Las Palmas by the Sea: Pleasantly suprised

We had seen the outside of this hotel many years before and I wasn't sure how good it would be. Although it is somewhat dated , it was clean and they have tried to keep it up. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was okay and we could always find something that we liked to eat. The security staff were very good at keeping children out of the adult pool only once or twice did a family miss the sign and enter the pool and shortly after the security would come and tell them to  [... read more]go to the activity/children's pool. Nightly entertainment was very good for a smaller hotel For a three star hotel we found it to be quite good.

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta: Great time

It is a great resort, the people were very friendly and the grounds beautiful. We would go there again and highly recommend it. The only complaint is that for a few days there were too many people there, too many kids screaming and people running and screaming in the halls at night.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Very Comfortable Resort

Excellent location.Easy access to the town centre.Grounds were very well kept.Staff were very courteous and helpful.Cusine provided lots of choices and variety Rooms need to be upgraded,have wireless internet and provide a safe without extra charge

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Lovely Resort

Just got back from 1 week stay at Fiesta Americana. The food was pretty good for an all inclusive. We enjoyed the Asian restaurant and the buffets usually had a good variety. The steak was not very good at the Italian restaurant. Lots of fish served, and it was nice to be able to have room service, which was quick and fresh. Didn't seem to be enough lounge chairs and had to get up early if you wanted some in the shade. Easy location for a quick and cheap cab ride to downtown. Room was big [... read more] but didn't get a good view from the room even though I requested one higher up. Staff were very quick to respond when the fridge wasn't working and the dryer blew up and replaced them quickly. Can't swim in the water at the beach as its too rough. Enjoyed the rhythms of the night tour.

Riu Vallarta: Smiling, what a adventure for me

Room was fabulous, sat on the balcony every morning. View of court yard, palm trees and ocean. Sounds of the ocean were heavenly, landscaping and design was incredible. Three places to have my meals, food excellent, Wait staff were very polite and helpful. I have told all my friends and family about this incredible hotel, going down the stair to the court made me feel like a Princess.. Entertainment in the evening was Extraordinary, I took many photos. Danced my feet off and learned many new dan [... read more]ce steps from the staff. Pools were clean and Imagine sitting on a bar stool under water amazing. Best part of all is that I felt safe, for I have been a widow for one year and never travelled. My trip was incredible and I met many new people and made any new friends. I thank you for making a memory that will be with me for a life time.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: A vibrant complex

Lots of activities for all ages led by a group of high energy young people. Rooms were basic but clean and comfortable. Beautiful grounds. Happy to see so many young kids. Enjoyed the a la Cartes as well as the buffets. Evening shows were entertaining. A safe environment.

Canto Del Sol: Keep coming back for a reason ! Thanks canto !

We enjoyed our stay and havingcoming there for 7 years mostly at villas your sister hotel. Staff are friendly , rooms clean , food is ok can't complain. And most of all George who serves us drinks is the best . We meet at least 25 people at your resort for our reunion every year .

Costa Club Punta Arena: Wonderful Resort

This resort was very nice and clean , located halfway between airport and downtown with access to busses and tons of amenities. The Malecon is a 20 min walk and Romantic zone is 45 min walk. The new dining room is beautiful overlooking the pool. The food was very good and in one week had a great variety. My room was big and clean with a nice TV, balcony and air-conditioned and Lourdes my room service lady was amazing along with all the other staff.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Beautiful resort!

Beautiful hotel, gorgeous grounds, landscaping, pool areas. Excellent security.. felt very safe within this gated property. Excellent food, good service, staff always smiling and courteous. Great to see smart lighting in some of the public washrooms as well as recycling/composting facilities. Negatives were there was an annoying noise outside our room due to a loose railing or some other structural problem so had to wear earplugs to sleep every night. "up selling" by hotel staff at sp [... read more]ecialty restaurants; we were shown a list of "all inclusive wines" (approx. 30) on one side of menu and a separate list of "premium wines" at extra cost. Were told only ONE all inclusive wine was available in red or white and were encouraged to choose premium wines instead.. seriously!?? Pool service was generally good but could have been better; often had to wait 30 to 60 minutes for a server to take our drink order. Spa was overpriced. Dined at the international buffet a couple of times on my own as my friend was ill. As a single diner I was not always provided with the same level of service as couples or groups, often being ignored for several long spells. All customers, whether with dining companions or not, should be provided with excellent service. Overall though, very pleased with this resort and would recommend to family, friends and colleagues.

Royal Suites Punta Mita: Best birthday ever!

It was very relaxing, clean and great service. The entertainment was always a nice bonus. I especially love how eco-friendly the resort is. I'm definitely going to tell many other people and recommend to all

Tropicana Hotel: Great hotel, great location, however........

Property, rooms and location are great. The hotel is not geared to children which I found ideal. My only disappointment was after the hotel operator made a telephone call for me and again later for my partner. I suspect that the hotel operator understood the words 'direct call' instead of 'collect call'. The double error cost us $100. The hotel manager later confirmed that the hotel does not make 'collect calls'. Had we gone to the internet cafe to make two 25 minute calls to Visa and Tang [... read more]erine, it would have cost us well under $10. We will return next year and hope to bring our friends.

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel and Mexican Charm: Fun Resort

This is our 2nd time there. It is a small older resort but they are always renovating. The rooms need work but they are always clean and the beds and pillows are comfy. There is only one pool but always lots of room. The night life after dinner shus down around 10:30pm as there are rooms all around the pool bar. You can still drink at the bar but quietly. If you want more partying you can always catch the town bus ( bus stop just up the street ). Or a cab to the malecon where there is always hap [... read more]pening bars. The grounds are well kept with beautiful gardens. The staff are so friendly and helpful if you need anything. The ocean is less than a 5 minute walk or they have a shuttle that will take you. There is always something to eat, the food is good. They have theme nights for dinner. One night is Mexican, one night is seafood and they always have a BBQ night which is amazing. If you don't like theme food, there is always other food you can pick from. You never go hungry. I like this resort because it is so small that you meet so many amazing people that become friends. Caesar is the manager who always has a huge smile and always asking if everything is ok. He is a super man 😃 I can't wait for next year. If you are a picky person I wouldn't recommend this resort for you, but if your laid back and easy going it's friendly and a lot of fun.

Samba Vallarta: Great Resort.

If you are expecting a five star resort, Samba Vallarta is not the place for you. But if you are looking for a very good resort, with friendly and customer oriented staff, Samba is a great choice. The hotel is a bit dated, but it is clean and has most amenities. Samba does not nickle and dime you. There are many complementary accessories available.The beach is amazing. The pool is very good, but some tiles have fallen off. Spent a week there, and would definitely go back.

Velas Vallarta Suite Resort: Loved Staying at Velas Vallarta

We just returned from a 7-day stay at the Velas Vallarta. We have stayed in the PV area many times at different hotels and this is definitely our favorite so far. Located in the Marina Vallarta area, the hotel was within walking distance of the Marina and all of its "many" restaurants, bars and shops. The service was truly amazing - in all areas - full happy, smiling service at the pool and beach as well as the restaurants. We had been upgraded to a king size suite and loved our room. Our ki [... read more]tchen was completely stocked with water, pop, beer, milk in the fridge as well as various breakfast and snack items and coffee/tea. Our room was very clean with a beautiful view of the lovely grounds and pools (seventh floor - Room 2712). The beds were more comfortable than ours at home and the room temperature was perfect for sleeping. We spent most of our time at the pool but enjoyed the beach as well. Our only complaint was about having to get up early to save a pool chair and then watch other chairs that were saved before us sit empty all day (happened a few times). There was a nice swim-up bar at the one pool but we did not use it much as our pool side service (beverages and food) was excellent. There were two ala carte restaurants for supper (one of those also served breakfast/lunch) for which you needed reservations and one all day buffet. The food was tasty in all but we found the buffet did not vary much in their offerings from day to day (unless you ordered from the menu - every night was a different theme). There was a lobby bar where there was various entertainment every night. Sunday night was a Mexican fiesta in a large conference room and we found the food that night was disappointing. The entertainment involving the audience at times was excellent. We caught a bus (7.50 pesos per person) right outside our hotel to go to downtown PV and had a wonderful evening out on the Saturday night.

Royal Suites Punta Mita: Very attentive Staff!

We stayed on the Adult only side of the resort. We loved the lobby bar and Luciano, the bartender. The restaurant there had delicious entrees and you can order things that are not on the menu daily. If you're a wine lover the wines are disappointing. The house wine is (putting it kindly) not drinkable. Good drinks (top shelf brands)at all of the bars though and the pool. Victor the pool waiter was the best! We were never empty handed. Great lunch options at the pool bar. Our room makeup s [... read more]ervice was a little slow on some days but very comfortable overall. Nice bathroom products and hair dryer. Beautiful floral arrangements in the lobby. Bathrooms all over the resort were clean and well stocked. There is a sewage smell in certain places on the resort in the evening.

Villas Vallarta by Canto del Sol: Good value, location and great staff!

We really had a good time at the resort. The location is close to downtown PV, so we were able to walk, bus or taxi and explore. We took some small bus trips to Sayulita and Punta de Mita as well. The food was ok, with some great fish and shrimp tacos, but wasn't amazing. Lots of fresh fruit and veg and fish if you are trying to eat healthily. We liked the size of the resort, not too big, but areas to explore. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were happy, and they were always polit [... read more]e and helpful.

Samba Vallarta: Lovely

At first, when we arrived in the middle of the night and the room was a bit "rustic" and the safe didn't work, I was nervous about how our week would go. But the light of day brought a lovely, smaller resort with nice people, gardens, pool, food, drinks and most of all, beach--right on the "swimmable" ocean! Not a 5 star resort, but very relaxing.

Grand Marival Emotions Resort and Suites: Trouble in Paradise

Trip central was very helpful We missed our flight arrived at the airport 40 minutes before the flight took off due to a 7 car accident on a bridge we had to cross but Transat would not take us. We purchased a one way ticket from another airline for the next morning as we would have to wait three days for Transat and we were going to attend a 65th Birthday had to spend a night in hotel close to airport as we live to far from town to take a chance. As soon as we arrived we were pressured re [... read more]garding time share presentation and finally agreed when they guaranteed it wood only take a hour 3 hours later and we were still saying NO the third person we had to talk to said that we were wasting everyone's time The resort was quite nice but it was very prominent that you received better everything if you were a member. Housekeeping was sub-standard for us but the other people we met there (members) said theirs was good. Staff was very friendly no matter what wrist band you wore

Riu Palace Pacifico: Nice grounds, good food, generally great service, rest ok-ish...

Grand but tired hotel. Food good. Junior suite had 2 beds pushed together. Beds comfortable, room tired. Pool pretty, beach very good, only one bar for all so under services pool and beach ~ impacts rating. One bathroom for restaurants, pool and beach ~ impacts rating. 30 min walk to edge of Bucerias, 25 min by taxi or hour by bus (2 stops) to Nuevo Vallarta.

Crown Paradise Club: Nice Family Reaort

We had a nice stay at the Crown Paradise Club from February 17th to February 24th, 2017. The rooms are slightly dated but they were clean. The food was good but it was never very warm. The three a la cartes were delicious. You had to book your a la cartes restaurants from the phone in your room and could only book them the day of or the next day. Reservations were only booked each day from 8am to 2pm. The hotel was a ten minutes drive from the airport, which was nice. There were two pools and on [... read more]e kid's play area (a pirate ship). We spent our time in one of the pools that was fairly shallow. It was filled with kids! Perfect if you have young ones.
