The Setting and Accessibility of Jorullo Paradise

Located in Jalisco, just outside Puerto Vallarta, Jorullo Paradise offers a tranquil oasis away from the city’s noise. The experience begins with a shuttle from a designated meeting point — the OXXO convenience store across from the Sheraton Hotel — making logistics straightforward. The ride itself is a small detail, but knowing you’re being transported comfortably to a scenic spot helps set the tone.
Once there, the primary draw is the main pool with stunning views, perfect for cooling off while taking in the lush surroundings. There’s also a shared thermal water pool, limited to five people, which promises a more intimate soak in warm waters. It’s worth noting that the pools are accessible as part of the day pass, making the visit suitable for most guests looking to relax.
However, there are some considerations. The tour isn’t designed for children under 4, pregnant women, or anyone with mobility challenges. The paths and facilities might not accommodate wheelchairs or those with limited mobility comfortably. Still, for most able-bodied travelers, the natural trails and pools provide a delightful retreat.

The Itinerary and Activities

The day begins with shuttle transportation from the meeting point, which is quite convenient. The group typically spends the morning settling in, lounging by the pools, or exploring the surrounding scenery. The focus here is on relaxation rather than strenuous activity.
One of the highlight features is the opportunity to choose between two adventurous options: a Bike Flight or a Hiking Adventure. While details on these are limited, they add a bit of variety for those who want more than just lounging. Whether you prefer pedaling through scenic trails or walking amidst nature, these options help tailor the experience to your interests.
The meal is a significant part of the day. You’ll enjoy a traditional Mexican breakfast, followed by your choice of a main dish — options include shrimp to taste, grilled beef, or a hamburger — paired with a non-alcoholic national drink. We loved the emphasis on regional flavors, which brings an authentic touch that elevates this day beyond just lounging.
Throughout the day, you’re free to relax at your own pace, whether that means soaking in the pools, snapping photos of the scenery, or savoring the included meal. The views are a recurring highlight, offering a picturesque backdrop that makes every photo memorable.
The Value and Price

At $125 per person, this experience offers a balance of value and indulgence. When you consider the shuttle service, access to pools, a traditional breakfast, and a thoughtfully curated meal, it’s quite reasonable for a day of leisure in such a scenic setting.
Reviews mention that the experience is well-rated at 4.4 stars, reflecting consistent satisfaction. Visitors appreciate the friendly staff, peaceful environment, and the quality of the food and amenities. Some have noted that the views are truly breathtaking, which makes the price feel justified.
For those on a budget, or travelers who prefer more activity, it’s worth comparing this experience to other options. But if you value authentic surroundings, comfort, and a scenic escape, this pass delivers on those fronts.
The Experience of the Setting

Imagine yourself reclining on a sun lounger, the gentle breeze sweeping through the lush greenery, with the mountains and valleys stretching out in the distance. That’s the kind of scenery that makes Jorullo Paradise special. The natural environment is calm and inviting — ideal for unwinding or enjoying a quiet meal.
The pools are clean and well-maintained, with the main pool offering ample space for relaxing swim or simple lounging. The thermal water pool provides a gentle warm soak, adding a therapeutic element. From many reviews, it’s clear that the views from the pools and dining areas are a major draw — travelers often mention the “stunning vistas” as a highlight.
The presence of wildlife, like the white-tailed deer at the Wildlife Conservation Unit (UMA), adds an extra layer of authenticity and connection to nature. Visitors often find this a charming bonus, especially animal lovers.
