Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Amazing for the price

When we arrived we thought maybe we had made a mistake. Building er were originally put in was a block from beach. First day changed rooms. By the end of vacation we rated it up there with some of the places previously stayed at near csncun. Great for kids. No undertow. Water was warm. Coral island had great visibility and variety of fish.

Dreams Bahia Mita Surf and Spa: Ok

Hotel has construction happening next to the hotel. Lots of noise during the day and at night too. Buffet is ok. Lots of language barrier with waiters and staff. Limited restaurants and only cafes and most close at 5 till dinner.

Secrets Bahia Mita Surf and Spa: Great resort

Secrets Bahia Mita, PV, is a beautiful place to stay. The staff, pools and restaurants met all of our expectations-friendly, helpful, clean and the food was very good if you went to the adults only sit down restaurants. We particularly enjoyed the food and staff at The Blue Water restaurant-beef dishes were outstanding and beautifully presented. It’s close to the beach too and if you’re lucky, you can see it before the sun sets. Not the best place if you have walking issues-beach, large pools an [... read more]d most restaurants are about a 10 minute walk door to door. We would NOT recommend the preferred club upgrade unless you feel you need top of the line alcohol and a more private bar area. Coors light is available and house wines were pretty good! Watch out for the very charming, friendly greeters at the checkin desk and around resort-they try to talk you into a 90 minute presentation re: vacation club advantages. Overall, we’re glad we stayed at this hotel!

Riu Flamingos: Perfect week

The service was great. Resort clean and well staffed. Ocean swimming was a blast. The weather report was saying rain the whole time but it was fabulous and a good mix of sun and cloud. It rained briefly overnight but days were amazing! Lots of shade and umbrellas for rent in the beach!

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: Good time!

This was our 5th time at this hotel. The check in process was very smooth. The rooms are always kept clean although there were a couple of days when the cleaning staff were very late to clean our room. The restaurants are very good, from the buffet to all the a la cartes. The french was our favourite. There are always lots of choices at the buffet especially at breakfast and lunch. A special shout out to Alejandro for always greeting us with a smile and making great custom eggs and omelet [... read more]tes. There is construction of a new resort on the south side of the hotel so noise may be an issue going forward. The staff are always very helpful and with a smile. Our main complaint is, again, the shortage of umbrellas and loungers on the beach. It was a problem every day. Overall, we had a lovely time and would return.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Location, location, location

The exterior of the hotel was exceptional, right from the lobby, pools, snack, shacks, and adults only swimming pool. Upon arrival, there is a breathtaking view from the balcony that allows you to see the ocean. I was most impressed with the bistro that served a variety of specialty coffees and sandwiches. One of the snack shacks offered a more western cuisine, such as french fries and hotdog. While the other one offered a Mexican flair which included fish tacos, and nachos. The grounds were wel [... read more]l kept, and everyone was extremely pleasant. I really enjoy the daily activities that were offered which included yoga/stretch, stretching, a guided beach, walk, aqua size, and guided bike tours. Uncertain occasions, there were activities to keep you entertained such as Bingo, Easter shows, fire dance shows, and circus entertainment. Depending on which type of rooms you got, it could be absolutely fabulous or one that you would consider changing. I did not realize it, but the room I had was not in the best shape. It was dated and needed a lot of upkeep. The shower was turned in a way that left pools of water in the bathroom, so kept the room fairly damp and humid. The air-conditioning worked great and it was quite comfortable. The Wi-Fi worked very well in around the area and especially great near the lobby. The à la carte restaurants did a fabulous job at providing food that was different from the buffet.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Satisfied!

Hotel stay was great!Room was clean and staff was excellent. Great location and maintenance was immaculate. There was always something to eat and we enjoyed all of it. Many pools to choose from. Beach had lots of waves but enjoyed the water. Staff were friendly and helpful!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Very poor at best

The hotel was very run down... - I had one warm/hot shower in 7 days , taps dripping, and no hot water in the sinks. toilets did not flush - the food quality was very poor - lots of choices but everything ( sauces) were watered down lacked in flavor compared to other resorts in Mexico and general overall quality of food was very poor - the bar's had NO fresh fruit, limes, lemons etc. - everything was high sugar content and really just bad. No fresh bananas or strawberries or access for dri [... read more]nks or smoothies etc. the due to the fact that the locals took up over 85% of the hotel , we will NEVER go back....... we were treated poorly...... I have never stayed in a Hotel that was like going to a mexican convention......

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Amazing vacation

My stay at your resort was wonderful… the grounds were beautiful, the beach and ocean are what I will miss the most … my grandsons wedding was beautifully handled by your staff… the food at your buffet was excellent and the staff friendly and attentive.. the restaurants were all very good except I was disappointed in the food at the French restaurant… not at all what I expected … the Japanese was superb with very talented chefs .. The rooms were a bit dated but very comfortable and the cleaning [... read more] was excellent … the bathrooms need some work … our stopper would either get stuck down or not go down at all making bathing difficult … and our safe didn’t work at all Overall though again I had an incredible vacation and would certainly stay at your resort again..

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Beautiful resort with a beautiful beach (if you can find a chair)

Sadly, our trip was not the best. From the time of arrival it was disappointing. I had called in previously to ensure we would be able to have a smooth early check in (as we checked out at 2am on our last day there) and I was ensured that we would be able to get our wristbands early without a fee - this was a lie. We had to pay to have them before 12pm. Next issue is that there are not enough amenities for the amount of rooms. Getting a reservation to the a la cart restaurants is nearly impos [... read more]sible. The concierge could care less about being helpful with it and just tell you to keep trying the app. (7 days and couldn’t get a single reservation even though we logged in right when we were told to each and every day) If you have any food intolerance, this will not be the place to go as no one has knowledge of what ingredients are in buffet items. The housekeeping staff were amazing, the bar tenders were a blast, the beach is gorgeous (but finding a chair is also impossible), and the room was comfortable - but unless you plan on living on alcohol your whole trip, I’d suggest you find something with a better food rating.

Tropicana Hotel: I will visit again!

Best location, old school vibes, comfortable, right on Pacific ocean, could not be a better combo than this. Big spacious rooms, working AC & TV, delicious breakfast, courteous staff. I loved it. Thank you so much for making my vacation memorable.

Marival Emotions Resort and Suites Riviera Nayarit: Nice resort

We recently stayed at this resort and had an amazing time. It’s definitely on the smaller side compared to some larger all-inclusives, but honestly, that ended up being one of the things we loved most about it. It’s big enough to keep you busy, but small enough that you can walk from one end to the other easily — especially great when you have kids. The pools were a major highlight. There’s a lively party pool if you’re in the mood for some fun, a quieter family pool, a small kids’ pool, and ev [... read more]en an adults-only pool if you want a little peace and quiet. The water slides were perfect for younger kids, especially in the 5–8-year-old range — ours couldn’t get enough! The beach was absolutely beautiful — huge, clean, and perfect for long walks. You could walk for miles along the shoreline, and the beach area never felt crowded. Food was another strong point. We loved how easy it was to just show up at any restaurant without needing a reservation (except for the Italian restaurant). Plus, you can eat at your favorite spots as many times as you want, which we really appreciated. One major highlight was the MaiTai restaurant. Since we booked a suite, we received a coupon to dine there, and it was absolutely amazing — easily the best meal of our trip. Honestly, even if we hadn’t had the coupon, I would have happily paid out of pocket to eat there. It was that good! The rooms were nothing fancy — pretty classic resort style — but they were clean and comfortable. The grounds were beautifully maintained. There were a few downsides to mention. The kids club park wasn’t the best — a bit underwhelming compared to others we’ve experienced. The buffet was also on the smaller side with limited variety, so we found ourselves preferring the restaurants most nights. The resort does offer day passes for locals, so it can get very busy at times, especially around the pools. If you want a chair by the pool, you’ll need to be up early — by 8 or 9 a.m., most spots are already reserved. Lastly, for beer drinkers, one frustrating thing was the limit of four beers per day in the room. If you wanted more, you had to pay extra, which was a little disappointing for an all-inclusive. Overall, though, we had a fantastic trip. The size of the resort, the pools, the beach, the dining options, and the amazing experience at MaiTai made it a really memorable family vacation. We would definitely come back but I would not recommend this resort if you aren’t going on vacation with your kids.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Resort

The resort was clean (rooms) and most areas. Washrooms were a little small size wise. Pools were good perhaps another adult pool or area where some light music playing in the background. Iguanas were a little much. Didn't like the fact that they were in dining areas. Dining: food was ok, nothing to write home about, but always cold unless you asked them to put it on the grill again.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Grand Decameron Bucerias

Lovely hotel, located in pretty town of Bucerias. Hotel is decided into 6 bocks of rooms. Each block is set up to have everything you need in walking distance, with the exception of block 5&6. They are across a service road so you have to walk a bit to get to the ocean. We stayed in block 4, ground floor and it was perfect for us. You can walk for ever on the beach. There are vendors but a kind no thank you will do. Had a massage on the resort, $650 peso for 60 min near beach which I recommend d [... read more]oing. Beach is lovely, pools all over the resort. Food and service was good. Staff are very nice. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Free use of Bicycles and kayaks and paddle boards.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Krystal Grand Neuvo

We had some things we thought were highlights of this resort. 1. The Skylounge was amazing views 2. The adult infinity pool was so awesome , and the fact they didn’t allow kids( some resorts do even in the adult pool) was amazing and it had a swim up bar 3 the Grill restaurant and the Asian restaurants were both fantastic with incredible service !!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: STAY AWAY

This is not a resort it's an old hotel. The food is so horrible you will have to go find food off resort. Cold, bland, no selection. Service in the buffets is horrible. Block 2 has a smoking section in front of it, great view of ocean but rooms are so old they are bad. Showers look disgusting, furniture handles fell off. And the noise from the pool area and night entertainment. And on the door side is street delivery trucks, cars thinking, dogs barking and music from the theatre till 1030pm.  [... read more]Block 3 is blocked by Block 1 but you will hear the theatre and the street and the pool noiseand shouting from microphone. The drinks unless u drink beer I never once had a buzz even after 10 mango margaritas..I don't drink tequila and if at home wowzer I'd be knocked out...but never did I once feel a buzz...so drink away those water drinks. No wifi unless you sit in lobby or lobby in block 4 Line up for a la carte every morning at 7am as the app doesn't work fir many people...good luck getting one at all. Entertainment was karaoke Mariachi band Trivia Unless you head to the theatre to see shows which were ok. Pools are clean and nice temp Beach was nice you can walk to Bucerias it's not far Prices in Bucerias are Gringo prices compared to other parts of mexico. Grocery store is expensive same prices as Canada..no savings Gotta get up at 6am to get a chair in the shade..good luck Get the InDrive app it's cheaper to book a ride with them Bucerias-PV cab is 550peso Indrive 250peso If you head to a restuarant or bar like jax the martini is $14 cad Went to a nice Italian restuarant on the water meal was $100 cad and that was with no drinks. Paco taco you can get a meal there for $10 The street bus on highway to sayulita was 30 peso each Avoid this resort save your cash and visit PV...you won't need cab and more nicer hotels.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Good Resort

We had a few hiccups with the rooms. Our party had requested rooms side by side but put in different buildings. Our initial room had an leak and ordor and house keeping didn't come around. We got moved to an jr suite and from there had no complaints. We were able to enjoy the rest of our stay. The food was pretty good. We were able to book a la carte but only late night slots..most of the earlier slots were for the Ultra guest. We spent our time between the pool and the beach. The resort had [... read more] various events throughout our stay. Overall the staff were friendly and helpful.

Villas Vallarta by Canto del Sol: 5th time....last time!!

I've always liked this resort as it was a smaller more quaint resort which use to cater to the 50+ demographic with most vacationers coming from Canada and the colder/northern states of the USA. Not anymore. I'd estimate that 10% of the guests at the resort fell into that category with the other 90% being locals on Family vacations and getaways. If you like unorganized lineups for everything then this is the place for you. Line ups to check in and out. Line ups to book a la carte specialty resta [... read more]urants. Line ups at the buffet after you've lined up to get into the only dining area. Line ups at the bars which only one of 3 opened at 10am (the other 2 at noon) and one bar stayed open til midnight and the other 2 closed at 10pm. Minimal nightly entertainment and virtually all in Spanish. If you are an early riser don't plan on getting a coffee until 6:30am when you can get it out of 2 urns stationed at the pool bar and entrance to the restaurant. There are no coffee makers in the rooms nor is there a fridge. There is not one page of literature in the room to advise you of contact numbers, activity times, itinerary, TV channels etc. NOTHING!! The only really good things I can say about this resort is that the food is quite good, the place is impeccably clean and the housekeeping was very good. It is also only a 30 min walk to the Malecon. This will definitely be my last time here and I would never recommend it to anyone without warning.

Fiesta Americana Riviera Nayarit: Great resort but quiet

Resort is great but not much entertainment during the day for example not much volleyball during the day on the beach . Food is great and not much space to sit and watch night entertainment. and excursions are a little bit overcharged in my opinion

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Beautiful Resort

This was our second stay at this resort. The grounds are beautiful, well maintained and clean. We spent the majority of our time at the adults only pool which is an infinity pool with an incredible view of the ocean. The main pool has all types of fun things for kids to splash around in, as well there is a handy snack bar and pool bar. The food is one of the reasons we made a return visit. The buffet has a huge variety and each of the al a cartes are fantastic. They have a kids program in the [... read more] mornings, kids entertainment at 8pm, family friendly entertainment and more later in the evening for the night owl party crowd. If you choose this resort, I highly recommend a relaxing massage at the spa.
