Grand Palladium Vallarta: Awesome place.

Everything was absolutely amazing. Feels like the resort is well managed. Lots of employees wearing different uniforms for different jobs, but nobody was just sitting around. Everybody had a purpose of being there. 1) The grounds were clean. We liked especially abundance of greenery between the buildings, the botanical garden and the zoo. 2) The pools were also clean. Appreciated several toilets outside the pool area and on the grounds; did not have to go to the our room for that reason. Also we [... read more] liked that there were several showers on the grounds to rinse the salt water or the sandy feet coming up from the sea. 3) Food is amazing. Daily decorations at the buffet is nice. All four restaurants were a nice addition; however the buffet was so bountiful, we tended always to come back for desserts. Our favorite was Flamed Crepes with Edgar. 4) Activities at the main pool are for all ages and for all tastes and will keep you active all day long.We loved water aerobics with Tania or Fernando, crazy games with Daniel or Martin, trivia questions, bar tending classes with Alehandra, tequila tasting classes, salsa classes with Tanya "Bonito", archery with Martin, volleyball tournaments employees against guests. 4) The only negative comment is due to the nature's design of the see shore. See shore is rocky, especially dangerous under the water, when you can not see the rocks. Both of us injured our toes when the waves lifted us and threw on the rocks.

Samba Vallarta: A great place to stay!

The food was great and the staff amazing!! The staff was extremely friendly, joking with us and answering all of our questions! The resort was clean and you could see the staff cleaning everyday! The room were great! There were tons of activities that you could participate in but we chose to lounge on the beach

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta: Unforgettable experience

It was a perfect stay in every way. The hotel is modern and well-maintained, the staff is extremely helpful, all the amenities are conveniently located, the food is excellent, and the ocean was so warm!

Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit: Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit does not disappoint!

Stayed in the Grand Class Suite. View was breathtaking. Every time we entered our room we we struck by the beautiful sweeping views of the mountains, beach and the hotel grounds. Immaculately maintained resort. Never an issue finding a chair by the pool. Towels in abundance without asking. Staff always willing to go the extra mile for you and always do it with a smile.

Secrets Vallarta Bay: Fantastic Resort!!!

We had an excellent time at Secrets Vallarta Bay!!! We will definitely go back. Just be aware that the beach is not very good; it has stones and rocks. You will need to ware water shoes and very rough water and undertow. JUST BE AWARE THAT AS SOON AS YOU CHECK IN THEY ARE IMMEDIATELY TRYING TO SIGN YOU UP FOR A "TIME SHARE" PROGRAM .....They tell you it isn't a time share but it is and the pressure is very hard core. Don't get sucked in with their promise of receiving spa credits and a free excu [... read more]rsion in exchange of 90 minutes of you time. They tag team and you end up going through 4 different levels of sales tactics. IT'S NOT WORTH WASTING YOUR VALUABLE VACATION TIME WITH THIS HIGH PRESSURE SALES PITCH. You are much better off saying you are not interested and buying your own spa treatments and excursions.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Amazing resort

Good place for vacation. Staff very supportive, clean rooms, excellent food and drinks. All inclusive package is worth every penny. Missed 24 hr. english movie channel. Thank you filpe, armando, roberto and patricia (chef) for excellent service.

Villa Del Palmar Flamingos: Amazing resort

It is new,clean, beautiful. Foods are good except not much selections on menu. There weren't different menu on each night and each restaurant. The restaurant by beach has no air condition that is a bit too hot to enjoy diner.

Sunscape Puerto Vallarta: Holiday Inn Resort Puerto Vallarta

Had a great stay on this resort. The biggest problem was the eating areas are not air conditioned . The people very nice and had a good time . Bratenders at the lobby bar are amazing watching them work in the heat and deleivering top notch service to all the travlers was great. Close to the buses stops heading into dt so its great. Over all i would go back because we got a great deal on this place.

Secrets Vallarta Bay: A Great Vacation

Great resort overall. What I believe would make it better was I thought they were understaffed. Examples of this were: The washrooms at the pool area were not kept up at all during the day. The floors were always soaked, and a couple of times there was no toilet paper or towels to dry your hands. Also there could have been more servers to bring drinks around the pool area. The servers were extremely busy. There were always empty glasses everywhere.

Secrets Vallarta Bay: Fantastic Resort and amenities!

Las Palmas by the Sea: Las Palmas By the Sea

This is a small resort with only one restaurant (buffet) and a snack bar. Two pools; adult and childrens that is separated by the huge buffet facility. Rooms are nice and clean. Shower/toilet all works 100%. Blow dryer in the bathroom is provided. The staff truly leave you alone where you can really get R&R. The food was average to above; a very good selection all of the time. Entertainment was good. Being a small resort, the grounds are small with an average beach.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great location, Great value!

We stayed for 1 week in July, so it was very hot in Mexico! Our stay at royal Decameron was better than expected. We were in block 5. It was quiet, the tropical scenery, birds and flowers just off our deck were beautiful, relaxing, and fragrant. The grounds were kept immaculate, with staff constantly cleaning, sweeping, washing, painting etc. It is an older resort, so there is a lot of maintenance to be done, but they work very hard. Food in the buffets was very good, lots of variety, something  [... read more]for everyone. The Mexican food was our favourite, it was delicious. Fresh corn tortillas pressed and cooked just before you eat them, and the guacamole was the best! We didn't have luck with the ala cartes, especially the Mexican one and Jap Jap. We must have had higher expectations, as we were disappointed in the quality of food. The rooms were basic and clean, although the air conditioner worked really well, it was loud, even when we turned it off we could hear the other rooms ac units buzzing through the walls! I'd recommend taking ear plugs if you're a light sleeper, although I got used to it! There was a great line up of activities to participate in. The beach was beautiful and the people selling jewelry etc on the beach are part of the resort, they are not pushy, and are respectful when you say no. We would definitely go back, it's amazing value and has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Canto Del Sol: Wonderful people & a beautiful place!

We loved our stay at Canto Del a Sol! Very clean inside and out,wonderful staff very hospitable and great food! I was recommended this place by a friend and would recommend it myself to anyone friend or complete stranger!

Canto Del Sol: Great resort!

Well maintained and clean place. The staff were super nice and had anything we needed. Always had lots of food and drink. Beach was a bit rocky but still a beautiful view. Weather was perfect and location was fine.

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta: Beautiful Resort

We really enjoyed our stay at the Occidental Grand. Very clean, very friendly staff, good food and drinks! We would recommend this resort to everyone. We will definitely being going back in the future!

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Grand palladium

We have been to the hotel last year and absolutely loved it. Parts have even gotten nicer like the children's waterpark area. We have been disappointed with the kids club this year. Last year it was absolutely amazing and our daughter was looking forward to the kids club, this year unfortunately the girls didn't do anything that was on the schedule but mainly turned on movies for the kids and let them play video games for hours. Our daughter did not enjoy the kids club this year at all, that wou [... read more]ld be the reason why we would not return.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Surf, sun, sand and the friendliest staff around!

The Grand Palladium is now officially my favourite place in Mexico!! Spent a week there with my boyfriend! They just got brand new longboards in for guests to use at the surf break right out front! And for those who don't know how to surf, they give you lessons!!!!! So many sea turtles and cool fish in the warm, clear ocean water!! The food was amazing and there's something for everyone! We got upgraded to an oceanview room (for free!) overlooking the waves so we could check the surf from our ba [... read more]lcony, which every room has! Honestly not a single bad thing to say about this place! Love love love love love it!!!!!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Resort was sufficient.

The resort appeared large at first; although, you got used to the walking around afterwards. The resort is on the beach and the staff upkeeps the grounds constantly. The food is amazing if you are willing to branch out and try new foods. The staff were kind and cheerful. Not that it is the resort's fault, but if you go on the beach there are Mexicans bombarding you to purchase items. I hear this is common all over Mexico. This resort is also a distance from the city. Disliked that there is no sw [... read more]imming after 8pm in the pools. There are no signs, and they don't notify you and when we arrived we were swimming around 9pm in front of an open bar and a security came blasting his whistle. There is a pool or all ages and there is adult only pools as well. The daily activities were good and the nightly performances were amazing! The other thing I disliked was the security at night appeared to be on a power trip. One of the workers was chatting with us at night, and the security supervisor walked by and muffled under his breath telling the guy to move on. Apparently the locals are not allowed to talk with the tourists. Also at night my friend and I would go to the same bar to meet people. The security guard would come and sit at the bar and stare at me and the bartenders if it were only I and them at the bar at the time. Then in spanish he would throw accusations to the bartender which made me sad because they were nothing but kind and excellent bartenders. My friend started to intervene and he denied it. I was later informed that one of the workers got written up for talking with the tourists. This what bothered me the most. I am not a big drinker but loved staying at the bar meeting all kinds of people. This resort is not all that exciting and when I went in june it was all Canadians and Mexicans. Not a lot of people between the ages of 25-40 without children. Overall, I would go here again if I wanted to relax at a resort. For something more exciting, I would go elsewhere.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Location Location Location, Best in the Bay

Great set up with the location in the Bay. From beach to the well groomed grounds, the guests services will amaze you as they did I. I will be back to enjoy the Best bay in the Pacifico. So much to see never enough days to do it.....

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great vacations

My sister and I went to this resort at the end of May 2015. There's nothing fancy but it's a great resort if you want to enjoy the beach and relax. As the other reviews mentioned, it's REALLY clean. They are always taking care of the resort. The long chairs (and yes they are not that comfortable after a week on it), the pools and the beach are cleaned every night. The food is good, you always find something to eat, whatever your preferences and the staff is very friendly and courtly. All in all  [... read more]it's a really good resort and I highly recommend it.
