Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: My Warm Home Away from Home

The RDC is my go to vacation destination. the staff, and I mean all the staff from the ground up are all friendly and amazing! No complaints at all from me. Amazing place to go. Once you go you will go back time and time again

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Great hotel!

My family and my kids very much enjoyed this hotel! It is very geared towards families and there is plenty to do. The nightly shows aren't the greatest but you can tell they work very hard and it was enjoyable. The adult infinite pool is amazing as well. We would go back!

Costa Club Punta Arena: An okay resort.

The resort was okay. Location was best thing about it. Beach had too many rocks and the bars and restaurants had bad hours, even worse they never opened on time. Some staff were very rude. The maintenance guy was the best. So polite and made a point to talk to us everyday. The shower head leaked loudly the whole week. Someone came to fix it but gave up and never came back. Snack bar had incredible food.

Riu Vallarta: Great time at Riu Vallarta!

This hotel has it all. Every amenity we needed it had. The room was clean and spacious. The food was great with so much variety. The location has a fantastic beach. The staff is soooo good!! They run everywhere with a smile on their face and a helpful had for anything we needed. While the hotel isn't close to downtown PV, its still within walking distance of Bucerias and a whole different venue. I have been here before and would recommend it to anyone. Its got good bang for the buck.

Canto Del Sol: Great food and beach

Great hotel, stayed Dec 31 to jan 7. good location, approx half way between airport and Malecon. Rooms were ok, clean but a little shabby, comfy beds and pillows. Smallish resort made it easy to access restaurants and pools.

Secrets Vallarta Bay: Great Trip

This was our second stay at Secrets Puerto Vallarta and it was great again. The staff here really go out of their way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The food is excellent and the premium liquor doesn't hurt either. The close proximity to town and the airport is a bonus, we love going into PV for a dinner or lunch, it's a such a fun town. New Year's Eve was a night to remember with a great band, excellent food and fireworks like I have never seen before. Loved it.

Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa: Great Resort

Resort was amazing, food was great...beach very rocky. *Jorge at bar was amazing. *Cynthia and Daniel at Preferred Club were amazing. Not sure the Preferred is worth it as our friends were staying in the main building and they got everything we did....first night we ordered a bottle of wine for our room, they charged us for it. My friend got a bottle of wine in her fridge.

Velas Vallarta Suite Resort: Awesome Time

The rooms were clean and decent size, fridge was stocked everyday with beer, water and soft drinks. Snacks were also stocked everyday. Grounds were beautiful, pool was large and heated which was nice. Food was good in all the restaurants. Staff were all friendly and went out of there way to help however they could.

Canto Del Sol: Amazon resort

I really enjoyed my vacation at Canto del Sol hotel. It was my second time at this hotel and I will return 😀The New Year Fiesta was amazing !!! Everything was very well organized, the staff was very friendly, the food was very good, the show...everything.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: awesome resort!

This resort was amazing. The grounds were very beautiful and maintained pristinely. ALL the washrooms in the resort were cleaned continuously and were never in a mess. Never out of paper and toilets always flushed, even the beach bathroom was kept well. Always loungers at the pool and beach. No saving of loungers at pool allowed before 9:00 am and security actually removes items unattended. Staff were very friendly and helpful with anything we needed. Our room was cleaned at least 3 times a day [... read more] so never out of clean towels and minibar always stocked. The only down thing was the time share promoters. 2 in our party of 6 felt that they were harassed by the timeshare workers and finally went to the front desk to get them to stop calling them.

Sunscape Puerto Vallarta: Sunscape week

The hotel is older but well taken care of. The service is outstanding. It's so nice not to have to book for the a la carte dining rooms. Nice shopping mall in the building. The weather was just what we ordered!

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Great resort!

Had superior room....it was big but stark. It was near the a la carte restaurant that also served brekky and lunch. Location of the room was great....yes some stairs to climb up but much needed "exercise" after all the food! I personally LOVED the food....Mexican food at every meal, no shortage of guack! The buffet also had loads of options at every meal. The staff was amazing. Super friendly and they seemed to actually like their job! Pool looked nice but I'm an ocean gal so spent all my [... read more] time there. Good amount of beach chairs. Fantastic ocean....not too deep and watching the Pelicans was fun! AND all the stuff you could buy on the beach (donuts on heads)! Overall, the resort was fantastic. I'd book this again in a heartbeat!!!

Secrets Vallarta Bay: Staff as Warm as the Sunny Weather!

This was my first trip to Mexico and having an all inclusive resort experience. Normally, I travel a la carte and do research on what restaurants and sights I want to see...but after working really long hours I just wanted to have a vacation over Christmas where my partner and I could just relax and not have to plan anything. Secrets at PV met our expectations and we really enjoyed ourselves! The highlight of the resort was the staff. Even when things weren't perfect (because life isn't perfe [... read more]ct), the staff clearly cared about doing their best and really worked hard. Christian at the pool really treated us like family and kept checking in on us and kept our drinks replenished quickly. The front desk and concierge were friendly and efficient. The lounge drink servers in the lobby area were incredibly friendly and gracious even though some of the guests were not. I'll write separate posts about the restaurants, but in every case, I was impressed with how each staff member seemed to care and work hard to meet guests' needs. Another highlight for us was the view and relaxing experience in the lobby bar. We would relax there for hours, people watching, reading, enjoying the drink service and fantastically talented musical entertainment (piano during the day, singers in the evening). The pool options were great. The swim up bar pool was in one corner so the loud people were in the one area. The snack bar and other bar area were in another area. The space was clean and there were many servers to keep you "hydrated". All the rooms seem to have a water and pool view. Our room was kept very clean. I can attest to what some others have said about a "cleaning fluid" type of a smell in the rooms, but I attribute it to the high humidity and challenges of being in a tropical environment. The room doors can lock in an open position and we just opened those and the balcony doors and let the air flow through for 5 min and the smell went away. I'm not sure about comments I read before going that concerned me now that I have experienced Secrets...the Secrets side is very much "kid free". Yes, it is connected to the Now side which is a family resort, but I only once saw a minor on the Secrets side and clearly he seemed to be granted special permission (he was wearing a clip on security type tag on his shirt). The only loud and screaming people I experienced were adults, and fortunately this was not a common experience. Some also mentioned the resort was loud at night. With the balcony doors closed, (we were on the 6th floor) we did not experience any noise problems after 11pm...so again, this was not our experience. We slept well and felt very relaxed and rested. Best restaurant by far is Bordeaux. It is on the Secrets side, so if you are travelling with kids, you won't get to try it :-( Gentlemen, bring pants and a collared shirt as most of the a la carte restaurants have a dress code. The service is incredible, all the servers were great, Alfonso really treated us with special care. The other server we had (name escapes me, but his wife is soon giving birth) was incredibly gracious and despite thinking about his wife giving birth imminently, was very focussed and made our experience great! Have the mussels, rack of lamb and definitely have the soufflé for dessert!!! At the buffet, the best thing at lunch and dinner is the grill items. The salmon, steak and prawns they do to order and trust me, you will enjoy them!! Once again, the staff are incredible! You cannot beat the view at Oceania (Secrets side) for dinner. The main courses are less tasty than the appies and salads, but the sound of the waves make it special. The Japanese restaurant was our least favourite (Himatsu). The staff worked incredibly hard (they were slammed busy), but the food was pretty mediocre. The sashimi was the best item, everything else was poor or average. All in all, there is something for everyone and you will enjoy it! We would recommend this resort and would certainly return!

Hilton Vallarta Riviera Resort: Four Seasons Hotel & Resort has a little sister - her name is the GRAND FIESTA AMERICANA!

Move over Four Seasons and make way for your little sister, the Grand Fiesta Americana in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. This "all-inclusive" resort hotel holds all the trappings of the finest hotels found anywhere on the globe and in order to obtain a 5, 6 or 7 star luxurious vacation, you never need spend the untold dollars every again. On the contrary, The Grand Fiesta Americana provides nothing short of a first class facility, food & beverage offering, entertainment worthy of a Cirqu [... read more]e Du Soleil show and hospitality that pampers you until you go utterly crazy from the "love", all without busting the bank - a dream vacation come true . This stone, marble and soft wood master-piece of architecture is only matched by the staff's sincere & genuine catering to one's every want and desire! Nothing seemed to stop management and staff from raising the bar to ensure that our vacation was by far, the best in my entire life - for a 55 year old, hard working executive, this truly was the very best. There is only one way to top this experience - return for another round. That's exactly what I am going to do because The Grand is now my home away from home. Just like the small little sign that was left on the pillow when I arrived, "welcome home" it read. "Welcome Home"!

Hilton Vallarta Riviera Resort: Good resort, amazing sunsets

Overall, the resort was really clean, food was great, the music by the main pool was never different, it was have been nice to hear different music. Drinks were great. All staff were very friendly, the spa was very nice.

Grand Marival Emotions Resort and Suites: Fabulous Week at the Marival thanks to Jenn

The hotel staff, the hotel rooms and grounds were clean and very well maintained. The food options were great and well labelled - especially since I am a celiac and lactose intolerant. The beach is very well taken care of and I will be returning to the Marival. Thank you to Jenn for going above and beyond and helping me get the vacation I desperately needed.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Playa Mita Perfecto

This was a perfect resort. We enjoyed every minute of time spent here. The pools were clean and wonderful. The Iberostar friends and two of the chefs made the difference for us. I will never forget the fun times we had with the Animacion friends, particularly with the dancing instruction. I will remember Mario,Marco, Aly,Nancy,Edwardo.Alex and Ruby for the rest of my life. The kids club also provides an excellent outlet and safe environment for all ages of children. Sonia and Yomara keep the  [... read more]children busy. The two chefs that helped me with a dietary issue were Aldo and Yasmine. I was sorry to leave and afterward missed everyone at the resort greatly. Sincerely, R.R.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Wonderful family Christmas Vacation

This hotel is very large and older. The hotel and the standard rooms are well kept and comfortable. We were in building one, which is right on the beach. The main dining room is very well maintained with a relatively varied menu. The bar at the beach was wonderful. And the disco and the patio outside were great...where we could get drinks until 3 a.m. Had a great time. Will gladly go back again.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Good time!

Nice hotel with good food. Hotel is a little older but the staff are wonderful. More suited for young families and 60 plus as the adult pool (quiet pool) is geared specifically for the older generation. If your between the ages of 30-50 and are not travelling with children, you may not find many people in your age group here. Also, be aware that the walls are paper thin if you are a light sleeper. We maybe got 3 -5 nights of fluid uninterrupted sleep in our 15 night stay. As this is not an uncom [... read more]mon problem in resorts, this resort was especially bad compared to others we've been to in Mexico.

Canto Del Sol: Time well spend

Recent trip to Puerto Vallarta booked by Fred, in Canto Del Sol hotel / resort, smaller resort with great staff, very friendly good facilities, tennis players paradise, very clean hotel, staff will go above and beyond to make You happy, beach is a bit rocky at the water edge, overall would highly recommend, location is great short cab / bus ride to old town. The only negative that we have about the resort is the poor beach volleyball court because is so close to the water it is often washed awa [... read more]y so it is very uneven (slanted) we like to play a lot on holidays so this is important for us, luckily next resort had a great volleyball court so we ended up playing there most of the time so as long as their patrons were playing we were fine
