Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - The CasaMagna Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa will welcome this year’s Pan American Games attendees with a special offer that includes a free night.

The XVI Pan American Games Guadalajara 2011 will take place October 14-30 and Puerto Vallarta will host four events: open water aquatics, beach volleyball, sailing and the triathlon.

Regular competition and the finals for each of these events will occur in Puerto Vallarta on October 16 to 23. In an effort to ensure guests can see as many events as possible, the CasaMagna Puerto Vallarta Resort is offering the Sand Dollar Fourth Night Free package to attendees of the Games.

The Sand Dollar Fourth Night Free special includes:

• Accommodations in a deluxe garden view room
• Daily breakfast buffet for two
• Fourth night free

Rates start at $129 USD/night and guests must use promotional code S29 when booking. Rates are subject to taxes. Offer is valid seven days a week through November 23, 2011. To book call: 1-800-PARADISE or visit the CasaMagna Marriott Puerto Vallarta resort website.

The Pan American Games began in 1951 to celebrate the athleticism of individuals and teams from every country in the Americas. Every four years, a different country hosts the events, which range from track and field to feats of strength. Guests planning a Puerto Vallarta vacation can observe some of the most popular events while staying in the luxurious CasaMagna Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort.

When not attending Pan American Games events guests are encouraged to take part in the resort’s Secretos de la Familia program, which offers an insider’s view of the local culture and traditions. Discovery programs include culinary lessons, marine life education, language exploration and tequila tastings—as this Puerto Vallarta resort is one of the few in the world that grows its own blue agave and produces a proprietary tequila brand.
