Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa: Just okay

Did not like the food, very sub par. 3/4 of us got diarrhea. The hotel doesn't use straws for their drinks for environment purposes but a pina colada is not the same without a straw. The Explorer's kids club also told my children they had to leave 10 minutes before break time at 5pm. My kids were sitting alone in hotel for 10 minutes waiting for us outside of explorer's club. Wasn't impressed with that at all. Pool was very dirty too.

Secrets Vallarta Bay: Perfect Week at Secrets!

Just returned from a week at Secrets in Puerto Vallarta. The resort was amazing from the minute we arrived until we left. Rooms were spacious, and always well stocked and cleaned. We spent our days in the pool or playing VB at the beach or activity pool. The waiters we very efficient and never let you get thirsty. We saw some of the shows every night and were impressed with the quality. We tried all of the restaurants with the exception of the Mexican. Our favorite was the Italian, follow [... read more]ed by the Asian (for the appetizers). We would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for an Adult only resort with a great mix of action and relaxation.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Not what we were expecting

We booked a ocean front room The advertising said a king size bed or 2 double beds. We were not even asked what kind of room we wanted. The room we were given had a queen bed in it . We went down to ask for two double beds and was given a room with 2 beds. The air conditioning was not that strong . The shower even though just had cold water on still came out warm. Resort was clean and the staff worked hard. Food was bland It is a party place If you like noise and music Its the pl [... read more]ace to go Very reasonable price good place for kids the beach was amazing nice nice waves 24 hours security at front gate Taxi always available

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Nice resort

Overall the resort was great ! The rooms were well laid out and the cleaning staff were fantastic. The food on the other hand was a bit to be desired,poor quality .you might want to think of eating off the resort . The staff were great and helpful but had a low English vocabulary. The pools were clean and lots of seating .only one adult pool a distance from the beach the other pools were full of screaming children .no swim up bars .

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: I wouldn't stay again!

Rooms are not sound proof so you hear all noises of the night life. Air conditioning is poor. Pools close at 7 or 8. Unless you want to get up at 7 AM to make restaurant reservations your only option is buffet food. Found dead cockroaches outside our door 3 times. Staff are very friendly and helpful in buffets, bars, during check in and out as well as the conceirge services. Beach is clean and easily accessible. There are no elevators in most blocks so be prepared for the possibility of w [... read more]alking 3 flights of stairs in the heat. Night shows were great. Can book excursions onsite however staff were not always there when they were supposed to be open (over hour and a half late one day). Cost of one week all inclusive was reasonable.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Such a wonderful place

Honestly perfect place to go to relax. Food was delicious and staff was friendly would stay here again. They had 6 different pools to choose from and the shows were really entertaining. You could go bike riding or play tennis or just relax on the beach with a drink.

Riu Flamingos: Beautiful

I just came back from a one week vacation and really enjoyed it. I loved the location, I walked 2 hours a day and felt very safe. The beach was amazing as well as the water. The sunsets every night we're absolutely beautiful! The resort wasvery clean, loved the food as well, especially the Italian restaurant. The staff were very friendly and were always smiling. It was great!

Secrets Vallarta Bay: AWESOME RESORT !!!!

WE HAVE BEEN TO SECRETS PV TWICE NOW AND LOVED IT JUST THE SAME AS OUR FIRST VISIT, BUT THEY HAVE CHNGED TWO THINGS WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT BACK FOR TRIP 3........ -NO MORE COLD CANS OF BEER ON ICE IN A STEEL COOLER NEAR ACTIVITY POOL. -ALSO LAST TIME THEY SERVED FOOD ON A SURF BOARD IN POOL BAR WHICH WAS A NICE TOUCH.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Excellent Service

This resort is well kept and the pools are excellent. My kids had a great time playing in the kids area. The rooms were a little small so upgrade if possible. However, the service of the staff was excellent. Enough can't be said about the staff (waiters, bartenders, lifeguards) and their attention to details. I would recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing trip

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: Nice resort.

Nice quiet location on the beach, closed to marine and city center. The building's design is modern and comfortable. The property inside and outside of hotel keeps clean. Our room cleaned daily with no complains about. The meal is good. The staff polite and tried them best.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Look Elsehwere! Trust me.

Average hotel at best. Far from a 4 star rating. Food was underwhelming; both bad in terms of selection and quality. Rooms were very uncomfortable, dated, and the washrooms in particular were very ghetto. No safe unless you pay $3 USD per day. No fridge/bar in the room. Lots of mold and bugs in the rooms. Pools were dirty. Locals conquered the resort. Security is questionable since anybody can enter the resort without question. Shows and entertainment were putrid. Beach is filled with [... read more] little rocks and its very uncomfortable unlike the rest of the beach at the other resorts. Overall, this is a very bad resort unless you get an insane deal and budget is your issue. I strongly recommend to look elsewhere. I spoke to many tourists on the resort and everyone felt the exact same way.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Would not go back

I was at the royal decameron 2 years ago and had an amazing time this time was horrible.. the ceiling leaked from the upstairs toilet.. the complained several times asked for another room nothing was done.. the toilet back up.. nothing was done .. asked for water and towel took over 1 hour to get .. service sucked.. not impressed for price I paid

Buenaventura Grand Hotel and Great Moments: Great location

Good: Great location - beachfront and only 10 minutes walk to Malecom. Very friendly and sweet staff. Grounds were cleaned constantly. Average: Food good but not great. Mainly Mexican dishes. Rooms clean but outdated (especially bathrooms), it is old hotel and needs rooms renovation. AC is also old. Bad: Major construction in the middle of the hotel, very noisy going through the whole day. Some rooms are more noisy than others. We were relocated 3rd night to more quiet rm. If you are look [... read more]ing for the Organic food, there is not any selection! They try to get you to their presentation for the Hotel Club Vacation. If you agree, you get free city tour and massage but you will also waste several hrs and get the hard sell. In summary, good value for the Money (we got it at discounted cost).

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Good Time

Beautiful grounds. We requested a main floor room near the adults only pool and in general the staff did a really good job in keeping kids out. Part of our entertainment for the day was sitting on our little patio watching kids jumping into the pool as soon as the lifeguard's back was turned. Weather in June is around 32 and muggy, great for swimming in the ocean.Room was clean.A\C worked well. Food is quite good with lots of variety from 2 buffets and 5 specialty restaurants.Staff are always  [... read more]friendly and helpful.Only downside is I resent having to rent a key to the in- room safe. All in all, we were quite happy with our stay at the Royal Decameron

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Excelent for everything

Simply an excellent deal for everything, recommended and thinking visit again with more friends and family Excelente paquete todo incluido, subí 4 kilos mismo con todas las actividades y deportes realizados...verdadera diversión, servicio gentil y sin presiones como en otros destinos....recomendable

Hilton Vallarta Riviera Resort: Exceeded our expectations

This hotel/resort is amazing! Friendly staff, beautiful clean grounds. Rooms were modern and all ocean view. Beds were comfier than home. Chairs on balcony were also very comfortable. Poolside and beach drink/food service was excellent. Food was great. The chefs at the a la cartes were top notch and you could tell that they took pride in the food they created. My only real complaint about this hotel is that it is advertised as a non-smoking resort when in fact it is not. The rooms are all [... read more] supposed to be but there were still people smoking on their balconies. The beach and pools areas as well were filled with smokers. I guess I was naive to think that a totally non-smoking resort existed. Other than that everything was excellent.

Royal Suites Punta Mita: Absolutely the best

Without a doubt,one of the best places to vacation. The staff go out of their way to ensure you have everything you need/want. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Dining was fantastic. Enjoyed every meal we ordered. The bartenders made us some fantastic cocktails. But nothing was better than laying around the beautiful pool enjoying fabulous cocktails. Thank you everybody at the Royal Suites Punta Mita.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Twelfth Visit

Great resort but is really in dire need of some updating. We have been coming here since 2003 and it has had no updates done at all. If they want to stay in the loop with all the other new resorts they need serious work done at the hotel. The staff there is amazing, they could not have a better bunch of people working for them, they should be very proud of that. Not sure that we will be going back unless they do something. We have got to know quite a few of the staff over the years and we g [... read more]et super treatment from all of them. We did get to know Ramon, the captain in the Wok & Jap Jap. He went above and beyond the call of duty for us. Our friends Luis, Vincente & Christian are fabulous people that work so hard everyday to make everything right for you. The front desk staff were so helpful when I went to them to get access to their internal internet as I had a emergency at home and I needed to get an email back home. The Wifi there is really bad, cannot get a signal most of the time. Overall had a good 2 weeks there. Overall it is a good place to stay but the rooms are in serious bad shape.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Okay But... Not What We Expected

2 Week Vacation. After reading the reviews we expected something very different than what we encountered. The resort itself is very well maintained, rooms clean, and employees we very friendly and helpful. However, public bathrooms were always filthy and smelly. We found the food was okay in the buffet -- enough variety to please most tastes ( we loved the Mexican food) however the a la carte restaurants - not so much. We tried the Italian as well as the Brazilian, and didn't enjoy eit [... read more]her, so didn't bother with the others. We found the meat was over cooked, as well as portions very small. Mind you we're from Vancouver, and have a plethora or truly amazing ethnic restaurants to choose from, so we may be pickier than most. It was also disappointing that there were no snack bars outside, and you are not permitted to take food outside of the available snack bar, or restaurants. We saw one women try and take her food outside the restaurant who was basically scolded by an employee for doing so. When I am having a drink, I enjoy a snack, such as peanuts, or pretzels. There were none - even in the snack OR sports bar. In addition there is no beach drink service, so while there are beach bars - up the stairs from the beach, no one comes down to the beach to serve you - unlike most other resorts we have been to. - The safe is an additional $40. - The wifi is sporadic, and works only in the Sports Bar and the Flamingo Lobby. - No refrigerator in room, so the one bottle of water you get each day - stays warm. I enjoyed seeing the iguanas, who roamed freely about. Would I go again? No. Even as a 3 star, I expected more - and compared to other 3 stars it didn't come close, in my opinion.

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Great resort ! Great staff ! Excellent food !
