Riu Vallarta: Palm Tree Paradise

We had a wonderful stay at RIU Vallarta. Excellent food, endless entertainment by enthusiastic and friendly staff and the rooms (adjoining) were well stocked, immaculately clean and serviced every day.

Riu Vallarta: Sun, Sea and Pool Meca

RIU Vallarta was fabulous!! The hotel is spotless and constantly being cleaned and maintained. So so we’ll run by friendly helpful and energetic staff. We loved our stay and would highly recommend it to friends and family. The food, drinks and entertainment was generous, tasteful and beautiful presented.

Riu Flamingos: Best place to vac

We love the location, sandy Beach and the layout 😍 of the resort. The dining was elegant and food was really good. We love the entertainment especially the foam party and all white party. They could upgrade the gym a bit though. All over I will go there again.

Canto Del Sol: Not a 4Star

The lobby and lounge area had no A/C. It was very uncomfortable due to the heat and humidity. The food was very simple with nothing that really stood out. When we first checked in, they put us in the old part of the resort which was not shown on the website. The room was very small and dated. I went to the desk and asked to be upgraded , which cost an extra 600 pesos per night. On the positive side the staff were very nice, and the specialty restaurants were very good.

Villa del Palmar Beach Resort: Villa del Palmar Puerto Vallarta simply nice

Very well organized resort, food delicious and various, and services are perfect. The people are friendly and accurate. Good location you can travel by bus and taxi. La ISLA shopping center is steps away.

Riu Vallarta: Great Hotel - Great Value

Excellent stay - the recent renovations have updated the hotel beautifully. Good value for money and consistent good standard of service, food, drinks and entertainment. Will most definitely be returning to this resort

Crown Paradise Club: Great budget/kid friendly resort

Overall I would give this resort a 3.5/5. Pros: friendly staff, great beach, could always find chairs by the bigger pools and beach, spacious rooms, all pools were good size for kids, food wasn’t 5 stars but you could usually find something you like! Cons: small and uncomfortable beds, bar hours/supplies (kept running out of light beer and champagne, smell in bathroom was atrocious, not enough seating around the kids pool, seemed short staffed especially at the bars, and I don’t unde [... read more]rstand the need for an adults only pool on such a kid friendly resort when the adults only resort is right next door, use the space for something else lol I wouldn’t go back to this resort BUT if you’ve booked it, don’t regret it. Vacations are what you make them and we had a blast at this resort.

Hilton Vallarta Riviera Resort: Stars were missing

We stayed at the Hilton in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We expected our stay at this hotel to be much like the Hiltons we have stayed at before, but it was not. We had booked a King suite with a desk but ended up adding on $800 to get upgraded to the room with a table much like a desk 🤷🏼‍♀️ and a hot tub on the patio. Our mini bar only had beer for alcohol and a few pop and water and the couple of bags of chips for snacks 🤷🏼‍♀️ but here’s the kicker the doors don’t lock p [... read more]roperly??? We had to move rooms only to figure out that the all rooms have this problem. Once shut they appear to be shut but they aren’t you must slam the door for it to lock. Kinda crazy if you expect 4 plus stars with issues like this??? The hotel was much older than it appears to be in pictures as well. We asked for them to come by and fix the leaking mini bar fridge but that never happened 🤷🏼‍♀️ the pools weren’t clean and both of us really felt they were needing some real 🧼 cleaning!!! Don’t expect much from this hotel because expect for a few staff this place was a maybe 3 star experience.

Riu Palace Pacifico: Great resort

Beautiful Colonial structure on quaint beach front. Impressive main hall to welcome all guests. Restaurants were had easy access on both sides of the semi circular building. Rooms were spacious and well kept. Main buffet was always well stocked and appealing. My wife and always ñ were celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary and we were disappointed by the measly dish with four very small pastries Management sent to the room. Not even a bottle of cheap champagne?

Riu Vallarta: Good resort

The resort was beautiful & most of the staff were excellent. There are a couple of problems. To many locals are being allowed on the resort. There management needs to improve. Also the Riu resorts do not take American dollars. Very upset. Will not return to that particular resort.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: A good resort.

Good clean resort. Some buildings are older and some newer. Food isn't the best but it's ok. A la cartes are better. Four pools to choose from including an adult only pool. It is right on the beach and the ocean is fantastic to swim in. Mostly attended by Mexican families when we went in May. A lot of Canadians come here in late and earlier in the year. More restaurants bars etc. are open during this time of year. We have been here five times now and look forward to returning again.

Riu Vallarta: Mostly good but some issues

Pros: The hotel is beautifully. The staff amazing. Everything was spotless… they were constantly cleaning. Food was very good. Specialty restaurants were excellent Cons: The entertainment was terrible. There were a couple shows that were good but they were once a week. The local bands were great… everyone up dancing! But again twice a week. The other nights there was nothing. Every Friday there is a big RIU party but it is next door at the Jalisco. Extremely crowded… no sea [... read more]ts… more like a rave for teens but there were as many older couples as there were 20’s and there was nothing planned for us. Some boring evenings Lack of restrooms near the pools and no restrooms in any of the restaurants. It was a long walk to the closest washrooms Elevator in our area was out of service three times while we were there which involved a lot of extra walking and stairs… we have mobility issues so it was a big problem. Lack of consistency with bartenders. Some were great and some you had to tell them how to make a drink. Hit and miss! The pool water was like a bath. I know it was hot there but the water was not refreshing

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Beautiful resort, But...

The resort is absolutely beautiful. Very tropical looking. Kept very clean. However, although the staff works very hard, there is very little friendliness. Nobody was rude, just not friendly. There were a few exceptions, but in general we made no new friends on this trip. Also, the food tastes pretty good, but extremely repetitive, and not hot. Even though it's all in hot plate dishes, it was room temp most of the time. It's also an open air buffet, and most of the dishes were not covered, so fl [... read more]ies all over the food. Animation team worked very hard, but not enough of them. Maybe 5 of them for 2 pools and the beach. We hung out at the activity pool and didn't see them until 3 or 4 pm. Very boring. As beautiful as the resort was, and has so much potential, we would not book here again.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Very impressed!

I give a 5 star rating because even when there was a problem, it was fixed within 10 min if you call the quality control rep number they give at checkin. Room: They are eager to please. Had issues with our rm at first, called the rep she haf 6 different staff in fixing it and finished within 30 minutes of our arrival. They upgraded our rm prior to arrival without us asking. Beautiful ocean view and kitchenette. Food: The buffet was the best ive ever had at a resort. So much to choose [... read more] from. An entire section for kids (adults too if preferred) thst had food like hot dogs. So much food everywhere all the time. Snack bars were delicious with nachose, hot dogs, and really really goof fish tacos. My favorite was the coffee shop. Just like starbucks but you dont pay. And the best baking! The steak restsurant... all the other food for the 3 course meal was good but didnt like the meat. We preferredthe buffet. We felt very safe eating there. No sickness for either of us st any point. Pools: we loved the adult pool with the swim up bar that looked over the ocean. Other pools filled with families, tons of seats everwhere. Difficulty is finding shade, not seats. We cant wait until we go back! No covid rules in place. Staff: Amazing!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Spring vacation

I was pleasantly surprised choosing this resort. The grounds are spacious with 5 pools plus plenty of room at the beach. You could easily get a lounge chair. The surface around the pools were pressure washed nightly and the washrooms were very clean. The food was good at the buffet and the restaurants were very good. We dined at 3 restaurants and ate most meals at the buffet. I liked having the option to get a drink in the evenings overlooking the ocean at 3 different bars. They had live bands [... read more] playing quite a few evenings near the lobby. The staff were always cheerful and very respectful. We stayed for 2 weeks. It was nice to walk into Bucerias market. We walked 3 times and rode the bikes once. The Royal Decameron is very well organized and clean. I look forward to returning again!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Family friendly resort

Great beach location. We had an oceanfront room, which was well worth the upgrade. Friendly staff, and the facilities and grounds were well kept. Horseback riding available all day on the beach, which was enjoyed by many. Take your pick with a choice of massages all along the beach. Borrow a bike for a quick ride into town. The 15 minute walk was also enjoyable for fresh oysters and ceviche. All in all this is a nice family resort.

Las Palmas by the Sea: Great resort

The staff were all extremely friendly and happy. They went out of their way to remember names and make sure they greeted you with smiles. The food was good and no line ups. The weather was fantastic. The beach and pool areas were always cleaned as well as the hotel lobby and bathrooms

Fiesta Americana Riviera Nayarit: Beautiful Resort!

The whole resort was just beautiful. It was low season and therefore there were many chairs available on the beach and poolside. Not much entertainment at night. Food was good at all of the restaurants (some open only on certain days). The good thing was that you didn't need reservations. Not much choices for drinks; we were looking forward to having shots, but none offered.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Nice stay

We go back to this resort because we like the layout of the grounds, it's spread out nicely rather than being a massive concrete building. The grounds are nicely kept with lots of palm trees! This is our 5th time back. Although we love it, our arrival to our room was a HUGE disappointment to say the least. Upon entering the room I noticed a very large fresh blood stain on the settee cover in the room. I then started to check the room more closely and found lots of little clear elastics all over [... read more] the floor, garbage, sand , dust bunnies and a pair of earrings behind the nightstand. There were no facecloths and only 1 handtowel in the bathroom, the toilet had not been cleaned and the baseboards were filthy! We had no hangers in the closet. I'm not a person who needs a fancy room but it needs to be clean and this room was not. I didn't smell any chemicals. I went to the front desk to have someone come to fix it which they did, and this time I could smell the chemicals and it was clean. We also emailed the resort a couple of weeks before arriving asking to NOT have a room with a connecting door, well, our room had a connecting door and we were kept awake 3 nights with a family next door to us.

Buenaventura Grand Hotel and Great Moments: Nice Resort

The Bonaventura Grand itself is a lovely, clean hotel. However we booked a deluxe king room, we did not know that it did not have a balcony, and faced the busy street. We requested a change and would have paid for upgrade, but they could not do it. This hotel was overcrowded for its’ size. Food choice was mostly mexican based…however there was a grill restaurant where we could go. There was always a good choice of fresh fruit, breakfast was very good. The staff is friendly and helpful, [... read more] but many do not speak English. The beach is not really walkable, full of stones and pebbles.
