Quaint, quiet resort...

This resort is good for relaxing - not a lot of pool games/activities going on. It is small in size and very close to a private beach club. Lots of loungers with beverage service both at the pool and beach which is appreciated. Food variety good, but temperature of foods needs improving. Hotel is older and there are some improvements needed, but the grounds are beautiful and the staff is second to none. Would return!

Authentic clean resort

HB is an authentic spotless resort; room, beach, restaurants all nook and carnies are clean. They serve seafood, beef and chicken for each meal. The variety of food, vegetable and fruit was awesome. Don't miss their shrimp served for dinner! Pastries are good. Staff pleasant people who willing to help. The only down side for me was lukewarm food which is somehow understandable, maybe because of the amount of served food and longer hours of serving (till 11 for breakfast and till 4 pm for lunch [... read more]). I was hesitant to choose this resort because of the vendors around beach but believe me or not it wasn't bad at all they are good people and don't bug you. So, enjoyed good food, drink, weather and vibe. If I go back to PV, this resort would be my choice. I met some people who stayed in HB between 4-10 times.

Perfect resort

All I can say is this hotel was just excellent, best food, I have had at a hotel, rooms were very nice, service was awesome, Best hotel going back next year and staying at the same hotel. The hotel staff were very helpful, and very accommodating ,also very pleasant, everyone always had a smile, They had great entertainment nightly, buffet's had a different venue each night like seafood night, BBQ night, and a lot more, It definitely has Mexican charm, close to the beach. There was food either [... read more] buffet hours or at the bar, and even on the beach, For a older hotel I would give it a 10 if I could,, I heard so many people tell me they come back to this hotel year after year, or when ever they come back to Puerto Vallarta .

Great place!

We had a fabulous time! Great place for a great price. Excellent food and super service. Nice small resort-so easy to meet people. Would recommend this place. Good location as well. Kept us well stocked with drinks at all times at the resort or at the beach.

Fantastic Again - for my Birthday this time! Wouldn't spend it anywhere else

The hotel is awesome in every way because of it's "old charm" from the friendly and accommodating front desk staff, Management, bar tenders, restaurant staff and chamber maids. Can't wait to go back again. Food is great, staff are the absolute best, location, beach club, etc. The entire hotel staff (especially Miguelle (bar tender)) - kept saying Happy Birthday!) who all went out of their way to make my 60th Birthday a very special and memorable occasion that I will never forget and all th [... read more]e fantastic travellers we met who will now be lifetime friends. :) Thanks to all the ala carte staff on Feb. 24th! You made is so special :) Gracias Amigos!

Great place

This was our second time going to the resort and we all loved it as much as the first time. Everything was great. The beach was beautiful, the rooms clean, the food was amazing and most of all the people that work at this resort are the most amazing people I have ever met.

Perfect Vacation

The staff at this resort are helpful, happy and smiling all the time. Always asking if there is anything we want. The resort is beautiful with its architecture and greenery. The food is very tasty and plentiful. The drinks are cold and refreshing. The rooms are great and comfortable. I will definitely go back to this resort next year. They made us feel so welcome. Our new home away from home.

Great service....

The hotel staff is way above exceptional! This quaint little space is within easy walking distance to the beach. The food is ok... nothing special...if I wasn't paying for all inclusive I would have eaten elsewhere.

This resort is very basic. Not on beach but does have a beach club which is nice.

Ground while kept. Food very Mexican which I enjoyed. Pool was clean. Rooms very basic but clean. A/C worked. Had hot water in the shower. Drinks good. Short walk to the beach not a problem. I enjoyed this place. Staff very friendly and helpful. I would return. I like smaller hotel as to the larger resorts.

Amazing Resort

We had the best time at the Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel and Mexican Charm!! Everything was great. Food was amazing, pool was refreshing, rooms were clean. Couldn't have asked for a better place for the price. We can't wait to go back.

Great time there

Had a great time there a older bunch but they can still party , the staff where great lots of fun go out f there way to make you feel great clean great food small but charming but they all know your name by day two , just a great place to stay

We had an amazing time!

This resort is a very quaint old style hacendia casa! You don't know what awaits you until you go inside.. it is centred around a courtyard style casa. The rooms are around the exterior. The pool and snack are on one end close to the spa and the main buffet is in the centre. P This resort is perfect for young families who want to keep track of their little ones. Also perfect for middle age and older looking to relax. Also those with mobility issues consider this resort. Everything is within e [... read more]asy access. The beach is not a far walk and totally safe to go to and from the resort. I believe if u have mobility issues they have a van that can take you. You will find a snack shack at the beach as well. Although this is an older resort the staff are always working to keep it in good working order. There is one alacarte restaurant and we didn't even get there. There is some repetition but for the price we were very happy. They have on Thursday night a Mexican theme supper. On Saturday night it's BBQ night. They doll the one side of the resort all up fancy and it's very nice. They also have an Italian night as well. Th only down side is how close it is to the main road. We had our room right by the corner of the street light. Next time I will bring ear plugs lol. I will definitely be going back. On a side note if u r looking for something different to do in puerto Vallarta try the zoo! We did and we enjoyed it very much!! .

Beautiful resort

I had such a great time, the resort was clean comfortable, beds were amazing, the beach sand and surf was perfect. Lots of seating around pool. Great food and entertainment. And the best part the staff was amazing and friendly. I would go back tomorrow if I could.

Comy & Affordable

Nice little resort food was good and pool was nice rooms were average and beach club was nice but not alot of entertainment at night but not that expensive to grab a taxi into downtown areas and beaches which was a nice change of scenery from a week at the small resort it was nice to get out and see the authentic mexican culture the swim up bar at pool actually is not a swim up bar you actually have to get out of pool and walk a bit to the bar which was fine and pool was heated but was a very bu [... read more]sy resort full of small kids so not much relaxing but beach we thought we could escape to for a peaceful nap or whatever but again alot of people asking you to buy goods like every two minutes literally so again a public beach the resort isnt at beach area its 2-3 blocks away but free shuttle to beach so that was fine you get what you pay for and it was affordable and still had a nice vacation but might try a different resort next time as this was listed as a 4 star or more but we say more like a 3 or 3.5 star

It is what it is...

Zero complaints about the staff, rooms, wi-fi, pool, beach area, bars, location or dining. There is also a huge local grocery store and a pharmacy a block away that has anything you could ever want in case you forgot it at home. However, we did not realize that the pool and pool bar would be jammed up with so many locals. I did witness a local guy having sex with his girl "quietly" one afternoon in the heavily packed pool. Also I watched a bird poop in one of the salad containers at the outdoo [... read more]r BBQ night. After finally finding an english speaking staff member, they removed that salad from the buffet. A wedding was going on one night just behind the pool area. It was very loud and confusing because the pool area had a local band every night and the wedding had its own DJ. You can hear everything that happens outside in your room, but they did have everything fairly quiet by 1am every single night. There were a few private parties going on in the hotel, but most didn't last much into the night. There are things that are out of control of the hotel and its staff. They certainly were not at fault for any of the events that I had witnessed. Our room was spotless. Not the most secure looking place, but very clean and air conditioned. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, believe it or not!

A great experience

My sister in law recommended this hotel and it was very nice. Even it was close to the main road, inside the compound, you would not recognize. Overall a great stay. Great food, great people and a great beach area. Would go back any time.

Fabulous

I was impressed on how helpful the staff were. Our door man was fantastic and directed us to some fun places. The resort was clean and food awesome. I had an excellent time. I would definitely return again.

Fun Resort

This is our 2nd time there. It is a small older resort but they are always renovating. The rooms need work but they are always clean and the beds and pillows are comfy. There is only one pool but always lots of room. The night life after dinner shus down around 10:30pm as there are rooms all around the pool bar. You can still drink at the bar but quietly. If you want more partying you can always catch the town bus ( bus stop just up the street ). Or a cab to the malecon where there is always hap [... read more]pening bars. The grounds are well kept with beautiful gardens. The staff are so friendly and helpful if you need anything. The ocean is less than a 5 minute walk or they have a shuttle that will take you. There is always something to eat, the food is good. They have theme nights for dinner. One night is Mexican, one night is seafood and they always have a BBQ night which is amazing. If you don't like theme food, there is always other food you can pick from. You never go hungry. I like this resort because it is so small that you meet so many amazing people that become friends. Caesar is the manager who always has a huge smile and always asking if everything is ok. He is a super man 😃 I can't wait for next year. If you are a picky person I wouldn't recommend this resort for you, but if your laid back and easy going it's friendly and a lot of fun.

For the quiet crowd

Clean, beautifully landscaped, great friendly service, fresh food but bit repetitious, small but friendly hotel. Must be fit to stay on the top floor. We averaged climbing 500 stairs per day! Would recommend this hotel for more of the senior crowd.
