Tropicana Hotel: Great Location but getting long in the tooth....

The location is awesome for walking and the grounds are very nice. The standard room we had was very old and dingy. The ceiling was actually gray it was so dirty. The bed was very hard and we finally able to get some foam to to put on top of the mattress. The "box spring" is made of cement with a thin mattress on top...ouch! We tried upgrading 4 times each time telling us to come back in the a.m. as they had blocked a room for us. Each time we went back in the a.m. no one new anything about it.. [... read more]....we gave up!

Sheraton Buganvilias Puerto Vallarta Hotel: BEAUTIFUL RESORT

I would recommend this resort. The grounds are very beautiful. The pools are stunning. top notch for service & cleanliness. Never a shortage of good food. The location is exceptional - you can walk into the Malecon. The only complaint would be the beach - its very, very rocky.

Royal Suites Punta Mita: Amazing

The whole resort experience was wonderful. Rooms are big Everything is very accessible. Staff is fabulous. Food the best ever. The only think that was a negative is not being able to walk a long ways on the beach Only beach is in front of hotels. It is a bit isolated but bus service is good

Costa Club Punta Arena: Awesome stay

Resort is smaller, cosy, room was a good size with balcony, bed was very comfortable, people are friendly, walking distance to shopping.and flea market. Overall we had a very good stay and would go back.

Riu Vallarta: the grounds

the grounds were really nice the only thing was the elevator close to our room was not working and it made for a bit of a walk every time you needed to go to your room I think at night they should have dancing for our age group and the bar open till 100 p.m. for our age the disco is for the young crowd they should think of having a singing bar for people at night something more than the sports bar

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Top notch family resort

When we first arrived we found the complex to be quite daunting in size, but after a short walk to the furthest building we realized it was perfect. The complex is divided into 6 buildings with rooms. They are all 3-4 stories and only one or two of them have elevator access. The Rooms are nice and simple but the wall are very very thin and your neighbors will be able to hear your every move and conversation. The rooms were very well cleaned when requested and a bottle of water is provided every [... read more] day to drink. There are many many places to get food and there is quite a surprising variety to choose from depending which restaurant or buffet you choose. The quality of the food depends on where and when you get it and varies from dish to dish, but overall the food was great. The activities and animation team did a great job of entertaining the guests the entire week and the activities are clearly posted on a board to let you plan your day accordingly. There are great tennis facilities, bike rentals, kayak rentals all free of charge. Five pools scattered about the complex for easy access. A nice spa in the back corner but we did not use their services. Beautifully landscaped walking paths from building to building and the beach area. A beautiful complex. Late night disco with pool tables and every night around 9 there is entertainment at the theatre. The shows are put on very well and is great for families with slightly older children. The town of Bucerias is just a short walk away and many bars cater to the needs of every North-American sports enthusiasts. The staff is extremely friendly and the people of Mexico were kind and welcoming. I would definitely go back. Just be prepared to do a bit of walking around.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Better than expected

All aspects were great. The French restaurant was exceptional. The staff was very attentive to our needs for everything. We loved the long secluded beach and had fun in the surf. Being able to enjoy this resort that is just 1 year old was a real treat!

Grand Marival Emotions Resort and Suites: amazing resort

The upgrades to the guest rooms were amazing - could not rate the staff highly enough - the restaurant food - all of them - offered a great variety of food and the service was great as well - staff go overboard to please & be helpful

Riu Vallarta: Good solid family resort

The Hotel is a great choice for families, there are lots of activities for kids, a nightly show 8-9pm, which caters to the young ones, our grandson enjoyed it every night we were there. The food was really good, the buffet extensive. Not enough beach chairs, though we were there during high season so hard to judgel

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Amazing

beautiful beach, amazing resort, clean spacious rooms. Lots of entertainment and restaurants. Amazing pool with a beach look out. Has something for every age. Can't wait to go back with my entire family.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: No need to leave the resort.

We stayed for one week (during one of the busiest weeks of the year) and it did not feel crowded. Food was excellent. The only challenge (which is not unique to this resort) is trying to get a chair by the pool in a desired location as some people get up early and reserve them wit a towel or book and the chairs sit unused for half the day.

Marival Emotions Resort and Suites Riviera Nayarit: Decent resort

We were here a couple of years ago, and overall the service has deteriorated. Some staff are still great, but many seem indifferent. The pizza grill and bar are a great feature. We had Gold status for the week, but they did a very poor job at explaining all of the features of the program so it felt like a bit of a waste. The towel hut almost everyday did not have enough large towels available. The checkout process was log and arduous - they did not have enough staff working the front desk.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Very good resort for families

Property is clean and well maintained; food is good; kids area is excellent; beach is wonderful; only complaint - dinner reservations at the restaurants are difficult - hard to get and yet the restaurants are empty (very curious??). They need big theme nights for dinners that are open to all - and more outdoor dining would be good. Overall - excellent.

Plaza Pelicanos Club: Not as advertised

Was told the resort was 4 stars and it was maybe a 3. We had to find our way around the resort ourselves as no one showed us where anything was or explained how anything worked. And the pictures posted online were definitely better than in person. As well some of the pictures that were included in online reviews were actually of a hotel next door owned by the same chain. Most of the food was buffet style and lacked variety. Overall it was a very disappointing experience for a trip that was suppo [... read more]sed to be a 4 star all inclusive.

Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: Huge rooms

We recently travelled to the barcelo puerto Vallarta. We were pleased when we saw the rooms. By far the largest rooms I've been in, which is great when travelling with children. They had their own seperate space. The rooms were also renovated and very comfortable. The resort itself is well laid out and people are very friendly. However I would say the the resort, with exemption of the rooms is starting to show it's age. The hot tubs especially are starting to look dingy. All in all I would recom [... read more]mend this hotel, we had a great time.

Las Palmas by the Sea: Wonderful staff, great trip

The hotel was clean the staff very friendly and helpful, the food was very good and the drinks kept flowing. The beach is well kept. We were there for Christmas and New Year and they made both occasions very special and the traditions that we learned about are not only beautiful but amazing to see. Look forward to going again.

Riu Flamingos: Riu Rocks!

We just returned from the Riu Jalisco and we could not be happier with our time there. Having stayed at the Riu 12 years ago we constantly were comparing the newly renovated hotel to the old and we found nothing was lacking. The food was fantastic with lots of variety and very good quality - same goes for the drinks! The hotel has been recently renovated but the rooms are much the same as they were on our previous visit. The rooms are very clean, the beds are comfortable, and the maid staff are  [... read more]fantastic - often leaving us small gifts (flowers, towels animals, etc). The night shows were entertaining and the RIU-Fit and Animation teams were great fun to be around. We had a fantastic stay and will be returning with our kids next time. Word of caution - we booked a "Splash room" where we received passes for the local water park / water slides. Don't waste your money and just book the regular room. The water park can be described best as "sketchy" and we ended up not using our tickets. Save your money for much better experiences in Vallarta!

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Had a great time

We went with young kids and the extended family, and had a great time. Very friendly staff, lots of cheerful local people and a surrounding small town. Rooms fairly well kept, the food was good with lots of variety. Would go again.

Riu Vallarta: Great value for the price.

Beautiful setting and exceptional staff. The RIU Vallarta is a wonderful location for an all inclusive holiday. We signed up for two Nexustours.com (adventure tour and Mexican night) and enjoyed both a great deal! Our family would return to RIU Vallarta.

Riu Flamingos: A bit disappointed. Not like it used to be!

Not the same as years ago. Wouldn't recommend Shows were very poor Hotel is clean tho! Took my 3 teenage grand daughters so we had a great time anyway! You can get a better value for what we paid. Won't be doing the Riu again
