Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa: Fanatstic Resort!

My 80 year old mother and I had the opportunity to spend a week at the Now Amber resort recently. It was nothing short of amazing in every respect. The rooms, the food, the service, was high quality. If you looking for a place to have an awesome holiday, I would highly recommend!

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel and Mexican Charm: small hotel with a big heart

As soon as we came to the hotel, we were made aware of an important problem which the reception team promptly and efficiently solved for us. This was just an example of what was going to be the next ten days at this hotel. Exceptional service at all levels.

Canto Del Sol: Great memories!

Checking in: Check-in was very fast. The woman at the front desk was very nice. Initially they provided us with a room that didn't have any of the requests that I made - higher floor, king bed and balcony. However, as soon as we came back to the front desk, she quickly resolved it (even though those are requests subject to availability). I enjoyed the customer service that she provided me with. I was impressed with her, as usually they don't want to change your room or they make you wait a few  [... read more]days. Pool/Beach: Pool was great! In fact there was 2 of them - one for adults (never really made it there) and the general pool with a pool bar and a snack bar near by. I have never been to a resort with so many lounge chairs available!!! There was so many that it was hard to choose where to sit. That being said, the hotel in my opinion was pretty full. They had plenty of umbrellas available or would bring you one upon request. The beach is small, but very close to the resort and pool. I went into the ocean several times, but it was a bit rocky (small rocks that you can walk on). It's not like a Cuban beach, but that is expected in that part of Mexico. So you will get what you expect. Food/Buffets/Beverages: The a-la-carte restaurants had a very good ambiance - the surf and turf is basically right by the beach - book during sunset and you will have the most romantic meal of your life. The Italian was so-so, although the short rib was not bad. The Mexican was my favorite in terms of food and how nice the staff was - it's apparently the least busy one. When you go - make sure you order the Mexican coffee - it's a show! The buffet was small. However, it always had something new every day - they themed the nights, in order to make it less repetitive. For breakfast they had a lot of different types of fruit, made to order eggs/omelettes and a bunch of other things. For lunch I went a few times and there was a good selection, but most days I opted out for the snack bar. At the snack bar (open till midnight) they had delicious fries (tried not to eat too many of those, but they were sooo good!), they had shrimp/fish tacos and some "North American" food such as hot dogs/hamburgers. Great service and delicious. For dinner the nights were themed - so depending on the theme you can book your reservations, or even better yet - go into town for a nice meal at least once! It's a $6 cab ride and they have amazing restaurants in town.(La Palapa was amazing although pricey) The bars were amazing! I spent most of the time at the pool bar (opened the latest and earliest). They had a good variety of international and domestic drinks. I drink vodka or rum and they had plenty of variety that I like. The tequila from what I'm told was also good. The bartenders and especially Jose are all great. The one thing that is a bit disappointing for me is that the bar closed at midnight. (you can still order drinks via room service, however I believe it's only 1 per night) In hindsight the bar closing early might have been a blessing in disguise! Rooms: The bed was a bit on the harder side, but very comfortable. The room had a nice plasma TV although we didn't turn it on and we had a little kitchenette. The room is a bit dated however. I would say that would be one of the areas that they could improve. I would say that the room was a 3 star, maybe even 2.5. Overall: This was a perfect vacation! I really loved the people that I met at the resort - both staff and guests. If you visit, you will have a great time! And please do go into town! What we enjoyed doing a couple of times was to walk along the beach (45 min? although please don't quote me on that as it's easy to loose time when the walk is so beautiful). I would recommend this resort to my friends.

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Great Service - Great Food

We stayed at the Fiesta Americana from April 1 to April 8. The resort was well kept and everyone was so nice. We dined at the Italian and Asian restaurants a couple of times during the week and the food was always above average. Our room was large and every room had a view of the ocean. Will go back.

Las Palmas by the Sea: fabulous vacation

We were there for 2 weeks just home great time staff amazing. grounds. pool. All staff amazing we will definitely go backmy many thanks to all staff for making our stay so great desk staff so helpful..bartenders maids all great my husband & I will be back for sure hats off to all bartenders!!

Riu Flamingos: Amazing tome

The hotel was clean rooms were great the food the staff the pool area and the overall area was beautiful ,the night life was also good there was lots of things for kids to do and the spa was great and the ocean was fun boogie boarding

Riu Vallarta: Wonderful Place

Considering that the resort had not been upgraded for over 10 years, it is a very nice and clean place to go. Staff is wonderful, food is great and hotel overall is very clean and well kept. Big resort but it doesn't feel big. Not so good for single people. Very family oriented. The negative is that there are not enough chairs by the pool side or beach to accommodate all of the guests. Even thought there was a kid's pools, children did come into the other pool which was a bit bothersome sometime [... read more]s.

Grand Marival Emotions Resort and Suites: Excellent resort

The environment is marvelous. And the distribution of the installation are very friendly. Also the people who work there, from all the positions, are very amiable. In conclusion it is a very relaxing experience.

Delfin Beach Resort Puerto Vallarta: San Marino

Hotel was kept very clean found it dated but good value for this part of Mexico. Location was excellent right on the beach and close to shops restaurants etc. We found we were not eating at the hotel in the evenings ate at the local restaurants.

Crown Paradise Club: Nice family resort.

Overall, a nice resort. Hotel room was clean, service was average-good—it varied from day-to-day, buffet was good, nice large beach area. We bought a day pass to the adult resort since they had nicer lounge area by the beach, but the food choices were not any better... more choices at the family resort.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: i love this place

the service was fantastic. rooms nice and cool. i love the ocean in that area.Pools were clean. We are looking for a place to have a family reunion(40+ people) this is on top of our list.Have had a lot of my family staying here over the years.

Friendly Fun Vallarta: Slightly Disappointed

2nd visit here. Service was still awesome and food pretty good. Resort caters to Mexicans. Most of the entertainment was in Spanish. Would have felt better if they translated into english. Can't take resort's beach lounge chairs onto the beach...a recent change apparently enforced by the federal government.

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel and Mexican Charm: Everything you need!

An authentic Mexican hotel. Great location close to marina. Quick to hop on a bus to go downtown. Beach was nice and very swim able. Loved the food and thought the service was great. I would have like some more things to do in the evening. And the wifi never seemed to work. Very nice staff. Wish I was still there!

Riu Vallarta: Amazing resort!

Great resort, good food, good drinks! Awesome beach! Only suggestion is that the hotel entertainment could use some improvement. Too repetitive. However, I must say that the local bands were really good. They had everyone on the dance floor! Tours were good also. Puerto Vallarta tour was fun and educational. Great way to sample tequila! And, on a final note, I would highly recommend Rhythm of the Night! Amazing show and dinner, as well as the entertainment on the boat. All in all, great trip!

Secrets Vallarta Bay: Very attractively designed resort

Rooms were large and very comfortable. Loved the balcony which had a good view of the resort and ocean. Numerous pools and hot tubs. We were impressed with the quality of the food. All the staff was extremely helpful. Beautiful sunsets and a lovely lobby to sit and watch from. Waves were very strong when we were there, so swimming there was only for the very brave. Beach sand not as nice as other beaches I have been to.

Costa Club Punta Arena: OK

This is a very busy resort, people are everywhere. Not so good for a romantic getaway. Travelled with family so it was just fine. Nice staff, good food and the rooms were basic but clean. The adult pool up top is very nice and not busy. This place is in a great location.

Canto Del Sol: Beautiful hotel

This is a great place to stay. It is very well located, close to downtown and the boardwalk. The pool is lovely and the food at the buffet and the snack bar is very good. The grounds are kept clean and the room is basic but also clean and has everything you need. The staff are friendly and accommodating.

Crown Paradise Club: Family fun resort

Check in and out was super easy and quick. The staff at the hotel do an amazing job of keeping everyone happy. Carlos at the breakfast and lunch buffet is absolutely awesome. Rogelio and David are 2 of the best bartenders you will ever meet. The grounds were always clean as were the pools. The maids did a decent job. The vendors on the beach could be annoying though. It was a great stay for our family (17,14,4,1)

Crown Paradise Club: Beautiful resort with amazing staff

Very well maintained resort. Perfect for families and children - lots to do and see! I would definitely go back again. The food was excellent with many choices to pick from. I loved that there was a buffet area just for kids - this resort is geared to all ages, which was very nice.

Playa Los Arcos: Good Location for beach and restaurants

The poolside rooms are excellent.The dinner show was too loud for conversation while dining. We would stay here again because of the convenient location and the atmosphere at poolside and on the beach.
