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.

Melia Puerto Vallarta: AVERAGE RESORT - PRETTY MUCH RUN DOWN ROOMS

Nice location the resort is located, however the rooms are very much of a run down overall. The bars are absolutely a mess Entertainment was good, the lobby normally is always a vibrant place, this was dead.

Friendly Fun Vallarta: Average hotel, great experience

Hotel was ok for what we paid for! We had a great time. Food wasn't great tho staff frendly...DJ blasts electronic music non stop for most of the afternoon. Nightlife non existent. This is a family resort

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Excellent value for money

We have stayed at this resort 5 times and other all inclusive hotels well over 30 times. We travel to the PVR area 3 times per season. For it's price this resort is excellent. We love the gorgeous long beach and the boogie boarding and swimming. We sometimes choose a more expensive adults only and are disappointed in money spent for the little if no difference. We do find this resort not as great as it was but that could likely be due to the shortage of staff which is a worldwide issue.  [... read more]The staff is great with some super stand outs that make the extra effort. Lorena at the front desk, Antonio on the beach (when he isn't getting your chairs and umbrellas he is constantly cleaning up all the debris left by people on the beach ), Jose and Karen at the beach bar, Isabel in the buffets, Yesi in the piano bar, Rafael the restaurant manager just to name a few. All our service was excellent but they went the extra extra for us and our friends.

Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa: Dreams Vallarta Bay

We stayed in PVR during late April 2023. The hotel lobby is impressive and provides for wonderful views of the bay. However, you are cornered constantly by staff who want to sell you the Unlimited Vacation Package. Its not a time share....but it is. The rooms are a little dated but very clean and plenty of towels, and toiletries. The beds we did not find to be very comfortable. The swim up pool (also the activity pool) was filthy especially as you entered by the bar. I have never seen a [... read more] pool as dirty and full of hair/skin as this one. The other pool was much more clean, and so that's where I spent a lot of time. The staff was very polite, helpful, and always responded "Its my pleasure". The ocean was very rough, red flagged almost every day, so we did not spend alot of time there. Food was spectacular. The Mexican restaurant was our favourite, while the Japanese one was our least. We also spent a day next door at Secrets, and the Sushi Bar was delicious, Oceana was marvelous. But the best place was the Ice Cream shop. We were entertained by Orlando as he made our crepes. He was truly delightful. My biggest beef is with Air Canada, who cracked my luggage on my way to PVR and provided absolutely no assistance until I arrived home. Further the Air Canada Rep Hugo Ernesto Corona never showed up for our briefing with him, and he too provided no help to our luggage situation. Calls to Air Canada were pointless, frustrating and took away from my vacation. We had a very nice vacation at the Dreams Vallarta. Cleaning the pool more often during the day should be a priority.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Not too bad

A lot of people with kids. No fridge in room. Internet only in lobby and sometimes other close locations. Food is OK but only in central buffet little better - people after couple days lined up to enter there. Japanese restaurant not good. Tai and Brazilian very good. Italian like a sprint - "please eat your food fast and go". Italian salmon are great but small portion for big guy - not good. Staff are friendly . Tours not provided by resort, but company you bought tour and 3-4 times overpric [... read more]ed(300-400 dollars). Through airport tour guys normal pricing 30-70 dollars including lunch. Tours through nearest tour guy(on front of resort) not healthy . Girl told me do not take some sea tour because of food and transportation poor. Also mosquitos in mountains.

Sheraton Buganvilias Puerto Vallarta Hotel: Amazing Amazing Amazing

This was a trip of a life time. The resort was absolutely gorgeous. The staff was amazing. The food was amazing. The grounds were amazing. Everyone was so nice. We definitely will be back to the resort. Loved every minute. Highly recommend

Fiesta Americana Riviera Nayarit: Nice Resort but far from amenities

The hotel and grounds are lovely. I understand they are going to do extensive renovations as they just recently purchased - it was a Dreams resort. The staff are awesome. The food is ok (not great) - the drinks are the usual all-inclusive selections, however, my husband is a Canadian Whiskey drinker and they did not have any all week until the night before we were leaving. The rooms are nice and clean, very spacious with comfortable beds and good linens. The location is not great - I felt al [... read more]most captive all week. Although they provide bicycles to ride on a well planned bike path the closest shopping was Paradise Village Mall and it was very expensive and limited. If you wanted to venture further you had to rely on taxis as the bus system is not at all convenient as you are very far from the main road. The closest town is Bucerias - $24 cdn taxi ride. We wanted to go to Sayalita but the cab ride was around $100 return. Also the PV Marina was about $45 return. So if you like spending most of your time at the resort hanging at the pool and beach (nice beach) then this is the resort for you. If you want to venture out for day trips bring lots of cash for the taxis.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Waste of money

This resort had the absolute worst staff. My kids had a goal of seeing if they could get the staff to smile and they didn’t succeed. Many things went missing out of our room when we were not in it. The food was ok.

Buenaventura Grand Hotel and Great Moments: Excellent trip from start to finish

The service that I received from tripcentral was amazing and one of the best customer service experiences of my life. Ash took care of me from start to finish and what could have been a stressful experience was not at all due to Ash. The flight times were perfect and the airline Sunwing was quick and efficient. The Buenaventura Grande is an excellent hotel and in a great location. It was just a short walk to the malacon and some great shopping areas The staff were exceptional and were [... read more] professional and also interacting with me. Everyone seemed happy and enjoying their job which says a lot about the management staff. The food was good and the place was spotless. I will definitely be back and stay at this resort in the future. Extremely good value for the price

Crown Paradise Club: Not as expected

The hotel and grounds were beautiful. Staff was friendly and accommodating. We knew it was a family hotel however were a little overwhelmed by how many kids were there. We had no problem getting into the buffet for eating but it was extremely noisy. It may have been spring break for a lot which would explain it. Lots however for kids to do. Weren’t able to get into the ala cartes. Our room was ok however was more of a suite. This was in the older part of the hotel. No dishes or anythi [... read more]ng but a coffee pot. We requested tea however on the request sheet in the room but didn’t get it. We ended up getting some from the restaurant. There also was a bad odour from the bathroom in the room, and beds (mattresses) stored right outside our door and many others the whole time we were there. Not sure if the rooms in the bigger part of the hotel would have been better or not. On day two we requested an upgrade to the Crown Paradise Golden however couldn’t get in for a few days. We didn’t complain about these two issues as we were leaving. We did find the adult only pool which made for a relaxing time. On the whole, good staff, good service however the part we were in was definitely not 4 star material. Would not recommend for adults only..
