Royal Suites Punta Mita: Great time !

We have been to quite a few all inclusive resorts but by far the staff at the Royal Suites, and the Grand Palladium in general, were absolutely the best ! Genuinely happy and no request too small. The lobby bar bartender, Luciano, was awesome. The grounds were very well kept, rooms large and clean. All amenities available and water sports equipment in good condition. Again, staff always available and happy to help or provide instructions. Very safe area - even taking the local bus into Bucari [... read more]as we never felt uncomfortable. All tours were excellent and transportation organized and efficient. The only things we felt could be improved or needing to be considered were the noisy carts early in the morning rattling down the ribbed concrete - they started as early as 4:30 - and even with the balcony door closed they could be heard. Also, at some times there was a nasty odour in the air - not sure if it was a septic issue or just stagnant water around. Seemed to be more on the suites side. And, we were very disappointed with the wine. Even the wines on the additional charge menu were very poor selections. Perhaps a good wine sommelier should be consulted. Other than that, we fully enjoyed our time at the Royal Suites Punta de Mita !

Grand Palladium Vallarta: grand palladium Feb 6 /15 2017

The hotel was fantastic . The food, the rooms every thing was as a 5 star hotel should be. The ala carte were fantastic, enjoyed the steak house the most. The only small complaint were the amount of stairs .If your a senior or have any mobility issues then stay else were. I lost count of the times helping people with baby buggies . There are no elevators the resort is about 50 min from Vallarta with little or no buses .

Sheraton Buganvilias Puerto Vallarta Hotel: Great Resort

This resort is in a great location, a short walk to the Malacon. We had a terrace room and although we didn't really have a view of the ocean, it was nice to be able to sit outside. The food was good. The pool area was busy but it was nice to be able to order from the menu at lunch and have it brought to us as we lounged around the pool. I had to get up at 6:30 to secure spots at the pool where we would get maximum sun all day long. It is unfortunate that people reserve their chairs when they do [... read more]n't have any intention of sitting there until later in the day. The beach was a bit of a disappointment as the sand was hard and rocky. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend and return to this resort.

Costa Club Punta Arena: Not without it's flaws - but a great stay none the less!

Costa Club presents an amazing opportunity for discount travellers to indulge in a all inclusive experience while being able to explore the heart of Downtown Vallerta. Pros: Price Location (close to airport, restaurants, beaches, etc) Clean Pools Friendly Staff Cons: Beach (rocky, high tides, etc) Food (lack of variety, kids under 11 are not allowed to eat at their Italian restaurant) No fridge in room Wi-Fi (barely accessible) Shows (most of the nights they only have Karaoke [... read more] - attendance is often less than 5 people) Ongoing construction around pools (noise, etc) Overall, I had a great stay. The location of this hotel gave me the opportunity to explore and make the most of my vacation. This is a 3 star hotel - don't go expecting a 5. The food is edible, the rooms are clean, the beer is cold and for the most part the sun is shinning, I would return. A waking dream of Mexico - until next time!

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

We had not been to Puerto Vallarta before and were looking for an inexpensive but decent all-inclusive. This one fit the bill since we were happy with the meals (excellent 'a la carte' dinners), the rooms were adequate (not palatial), there was a tennis court, exercise room, 3 pools, activities if you were interested (Spanish lessons, kayaking, water exercises, dance lessons, etc.) and very good evening entertainment. The best thing about it was the pleasant staff - no request was too big or t [... read more]oo small and every single staff member you met in the resort would give you a smile and an 'Ola!'. It was in a good location for banks, groceries, small stores, larger shopping mall and the Malecon - all within walking distance but if you aren't up to a good walk, it didn't cost more than 80 MXN for a taxi to the Marina or Malecon. Be prepared to walk as some of the rooms are quite a ways from the front desk (which we liked-quieter and more privacy) The bigger hotel we had access to was beachfront, so it was easy to get to the beach as well. All-round, a good place to be for a relaxing, easy time.

Riu Vallarta: I'm open to try a different Riu Hotel

The Hotel lobby was open and clean. The room where average, nothing special, smelled like mildew in the room. The bed was very uncomfortable, hard, and springs poking through the mattress, and only 3 small lumpy pillows. I went down and talked with staff at the desk the very next morning and inquired about another room. The lady behind the desk was very rude. She said, "what's wrong with you lady, your on the 8th floor!'' I told her that bed was the issue not the 8th floor. Then she said there w [... read more]ere no rooms available. The food was average for an all inclusive, the a la cart were not managed well-the manager said it was first come first serve, so I went and grabbed my friends within 2 minutes and returned back to Sir Georges and he said they were full. He did give me a puck and it lit up about 2 hours later. I wish he would have just gave me a puck right away. The buffet cafés had birds flying in out, at least 80% of the food was covered. I developed irritable bowel syndrome at this hotel, and took another week to recover. There were 2 pools , clean, one was family centered, hard to find a spot unless you woke at 6 am. I found that the bar tenders ignored the women and not the men when ordering drinks. There was plenty of entertainment every day at the pool and just about every night . People were hooting and hollering every night up to 2 a.m. So excellent place to stay if you enjoy the night life.

Riu Vallarta: Beautiful Resort!

Riu Vallarta is a truly unique experience. The hotel is fabulous. Our room was perfect. Lovely view of the pool area, grounds and of course the most amazing sunsets! The staff are all super friendly and very helpful. They offer a variety of entertainment options throughout the day as well as evening shows. The food in the restaurants is really good, again offering great choices between 3 restaurants and a fantastic buffet, not to mention the bar(s) and lounges.

Grand Marival Emotions Resort and Suites: Marival resort

I love this place, but how do you book the same hotel 6 years in a row and get the same shitty view 5 of those years. I realize we are not in the room very long each day, but it would be nice not to have to look at the wall and propane tank sometimes. Also we had two super single beds in the room. We are a couple, we booked as a couple and would like to sleep as a couple. The other couples we booked with had a king size. We have never had one.

Have traveled extensively in Mexico would put it up against the 4 stars any day People working there are great always singing while they are working did not matter if they were cooking or painting they were also doing reno's when we were there and they were singing too.

This is a smaller town so you do need to have pesos not american money also no fridge in the room and no hairdryer but I brought my own hair dryer and they always had fresh bottles of water so we were good I would go back in a minute loved loved loved this place

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Excellent Experience

Hotel and service were amazing and so was the beach. Food was ok but my expectations were low as they are for most all inclusive packages...make a day trip to Bucerias...the beach there is very calm and there a couple restaurants to eat and drink at...try fat daddy's they had awesome lobster tails

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: great resort

good value for your money beautiful grounds friendly staff mostly Canadians guests very good evening entertainment activities staff where a lot of fun .kudos to jimmy and the rest of the group.thanks for a great time.

Riu Flamingos: palace on the sand

Riu Jalisco is a very nice resort. The grounds were beautiful, the rooms were spacious and clean. There were plenty of restaurants and bars. Nice staff! And great activities crew. The hotel lost water pressure for a night, so that sucked not being able to shower or flush the toilets

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Excellent resort!

This resort was quite nice, and set up excellent for families. Perks- -loads of activities for the kids (we have pre teen boys age 12/13) -staff gets everyone involved in fun & games -lots of relaxing for parents. -the spa -the staff, bell boys carried our luggage up three flights of stairs! No matter what you're after there's both here. Surfing, boogie boards, sup boards, volley ball, water games. Or just a lounger and amazing sunshine. Downfalls- -smelly (sewage smell in some a [... read more]reas)o -lots of stairs and hills, so bring chaf cream if you use it (no elevators) Overall we all had a great vacation here!

Riu Flamingos: Great place to stay.!

Likes: The food, lots of variety on the buffets, more than I expected. The al-a-carte restaurants were great, especially the steakhouse. Sport's var open 24 hours and had sandwiches, hotdogs, burgers and fruit. Service was always excellent from all the friendly staff from groundskeeper to front desk. Most of the bar staff made really good mojitos and pina coladas. The entertainment staff tried really hard to engage with as many people as possible. Place was always being cleaned from bathroom [... read more]s to lobby floors. Plenty of chairs on the Beach, good entertainment, better than expected. Rooms were comfortable and came with a fridge stocked with pop and water to use with your 4 bottles of booze in suite. Cans of beer in your fridge too. Dislikes: The coffee was terrible, I mean not good at all. Only survived on double shot American's from the 24 hour sports bar which used regular coffee and not expresso. Crampy toilet paper that was 2 ply but worked like 1 ply. Our room only had a stand up shower that was a nice size but hardly compare to a soaker tub. Maid service was always later in the day, closer to supper time and sometimes that had to come back to give you towels or to restock fridge. Went without first any water and then just cold water for almost 20 hours on the 2nd to last day which meant you couldn't flush the toilet.

Riu Flamingos: Riu Jalisco

The Riu Jalisco is a beautiful resort. The ocean, pools, dining rooms are all within walking distance. The hotel is in the shape of a horseshoe more or less which makes all things central. The grounds are kept spotless and the rooms are spacious. Very clean throughout resort.The food is very good with good variety and the special nights are amazing. The Canadian night was very special and well worth your time. The music on this night was extremely beautiful. The staff are polite and always honor [... read more]ed any request we had.

Krystal Puerto Vallarta: Felt like a vacation!

The hotel grounds were very well kept and looked beautiful. The room was a nice size and we had an ocean viewfrom the 4th floor. The rooms were a good size and we were greeted by a plate of food a bottle of Tequila and two cans of pop. We did end up with two double beds, which were not the most comfortable The room and bathroom could use some repairs but not to the point that it was rundown. Besides we spent our days and part of the evening by the pool or talking to other guests. Over all we ha [... read more]d a very good time and the only thing I would have change is more time there and a place closer to downtown.

Grand Sirenis Matlali Hills: Gorgeous resort

The grounds, public areas, restaurants, pool areas and rooms were always immaculate. Every staff member I came in contact with was friendly, knowledgeable, extremely helpful and accommodating. Obviously their mantra is "please every customer"! There was a comfortable, happy feel wherever I was in the resort and the beach area.

Buenaventura Grand Hotel and Great Moments: great resort and location

On our first day we got roped into a TIME SHARE gig. We should have just said NO in the beginning and gone on with our holiday. After that our holiday began. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms could use some updating but were clean. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. Most days we walked the Malecon into Vallarta, after spending time on the beach or at the pool. Once we discovered the Sunset Restaurant or a la cart, we had dinner there every night overlooking the ocean. The [... read more] food was top notch, with wonderful presentation, great quality and excellent service by all the staff. The supervisor, Jonathan, and his team of workers, waited on us hand and foot. Jonathan would stop at every table and converse with patrons, along with his friendly staff. And he would even jump in to serve if there was a need. We felt like we were having dinner with friends every night. So we will definitely keep the Buenaventura as a great place to stay in Mexico. Charlie and Larry

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Worfthless instructions

We asked for ground floor room numbers 5101 to 5106. We advised that we were taking a wheelchair. At checkin, we repeated the above. They gave us 5108 which as a ground floor room (up on a hill) but required 7 or 8 steps to get there. No elevator. Took two hours and the generousity of strangers to change rooms with us. Either you people are not getting through to them or they just ignore what you send to them. This is our 6th visit to Royal Decameron. Seems it doesn't mean anything to [... read more] them. Otherwise, everything else was ok.

Sheraton Buganvilias Puerto Vallarta Hotel: FANTASTIC

The hotel is very well kept, grounds are beautiful and staff are welcoming and friendly and work very hard for you. The rooms are very nice, bedding is cozy, and the maids do an excellant job. The pools are beautiful and well kept but the beach is not nice... it is on the pacific side and has a strong undertow and very rocky sand.
