Riu Flamingos: Great facility, ocean not so.

Very good, organized, clean, professional staff, great food... , Ocean had waves all the time with a lot of seaweed, unfortunately. Beach should have more shaded areas, $10/day for umbrella is extra expense people don't need.

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta: A Fabulous Hotel

This hotel was well beyond my expectations, the staff was excellent ,the food at the buffet and a la carte was very good. I would highly recommend this hotel. The staff goes out of their way to ensure you have a pleasant stay.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Absolutely wonderful

The Royal Decameron in Mexio is very clean, safe and truly a deal for your money. Several restaurants to choose from, always a chair on the beach and wonderful nightly entertainment. My wife and I will surely return!

Costa Club Punta Arena: Nice resort, super friendly staff.

The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff are some of the nicest ones I have met. Special mention to Wendy in the Dining room and the pool and entertainment folks, Ricardo, Lupita ,Victor and Joaquin. Grounds are beautifully kept.

Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa: Absolutely amazing!

This hotel was simply a dream come true. The staff was amazing and they catered to our every need. The view from the lobby was a dream and the food at all the restaurants was magnificent. We will definitely return and are planning to visit as many of the now resorts we can. I would recommend this resort to anyone. It was a perfect vacation for our family.

Delfin Beach Resort Puerto Vallarta: Nice stay

The hotel rooms were kept very clean, but basic, soon to be needing a remodel. The hotel facilities itself were very basic, but comfortable. 2 pools, one for adults, the other for children. Meals were always on time, good food and lots of different types of food. The staff are fantastic. Please always keep some tips handy.

Secrets Vallarta Bay: Best......Place.........Ever!!!!!!!

1 star rating because this resort is so awesome, we don't want to share it! Jk though. :) Priced for what you get, and you get a lot. This is our yearly anniversary spot. See you in April. Nathan & Amanda R

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Met our needs

We were a family- grandparents, daughter-in-law and 12, 7 &3 yr. olds. We found the food very good and good variety. The Italian restaurant exceptional. Lots of pools, good beach & lots of vacationing Mexicans. Accommodated us with adjoining rooms. Saw baby turtles hatching on beach. Very hot and humid in July/August. Mexican festival very well done one night. Beach vendors charging ridiculous high prices. Nolitour lady was exceptional.

Riu Flamingos: July 9-16

Amazing hotel-- always clean rooms -- great food-- and you have to go to the Marieta Islands if you're in Puerto Vallarta. It is worth the $. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Bring a waterproof camera or phone for memorable pics!!!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: clean

Was overbooked when we got there Feb 19, 2014. They gave us 1000 pecos to spend a night in another hotel and shuttled us there and back. The only reason we went is because there was little kids that would have had to go. We stayed at a stinky suite that was a time share in Puerto Vallarta. We were told that we should be back by noon and a room would be available, it wasn't. We had to wait until 3:00. Wasted our 1st day completely. Will never be persuated again.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Better than expected

I very much enjoyed my stay. Hotel and area felt safe for wlking to town or along beaches. Hotel was super clean. Could use an elevator for building 4. Pools and beach were lovely also private beach club. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I will be back.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great choice

Clean hotel with friendly staff. I was able to eat fully paleo with multiple choices. I did go with my husband in 2013 and liked it enough to take my elderly mother this year. We requested and received a quiet room and she loved her stay.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Had Better

first night room was infested with bugs, requested a move immediately, but was told nothing available. I think nothing in the same price range. Night 3 (2 full days later) they moved me to second floor, next to the night bar,. !Night 4 had fans hollering about the winter Olympics games. survived the music and noise, as they played more country easy rock music till 3 am. Night 5 to Night 15 the bar was shut down and they had repairmen working from 7 am till 6 pm banging, sawing, etc. The bugs wer [... read more]e terrible coming off the thatch material, new and old both contained lots of bugs. Not quiet restful as hoped. Been to 'exico 7 times, this was first time I couldn't go in the ocean. People getting bit every few hours by sting rays and jelly fish. confined to the pool, was,t worth the risk for me. food was ok, they were strict with e booking policy for the ala carts, but they were half empty with no shows. It would be much better to have a line up outside the restaurant and take your chances. got food poisoning from one ala cart and sick 2 days. another girls camera was stolen from the counter as she was drying her hands. I think lots of people keep going back, and maybe 8 need to give them another chance, but not my first choice. I am allergic to smoke, and smokers everywhere, need a non smokers pool. FEB 2014.

Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: What's not to like about Barcelo Hotels?

This resort is out of the way, yet a cheap cab ride to the Romantic District.I had a suite with a large terrace overlooking the pool and the ocean. Great guests and staff a like. Lots of poolside activities for all ages .Walk down the beach and have refreshments with the locals.The night time entertainment does run a bit late and the buffet is limited due to small size of the hotel but the views and proximity to the ocean more than make up for it. I am no stranger to Barcelo Hotels and this one  [... read more]is high on my list.

Riu Flamingos: Beautiful resort, food has something to be desired

The resort was beautiful. Staff was amazing. Food was very bland. I had some chicken that wasn't completely done. 1st peice was really good, 2nd piece was half cooked. They had a good variety of fish but I don't like fish. More meat selection would be great. Loved the bread section, was amazing. A la carte restaurants were really good. Buffets need some work Rooms were very nice. AC worked great. Large rooms Beach was AWESOME. Loved the clear blue waters and sandy beach. Staff was great. So  [... read more]friendly. Wonderful staff Cuban people are awesome. Toke some tours of Veradero & Havana. Jeep safari tour was awesome. Got to see some real Cuban living. Gorgeous old cars. Took a ride in a 1929 ford. I love Cuba for the safety of it. You can go just about anywhere with out any concerns

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Love this place

Great food Lots of variety Spotlessly clean Friendly helpful staff Will definitely go back Excellent mix of young and old Wonderful boogie boarding Designated adult quiet areas Well maintained Easy to get to from puerto Vallarta

Las Palmas by the Sea: My 4th time, so it's like being at home

You can tell a good place to stay , when the staff shows little turnover. That's just one example at Las Palmas. My room was clean and comfortable with a balconey so looking over the ocean in Mexico when it's a minus 65 windchill back home can't be bad. Staff in all areas very accomodating , but that comes after having been there so often. I LIKE the food too..lots of variety and the SOUPS were to die for. I've stayed at Fancy places too which cost a ton of money but never felt so comfortable. L [... read more]ots of Canadians and Mexican tourists make it a pleasant spot to be. I do wish there was less smoking but that's Mexico. The Beach is just three steps down and a 45 minute walk on the Sand to the harbour and Wal-Mart. Plenty of Bank Machines to get pesos using your Debit card makes getting cash very easy. The walk downtown is about a half hour or 5 minues by the little blue buses. I'm glad i found this little jewel and , yes i'll probably fly back this coming February and stay longer. See Ya There... Love - Mom Kozak's Favorite Middle Son.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: A good resort

Overall it is a very good resort. The bad points are the pool is not heated,the food is just average plus. Warm rooms at night. Good points A great location. Some may argue because of the distance from Puerto Vallarta but that's what we wanted. Great location to go and explore the neighboring communities.Excellent staff. Morning walks on an empty beach.Good spa. Comfortable rooms.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Brand new resort with amazing view and staff

Everything was amazing. Food was great quality and staff all around the resort was superb. Lots of choices of restaurants. And decor I was going to steal cuz it was so cool. Not packed the week we went which was nice. Bit far away from town but it was fine with us. Taxi was expensive to the next town 15 mins away. Staff were excellent bringing drinks to the pool and beach. Recommend the bar at the beach and the burger and fries It was more money that we wanted to spend but so worth it. The view  [... read more]was amazing

Samba Vallarta: Very Relaxing

We have travelled to Mexico over 30 times and enjoy staying at different hotels each time. We were very pleased with this quiet and intimate resort. Even though it was an older hotel , we preferred it to the mega hotels were we feel that we just become a dollar sign to the hotel. The rooms were very clean and quite comfortable, the pools were fantastic with supplying an abundance of areas and chairs for the sunbathers. as was the bar service. The food was very good with a selection of traditiona [... read more]l Mexican to basics for the fussy eater. We travelled with our three month old grandson and found that it was very easy for us to move around with a child in a stroller. The beach area was very clean as were the public washrooms. We would definately recommend this hotel for travellers that are looking for a quieter holiday at a very good price.
