SkyDream Parks Gondola — Attraction in Nayarit

Beautiful gondola and it looks like the views would be amazing! BUT! You can’t actually ride it, it seems.

We’re staying at the Vidanta resort and it was not explained at any point during check in how the gondola and upper parks worked. We made it most of the way through our stay and wanted to take a ride on it for the views. We talked to the person manning it, who said we had to talk to the concierge. So we head back to concierge at our hotel and are told that you can only ride it if you’re going to the park, and you can only go to the park on Thursdays. It’s Friday, and we leave Sunday. Had we known this, we may have done it on Thursday.

Basically, I can’t speak to how well it’s run or anything of the sort, but messaging needs to be clearer. (Can be said about almost everything at Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta, honestly.) I’d looked online prior to the trip and the website heavily implies it’s open and available to be ridden. Other people were riding it every day (we can watch the gondola from our hotel room) including today. Why can they when we can’t? I would have paid for a gondola ticket but it’s simply not available? Overall disappointing experience and communication about resort amenities leaves a lot...

I usually don’t post “bad reviews” but I’m posting this so you don’t go through what me and friends went through. A lot of walking, people not speaking English, and at the end of the day no gondola ride.

This is the Gondola you see when coming into Nuevo Vallarta. It starts at the beach (Mayan Resort) and goes towards the bridge you go over driving towards the resorts. You CAN NOT go and buy a Gondola ticket. They will turn you away and say you need to “see your hotel concierge”….AKA you have to sit through the Mayan Timeshare Brief to get tickets. We have a 9am brief for “only 1 hour”and it was canceled because we told them we have a excursion at noon. So that just told me, that’s the “1 hour brief” wasn’t really going to be 1 hour.

Good luck! Wish I had...

The Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta gondola has transformed resort transportation! As an owner, I'm delighted with the improved ease and speed of navigating the grounds. The exclusivity for owners and guests adds a welcome layer of comfort. The aerial views are spectacular, showcasing the resort's beauty from a unique vantage point. Witnessing the Kingdom of the Sun's final phase construction from above is a fascinating bonus. The smooth, quiet ride makes traversing the expansive resort a pleasure. This addition has notably elevated the overall experience, making Vidanta even more convenient and enjoyable. It's a significant...
