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.

Delfin Beach Resort Puerto Vallarta: Great location

Not fancy but great staff, clean rooms, WiFi, good food, on the beach within the town and 5 minute walk to the Malacon. Separate kids pool and fairly quiet adult pool. Incredible restaurants surrounding the area. Families and LGBT welcomed !

Canto Del Sol: Very nice resort

The Hotel was great, however the beach was not much of a beach. Too small. The staff at the hotel made up for it though. It was nice that you could walk around the town in the evening. It felt safe. The A/C in the room was quite noisy. I needed earplugs to sleep.

Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: Beautiful Resort!!!

The resort was beautiful. The restaurants especially "Don Quiote" Restaurant was 5 star. We never went hungry as there was wonderful food at every corner. I wasnt there long enough to sample everything. The pizza at "Los Arcos" was just like Famosa so good. The family suite was perfect for me and my two teens. The drive to Mismaloya was definately beautiful. Taking the bus to the Malecon was right outside our resort and was under a dollar for two to ride the bus. The people of Mexico are the fri [... read more]endliest. The only con was I didnt get my resort credits (only because I had to ask) and didnt have a chance to upgrade. I was only there for 4 nights. The spa was fantastic. I would definately go back.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Great resort

Food was wonderful The staff very friendly and helpful A long way to go to Puerto Vallarta but the market up town was good. Great place to relax and beach is awesome. Would certainly go back and would recommend it to my friends.

Plaza Pelicanos Club: Good budget resort

The resort is ok for a low budget traveller. The room are very old, but very clean and the buffet is basic food, no varieties. Would have like to have more mexican food. The pool near the beach is ok and very clean. The beach is small but ok.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Friendly resort

Great resort with many repeat customers. Great location with easy access to quaint town (20 minute walk) and access to local bus service for travel either north of the resort, or south to Malecon/Puerto Vallarta. Several pools to choose from. Nice selection of restaurants. Numerous dining options also available off resort.

Riu Vallarta: Clean, friendly and hardworking staff

Close to the airport, friendly staff. The a la cart restuarants are nothing to die for. I tried all of them and I still prefered the buffet. Breakfast is amazing there. I was disappointed about the wifi. Every other Riu i have been to provided wifi in the room. At Riu Vallarta you could only use it in the lobby and it was for one consecutive hour even if you used it for five minutes it would expire.

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel and Mexican Charm: Intimate

The typical (although larger then) the Mexican hacienda with the appropriate interior decor gives a cosy feeling. Grounds provide an oasis to explore native mexican flora and fauna. Decent size pool and the jacuzzi serve the vacationers well. Spacious room with balcony facing the court yard gives opportunities to relax in private and enjoy the morning cofee, or a quiet time with a book. Variety of choices with buffet style, and a la carte restaurant was good. Friendly staff, eager to please adde [... read more]d to overall good experience and impression. One improvement can be in the beach snack bar. Variety of available food was poor and limited.

Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa: Beautiful Resort

This is a great resort for wedding groups. Beautiful grounds, more than enough restaurants to keep you busy (get the steak at the french restaurant, you wont be disappointed) and very spacious rooms, all ocean facing. The beach isn't amazing and when we were there there were tiny jellyfish in the water but there were lots of pools and a swim up bar to compensate.

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel and Mexican Charm: great service

this smaller resort offers great service and is very clean. The buffet and the beach food was very good but very disappointed in the food at the al carte restaurant. The staff was exceptional. Anyone who has mobility issues should be warned, the room alone had 3 levels.

Riu Flamingos: Awesome!

Everything was great. Will go back. Lisa was awesome, everything she said came true. The room was great, had an interior view of the court yard. Food at the buffet was great, a huge selection, really have no complaints.

Plaza Pelicanos Club: Excellent for the Price

The people were friendly, grounds were kept nicely, rooms were very clean, and the beach was just a stones throw away.....anything we needed was immediately addressed....it was a $6 cab ride to Old Town which is where we went several times.....the resort served its purpose for us....we paid approx. $900. a person inclusive and was there for the Super Bowl....doesn't get much better than that!!
