Crown Paradise Club: Amazing family resort!

We stayed at crown paradise club february 1-8, 2015. This resort is amazing! Not too big, not too small! We travelled with our 4 year old daughter and another family with 3 children. The buffet is great! Something for everyone and a special childrens buffet area so they can serve themselves. The beach snack bar we all enjoyed they serve hotdogs, hamburgers, fries, fried fish, calamari, ice cream etc. Our children loved the infinity pool probably because it was the warmest. Staff was great! I onl [... read more]y have a couple of negatives. The pillows are lumpy. I read that in a review before we left so o brought my daughters pillow from home, if you have small children I suggest you do the same. The wi fi is spotty and doesn't work all the time. If you do get wi fi do not throw out the card with the password or take a picture of it. We threw ours out and it asked for our password the next day which we did not have so we had to buy another card:( We stayed on the 4 th floor the rooms were nice and recently renovated. We heard the lower floors have not been renovated yet so keep that in mind when booking. There is a Walmart and a supermarket very close by. Beware there are people trying to sell time shares at the supermarket who are pretty aggressive. Bring lots of sunscrean they charge $25.00 a bottle there. There is no mini fridge or coffee maker in the room. We bought water from Walmart and kept it in the room. If you like your coffee bring a coffee press and grounds to make your own on the room. The kids pool is VERY slippery!! Our daughter wiped out at least 5 times. It's pretty dangerous. There are no bath tubs in the rooms just a shower which was fine for us. The TV mostly has Spanish stations so download shows and movies on your tablet if you can. Tip the bartenders and you will get amazing service! I highly recommend adventuras park! It was awesome! Lots to do! All and all an amazing resort! We are already planning to go there next year!

Sheraton Buganvilias Puerto Vallarta Hotel: An amazing resort!

Everything from the location of the hotel to the staff the food the grounds everything was amazing. They know how to take care of you in PV, Mexico. This was my second time staying at the Sheraton in PV and it will not be my last.

Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta: Excellent resort

Great service staff was very friendly and efficient really felt they bent over backwards to provide a great vacation.Clean and well run food was awesome the only negative was there are no balconies on the standard rooms

Costa Club Punta Arena: Budget resort with very nice staff

The staff was excellent and the grounds and rooms very clean. The rooms were very Mexican and simple with whitewashed walls and budget furniture. The theme of this facility was mexican with the music being loud and on from morning to night until 8. The clients were mostly mexican. The food was very good but not alot of variety. It is a budget hotel .

Tropicana Hotel: A Quality Resort

The Tropicana Puerto Vallarta is located directly on the beach in what can be considered one of the best spots in Vallarta. Its gardens are immaculate, its rooms comfortable and the view is stunning. The staff are friendly, playful and helpful. It is without a doubt a "come again" resort.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Lovely resort with all amenitites on Site

The hotel is lwell maintained and clean - rooms are comfortable with large bathroom. A/C would not go below 22 degrees so it was of no use. We had upgraded to a Deluxe Oceanview Room- 3rd floor - but balcony is small (only one chair fits) Food in the buffet was very good, lots of selection for everyone. A La Carte meals do not require a pre-reservation, but you can still have a 1+ hour wait to get in. Mexican has outdoor patio and is lovely. Grounds are well maintained. Pools are clean - Adult P [... read more]ool has a serenity pool right beside the bar. Lot's of palapas and beach chairs. People and all staff very friendly - always with a smile - Front Desk, Antonio was superb to help us and allow for extended check out. The hotel is at the top of Punta de Mita and about 1/2 hour from PV. We went one day into Bucerias (15 min by cab $18 USD) to the Flea Market. The best part of the beach is the sea pool to the right of the standard beach - great swimming with no undertow and good for the kids. We had 2 days of rain, but still a great time and the resort does not disappoint. Be advised the resort is on a cliff, there is lots of walking and stairs to the beach. The 5 hotel complexes are three stories and no elevator. It's fine if you are capable to walk ( I did see poeple in wheelchairs) but if you are older and have difficulty with stairs - you will be okay if you stay at the pools since they are all above the beach level.

Canto Del Sol: Friendly resort

I enjoyed my stay at this resort. The grounds are kept very clean and neat. The employees are very good at their jobs. Friendly and helpful when asked. Our room was kept very neat and cleaned daily. We had wanted a balcony but were not lucky enough to get one. That was a little disappointing. We also understand this is a chance you take. The only complaint we have is not receiving a ocean view room which we paid for. This is not really available at this resort where we were because all rooms fac [... read more]e the pool. If we had a balcony maybe could have gone out and seen the ocean but not from where we were. When you book do not bother to book an ocean view not worth the extra money. Food was good, a la carte very good, we tried all three. The service on the beach was very good. The beach was very nice but water is rough here. We have been to the Mayan four times so realized this would be rougher water. Overall enjoyed our trip and would return here.

Riu Flamingos: Solid 8 of 10

Beautiful and clean. Rooms need coffee makers. Severely disliked having to hike through hotel at 6:00 a..m to get a coffee. Disliked check out policy and inconsistent information provided by desk clerk. hotel needs a secure room for guests to store luggage while waiting in limbo between 11:00 am and when your shuttle picks you up. The bellman room is open to the general public with no security whatsoever ever. Also the charge for a late check out is massive and incorrect information provided by  [... read more]front desk. Check out is 11:00 am . Our shuttle was not coming until midnight. 13 hours with no room and your luggage In an open room was unacceptable. Charge for a late check out was 1200 pesos from one desk clerk and 1600 pesos from another. Ended up having to pay an extra 1600 pesos to have our room for the day with our belongings secure. Bad policy. left a bad impression on our last day. Sunwing and hotel need to work something out to better accommodate the guests with late flights.

Sunscape Puerto Vallarta: Extra relaxing

Very clean with freindly staff. Food was very good. Very good around the pool, no loud music blazing all day which for me, is what I'm looking for. They had a few games around the pool side but were not in your face to participate. The pool water was heated which I haven't much of in Mexico. I would go back in a heartbeat, that's for sure.

Sunscape Puerto Vallarta: Our 8th Year!

This was our 8th year at this resort. Obviously, we are very comfortable there. It is a convenient location with buses passing by frequently to take you into town for a minimal fee. There are also taxis available at the hotel door. The staff in the dining room is exceptional, efficient and friendly. The beach is very clean and not crowded. The entire hotel and grounds are maintained in an excellent manner.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Treated like Royalyu

Beautifully situated right on the Ocean, surrounded by a Golf course, with everything/everybody needed to make your vacation perfect! My only recommendation, every room is exactly the same, other than the view, we were upgraded to the Jr Suite Ocean walkout, room 3003, other than our room having a walk out to the beach, patio with loungers, chairs, etc, protected by a surf wall, the room was the same size as others. By definition, a Jr. Suite should be larger. There was never a time we waited fo [... read more]r a drink, Norma at the lower pool was fantastic, dinner at the buffet, or specialty restaurants, were equally enjoyable, a shout out to our main waiter Ricardo. If you're questioning your decision, don't this is a great Resort!

Crown Paradise Club: Nice place

This hotel was not the greatest hotel we had visited but was a good place to stay. It's was clean and the staff very helpful and wonderful. During our stay we didn't get a good weather for 3 days( windy and rain)They told us, it's unusual, the weather is always nice.

Las Palmas by the Sea: Great resort!

We loved Las Palmas by the Sea. Perfect location (not too far to town, not too close), wonderful view of the ocean, perfect size, excellent food, very friendly and personable staff, with bedrooms and public spaces kept sparklingly clean. We loved the adults only pool, and were amazed at the surveillance provided so it was indeed reserved for adults. Any parents (!) trying to sneak in children were immediately notified to move to the other pool. The main negative point for us is the fact that non [... read more]smoking rooms are all located on the street side of the hotel, which means that our ocean view room was almost constantly surrounded by smokers (and originally reeked of smoke). Thanks, Susana, for cleaning it up for us and making it bearable!There should be nonsmoking ocean view rooms (or even better, floors) reserved for nonsmokers! Another consideration is that, because of the layout of the hotel, it tends to be noisy at night. However, this is mitigated by the facts that the entertainment shows end around 10:15-10:30 p.m., and free booze is only provided until 11:00 p.m. All in all, a wonderful stay, and we would certainly go back!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Lovely resort!

The resort was lovely, extremely clean with immaculately maintained grounds. When we arrived they were just finishing repainting the outside of the hotel blocks in vibrant Mexican colours. The hotel consists of 6 blocks of rooms with 3 buffet restaurants and 5 a la carte restaurants. We only went to 1 as the buffets were more than adequate. There was always something you could find to eat at the buffet. They have a different theme each night at each buffet so if you don't like one style of food, [... read more] chances are that you will at another buffet. The rooms are basic but kept very clean. We had 2 double beds, double dresser and small closet, lots of room for 2 people, bathroom has only a shower but again - not a problem. The staff are what make this place special, with everyone very friendly and helpful. Many of the guests are repeats with some coming 10+ years or more and staying up to a month at a time. The beach is lovely with miles of sand in either direction, lots of beach chairs are available so there is never a shortage of a place to relax. Even the beach vendors are friendly and if you say no they quietly go away and leave you to you piece and quiet. Would recommend this place for a nice quiet holiday

Costa Club Punta Arena: Sometimes a deal really isn't a deal.

This is not a resort that I would stay at again. The service was not to greatest, the food was not the best (unless you like weiners). The towels and sheets in the rooms looked like they were years old and never seen a good cleaning. My room was on the ground floor and my patio door did not lock. It was walking distance to down town which was good because the resort really had nothing to do and the nightly entertainment was real bad when they had any. No I will never stay there again and would n [... read more]ot recommend this resort to my friends.

Delfin Beach Resort Puerto Vallarta: Awesome location!

We upgraded to an oceanfront room... Well worth extra money. The view was great, the rooms clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. We went all inclusive, and for the price it was a good deal... I will definitely be going back!

Riu Vallarta: Great Time

Check in was a breeze. We were in our rooms with luggage, interrupted by a trip to the lounge bar, all in 15 minutes while never having to go to the front desk. The jr suite was spacious and well appointed.,Ocean view 8th floor with great sight lines. Had a true king size bed (not mattresses pushed together). Resturants and buffets were excellent.

Make sure you check your safe is working as a couple in our group had their safe comprimised and someone from the hotel staff stole all their money the second day we were there. Hotel management tried their best to make our holiday as good as could be under the circumstances while having no help from Sun Wing staff at the hotel the tour operator. Hotel Management actions will certainly gave us a reason that we may consider on returning for future holidays with the Riu hotel chain..

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: beautiful resort

My husband and I spent a wonderful 10 days in the Hilton Puerto Vallarta. Walking in to the lobby and seeing the ocean and gardens as we were checking in was exciting as we had come from "cold, rainy Canada" that morning. The infinity pools and the area around them were most inviting and we spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying them. The food in the buffet area was attractively presented and we enjoyed many meals there. The staff were very hospitable and helpful at all times. We enjoyed our s [... read more]pacious room and view.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Fantastic Resort with amazing food and activities!

The pool area is clean with plenty of chairs and shade and the beach also has lots of chairs and umbrellas with help to put them where you wish to sit.
