Melia Puerto Vallarta: Resort and the staff were amazing

The grounds were very beautiful They need more staff to help with the keep up I loved the wild nature that was on the hotel grounds Our grand kids loved the pool The washrooms were always clean The staff was very helpful and friendly I was sad that we were not close to our children and grandkids

Melia Puerto Vallarta: Never again sunwing

Go to greece for the same price. Daycare aka seeds club needs a good cleaning like toys walls floors. Gates need to be closed. Rooms smell of mold cause walls and roof have mold spurs even curtains. AC needs to be cleaned i even brought air purifier and still smelt the whole week. Got a spider bite. Tiny ants on beds. Just don’t

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great Resort in Bucerias

We enjoyed our stay at Decameron. The location was perfect! Close to town and central for day trips. It’s also not an over crowded touristy area which we like. The resort is nice, rooms are dated but not a big deal. Bed was super comfy. We stayed in building 4. Perfect location. Close to beach, main pools and buffets. This is not an over the top luxury resort. Do not expect that! Alacarte is available every night but you do have to book by 8 AM. We found the app a bit of a pain to use but  [... read more]that’s OK. I would strongly recommend doing as many à la cart as possible. I found the buffet food to be recycled and for the first time in all my years of travel, I had a hard time with the food. That being said, I don’t travel for the food, so I always did find something, the salad bar was awesome every day. There was an egg bar available every morning which was fantastic. I would strongly suggest showing up near the beginning of when the buffet is open if you were looking for more variety of food as the evening lunch service wears on the food becomes depleted and not replenished. My only complaint at this resort honestly was the recycling of variety of food. Again, I am not a picky eater. However, I did find eating more difficult than I ever have in the past. My only other complaint would be that only beer wine or nonalcoholic beverages are available in the buffet. The beach is fantastic, great location! You can walk up and down for hours if you choose. The location of the resort really is prime you can walk into downtown Barias or take indrive, bus taxi or Uber very easily from this location and it’s not very expensive. The location of the resort is a great kick off point for many day trips. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The staff was fantastic, very attentive and kind.

Riu Vallarta: Gorgeous & fun resort

The pools, beach and bars were incredible. The location was amazing, extremely close to Bucerías and not too far from Saulita if you want to take a day trip! The food was pretty good, a lot of options. When they did have tacos and they were fresh, they were very good. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend the steak house - however, the other restaurants were pretty good! The staff were kind and helpful, and the drinks were delicious. Had a blast!

Melia Puerto Vallarta: Great food and extras

The food had a good variety and was delicious especially moles and tacos. They have nice little extras like room service for barely any charge, waiter service on the beach, providing extras for room quickly if asked, and good front door service where the men remember you and come find you when your ride is ready. The rooms are not accurately photographed- they seem quite a bit older in person than the pic that’s on their website. I was happy with my room though, maid service cleaned very w [... read more]ell. There is a small minibar with pops and beer that is restocked everyday. This is really a family resort, I went on my vacation alone. I like kids so it didn’t bother me but I found it made it hard to meet other people as everyone was part of a family or huge extended family. There are many activities for the kids like a day camp so parents can also relax and the activities were interesting and different. The beach is smaller but still beautiful. There are only a certain amount of beach chairs so I couldn’t get a beach chair for the first 2 days I was there bc everyone saves a chair early in the morning by putting a towel on it then walks away for several hours…so I started doing that too, reserving my chair, going to breakfast then returning to the beach and staying with chair I think they should make a policy that you can’t reserve a chair unless you are on the beach or maybe have additional foldable chairs we can borrow if all the chairs are taken.

Sunscape Puerto Vallarta: Great spot

We took family (8of us) for a week over New Years. Was slim picking by the time we booked. Was all good but another time maybe go to one with less small children. The staff were super nice,loved the treats @ coffee bar. Buffet was ok. Drinks were top notch

Decameron La Marina: Very nice resort and friendly service

I stay in hotel between Dec.20 - Dec.27. I love the way how hotel prepare Christmas dinner with all this decoration and amazing food - it was really impressive. Friendly stuff and funny bartenders. Showers were little bit outdated but otherwise OK. Would sure love to be back....

Flamingo Vallarta: Great Location!

This resort is in a great location to get around PV. Lots of restaurants around the Marina to choose from, I was surprised that the bar closed at 10:15pm. Good size rooms and a cool pool to refresh in. I would stay again here.

Canto Del Sol: Same old same old

Where to begin? We’ve been going to this resort for 7 years now. We have been going to PV for 25 years but 7 years ago due to some life changes we decided to look at doing our dental work in PV. Which brings us to staying at the Canto Del Sol… it’s within walking distance to the clinic. Things have definitely changed over the years and not for the better. I understand that during Covid the hotel needed to change who their clientele was going to be. They focused more on people having wedding [... read more]. Which on the surface sounds amazing. What women out there doesn’t love to see what the bride is wearing?!? Lol. But the way the hotel is designed when it comes time for the reception you are included in it wether or not you want to be. The location is right in the middle of outside living. Which also includes all the rooms facing towards the pool and ocean. At one time time it used to be a time limit of 11. However it is now closer to midnight so forget about having a relaxing evening or staying in and watching TV. The other issue is the hotel doesn’t have an adult pool. Even the swim up bar has young children in it. Even tho there are 3 other pools for the kids to go in and play. One reason I think this happens is because on check in they aren’t told about the wonderful kids waterpark which has a deep pool right beside it for the adults to swim in. I also wonder that even if they are told it maybe because there is no bar by that pool. Either way for us couples that don’t have children with us it becomes very annoying that we don’t get a break from the kids. The restaurants have stayed the same except for the buffet. It is the same as most buffets but some how before it seemed different. I just can’t put my finger on way. Now we get to the rooms. They are tired! We received towels with threads hanging off of them and holes. You wont receive a facecloth and when I asked why I was told that it was a different person the “did that” lol. Like there was a lady walking around handing out facecloths lol. And when they did restock the rooms you were lucky to get enough towels for the amount of people who stayed in the room. The taps leak the shower has no pressure and the water doesn’t get any warmer then lukewarm at the best. My sister’s shower wouldn’t turn on. She mentioned it to the front desk and was told that it would be fixed that day while we were out. It wasn’t! She finally figured out how to play with it so it would turn on. The staff are amazing as always ! Although when you ask them to do something their response is always oh management won’t let us do that. Something as simple as changing the music to something more upbeat. You can also tell when there are more English speaking clientele instead of when they locals are there for their hotels. Please don’t get me wrong I totally understand that we are visiting their country but we spend a lot of money doing that. Which brings me to the next issues… the rating. There is no way this hotel is a 5 star and you are definitely pushing it to say it’s a 4 star. If the price reflected what you received I’d have no complaints but the hotel is up there with some well known Brand Name hotels that deliver a 5 star treatment.

Sheraton Buganvilias Puerto Vallarta Hotel: Nice stay

Room and the food at the hotel were good. Try their soups...pumpkin, corn chowder, Florentine. I did not inquire if there was a hotel shuttle to the city. If not, this would be a welcome addition. The city centre is not too far away...about 20 minutes walk...but this is difficult to do in very hot weather. All in all, I recommend this hotel.

Riu Vallarta: A great place to stay

This resort has everything you need. The food is amazing, service could not be better, housekeeping, you need it phone to main desk and you will have it. There are many things to do as the entertainment always is doing something to entertain. The bars, I feel could be a little better as there are only two open during the day. I think the other two could open to serve their guest at better times. They will try very, very hard to make sure to accommodate you. Now on the downside, if you ar [... read more]e elderly and like quiet then this is not for you. We are OLD and the noise gets very intense during the entire day. An all inclusive adult only, would suit one better. We would never go back there only because of that reason. A huge shout out to Edgar Meja (public relations) he goes above and beyond. Another shout out is to Richard Velar captain at the steak house. They are the worlds best.

Crown Paradise Golden: HELPFUL STAFF AND ALWAYS WITH A SMILE!

When we first arrived at the Crown Paradise Golden, we were a little disappointed. Our oceanfront room was in an older complex of the hotel. Although the view was great, the room itself wasn't what we expected. It was tired, the air conditioning wasn't working properly, and the tv was very snowy, also there were only 2 English stations, CNN and a movie station, that played the worst films ever! The following morning, my husband went to take a shower and the water was cold. He immediately we [... read more]nt to complain to the manager, Roman. Roman was fantastic! He showed us 2 modern rooms in a newer building and said we had our pick. These rooms were ocean view, not oceanfront, but we were very pleased with the room and we didn't plan on spending our day on our balcony anyway, so it wasn't a big deal for us. Roman also made restaurant reservations for us in each of the 6 restaurants at the resort. We still only had 2 tv stations, but the picture was clear and, most importantly, we had a huge shower with hot water. A couple of the restaurants were mediocre, but a couple of them were very good. Our favourites were Paradise resto (Mediterranean), and the French resto Sans Soucy. The Mexican and Japanese restos were pretty good but we didn't try the Italian Piazzo resto so we can't say anything about that one. Our first evening we had dinner at Salvador's resto, which was very bright, like someone's kitchen, and the steak we ordered was terrible. I left most of food on the plate and we never returned. I'm sure if you order chicken or fish it may be ok, but we were not impressed with this restaurant. Breakfast was always good at the buffet restaurant, lots of variety and fresh food, and the staff were great, always with a smile and continuously taking care of the guests. Francisco was my favourite at the buffet restaurant. He was a hard worker, always smiling and always there if you needed anything! He was great! The beach is long but a little hilly, so not the greatest if you like to take long walks on the beach. Some of the areas had quite big waves, but other parts were a little more calm. Most days at the beach were sunny and 30/31 degrees celcius, so it was very hot and humid. There are lots of vendors on the beach, but as soon as you say "no gracias", they move along and don't pressure. We all have to make a living and this is their way of supporting their families, so I really didn't mind this at all. As a matter of fact, we made friends with a few of them and they'd pass by everyday just to say hello and we always had a laugh with them. On a final note, I have to say I love the Mexican people in Puerto Vallarta! Most are warm, friendly and very helpful! There are so many beautiful places to visit in this world, but I would return to Puerto Vallarta some day! Buenos dias y gracias to all our Mexican friends we met while staying at the Crown Paradise Golden!

Flamingo Vallarta: FLAMINGO VALLARTA MARINA

A little gem. Although the restaurant only has a buffet, taste and quality was great. Location in the Marina area also offers pubs and restaurants for variety. The Thursday night travelling market throughout the Marina (2km or more of vendors) offers a great selection of items which are unique to the standard items found in the Malecón markets.

Riu Flamingos: great resort

This is my third stay at Riu Jalisco and it remains consistently good. I do think the rooms are starting to show their age a bit and would benefit from some updating. A la carte restaurants are not truly a la carte but rather a hybrid between buffet and a la carte. Pool areas are great. Beach is great.

Friendly Fun Vallarta: Nice resort clean

Food was good beach was great Hotel was older but staff kept it clean Would go back again ......................................................................................... ..................

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta: Very Good Resort

Firstly, This was my wife and my selfs 29th time to PV and have been to about 15 different all inclusives there, as well as about 10 other carribean destination all inclusives. We were there 2 weeks ,Dec 6 to 20th. Not a very busy time in my opinion ( just before the xmas rush) Things were just starting to get busier when we left. Great Resort if your not a terribly picky person! Buffets were very good ( as good as a buffet can be at an all inclusive ). . Rooms all getting a little rough around [... read more] the edges. Very disappointed in the fact that most rooms dont have balconies and that the rooms are a little small, but on the plus side it forced us to get up and get out of the room early and enjoy the day more. Also allowed us to get a lounger by being out early(7-8am) if it wasnt for that your wandering around aimlessly looking for a place to sit down. I complained to the concierge and she said it has always been a problem!! I told her that there is two very simple solutions... 1. GET MORE CHAIRS! There is plenty of room on the pool deck and beach to place more chairs. I cant imagine the situation in high season! 2. - enforce their own rules for not saving the chairs for so long. I saw no staff ever take a towel off a chair even after chairs sitting all day ( 8hrs) with no one using them and other people with no place to sit. The buffet in the morning was a little slow getting a server to bring you coffee or water but not a huge deal. Coffee station in the lobby was a huge plus for us! Those were my only complaints. Everything else was great! Great service. The bartenders are very friendly and quick to get you a drink. At every bar! Servers are very attentive , especially being there 2 weeks, they would bring us our "usual " without even asking. Canned beer everywhere and not draft was a huge bonus , and surprise , for me. Doesnt matter how good the draft is when its served in those detergent smelling plastic cups. Also bottled water was always available every where. My wife only drinks champagne and red wine and both were very pleasing to her and she is kind of fussy! But the highlight of our stay was the Italian A la carte restaurant. Amazing meals!!!! Our server Juan was probably the best waiter we have ever had at any restaurant in our lives!! We were fortunate enough to get in 3 times and each meal was better than the last. Cant say enough good things. I would definitely recommend this resort.

Riu Flamingos: Good resort

Garden and beach location is nice.Had a good time on beach. Foam party in pool was amazing so much fun.Nightly entertainment was really good. Variety of entertainment program.Al carte needs improvement. It is not Al carte it is buffet style. Same menu each day .Really disappointed.

Flamingo Vallarta: Average

Rooms need maintenance! Chamber maid wasn’t the best.We went in after she was done. We were greeted by a clump of hair(not mine) also in the bathroom wasn’t clean.I would check in on your chambermaids.I have worked in this field. Keep them on their toes. The kitchen staff plus bar staff. They were amazing! It made our visit memorable.

Armony Marival Resort and Spa Punta de Mita: One of the best resorts I've been to

We have been travelling to Puerto Vallarta for over ten years, and this is one of the top resorts we have stayed at. While check in and the room is a bit underwhelming, the rest of our stay was amazing. Food was great overall, most staff were very friendly and helpful and the wellness activities were unique and worthwhile. The resort has a beautiful beach and several pools with plenty of deck space to enjoy the sunrise and sunset.

Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa: Small Pool

Actually were upgraded to the Secrets side which is the adult side and in the shade all day the swim up rooms. The pool areas were quite small for a resort of this size and were crowded. No shuttle back to the airport was provided.
