Riu Vallarta: Amazing Resort

The resort was one of the best we've ever stayed at. The food was fantastic and continuously being served at the poolside, the ocean view side and even in the main lounge. There was such a variety of food and the food was tasty and the presentation was beautiful. The grounds were impeccable and clean. They had something going on every evening in the courtyard eg. jazz band, modern music band another night, drinks set up every evening in the courtyard and this was before the show started. Th [... read more]e cleanliness of the building, the rooms, washrooms were excellent. The beach was fantastic, clean and lots of beach beds available as was at the poolside. The pool was very clean. The employees bent over backward to make you happy and comfortable. Nothing was too much for them to do for you. I would definitely go to another Riu Hotel in any country if they're all like this one.

Marival Emotions Resort and Suites Riviera Nayarit: Awesome!

We arrived at the Marival as a family of 12! There were 8 adults, four children, the oldest 6, and youngest 3 months! Check in was quick BUT the biggest turn-off was being directed to another Employee to get your wrist bands and the time share/condo speel began..we had to be rude and demand wrist bands!! Not a good start! Finally got to our room.....no elevator. Not handy for young families as stroller had to be carried up and down many times a day. Fifficult for the elderly as well. Rooms  [... read more]are small but adequate; towels weary! Nice balcony and yes, air conditioning. The food and the staff are what makes this place amazing! Buffet is awesome and the a la carts, fabulous! There are many pools, quiet ones and family ones and a spectacular kids castle with slides etc. The ocean beach is unending and provides the perfect setting for boogie-boarding, sunset walks or sand castle and moat building. There are plenty of chairs of all sorts, towels, snack food joints, entertainers, and helpful staff throughout! We are all planning to return next year!

Vamar Vallarta: Nice Resort

Nice resort. Room was a good size with great balcony view of the pools and marina. The room was well maintained and clean with nice quality bedding and perhaps the softest bed I have had in Mexico. The nice aspect was having both a quiet marina area and beach area with two pool and two restaurants. Buffets were good with better than usual quality meats. Only real draw back is that selections available at the two a la carte restuarants are not very appealing.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: The Decameron is only 3.5 ***

Dec 3-10 2016 This Hotel was VERY disappointing. There were NO fridges in any of the rooms (the couple we flew with needed to have Medication in a fridge, but nothing was done). So the one bottle of water you got was room temp. There were too many WASPS buzzing around everywhere. I'm allergic. NO service while you are at the pool or beach for drinks. You had to find a bar and stand in line every time you wanted a drink, usually only one bartender. No tissue's anywhere, No alcohol in your rooms, [... read more] no lotions, no King beds, only doubles, no wifi or internet available in your rooms, only in lobby and we had to reboot 3 times in 30 minutes...It was hard for my hubby to get any work done at all..We usually buy a package for him and all is good. The lounge chairs were old plastic ones with no cushions (we had to buy blow ups so we could sit on those chairs for any length of time. We felt they catered to the Mexican families a little too much. Some Evening shows in Spanish only. We have been to a few places like the Palladium and the Grand Sirens on both the Mayan side and P.V. side and they are ranked 4.5 and 5 stars So This one should in no way be ranked that high..It is run down with holes in the curtains and no lights in the rooms also no end tables. No special drinks to speak of, no decent wine, only out of a box even in the restaurants, no little shooter drinks, no pina coladas, no mojitos, no GM, no after dinner drinks. Only one or two people spoke enough english to help us to get to Puerto Vallarta by taxi and where to see some new things. We will never go back to this Complex. Please TripCentral You need to change the Status of this complex on your site. I have trusted your ratings in the past, but this one just doesn't cut it. We are from Alberta, Canada and are between 55 & 60 years old. We hope this will help anyone to decide not to go here.

Riu Vallarta: Great resort

The resort is well kept the grounds are always clean if yiur looking for a older crowd to relax this is the place. FOOD is typical ai food nothing to brag about but you will find something Drinks are cold pop is terrible unless from a bottle

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Great experience!

Nice layout, all areas were easily accessible, reasonably compact. Dining areas were well laid out and convenient. Food was good quality and lots of choice. Staff in dining areas were helpful and friendly. Maids kept rooms nice and clean and were pleasant and friendly. Reception desk staff and bellboys were also very efficient and pleasant. The kids area was a big plus for parents and children. The beach was very nice, but be warned this part of the coast has a lot of surf! The stores in the [... read more] lobby area are nice, and we made good use of the cafe and lobby bar.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Fine, not awesome

This is the second time we have visited GPV, the first being about 5 years ago and this most recent from Nov. 27 - Dec. 4, 2016. We did not stay at the Royal side, although we contemplated it. For us, it's not really worth the extra cost because we don't care about the rooms that much, just the beach. For some, the cost might be worth it. This resort has a lot of kids. We don't have kids, but we stayed at the beach mostly or the adult pool. But, there are kids all over the place in the buf [... read more]fet or restaurant and so many at the main pool. The rooms are entirely adequate for the 4 star rating of this hotel. The beach is good, but note there are some rocks which can cut feet. The water is turbulent, not good for snorkelling and probably not that great if you aren't a decent swimmer. But it is good for body boarding and there is a big surfing contingent at this resort, surf boards are part of the all inclusive. We tried surfing, but found it very scary! We stuck with boogie boards. But, you can surf at this resort. The bars and drinks are good. We were very happy that they use re-usable plastic cups for beach and pool drinks instead of disposable cups. The a la carte restaurants are good, we like the Mexican the best. We like how there are no reservations at the a la carte - you just go when you are ready for dinner and occasionally you will have to wait a little while, but not always. The buffet for us was just OK. At times we found the servers quite dismissive, but not all of them and not all of the time. I think we are pretty low maintenance - we perhaps just caught some servers on a bad day or something. I would note that I got many bug bites - I think they are probably sand flea bites from the beach. If you are prone to bug bites (as I am, my spouse did not get any) I would suggest bringing some repellant and/or after bite treatment. I did not bring either of these things and was very itchy the whole time! Overall this is a good resort for the price we paid. It seems that it would be very good for families as there are many kids and they offer day care as well I think.

Hilton Vallarta Riviera Resort: Great Views, Food and Service!

Pools were awesome and service overall was excellent. Rooms were big and the king bed was very comfortable. Food was great at all the restaurants and the drink were premium. Awesome resort...I would definitely return!

Canto Del Sol: Great value!

We have been to this resort , (and many others all over Mexico), over 20 times. We love puerto Vallarta. This resort is close enough to enjoy the downtown scene, and only ten minutes by cab from the airport. The service is excellent, the food is quite good, rooms are well appointed and clean. The beach area is a bit small, but the pools are nice. For great service by the pool, ask for Jorge. There are many great servers, however here. Feels like a family. We will be back there later in th [... read more]e year!

Crown Paradise Golden: Beware of the Up Grade!

We loved everything about the hotel. When getting an up grade we got 2 Queen beds instead of a king bed. With ocean front view we now had a view of the beach cabana. No view of the sunset at all.Woe is me! To me an upgrade would not take away the view of the beach.That big cabana shown to the left of the hotel was our view.

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Great staff. "Rafi's in the house"

The stay was made exceptional by the staff and entertainment. Nightly we were given a good show and often a laugh. The view of the ocean with mountains in behind made it easy to wake up after a few too many Indio. The pool was interesting enough to float in - which made up for the less than Caribbean beach and water.

Crown Paradise Club: Club Crown Paradise

Excellent resort for families. Great staff, lots to do and see. Relaxed atmosphere and great food. Entertainment nightly if you choose to go. Rooms are basic and somewhat updated but immaculate and the housecleaning staff are very accommodating. One remark is that higher chairs around pool area for people with mobility issues.

Crown Paradise Club: Great family resort

Upon arrival we were greeted warmly and had a quick check in. The staff was wonderful, especially Sabah, Edgar and the rest of the entertainment team! They were fun to be with and my kids instantly warmed to them and were with them constantly playing games and helping with daily duties. The morning buffet servers Carlos, Hector and team were wonderful and always had smiles in their faces. The pools were well maintained and we spent many hours in and around the main pool, kids were between this p [... read more]ool and the awesome kids pool with 9 waterslides. The beach was very clean and water was great to swim in. Further down the beach away from the resort the undertow was quite strong at times and we stayed away but in front of the Club Paradise it was perfect. Overall, we would definitely go back.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Iberostar Punta Mita excellente.....

Everything is absolutely first class; walking distance from the Jr. Suites at the beach to Lobby and Restaurants / Entertmnt. i s rather long for older people like me. Food good, but better at the Japan. & Pacific Restaurants ! Entertainment fair only........

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: good resort

This is a large resort,good opportunity for walking. Rooms are clean and serviced well. Grounds are well manicured. Having dinner and watch sunset is best of all. Transat flight takes 5 hours,one glass of water and a mint is little disappointing. I had a great vacation.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: One of the better 4* all inclusive resorts !

Excellent location if you are planning on staying on the resort or short trips to Sayulita or into Punta de Mita. About an hour by cab and $75 into PV. Resort is well laid out. Short walk to get anywhere and elevators for those that require. Beautiful long almost private beach. Constant bombardment all day long by the small village of vendors camped just beside the resort. Get used to saying "No gracias" all day or take long walks on the beach/play in the waves to avoid. Beach service is good a [... read more]nd small bar/restaurant at one end. Nice big deep pool with good swim up bar. Loved the rooftop lounge area for drinks anytime of day, especially at night. Food at all restaurants was good. Service here was very good from everyone. Grounds are immaculate. People always everywhere cleaning. Big theatre and decent talented people/costumes put on good shows. We love this area of Mexico and will return to this resort.

Friendly Fun Vallarta: Very nice resort

This resort would definitely be on the top of my list to use on my next trip to pv. The best food as far as all inclusive resorts I have ever been to and I have 22 others to compare my opinion on. Just the reg buffet and snack bar took away any reason for me to need the a la cart. The staff are on the ball respectfull pleasent and very helpfull But the only negative I can say about the resort is they are not very smoker friendly, I vape but it's treated just like smoking, so a small area in [... read more] the lawnchair area and out front of the hotel before the reception area and on your balcony. No other public areas so if you were partying by the pool and wanted a dart you had to go out of your way to do that. Again not the end of the world, but not the first resort to go this way and won't be the last. But otherwise definitely a very good expirience.

Villas Vallarta by Canto del Sol: Nice Resort!

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay at Canto Del Sol. We came for 5 days in the end of November. The weather was beautiful, the hotel was very clean and everybody was super nice! Our room was right by the pool, so it was loud and the food wasn't the best. Location was perfect! 10 minute walk from downtown, 20 minute walk from the Marina!

Sunscape Puerto Vallarta: Amazing!

This is our 2nd time to this resort and as expected we had an amazing time. The staff goes over and above, from the concierge (Miguel) to the restaurant manager (Leon) to the front desk staff (Elizabeth and Isaac). There wasn't a staff member there that wasn't immediately available to assist in any way possible. The food was amazing. My favourite restaurant is the Italian restaurant, but the Seaside Grill and the Mexican restaurant were also excellent. The cappuccino at the coffee shop was  [... read more]great first thing in the morning as well as after dinner. We spent 99% of our time at the beach and never had any issues getting chairs. We loved it!

Las Palmas by the Sea: Average Resort.

The resort is well maintained, however, the quality and choice of food has deteriorated since the last time I was there last year. it feels as though the food is recycled from lunch to dinner. as well it is absolutely and totally flavorless. After the second day, I was ready to call it quits with lunch and dinner. breakfast was acceptable. well I call this one my detox holiday... even the a la carte is average.. sad.The beds were extremely hard as well.. came back with a backache:( as well all  [... read more]the nice staff have been fired and the staff leftover are okay..there were a few nice staff: Yolanda, Susanna, Alejandro, Sara, Valente, and of course Oscar the bartender. Thanks to those staff for taking the time to smile and speak to us 'northern Mexicans'.:)
