My overall rating is good however, we originaly booked accros the street at the villas canto del sol and I was not impressed with the facilities, it was quit disapointing that the overall look of the building was very old and dark it needs alot of maintenance and remodelation.
The receptionist wa able to give a room at Canto del sol near the beach and I really liked the resort, everybody was very friendly and they had excellent service.

Nice quiet resort
This is our 3rd time to this resort within the last 10 years. We travelled as a family of 3 and enjoyed our stay.
This resort is a very quiet and laid back .. pure relaxation.
This hotel is approx. 15 minute bus ride from the airport and you very close to all attractions. Lots to see and all within walking distance.
One of us is a smoker and now that the smoking laws have changed in Mexico there was no smoking inside the hotel at all (rooms or balconies) .. Small section near the pool and outsid[... read more]e the front doors.. This is truly a blessing for the non-smokers.
Only meal served at the Villa is breakfast and bar is only opened from noon until 6 pm. All other meals and a la carte's are across the court at Canto De Sol .. the beach is also at Canto .. a very short walk and not too far out of your way. You have full access to Canto.
Rooms at the Villa are a little outdated but are very clean. Most all rooms come with a kitchenette . Beneficial to us as we like cool drinks and could always have cold water on hand.
Pool at the Villa is very nice and never full .. During our week maximum in the pool at the same time was 4 - 5 people ..
Meals were good ..
Buffet - standard with a large variety of dishes.
Beach grill is open from noon to mid-night and have many items .. Cowboy burgers and hot wings were very tasty. They even have sushi at the beach grill.
A La Carte's: 1. Italian - inside restaurant. Very, very good .. In our opinion this was the best one.. Staff very nice and efficient .. We all tried something different and tasted one another's meals and desserts .. All very tastey
2. Mexican - inside restaurant .. This was nice too .. wide variety of Mexican dishes and desserts and this restaurant would also go to the grill and have steaks grilled for you if you wished to have that instead of Mexican food.
3. Grill/Seafood - outside restaurant .. this was set up near the beach .. Very nice but we were not too happy with all the birds (not the resorts issue as they cannot control that) .. We each order a different type of steak and they were grilled exactly how we liked. Quite a few choices to be had on this menu as well.
If you are travelling with small children (who go to bed early) this would be the best resort to stay at as it is very low keyed and quiet. If you have issues with walking, I would recommend that you stay at the Canto as you would be close to all restaurants, bars and the pool is a nice size there too , Just that pool at the Canto is very busy all day long.

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.

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. ,
