Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Wonderful Resort!

The food, pool and beach was perfect for our family of 4. Jorge the actives leader was so much fun. The fish taco restaurant was amazing and all the staff were incredible. Special thanks to Axel, Jesus, Ramone, and so many more! We will be back next year.

Las Palmas by the Sea: At Home in Puerta Vallarta

The massive conical cane-made lobby and dining rooms impress, as does the service. Surrounded and towered over by tall palm trees (and two actually in the centre of one of the pools), Las Palmas is a people- oriented hotel in many ways. This resort is a jewel that outshines the surrounding, towering resorts.

Fiesta Americana Riviera Nayarit: Amazing resort

Everything about the resort was above and beyond what we hoped for. It was clean and staff were very helpful and friendly. Food was also great! We would recommend this place and look forward to returning.

Tropicana Hotel: Location, Location, Location

I will start my review with the positives charming older hotel, clean, very nice friendly staff.We had booked a superior room because it had a balcony we had a great ocean view. The location is great we love staying in old town as it is within walking distance of restaurants, bars, shops. What we didn’t know was that our room was an adjoining room. There were guests in the adjoining room and u could hear everything from coughing to sneezing to conversation. Another negative is there is no fridge [... read more] or ice available at the hotel so we had to buy a cooler, ice and water.We stayed for 2 weeks so the cost did add up. The beach is very nice they have palapas and umbrellas but old wooden chairs that lounge back are rickety and not maintained. They should probably be thrown into a bonfire.It also is a public beach so u may have a great ocean until about noon people come and set up. The pools are heated it is a small area really cramped. This hotel could be so much better with some improvements .

Riu Palace Pacifico: Beautiful Vacation Spot

My daughter and I certainly had a wonderful time. The grounds were lovely The bedroom was comfortable and spacious. The food at the daily buffet was all anyone could ask for. A great array of food. We also tried the steak and lobster at the steak restaurant. The Mexican restaurant was very good. We loved the Crystal restaurant as well. The last night we went to the Asian restaurant for a nice meal. The entertainment at night was a little lacking but we heard the light show was terrific at the J [... read more]alisco Everyday we enjoyed walking on the beach and drinks and swimming in the pool. We even walked to the Riu Vallarta the sister hotel and enjoyed lunch there. It was a very warm and relaxing holiday. Thank you to Kevin from Trip Central for helping us book our flights and holiday

Decameron Isla Coral: Loved this resort

The hotel was lovely. Just the right size you were no more than 5 minutes from anywhere in the hotel. The food was really good and we ate at the à la carte restaurant twice, which also was delicious. The rooms were clean, a little dated. I know this is petty but the lampshade in our room was cracked and rusted. Perhaps they should replace the shade. All rooms had a pool view and our side had large trees on the entrance side

Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta: Amazing resort

This was an incredible vacation with my adult children and their spouses. My room was perfect, large, comfortable bed and I could hear the sound of the waves hitting the beach when I was in bed at night. There were five different restaurants all serving great meals and the buffet where we ate breakfast and lunch had a variety of delicious foods. Plenty of pool areas and a clean beautiful beach. The evenings entertainment was good and all the staff were friendly and helpful.

Decameron Isla Coral: Great beach & excellent value

My wife and I are in our 60's and have been to the other Decameron resorts in Guayabitos. We both felt this one was the best of the 3. I have read other resort reviews and some people just can't be happy. We are very happy with this one. Will summarize our 2 week trip in point form: Local Area -Excellent beach with hard packed sand and wide flat expanse at low tide. -Beach well used by both tourists & locals. Children were always playing & digging in the sand. At times (weekends) b [... read more]each was busy but did not feel crowded. -Blue bottle jellyfish were present this trip, never seen before – purple flag flying. 1st week water calm, 2nd week water rough red flags for 3 days - Many beach sellers present, but they were not intrusive. - In town, many shops with souvenirs and plenty of smaller mercados for groceries. No large grocery or department stores. There are more stores and some are slightly larger in La Peneda central district. - Have notice prices have increased on many items, Market items seemed too expensive HOTEL Pros: -Price extremely good for this trip! Nice feature to stay at one & play at three hotels. -Room had large soft pillows 3 per bed - Plug by night table – easy for a powerbar for CPAP & chargers - Elevators worked well, except one was down for 3 days. Fixed just before a busy holiday weekend. - Restaurant/ Buffet had plenty of food, Bars had good stock of decent products. lineups reasonable - Beach & pool chairs are comfortable. -English was spoken or understood by much of the staff. Improved - No towel cards Improved - Electronic door locks Improved – Heated pools They used to be soooo cold! - Recognized many workers working there from previous years. Good retention Cons: -Pretty hard bed – lots of tossing & turning. -No dresser in rooms for clothes, asked for extra suitcase rack. Nothing to hang stuff in room or bath. -Air con worked very well, but always seemed to direct onto a bed -Good hot water but fluctuating water pressure (on 6th floor anyway) -Had to ask for washcloths -TV only 3 English channels all of them news -Noises & music from pool area echoed up through up the whole hotel –but it did quieten down when the pool closed and after the bar activities around 10pm -No quiet area with normal height tables available at night to play games. -Restaurant/ Buffet lacked syrup for pancakes or French toast, Bananas infrequent but brought some when asked. No oatmeal (even though it was in drink form) -A la carte’s were troublesome to book and unable to cancel or change booking Would have like to see the A la carte’s more often also. 4 a la carte’s each open only 1 or 2 nights each

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Great Resort

Our stay at Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and every public area was clean and welcoming. The rooms were fantastic—comfortable, modern, and a perfect place to relax after a day in the sun. Dining had a great variety and The Grill a la carte restaurant was delicious! One of my favorite spots was the rooftop Sky Bar—amazing views of the sunset, a great atmosphere, and the perfect place to unwind. The adult- [... read more]only infinity pool overlooking the ocean was truly breathtaking and quickly became my go-to spot. And of course, the beach… absolutely stunning. You can walk for miles along the shoreline, which made it even more special. I would highly recommend this resort and would happily return!

Krystal Puerto Vallarta: Low Budget resort

Hotel very dated. The oldest of the Krystal’s Not a lot of greenery etc. we had superior ocean view. The view was breathtaking!! Very large delightful beach No fridge in room. Could not close bathroom door as frame was falling off. But shower was new and great. 1a la carte. Asian.reservations required. It was good. Italian à la carte you didn’t have to have reservations.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: A fun, enjoyable and exciting 2 week getaway

Extremely enjoyed ourselves, the accommodations were dated which added to the authenticity of the area, but very clean and comfortable. Everything in our room worked including a free safe and fridge and the a/c worked perfectly. The area was fantastic for walking and commuting around, being right in town and all that goes with that and the access to the other 2 Decameron hotels really added an extra dimention to the experience.

The singing egg lady was always nice to see every morning. Pedro, in the alcarts was a fantasticaly friendly guy who had a great sense of humor and wonderful service skills, and we enjoyed the meals at both restaurants. Our chamber maid who kept our room spotless and maintained throughout our stay, ensured we always had everything we needed. The beach was beautiful (you could walk for almost an hour to the river which was wonderful. Even the beach vendors were courteous and didn't hound you. The ocean was calm and shallow to wade into and quite warm. All 4 swimming pools were glistening clean and great to cool off in. Bartenders were all nice to deal with, very friendly and extremely efficient and the beer was ice cold, perfect. Checkin was easy, checkout not so easy, at 6:15 am our arranged departure time, we found the front desk closed. Not sure if our ride to the airport was coming and no one to checkout with. We did get to the airport and all was good. All in all we would return to this resort as we had a wonderful time.

Riu Flamingos: Amazing vacation

The Reno’s are great lots of room everywhere you can always find a spot to hang out around the pools or the beach shade is an issue on the beach till the trees palm out but for $20 u can get an umbrella for the day The food is fantastic at the buffet as well as the steak house and the Italian service was great everywhere and the app is great if you need coffee beer or soda for your room they are on it right away And thank you tripcentral for the calls before and after our vacation to Mak [... read more]e sure everything went well very much appreciated

Riu Flamingos: Good hotel but needs to work on some things.

The hotel was beautiful and very well maintained. The washrooms and facilities are always clean, staff checks on you to ensure everything you need in the room has been taken care of. In terms of the resort, there is always staff by the lobby ensuring the hotel is safe. There is programs for guest to do throughout the day and good entertainment at night. However, I have noticed a lot of people slipping because the floorings by the resort and pool area is slippery. This is supported by multiple we [... read more]t floor signs that has been standing in every corner of the resort, also multiple staff tries to dry the flooring by the pool area. Given this is a family resort, there are a lot of kids and elderly that goes here, my child slipped three times in the kids pool area. I hope something gets done with the slippery tiles as this is a safety concern (I am aware it’s newly renovated but the floors were poorly designed in the pool area) It was our first time and we were given a room on the first floor however, it was at the very end of the hall where staff goes so the noises were really bad during late and early hours as we hear things being dragged or staff talking to each other. This area of the hotel should never be given to customers because it is loudly uncomfortable. The food is great in the buffet area (chipotle), the steakhouse was great, so is agave. The ice cream parlor has a lot of good flavors. Sadly, Sakura (Asian buffet) has not met my expectations, from the yakisoba to paneer masala. The pecking duck looks and taste like a regular chicken barbecue. Overall, I still like this hotel very much, I had a good time with my family & friends. We hope to come back again. Maybe request to be on another floor for a quieter stay and hopefully the hotel reconsider the slippery floors.

Crown Paradise Club: Food

Our main complaint was the food in the two buffets. There was plenty of sides but the mains were horrible. They were either in a stew or soup style. So really you couldn’t tell what meat it was. I hardly ate anything. There was a lot of people complaining. Also considering it is a Sea side resort there was hardly any Sea food. The only shrimp we saw was again in some sort of sauce. Another complaint was that our room didn’t have a balcony. There was no mention of that in the on line [... read more] add. There wasn’t enough umbrellas or beds around the pool. On the good side, the resort was very clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: Very nice resort, spoiled by poor maintenance, uncomfortable beach lougers, and very loud music

The hotel building and grounds are beautiful. The rooms are spacious, but not well-maintained. We had one of the best rooms available, but it had a long list of things that did not work. Staff fixed most items, but why would management leave it to guests to do the inspections? The Italian and Spanish restaurants are very good. Los Arcos is poor, and the main buffet is quite good. Our major complaints were the endless loud music (11 am to 6 pm every day), which follows you everywhere, even  [... read more]into your room, and the very uncomfortable pool loungers. If you like a quiet and comfortable holiday, avoid this resort.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Not up to it’s ratings

The ground were ok, the pools were very nice but the laminate flooring around the pool area was VERY unsafe. MANY people had bad slips and falls when it was wet and wet feet. Our room was ok, but the safe didn’t work, until it was fixed, the tv remote didn’t work, until we got another one and no hair blow dryer until we asked for one. The in room coffee maker put the coffee everywhere except IN the coffee pot, we had to get that replaced also. The wifi is VERY hit and miss everywhere on the reso [... read more]rt. The online booking for the ala carte restaurants was useless. 2 of the 3 restaurants were closed for half of our 2 week stay. The buffet was your usual, some days ok, other days not so much.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: In need of upgrading but we'll be back.

We have been returning to this hotel yearly for years. We love it. Definitely needs some work on the rooms...exterior renos seem to be in progress. We will continue to come here each year. Grounds are great. Pools great. Food was better from a 4 to 6 or 7.

Sunscape Puerto Vallarta: Do Not Recommend

The hotel is a very short drive from the airport in a busy commercial area. It is dated and in need of repair. It is said that there are six restaurants to choose from but in reality there is one buffet with poor quality American style food that runs out shortly after opening, an Italian restaurant with food that churned my stomach that was only open on occasion and a Mexican restaurant that was not open once in our week long stay. There is a food truck that serves the entire resort during lunch [... read more] time and again caters to those who prefer American hot dogs and burgers. There is one pool that is crowded by 8am where there are loud classes (aquafit, zumba, games) hosted throughout the day so consider if this is your scene. Bring noise cancelling headphones if you prefer to read quietly. Our first room had broken A/C and faced the loud evening entertainment and we were upgraded without issue to a larger decent room. Unfortunately we found a cockroach crawling on our bed one night which made it hard to enjoy for the remainder of the stay. The staff were great except when it came to the cockroach situation. We asked for a later checkout which was given to us by one staff member but clearly not communicated to anyone else as when we returned to our room we were locked out and the staff were quite rude about it. The one positive is that the view was gorgeous but overall we would not recommend this resort.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Amazing resort

Very clean good food. And very good staff. Disappointed in snack bar. But a great place to stay would go back. Loved the smoking area they provided very clean. Comphy loungers. The beach and water. Where fun also.
