Riu Vallarta: I loved it

Everything surpassed my expectations I liked the way the crowd got involved with all the activities Excellent entertainment Great food Great facilities Definitely recommend to others Riu party was the best

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Pretty good

It’s decent resort for the money you spend. Rooms are basic but everything was functional and clean. We stayed closer to the beach m, which we loved. The grounds are well kept and there are lots of activities during the day for those interested. Food was basic but good quality and you could always find something decent. It’s super close to Bucerías town centre which is such a great way to shake it up, roam around and eat authentic local food if you’re sick of all inclusive. We did the 20 min bea [... read more]ch walk to town a few times - picturesque, safe and lots of great places to eat/ drink either on the beach or in town. The beach is beautiful and stretches out into each direction. The ocean is not your crystal clear turquoise paradise water, but clean. There are sting rays and water snakes to watch out for but it didn’t stop us from swimming every day. Shuffle your feet when you’re walking into the ocean to avoid stepping on anything. Very close to Puerta Vallarta for city exploration, excursions, whale watching and La Caletas coast visits (highly recommend).

Friendly Fun Vallarta: We love this resort

This was our 4th time in Puerto Vallarta and 4th time at this resort. We wouldn't even think of staying anywhere else. The staff are amazing and go out of their way to help you have a great time! We spent most of our time in the adult only area which was perfect for us. This is a smaller, quieter resort. If you are looking for lots of party-like events, The Friendly Fun is not for you.

Riu Flamingos: Great resort

Very clean, grounds lovely, food was excellent. Rooms are older but kept in great condition. I would go back to this resort again! Lots of room around the pools and beach easy to find lounge chairs. The beach is large and beautiful. Staff is very hardworking and friendly.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Second time there food was better than last time service was not .

We had an issue with our room they would not do anything to rectify it for us . Buffet service was definitely hit and miss . Food was good service was definitely not . Our room was also missing towels toilet paper etc multiple times .

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great Place, would go again

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias is a very good resort, clean and well maintained, meal services very good, nice beach area with darker sand, clean water with no sea grass at all during January, bikes and kayaks available free of charge, local village right next to the resort and further down a good trail taking you to resorts south of this location, rooms very clean with a small fridge to, Wi-Fi was better than expected being available on the balcony of rooms in block 4 and also along the wall  [... read more]where the Ocean front rooms were ( could have been good other locations too ), pools not so large or deep. Not a night person the evening music could be loud depending on the room location, Block 4 was fairly good to not hear it too loudly however if the room was between Block 4 and 3 some additional noise from the deliveries early in the morning to the restaurant. Shower is a little dated still more than acceptable with plenty of hot water. In the future I would consider going again, also at time of our booking was one of the best priced places in the region.

Casa Velas: Casa Velas

We enjoyed an amazing week in Puerto Vallarta at Casa Velas Resort. No matter where we went within the resort staff were very pleasant, always saying Ola or Buenos Dias and always smiling. Our wait staff in Emiliano’s were professional and yet made our experience fun and light hearted too.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: It’s an okay place to stay

the Decameron Los Cocos in Guayabitos is an older hotel that appears to be under renovation. the rooms are old but clean and ours was freshly painted. staff were pleasant but had little english when we had requests or to ask questions. Breakfast omelettes are amazing as is the chef! She was delightful, singing and dancing! The rest of the food is okay but not a lot of flavour and not very hot. Beach is great but very busy! Hard to find chairs unless you wake up very early. Lots of vendor [... read more]s. Pools ok but limited time in the sun

Buenaventura Grand Hotel and Great Moments: Very clean resort

Staff are wonderful, very friendly, helpful & kind. Lots of wonderful food to choose from. Room we beautiful & clean. Beds comfortable. My only dislike, I was sick for 2 days, my family member tried to bring me some food from the buffet, & they were told they could not do that. I could not drink the water there. When asked at the front desk for extra bottled water in the room, we were told no.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great stay second visit would definitely recommend.

My friend and I visited this resort for a week Jan 11-17 2025. We had a wonderful stay. Our room was spacious and clean, the food was delicious with a lot of selection and so were the a la carte restaurants. The drinks were plentiful and the bartenders were excellent. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful and I would recommend this resort to anyone. Friends, families and couples. It seemed to be an older crowd, but maybe that is because it is farther from Puerto Vallarta. We did tak [... read more]e an Uber there one day and it was about 30CAD each way. Cons: The wifi did not work in our room. I was in block 3 near the lobby, but when we were in our room we could not connect. I know 3rd world problem, but just letting you know. However it was awesome on the beach near the bar and by the pools. 2nd Con was the Westjet rep. We decided to book an excursion and booked through him afterwards finding out that it would have been cheaper to book online direct. Also he told us we had to leave the resort at 6:15am, only to reach the office and be told that we didn't have to be there until 9am. So we could have had breakfast and a more leisure morning instead of starving and sitting at the office for an additional 2.5 hrs. Apparently they sent the rep an email of the time change and he did not forward that to us. So do yourself a favor and book online direct with the actual companies.

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: Great Resort

We loved this medium sized resort, the location was wonderful. All of the hotel service staff were amazing! We did have a hurricane warning while we there, was wishing the stafff would have been more informative to the guests on where to go and what to do.

Riu Flamingos: RIU Jalisco, Puerto Vallarta

RIU Jalisco is a nice resort. The decor is a bit dated for RIU standards. It will be undergoing a major 4 month renovation starting in August. We stayed for two weeks from Jan 3 - Jan 17. Check in was fast and easy. The staff are very friendly and helpful although not all speak English. The rooms are a decent size with two twin beds. Each room has a safe, mini bar and a mini fridge. The maids leave a 2 liter bottle of water each day. The rooms are made every day and the maids do a nice job w [... read more]ith decorations. We had a balcony but the noise from a nearby air conditioning unit took away any enjoyment. The food was very good with plenty of choices. The fried pork and beef could be a bit tough but there was plenty of fish choices. If you like steaks you may be disappointed. The main dining room was large and not busy if you go for the early sitting. There were three ala cart restaurants but we didn't bother with them. The beach restaurant is open so black birds fly in waiting to pounce on waste food. That was a bit annoying. There is a hamburger bar on the beach which was very popular. Apparently the hamburgers are fantastic. They serve about 300 hamburgers and 100 hot dogs daily.You can go for lunch at the nearby RIU Vallarta for a change of scenery. The beach is large and safe for children. At low tide (afternoon) the water goes out almost 100 feet which makes it great for walking. There are many beach lounges but they get reserved fast. So get there before 8am. There are many coconut trees for shade. There is a nice road in front of the resort with a pedestrian walkway in the middle. We saw many roller blading and cyclists using it. Very pleasant for walking after dinner. We walked into Bucerias (45-60 minutes each way) twice during our stay. There is plenty of entertainment. It has a children's play pool and three other adult pools. The towel exchange is good with plenty of fresh towels. The sports bar is open 24 hours and has plenty of TVs, a pool table and two PCs for guests to use. They serve sandwiches, hamburgers and hot dogs. I didn't try any. The cappuccino is good. Overall, it is a nice resort, excellent food, nice staff, free site-wide WiFi. Not the most modern but well worth a visit. It may not be to everyone's taste, but for me, it was fine. I would return.

Vamar Vallarta: Has potential but not that great, i'd recommend to spend a bit more and get a better resort

Rating: 2.5/5 I recently stayed at this resort for 7 days, and unfortunately, my experience was underwhelming. Here’s a breakdown of my stay: Entertainment: The entertainment was disappointing. They only showed three different shows during the entire week, repeatedly playing the same ones. For example, the Thursday show was a repeat of Monday’s. The quality of the shows was poor, with little talent on display—just girls in skimpy outfits showcasing their bodies. There was no entertainment [... read more] at the pools either, which made the overall vibe dull. Staff & Customer Service: The staff was not particularly friendly or accommodating. My experience with the receptionist was frustrating. The resort provides old, damaged room cards. One of mine cracked when I kept it in my pocket, and they demanded I pay 200 pesos ($20 CAD). When I refused and asked for my luggage, they made it difficult, so I had to take matters into my own hands. Customer service was definitely lacking. Food: The food selection was limited, though the taste was pretty good. One day, they served a steak, and it was excellent. However, aside from that, the food overall was average—I'd rate it a 2.5/5. It wasn’t bad, but nothing stood out as exceptional. Resort Management: There was no information provided about activities or their timings, which made it hard to plan the day. With better management and organization, this resort has potential, but it’s currently far from being a great destination. Also you can't go in the beach (there is crocodiles and wild animals and so there's no beach chairs to even view the beach). After 10PM everything dies down as there's no entertainment such as a night club or no activities whatsoever.. after 10PM there's only a snack bar that serves only Hamburgers and Hot Dogs (no French fries or anything else)... The room doesn't even have a balcony and it's so small and outdated! Overall Experience: I’ve been to over 20 resorts, and this one ranks among the worst. I’ve even had more fun at the worst resort I visited in Cuba, which speaks volumes about this place. While the food taste was decent, everything else—from entertainment to service—left much to be desired. I wouldn’t recommend this resort unless significant improvements are made in management, staff training, and entertainment offerings.

Crown Paradise Golden: Worst place I have ever visited. Would not recommend.

This place is run down. Starting for the door staff being not polite or helpful at all. Once we got our room, we started realizing the terrible mistake booking this place was. Room reeked of mold and was not cleaned well. Half the place was broken down, pool had no heating, coffee machines were broken, elevator would go to our floor on first try. There was no safe, it had to be requested. Entertainment was not good, sounds was horrible. Pool was always blasting techno music from 8AM (many rooms  [... read more]have a view to the pool so It gets loud in them). Restaurants had really bad tasting food. Gym had bunch of machines broken. Room service was extra charged (this was an all inclusive booking). One good thing was that many people from the staff were very kind and helpful. City is great to explore.

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel and Mexican Charm: last trip to the Hacienda

the resort is well kept, the staff are fabulous, the food every meal was cold , cold scrambled eggs , cold roasted potatoes . better like hotdogs . this has been my go to location for every vacation opportunity since 1999, approximately7 times . I am self-employed and can not vacation on a regular basis. when I do it has always be the Hacienda. sad to say that will be my last .

Riu Flamingos: Amazing resort and fun place to relax with your family

Both the swimming pools were really nice, resort was really close to the beach so not a lot of walking. Also attended the riu party which was really fun. Overall a great resort. The service and the staff were really nice

Riu Flamingos: Riu Jalisco

The resort is so perfect, especially the pool and the beach are my favourite part. Also, the entertainment is amazing, my friends and I enjoyed it so much. Therefore, the room also is so clean and comfortable.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Clean friendly resort

The grounds are very well kept with maintenance crews always around. Every morning crew was out raking lawns picking up leaves. Pool areas were washed down every night when pools closed. Bathrooms were cleaned through out the day many times. Few toilets had no seat. Wifi in all common areas. Had to be on balcony to get it at room (block2)

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Best location All inclusive in Bucerias

We just arrived home from an unforgettable time at the Royal Decameron in Bucerias. It had the right vibe for us, it was not pretentious but absolutely offered what we needed in order to relax and completely enjoy our stay. The rooms and grounds are meticulously kept, and the staff are amazing. The food was very good at the restaurants, and completely decent (at times very good) at the buffets, we did not encounter any stomach issues at all throughout the trip. We stayed in block 5, which is gre [... read more]at if you want a more quiet setting. The italian restaurant piccolos was the best that we tried on the resort. The shows were entertaining, and the nightclub had it's moments (dead some of the time but occasionally bumping on the dancefloor). The beach is clean, the waves are a good size to play in, and the hotel offers kayaking and paddleboarding. There were just enough chairs for people on the beach, depending on the time of day. There were lots of vendors coming to sell wares at the beach, but they were okay (just be aware). Notable - this is not the most expensive/fancy resort but it has the best location and vibe for enjoying the town of bucerias. The hotel intersects a main road which leads into bucerias and along the way you will find dozens of nice restaurants, live music, art, a market, and a very hip scene for travellers to check out. 3 blocks up the hill from the hotel is the mexican big box store called Chedrauis and you can pick up anything you need there for fair prices, as well as a bank across the road to exchange and get change for tips. We noticed that the other guests had floaty mattresses that they would put onto the loungers to give them more cushioning - they were after all hard plastic (clean though) - you may want to buy one of these or if you're lucky someone leaving may give you theirs when they go. If you're looking for the best burger in bucerias its a 15 minute walk to a place called the Burguer Lab - its a hole in the wall, but the best burger, brought a tear to our eyes. Kensho was another nearby restaurant which we loved, they had an excellent pad thai and mussels. Many excellent choices for whatever cuisine you'd like, within walking distance. We were able to relax and rejeuvenate at the resort, we were treated well, we ate well and really enjoyed the proximity to the action in bucerias. Next time we will stay for 10 to 14 days as 7 was not enough. Thanks to everyone at the Decameron! Hasta luego
