Decameron La Marina: Decameron la marina

The resort was very clean people constantly working to keep it clean. We were unaware that it was quite a distance from Puerto Vallarta which was another change in time. The rooms were well kept and very clean Unfortunately communication was very difficult as we found resort was geared to the Mexican community where it was 99.9% Spanish language we had difficulty finding a person who could speak English. When we arrived at the resort we had no one to guide us as to where to go we felt we w [... read more]ere left out in the street to find our way around no bellboy to help with luggage considering we had a person using a walker and one with a cane the roads were difficult to walk on so it was somewhat discouraging to deal with this. The food was ok but no bacon or sausage at anytime. The steak house meal was delicious. We were unaware that the shows were at the other resort which we were never told. In our resort every night it was keroke very loud and totally Spanish. For myself I would not return as it was so far from Puerto Vallarta

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: New Management brings the goods

We have been to this property three times, most recently last year when the experience was quite poor. The prior manager whom we met to talk about our issues was a disappointment to say the least we decided to try one last time given new management. The new manager is Mexican and has instilled a new vibe with happy employees and superb service The food was improved and the staff were wonderful. We will go back. It wasca great week. Now if you can get Air Canada to provide anythi [... read more]ng resembling good service that would earn you a Nobel Prize. They canceled our return flight as we were boarding and put us up in a simply terrible place (Friendly) for the night. It ruined the whole week.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great Resort

This was my second time in 8 years to this resort. It was clean, updated, the staff were friendly and helpful when needed. the wifi - sucked!!!! I was disappointed in the A la carte restaurants. there were 5 and often not even one was open or available. you have to be online or in line personally to book a dinner reservation @ 8:00 am in the morning. it was the luck of the draw after that! Not a great way to ensure people get a dining experience. I am not going to recommend this reso [... read more]rt. :(

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: Krystal Altitude Vallarta

Was a beautiful resort and we are looking forward to going back again next year. Staff are lovely! Rooms were very clean and we had a swim up room which we loved. Waiter staff around the pool were so friendly And hard working.

Melia Puerto Vallarta: Great Family Resort!

A bit aged, but the grounds are impressive, huge pool area, friendly service and activity staff, nice beach area. We had 2 separate leaks in our room during our stay (fixed) and there are only 2 outlets in the room, not ideal.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Still okay for trip 7

This was our 7th trip to this resort in the past 19 years and we stayed two weeks. Sunwing no longer has a rep there so you are on your own to get information. There have been a few changes even since our last trip there about 4 years ago. The beach club was sold and Decameron purchased two hotels a little further down the beach towards town. They also replaced the garden with a very large grass roof structure for bus reception and combined Cocos 2&5 bar and restaurant. Employees seem ne [... read more]w and not as happy as on previous trips. Wait staff in the dinning room were fairly good at snatching dirty plates but failed at coffee, tea and water refills. Room cleaners did their job well. Towel supply was a bit spotty as we were shorted towels a couple of times. Food quality at this hotel over the years has generally increased with every visit. It was disappointing to me to see that this time the quality has gone back to fewer choices and cheaper cuts of meat. We did okay with the usual rice and beans stuff but there wasn't much for variety this round. The tortilla soup, my favorite, was never on the buffet. The a-la-cart was okay but booking it was a nightmare. The booking system would NEVER let you book. We had to complain to the manager who "squeezed" us in to get there. Covid measures during our time there were almost not existent. Saw signs but they were ignored. Food prep wore masks as expected but very few others. Enjoyed the sunshine as the weather was perfect as usual.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Great time - will come again.

This will be our 6th time visiting. They hotel has made some really great improvements in terms of getting their hotel updated. I'm happy there's no smoking on the resort as it was a problem back then. Staff is always friendly and hardworking. I wish they didn't have to push the Paladium Travel Club so much. That was the only drawback, but they do it every time so it wasn't a surprise. I found that most of the agents weren't so pushy this year, so that was nice. Food was a bit lower [... read more] in quality. Family Club is the way to go

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Most good

2 week vacation in March 2023. Was there in 2020 just before pandemic. Flew Sunwing. New Max8 737 but has no on-plane wifi or entertainment. Bring your own. Beach in front of Los Cocos almost non-existent now (NOT like in the picture) but the rest of the 2 mile long beach is still very nice. It was wonderful that you can use La Marina/ Isla Coral for food/ drink & beach chairs. This was our deciding factor on going here again. 1-1/2 to 2 hour bus ride to resort (yuck). Use [... read more] the airport bathroom and buy any refreshments from Oxxo in the airport parking lot before leaving. Check-in can be slow depending on how many others were on your bus. English rare at the front desk all the time, but the employees try. Building 4 has lots of steps, far from the beach and not all rooms have view of beach from balcony Busy roadway on backside, but overall quiet compared to many complaints heard from lower units and La Marina/ Isla Coral resorts. Large rooms. Outdated lock & key system and may want to bring a powerbar if you need extra plugins. Food & drink - Enough variety provided between the 3 resorts. La Bamba at building 4 not open for breakfast anymore (too bad). Not impressed with the a la cart's and only used once. Liquor lineups not bad and no complaints on brands or watering down. Beach & activities. Quiet enough weekdays with more sellers than beachgoers. Weekends very busy with 1,000's of locals. Entertaining, but very noisy, even at the resorts. Get your beach chair early. Everyone ignores new no-smoking law. Guayabitos/ La Peneda - Nice walk along one main street but like most areas, watch your step on uneven and holey sidewalks. Most garbage bins overflowing and could benefit with a pickup more than once a year. Large market in La Peneda on Thursdays with venders selling both old and new. Really enjoyed it but a long walk to get there. Monday market at Guayabitos is small with very few deals found. Always felt very safe. I had an issue with swelling bug bites and Kenia helped me find Benadryl at a local pharmacy. Nobody else I encountered had any bites. Very strange. Checkout & Airport. Checkout okay. Bus ride okay. Daytime this trip. Outside Puerto Vallarta is a dumping ground. Stock up on food & snacks even the night before departure. Airport pricing is stupid - 300 pesos for a burger. No water bottle filling and buying a bottle starts at 190 pesos. Overall value - This was best price found over all others for this time period and we knew the beach was very nice. Recommend only if budget is the deciding factor. Will I go there again? Doubt it.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Mexico stay

Resort has not changed in 20 years. Rooms are dated but clean .Food is fine with a variety for everyone. Making restaurant reservations is not an easy process. Wifi is limited to nil. Pools and beaches are clean and friendly.

Flamingo Vallarta: Get what you pay for.

We enjoyed the hotel and requested tortillas at most meals to make into tacos. New beds were arriving. Hotel could use some maintenance. Don't check out until last minute to get most of all inclusive.

Riu Flamingos: Fantastic week at RIU Jalisco

We're not resort people, but would go back in a heartbeat! Hotel rooms are spacious, beds are super comfortable, lights, toilet and shower are in excellent condition, mini bar was restocked every other day! Loved the view from from 4162 - great balcony with built in drying rack. In fact, bonus points for the awesome foldaway drying rack. We're vegetarian and were delighted with the food options. What a perk to be able to have daytime access to the sister hotel that was just two doors away. Fa [... read more]ntastic beach for hours and hours of walking. Super easy to rent a car through Alamo - which they brought to the hotel. We drove ourselves to Sayulita for the day. Didn't do any paid day trips, but heard good things. Kudos to RUI for the endless eco efforts: no straws, reusable cups and plates, great signage in rooms that encourages re-use of sheets and towels in order to waste less water and electricity. LOVVVVVVED the non-smoking policy!!!!!!! Only downside: every time we went to dining rooms there were dirty tables and drink service was slowwwwww. Seems like bars and restaurants were understaffed. But we would still go back and recommend the property to everyone.

Buganvilias Resort: Just an Ok resort!

The resort was well maintained and very clean. The staff was friendly and welcoming most of the time. Although we will not be returning again. Pool was bath water warm, very uncomfortable to swim in. Pillows and bedding were lumpy and rough. Beach loungers were almost all broken, beach area is small and usually not cleaned or maintained daily. It definitely needs more attention. Location was good. Food good. Other than that, nothing special.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Wonderful resort

The Krystal Grand at Puerto Vallarta is a wonderful hotel -very clean -excellent service -food was great -the breakfast buffet with their assortment of fresh fruit and omelettes made to order was a wonderful way to start the day. We had upgraded to a swim out and would highly recommend this. The concierge made sure we had beach chairs where ever we wanted, reservations for dinner etc

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Excellent resort

The grounds and pool were immaculate. The staff were very helpful and friendly. There was lots of choice for meals and entertainment. The spa service was amazing. Would definitely recommend staying at Krystal Grand. It is close to Buceria to walk or taxi to.

Riu Flamingos: Great resort!

This property was good for us, we stayed March 5-12 2023 and had nothing really to complain about. The first night our room had some issues which were taken care of then we could simply enjoy our week. Food and grounds were perfect and pools were nice and relaxing, not cold or hot. Good times had by all.

Fiesta Americana Riviera Nayarit: Will definitely stay again!

We had a fabulous week stay at the Wyndham Alltra Resort March 6-13th, 2023. Everything from the room to the service we received from the staff was perfect! We had 2 little issues in the room with one of the sink taps and the wall magnifying mirror that was taken care of immediately which was so appreciated. The buffet and different al e cart restaurant food was not over the top amazing but very good. Would definitely recommend this resort!

Plaza Pelicanos Club: Well worth the money

The hotel is right in town so it os easy to get anywhere. I felt very safe there at all times. The staff is all unbelievably friendly and accommodating. Both pools were always clean and the grounds were well taken care of. The rooms were fine, nothing fancy but you're o ny there to sleep and shower anyways. I would recommend this anyone

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: The best 8 day stay

Krystal Altitude was an incredible 8 day stay. I booked through Air Canada and all of the resort staff were incredibly accommodating, friendly and eager to help and ensure my stay was good. The buffet has good options and the food was good. My room was clean and bed was comfortable. Mini fridge restocked daily and the beach was steps away from the pool and hotel rooms. The location is fantastic, you can easily walk to the marina in less then 15 minutes, Walmart in 20, the main road to catch a bu [... read more]s in 5. The pool chairs do fill up quickly, however I never had a problem finding a chair at the pool or beach regardless of the time of day that I went. I think for larger groups you might have trouble finding 4+ chairs together if you are going later then 8 or 9 am and before 2pm. There was some complaints from other guest that I heard, but in my opinion some people are impossible to please regardless. I heard comments like there was no bacon left and the steak didn't taste like at home. Is this really a priority or the reason why you visit Mexico? Anyways, back to my recommendation... Definitely book at Krystal Altitude.

Paradise Village Puerto Vallarta: Paradise Village

1. The beds are super hard. They are not good for side sleepers. 2. While buffet quality is OK and not busy at anytime due to small numbers of all inclusive patrons, it is very routine inspite of day to day different cuisine, such as seafood day, western day or Mexican day. 3. The beach is excellent. 4. The snack bar and the restaurant at the beach provided the best food. 5. All staff were efficient and supportive also very polite including timeshare sales staff. 6. Asian sushi restaurant w [... read more]as very good. 7. The location was great. We felt safe and convenient. 8. The connection to Le Tigre resort area was great as I was able to play pickleball. 9. Wall between rooms are so thin and the next door neighbor conversation is audible. Sometimes loud.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: A good resort.

Clean good location. Food is average but ok. Restaurants outside resort much better. You can also go to the other Decameron hotels in Guayabitos. They are a good option when roaming around Guayabitos. They are all inclusive to you as well. La Penita is close by as well. Los Ayala is also near by. Nice weather and very enjoyable. Fresh fish every day if you want.
