness and leisure experiences. The resort also offers exclusive access to TierraLuna Gardens, a vibrant open-air lifestyle plaza within the neighboring Garza Blanca Preserve, featuring rotating art exhibits, boutique shops, farmers markets, and live cultural programming.
Hotel Mousai Puerto Vallarta received its first AAA Five Diamond designation in 2015 and continues to raise the bar for elevated, adults-only travel in Mexico. Following its success, TAFER expanded the brand in 2024 with the debut of Hotel Mousai Cancun, ushering in a new era of luxury for the collection.
Rates at Hotel Mousai Puerto Vallarta start at $417 per person, per night, based on double occupancy, including the Gourmet Culinary All-Inclusive Plan featuring haute cuisine, signature alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, first-class, 24-hour room service, and a dedicated Butler for multi-bedroom accommodations.
