Riu Flamingos: Best consistent value

I have stayed at the Riu hotel chain about 10 times. They are a wonderful luxurious hotel chain that offers consistent value, high quality standards with regard to facilities and grounds, and excellent service. As with any vacation there are occasional annoyances but they have always been very responsive to resolve them. I am particularly happy with the association that Sun wing vacations has with the Riu chain and I hope that this will continue with WestJet.

Marival Emotions Resort and Suites Riviera Nayarit: Great resort!

The resort is in a great location. The beach is great to walk on when the tide is out. Its really flat. You can walk towards Bucerias or go the other way towards the Marina. The workers at the resort are very friendly and helpful. The food is very good in the specialty restaurants. The food in the buffet was average. The gardens and pools are very well kept up as the resort it self. I would recommend this resort.

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel and Mexican Charm: Great Smaller Resort With Authentic Mexican Flavour

After thoroughly checking this resort out on line, I decided to give it a try. Not disappointed. Although not on the beach, the location was perfect for us. Nice grounds, gardens, warm pool, plus lots of loungers and shade to enjoy the excellent wait staff. Buffet was fine. Omelette station excellent. Different themes for dinners with Mexican fiesta on Saturday. Special a la carte restaurant was quiet, cool and intimate. Rooms adequate and comfortable. Beach club a short walk if you prefer. Can’ [... read more]t say enough about the staff. Would return again.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Pleasantly surprised!

This is not an artzy fartzy resort - but very comfortable! We truly had a very good time! I have absolutely nothing to complain about. It is walking distance to downtown - and we walked there almost every day to see what the locals were up to.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Mediocre

Decent hotel. Basic rooms. Too many rooms for my liking. Had to fight for beach and pool chairs. I would not recommend the a la cartes. Buffet food was decent. Too many locals selling merchandise on the beach. Always haggling. Markets in Bucerias a 15-minute walk.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Fantastic Resort

Resort was super clean, pools were clear and appealing (no issues getting chairs anytime), Staff were very friendly and helpful, Food was fresh with lots of choices, al a Cartes were fantastic and easy to book on the app. Beach was clean and attractive. Would definitely return Flights were very comfortable and timely. Thanks Susan for recommending this resort.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Nice Resort

The beach was beautiful. The resort seemed well maintained. The only issue was the app to book the restaurants with was no working properly. It was a real headache. When we were able to book a restaurant, it wasn't always the one we wanted as they would rotate them some nights. Excessively confusing, and an overall bad process.

Plaza Pelicanos Club: Not so great resort

I found it to be so very disappointing and would never go back there again. The hotel lobby smelled like faux air freshener, the buffet area felt like a cafeteria, the courtyard pool felt like a set out of The Stepford Wives movie, the room they tucked me in was on top floor and way off in a corner overlooking an unappealing alley and had no fresh air, the discothèque was a joke, the drinks were fake and sugary tasting, the ocean side pool was missing tiles and looked dingy, the poolside chairs  [... read more]were uncomfortable, the two separate parts of the hotel were confusing at first and there was no fitness area. I cried my first night there and almost gave up my whole 2 week all inclusive vacation because i was SO disappointed in the whole resort. Fortunately i met another guest, who had the same feelings as me when her and her husband first arrived and she guided me to a sweet and very helpful and accommodating lady in the lobby named Esther! She came to my rescue and was able to help salvage my 2 week holiday! She was able to upgrade my room, for a fee, to a ground floor poolside room with sliding door to the outside air and ocean, along with that she upgraded my wristband which gave me access to the gym and all amenities at their sister resort, the Plaza Pelicanos Grand Beach Resort, 2 resorts down the beach from where i was! So every morning, for 13 days, i packed up my bag and walked the beach to the Grand and spent my whole day there, only to come back to my room at the Club to shower and sleep, and then head back to the Grand for dinner and the evening.....having to be back by 9pm before they locked the beach entrance to the resorts. I also ran into a couple their first night at the Club Resort and she was having the same reaction that i had had the week before upon my arrival! I then did what that other lady had done for me, and I guided them to Esther who was also able to upgrade them and salvage their holiday as well! That Esther must be one BUSY lady trying to accommodate all the unsatisfied guests that show up at the Pelicanos Club? And if I hadn't connected with Esther this review would have been a whole lot worse and I'm sure those couples would say the same! But i will never stay there again.....no matter how wonderful Esther is! (**as well, I would like to mention that all the staff I dealt with were very nice....its just that the resort was not)

Riu Vallarta: Beautiful resort

This hotel had amazing restaurants and buffet. It was very clean. Drinks were good, staff were great. I would definitely go back again. My only complaint would be not enough bathrooms for four pools. There was only four stalls so usually a lineup.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Great Family Get away!

Staff was excellent, food and service was great with the altitude upgrade. We used the room service several times and the kids always had fun at the kids club. Great location, the beach is okay, and it's a nice easy walk to Bucerias. Overall would recommend!

Riu Flamingos: RIU JALISICO

The hotel was clean, good food, beach and pools. The staff was friendly. The white party was fun. We enjoyed the foam party at the pool. Loved seeing all the iguanas. Tracy from trip central was very helpful. I would recommend the resort. ?

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Wonderful resort

Grounds well taken care of, rooms clean. Bar and restaurant staff are great. They work hard here. It's an older style hotel and they are working on so many improvements over the years. LOVE the location close to Bucerious and local stores. Suggestions: Icecream open at dinner, not just lunch. Face cloths standard in bathrooms. It would be nice to get more umbrella and chairs at pool and beach. I need some shade.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Wouldn't return

Hotel grounds were well maintained. Beach could have been cleaned up a bit, beach chairs and tables quite dirty. Room were dated, but clean. Not enough storage for clothes, I don't like to live out of my suitcase! Adult pool was very nice but was too loud. Most adult pools have a quiet area this one did not. Maintenance in public washrooms is lacking, many toilet and sinks not working. Food at buffet was not bad, but needed a bit more variety. Neex gluten free options! No self serve i [... read more]cecream bar as in every other all inclusive I've been too. Reservations for a la Carte restaurants was awful! Half the time, the app wasn't working, plus if there's more than 6 people in your party you have to make 2 reservations and split up the people. Quesadilla, omelet and pizza stations at buffet were very good. Check in/out staff weren't very friendly or helpful and concierge services were less than average. Night entertainment wasn't very good, or lack of!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Nice resort

overall nice experience at this resort, great staff, great grounds, good food, comfortable bed. The only bean on the rice would be very outdated furniture, cheap woodwork, more attention is needed on this subject. Thank you Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias for a great stay!!!!.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Basic, not quite a 3 star.

This hotel has seen better days, I'm sure. The rooms show their age. Housekeeping was minimal and soap was almost an after thought. Drinking water in the room is scarce. Very few understand English. Pool loungers were all reserved before 6:30am. Most were unoccupied all day but had possessions on them (towels, bags, books or clothing). Food was good except birds kept getting into the buffet trays. Reservations for ala cart were booked up before 8:00am, never got in one so can't say how they [... read more] were. All that said, the grounds were beautiful and well kept. I have been to Royal Decameron in Panama, (loved it) and this does not hold a candle to it. Would not go back, all though the town it's self was a lot of fun. Great night life outside of resort!

Sunscape Puerto Vallarta: Wonderful resort

We really enjoyed our week at the sunscape with our grandaughter beautiful pool lovely grounds great a La cartes wonderful staff here’s a few I remember Omar and Richardo at the swim up bar made my grandaughter awesome virgin mudslides and many other drinks Ivan at the Italian restaurant was amazing Gladis ,veriniece, and Catalina and the omelette girl who spoke wonderful English I forgot her name were all amazing and of course our wonderful lady Cinthia who did an amazing job in our room e [... read more]veryday thank you to all of u hard working people . That being said I do have a bone to pick with the hotel policy of not giving u access to the food or drinks before 1:30 in the afternoon I find that extremely disappointing when u arrive early to the hotel u have to sit around and wait till 1:30 to get a bracelet so u can get something to eat or drink that’s ridiculous I’ve been to many countries on vacation and have never experienced that before I understand waiting for ur room till 3:00 but come on not the food and drink issue hopefully they change that I seen many people walking around fully clothed in that heat waiting until 130 for a drink I felt bad for them anyways I would recommend going if u arrive at the hotel after 1:30 or else I would never go back there so many other wonderful resorts to discover hope this helps anyone wanting to go here nice to be fore warned great if u are going with small kids otherwise do adults only resorts lots of kids here

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Krystal Grand NV

This was a great 4* resort! We travelled with 4 generations between ages of 4-85 and all of us had a great experience! Pros- good food, lots of fresh options. Comfortable rooms, beautiful beach, fun activities and nice pools. Cons- advertised yoga was only an amateur stretching and Teppanyaki restaurant was only an Asian restaurant. A la carte restaurants were almost impossible to reserve. Air conditioning was sporadic in our rooms. Overall, recommend this resort!

Plaza Pelicanos Club: Peaceful resort

Resort was nice and quiet. Rooms were clean although we did find a couple bugs and they can use a little upgrading but other than that it was comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. I like how we had the option of using two different pools in two different locations. Made for a nice change of scenery every day. Most bars except one closed at 11PM and didn't open until 11AM the following day. I thought this was a bit weird as we couldn't get drinks before 11AM. All in all we had a [... read more] great stay.
