Monday night was stellar for the Riviera Nayarit, as it received the “Crystal Apple Award” for “Best Destination 2019” from prestigious US wholesaler Apple Vacations during the company’s yearly trade show held in Chicago, its regional headquarters.

The “Crystal Apple Award” was received together with Puerto Vallarta, the destination’s strategic partner, and was awarded based on ratings given to service providers by hundreds of thousands of Apple Vacations’ world travelers via the company’s questionnaires.
