Melia Puerto Vallarta: Very Good

This is the 2nd time that we have vacationed at this resort as a family and we will be back again! It is very family friendly and our 3 boys loved it too! We also have friends in Peurto Vallarta and we appreciate being able to spend time with them on the resort by purchasing a day pass for them to swim and have dinner together. The rooms are clean and well kept and up to date, however I would suggest that they upgrade the double bed to a queen bed in the Deluxe room . Last time we were lucky eno [... read more]ugh to have a the family adjoining suites which we loved so that the kids had their own shower and bedroom. The staff are always friendly and courteous and we were impressed that many of them remembered us from one year to the next. The service was good and the food is tasty and there is something for everyone. There always seems to be a place to sit and relax by the pool and the activities are interesting and fun if you want to be involved, but not intrusive if you would rather sit and read a book. A well balanced place to stay. We also enjoy the location of the Melia as it is close to the downtown area and a short cab or bus ride to shopping, the Marina or just a walk on the Malecon. We look forward to another awesome vacation at the Melia in Puerto Vallarta, MEXICO in 2015!

Crown Paradise Club: Great family holiday resort!

We just returned from a 10 day stay at this small but lovely resort! We travelled with our 2 small children who had an amazing time and made lots of new friends! The resort was very close to the airport so no long drive to and from! Upon arrival we we greater by our Westjet rep and everything was smooth sailing. Off to the resort and that was quick and easy as well! We took a basic room with an ocean view, was lovely and simple and clean! Only thing missing was the fridge didn't have any beverag [... read more]es like all other all inclusives that we've stayed at, and they only provide one bottle of water and you have to buy what you need their after! Not the end of the world! But could have been included! So to rate the food at the buffet, everything w very good, although the selection was limited, but what they had was yummy! There was something for everyone! Was out daughters birthday while we were away, and they made her a lovely cake and made it special for her ! Also the mixed drinks where much better than most placed we've stayed, always fresh and not a powder like some of the other resorts! The pool was great not over chlorinated, always fresh towels when you needed them, the only thing I missed was the beach, the seas were very rough while we were there so we couldn't take the kids to play in it, but that's not the resorts problem! Also a bonus was they did. Room service, and the food was great, our son loved the home made chicken nuggets! Overall I would recommend this resort for family's, cause it is a family place! Had a relaxing good time! Stayed December 2014, travelled with family

Crown Paradise Club: Family Friendly Resort

The resort is one of the few good ones I have experienced. The staff is helpful and everybody works very hard to keep the common area clean. ( e.g. sweep the sand on most walking path, clearing dirty plates and glasses left all over the common areas ). The food is one of the best I have come across. Lots of selections and 3 types of fish every meals, not to mention the tasty Mexican food ! There are lots of activities for children and family but for a single person like, me, I find it a little n [... read more]oisy and I have to get up early in order to use any the swimming pools. The kids and families are in the pool from 9 to 9 ! I met people from the All Adult only came over to our side for food and to mingle. Entertainment wise is great for families with children but not for adults. Too bad the Pacific Ocean has such high strong tide and I was not able to swim at all. All in all, I find this place good, clean and I have already recommended to friends with children.

Plaza Pelicanos Club: Really loved it

The rooms were kept amazingly clean, the food was excellent and the staff were amazing. A special thank you to Claudio (the pool bartender) so polite and courteous. The other pool bartender was polite but I apologize I didn't get his name. The staff were incredibly helpful and everything was kept clean. Thanks all around for everyone's hard work.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Excellent all-inclusive resort!

The customer service here was top-notch. Every staff member that we interacted with was great and made us feel like they were truly there to make our stay carefree and fun. Bed was comfy, a/c was just right, oceanview room overlooking the golf course on the left side of the resort (third floor) was lovely and private. Food was overall great, except the steaks. We ordered rib-eye and not only were they two different steaks entirely, but so tough we honestly couldn't eat them. Two other tables nea [... read more]rby ordered steaks and had to send them back. We were there from Dec. 01 - 08, and the weather was perfect every day. The surf was perfect also. Massage on the beach to the left of the resort - walk along the gorgeous beach (very clean), - only $35 US for 60 mins and it was truly the BEST massage I've every had. Didn't try the spa at the resort, but of course prices at the resort spa were considerably higher. Overall, we were very happy with our time spent here.

Canto Del Sol: Good value

This resort has all the basics covered. It's clean, friendly staff, decent food, rooms are nice and well-maintained. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done at a reasonable price. The beach in PV is terrible however. Dark, rocky sand, polluted water and I got stung by a jellyfish. So if you only want pool-side action, it's fine, otherwise, stay on the East Coast.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Spectacular Resort

We stayed at Iberostar Hotel and Resorts in Puerto Vallarta Dec 4th through to Dec 11th and really enjoyed ourselves. The resort was very new and was very well kept up! Staff were very friendly and always there to assist you with anything we needed. We were questioned by staff several times during our stay whether our stay and our room was meeting our expectations and they were open to any suggestions for making anything better.

Canto Del Sol: Awesome people!

The people were amazing and went out of their way to help you. I had troubles with my door lock, both inside and out, as well as with my safe, but everything was fixed very promptly. One of the maintenance men had to even jump from a neighbouring balcony! My daughter and I will be going back!

Plaza Pelicanos Grand: Simply Ok

Amazing staff , food was basic except for breakfast which was very good, Very clean rooms, pool was small but nice. Hotel occupied by mostly locals from Guadalajara.. Recommend this hotel IF you get a great deal NO GUACAMOLE ........

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: staff excellent and complex wonderful

I have been there four times and each and every time was better than the last I have taken people thete and recommended to everyone The staff go out of their way to make sure you are well looked after Frendly clean and always happy to mske sure you have a great experience Lots of pools and restaurants

Villas Vallarta by Canto del Sol: the Best resort

The location of everything was the best, and you couldn't get better service. The staff couldn't do enough. It was close to everything great walks on the beach. Clean the rooms were in perfect condition, the Maids were fantastic. Lots of different foods, to choose from , breakfast lunch and dinner. Location for walking into town, and other restaurant, never needed a cab. would go back in a second with out hesitation.

Canto Del Sol: Wonderful resort

Everything was good,but when they say there going to have a seafood night they should have seafood we were so excited and very disappointed with what they had not very good. Rooms were very clean missed having a coffee pot in room. WiFi didn't work in room so had to go to lobby or pool. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Too many people selling stuff on beach,they keep coming so you can't really relax.

Villas Vallarta by Canto del Sol: improves every year

Over 20 times to PV, at least 5 times to Canto/and/or Villas. Last year seemed to be the start of improvements, and more this year.. The buffet is better, the Monday night Mirachi bands were terrific,as was the dance band another night. Staff are always very accommodating, and everything is always clean.For the price we pay it is excellent. ,

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: A five star resort in every way!

My daughter booked the Iberostar Playa Mita to celebrate my 70th birthday. The personal service we received daily was truly appreciated. As well, the many activities offered, found us on the go whenever we decided to participate. The layout of the compound was especially appreciated; ocean frontage, immaculate grounds and centrally located pools. Accommodations were superb. The resort was five star in every way!

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Great resort

I visited the resort with my wife, at the beginning of December. We received good service throughout our stay and would consider visiting again. Our room was an ocean view room with a king size bed and a huge shower.House keeping did a great job, they came in twice a day to make up our room and fill the mini fridge! There were a lot of options for food and we really enjoyed eating at the Pacific Express restaurant!! Throughout the day there were lots of activities in which you could participate  [... read more]and I really enjoyed playing beach volleyball. There was a coffee shop on the resort which made the best cappuccino! My wife and I really liked walking on the beach !! There were lots of smooth colourful rocks and the ocean was warm and fairly calm!! Overall I could say that we had a great time at Iberostar!

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Great Value

If your looking for a resort on property this is a great place to be If you want off resort activity's you might want to look else were As this property is located a long ways from any were With that being said this is a year old resort that is totally taken the mistakes of older resorts & done them right Rooms are great basic but great Staff as all mexico are fantastic ( as tips are appreciated there not expected ) The food was above standard The shows although the state of the art theater in m [... read more]y opinion sub standard Although I do not have kids it looks amazing for children I am not a big fan of screaming kids but in all honesty even though they were plenty full they were not an issue . The property is amazing as is all the infrastructure . I have been to Mexico 20 or so times and was pleasantly surprised by this resort I would put it in the top 5 of all the resorts I have stayed (3.5 stars to 5 stars ) If you want to stay in your resort do not miss out on this one It is differently top shelf

Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa: NOW Amber - GO NOW

4th time at this property. The service, food and amenities keep drawing me back. Whenever you say thank you to a hotel employee, their response is "it was my pleasure" and they mean it. Hotel rooms are superb. You will really enjoy this hotel, shared with the Secret hotel next door.

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: Good small quiet resort

This resort was overall quite good. It is small and quiet with, in my opinion, better than average food. The food choices are limited. Close to the airport and downtown. 7.5 pesos for bus to downtown or 65 pesos for a cab. Our room was great with a partial ocean view but one of the other guests told us that their room smelled of sewar or mold. The staff were fantastic. Not the place to go if you are looking for a party.

Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: Luxurious and Lovely

Rooms were spacious and beautiful. Beach was private and clean. Swimable. The grounds were lush, tropical and well kept. Food was always good. We lived off the tacos by the beach. Excursions: go pet the baby tigers at the zoo (walkable from the resort), go swim with the dolphins (a twenty minute boat ride away).

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta: Fantastic Experience All Around

Checking in and out was well organized. The resort was very clean. The housekeeping made up our rooms beautifully every day. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious, lots of variety, and very high quality. They had very well run activities during the day. The evening shows were amazing. I would definitely come back.
