Friendly Fun Vallarta: A Very Nice Place to Stay!

This hotel is a wonderful place to stay while in Puerto Vallerta! The staff are so hard working and wonderful to the guests that the name of the hotel rings true. The grounds, pool and beach area are immaculate and the service top-notch. From beach chair service of a tasty shrimp platter for two to the champagne and chocolate dipped strawberries surprisingly placed in our room, who could not but feel welcomed and special!

Plaza Pelicanos Grand: Lovely boutique resort

Attentive service by the staff, well maintained grounds, comfortable and pleasant facilities well laid out. Food good, and offered both hot and cold venues around the pool. We really enjoyed the intimacy and "family like" attitude and feel of this place. It wasn't mass production and yet it offered everything we needed to make our vacation enjoyable. We were able to get moved to a room overlooking the pool part way through our stay and we REALLY enjoyed that. They baked up gluten free muffin mix [... read more]es I brought for my special GF diet. It would have been nice to have had WIFI in the room and around the pool rather than just in the foyer, but, can't complain about the service, amenities, staff, or anything. We would definitely come back!

Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: great spot

staff was awesome from the maids,front desk especially Julius and Lucy at customer service.My sweetheart was the cook at the pool diner who served bbq pork. Location was short bus to town and the beach made for a nice daily walk with great views of the surrondering area

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: Good resort

The service was amazing, the beach was good, food was so so!! Love the location between the Malecon and the airport, ocean grill and Le Cliffe was amazing food and next to a beautiful beach, weather was perfect every day

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta: Great Resort!

This was our first time staying at this resort. We purchased the Royal club package and upgraded to a studio suite upon arrival. We were treated like royalty. Food, room, entertainment, beach and staff were excellent. A special thanks to Jorge in the beach area. His service was always accompanied with a smile:) If you are looking for a smaller more intimate resort I would suggest the Occidental Grand Nuevo!

Paradise Village Puerto Vallarta: Paradise Village

Excellent hotel, people were wonderful, food was great, can't remember all names of staff but they were all excellent. Enjoyed the beautiful beach and the nice long walks and all the entertainment and theme nights.

Friendly Fun Vallarta: Nice place, staff were very friendly

Smaller all inclusive, lobby and reception recently updated, rooms could use some attention. Staff very helpful and friendly. Some good entertainment, one night was a marachi band in the lobby area, another night was a violinist, both good. Kitchen staff put on a beautiful food display/buffet on beach. Had one odd event: upon arrival, had two bottles of water and a bag of chips in room. next day no water, Asked maid and got some. The next day no water. This is after leaving what we though was a  [... read more]reasonable tip in room both nights. Upped the tip amount by 10 pesos, and we started getting water. Hmmm.

Crown Paradise Club: good resort for kids

Our kids were 10 and 8 some of the events that they had for the kids were for younger kids, the kids liked that they could get their own specialty drinks. The food was ok at the buffet the a la cart were all delish they were good with our kids. Make sure you book a reservation early or you will get stuck at 830 for dinner.

Las Palmas by the Sea: Exactly what we were looking for

After reading some reviews we were prepared to have to compromise with a lot of things. That was unnecessary, the staff are top notch at this resort and while some things are a bit tired looking the character shines through. We were very happy with the value we paid for. I wasn't booking the Ritz so I didn't expect the Ritz. If you do, this is not your place to stay. Lots of options to keep everyone happy here. The location is great and the people were nice. Beds are certainly on the firm side b [... read more]ut we managed. Rooms were clean, drinks were full and the food was plentiful.....add smiling people to provide you with all of that and you're set in my books.

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta: grand occidental

Everything was perfect-staff, food,drinks, service and the beach. We especially liked the size of the resort with everything so close together. We never encountered a line up nor had to wait on service.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Very much enjoyed our stay here!

This is our third stay stay at an Iberostar resort (also stayed in Punta Cana twice) and it lived up to our high expectations. The staff were beyond excellent, from the concierges in 10 block (Candy and her associates), to the dining staff, and everyone from maids to gardeners was always quick to greet everyone. I have to mention especially the fab animation team -- who work so tirelessly to talk to guests, put on fun activities and participate in the nightly shows as well -- and the outside pat [... read more]io lobby bar servers who are just the sweetest ladies ever!!! We had no problem getting pool or beach chairs (as you always do if you stay at Riu), no issue getting reservations for the specialty restaurants. The grounds are really lovely and always well maintained, as was the pool. My teenagers and us met so many great people to hang out with in our week there!! They posted on YikYak to meet up with other teens there. We stayed in 1010 in 10 block overlooking the fountain and we found it to be great location, quick walk to lobby and pool. Recommend the Steakhouse and Mexican restaurants; the Tepanaki Japanese was just OK -- I have experienced a better "show" at Bahia Principe. If I can mention a couple of minor drawbacks (and they were not really super important to us) the food at Riu resorts is better; there are not many stores on the property and none to walk to if shopping is your thing; the waves are strong most days (red flag on some, yellow flag on others) and so may not be great for little children but you can walk out quite far before being bowled over; the bartenders for the most part are just OK< not super friendly but not rude either. And the excursions are super expensive compared to similar resorts so we did not do them; we took a cab to Sayulita, the funky but congested beach surfer town 1/2 hour away (300 pesos or $15). Would recommend and wish you a happy stay if you go!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great resort, extremely good staff

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The resort is clean and comfortable, lots of activities to participate in, if you're interested in that sort of thing. The food is good/average but lots of variety. The beach and common areas are quite beautiful, lots of room by the Adults Only pool. Location is great, close to the airport and easy walking distance into Bucerias. I would stay here again!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Another Wonderful Trip to the Royal Decameron

This was my 6th stay at the Royal Decameron. Another stay in Paradise :-) Like the hundreds of others that come back year after year, this will not be my last visit. The resort has a wonderful charm. The staff are simply amazing. If it can be done, they will do it for you. They are such wonderful people, they become like a second family. They constantly clean everything. You can't miss seeing someone sweeping, moping, painting, cleaning. They are constantly improving and adding to resort. I wo [... read more]uld go back in a heartbeat, and hope that in the future when I retire, I will be able to go down for extended periods each winter, not just my normal 17 to 21 days that I have been doing.

Canto Del Sol: good value very clean

Hotel food and service 4* beach 2* location ok no problems with time share sellers or hassle on the beach.We had to get up early to get chairs in the shade at the pool but bar service was excellent at all locations. Rooms were clean but they need a update internet great in the room but slow outside near the pool

Canto Del Sol: Good Value

Very CLEAN. Staff is always cleaning floors, wall everything. Food was excellent at the three a la crate dinners. They went overboard for the Valentine supper. Five course meal. Buffet was good but not anything exceptional.

Crown Paradise Club: Amazing resort for all

The place was great. Rooms were clean, no bugs. Actually the entire resort was clean no bugs. There is a fabulous area for the kids to play with that is out of this world. There is also a pool for families (which was heated) and there was a pool and a large large hot tub for adults. Hot tub was headed and had the bar inside. The water is rough but that is expected there, but the beaches are clean. You do not need to fight for a chair or go put your towel down at 6:00 a.m. as there are more then  [... read more]enough lounge chairs available so there is always one where you want to go without having to reserve. There is a lot of vendors on the beach though but was told the beach is public so not much to do about it. but if you tell them no they go away. The food was good, a lot of fish and seafood. i.e. I don't eat that but I ate well as they have a good variety. Restaurants can be booked the same night but I didn't go as I found it sufficient enough at the buffet. So if your an adult and don't want kids well you can still go there and stay on the adult side but if you have kids, they have so much for them. Even to the fact that I'm considering sending my son and my grandkids there. They have four bars, but only 2 open after 6:00 p.m. (one in the lobby and one near the beach). The beach one is where everybody went. Never big line ups to get into the buffet either and staff were very friendly and all spoke English. Rooms are a little bit outdated but hey, do you go for the room or for the rest of the trip?? to me as long as it's clean and no bugs I'm good. I can't commend on the evening entertainment cause by the time we were all done we didn't go to any. Oh and you can have room service in your room free of charge (once a day) and the food is hot, good and delivered to your room within half hour. Casino is like a 5 minute walk (right beside the Walmart). On the right side of the resort there are booths with vendors (type flea market) which I went into town to those and honestly those right beside the resort have the same thing so I could have saved a trip. Buses are 50 American cents. The Canadian consulate is about 10 minutes away also so in case of emergency they are not far either. Right beside that resort there is another Paradise hotel which is for adults only. But to be honest, I was ok with the one with had. So all this to say all in all it was a very nice trip and highly recommend that hotel to your guests. It's not a 5 star but it's close to a 4 star for sure.

Vamar Vallarta: Average Resort

The rooms were clean and the pools were great. Need more daily activities to get the people involved. The food was ok but wasn't the great. The Italian rest. was the best. Great food and service. Eating breakfast with the birds was annoying.

Riu Flamingos: Amazing resort. More then a 3.5 star by far!

Riu Jalisco was amazing starting with the staff right down to house keeping. Food was awesome, very clean resort. No complains what so ever. My first time there and I would definitly return and recommend to my friends. Thanks for an awesome time!!

Riu Flamingos: Great resort for the price!

After reading other reviews we were not sure what to expect but honestly I have no clue what people are complaining about! Great food options, had no problems making reservations for the al a carte. The resort definitely is busy but it was upsetting to see that people save so many beach chairs with their towel yet don't sit there all day! But that says nothing about the resort, it was the guests!
