Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Krystal Grand ish

Pros Food is pretty good, no they don't have 10 restos and a million choices but what they have is pretty good and there is something for everyone. Drinks are decent, good selection of liquors ect. There are servers at the pool that come by pretty regularly. Actually probably one of the best resorts I have been to with pool service. Pool area is great. Main pool, adult pool and an infinity pool (has the swim up bar). Lots of sun shelves, chairs in the pool, umbrellas, good mix of full  [... read more]sun and shade. Didn't find the classic "chair saving" was too bad. If you were out at 10 you could probably still get a spot. Hotel is attached to an oxxo, a pharmacy, a little shop and a bike rental place. The hotel will not tell you that but if you walk out and down the main stairs you are there. The city bus (22 pesos) to PV runs every 30-45 mins outside the hotel. Cons OK I know you're on vacation but the wifi is really terrible. We were only on the 5th floor overlooking the main area and had wifi maybe 10% of the time in the room. Lobby and pool area are ok but can still vary between really good and no service. Video chats home are spotty at best. I would not count on this wifi if you need to. You can definitely hear things next to you and people going down the hall but it's not really that bad. I never really found myself disturbed by it but alot of the night activities are right in the main pool area and you will hear those well into the night. If you want to sleep earlier than 10 ish, bring earplugs. Sometimes there are weddings and they have fireworks that will scare you half to death but are nice to watch. Beach is pretty nice but there are people selling horse rides up and down it all day which is fine, they just go on their way if you say no. But there was ample amounts of horse droppings getting knocked around in and out with the waves..

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Safe place for a great time

no shortage of food variety with 6 or 7 restaurants. pools weren't busy and there are adult only pools. Chairs are a bit hard so I recommend bringing an inflatable. Rooms were quiet and the visitors and staff are equally friendly.

Krystal Puerto Vallarta: Average resort

This resort has clean grounds and some nice ocean view rooms but lacks and kind of atmosphere. Not enough spots to get drinks throughout the day led to lineups. Hard to get a beach towel on some days. If you would like a quiet, mellow get away this place could work. Anything beyond that don't bother.

Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: Too noisy

We stayed here December 7-17 2022. Overall a nice hotel in a scenic area near Puerto Vallarta. Food and service were fine. We had booked a Premium room which was a nice size and the view was very nice. Seems like all rooms face the water. We were in Tower one on the ninth floor. Beach is small with lots of boat traffic so snorkeling and swimming is restricted to a small area of the cove. Pools were nice though. Loud music from 9am until 5pm. If there is a wedding, the music continues until 11pm [... read more]. There were 3 weddings in the 10 days we were there. Not very relaxing. Would not recommend if you want a quiet holiday.

Samba Vallarta: A small comfortable resort

The grounds are lovely and well manicured. There was maintenance happening on the large pool which was completed the day before we left. It looks beautiful and we'll enjoy it next year! The dinning room was always clean and tidy. The service from the staff was warm friendly and professional. The Mexican restaurant and the Italian restaurant were fabulous! Many delicious options to choose from and amazing service. The concierge is an added plus to the resort. Bernardo was very friendly and [... read more] extremely helpful. He was always asking if he could help us in any way. Bruno, bartender in the bar by the front desk made us perfect lime margaritas and was very friendly, great service. The waiters at the pool and beach are great!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Fairly Predictable

The resort has not changed much over the years except for cutbacks in staff and services. No boats, roped off swim area, no lifeguards the first few days, fewer waiters and food staff and fewer food choices. Grounds Maintenance has decreased and grass noted up to 12 inches tall in places, finally mowed the week before Christmas. Buffets had variety but not as much as in the past. Specialty restaurants hard to book as online times are filled within the first half hour most days.and not all are o [... read more]pen every day so hard to plan ahead. Shows are still good and you could see the week at a glance. Activities for the day are not posted until about 10 am on a whiteboard so hard to plan your day. Bar service was excellent, beach and ocean are great. Beach chair saving always a problem when people claim them at 6am and don’t show up until 1pm. Overall rating a solid 3, not 4 star as advertised.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: A great vacation spot

Everything was great; service, location,etc. Lots of signage and protocols in place for Covid however guests were not practicing safe distancing and I arrived home testing positive for Covid. My stay was two weeks and I remained on the resort.

Vamar Vallarta: Vamar Vallarta

2 out of 5 at best. Terrible food at buffet. Same everyday. Always cold. Very little selection. Italian restaurant very good. Amazing staff throughout the resort. Adult pool needs re-tiled. Sharp edges and came out with multiple scratches/cuts. Resort is dated. No fridge’s in rooms. Beds are hard as a rock.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Good trip

Confusion over room when checking in, but was resolved by Gilberto, with thanks! Pool and grounds very nice, although pool was freezing for first 3 days. Red flag for most days, no ocean swimming. Food, plentiful and great selection, but luke warm at buffet. All Ala carts were really good. The French was our favourite. Maid service, so, so. Some days no towels, but made a call and it was resolved.

Krystal Puerto Vallarta: good hotel

Food and most of services were good, beaches bars and pools are okay . Breakfast , Lunch and Dinner had many options and specially all service staff was excellent. Locations is very convenient and near to all needs.

Delfin Beach Resort Puerto Vallarta: Perfect Location!

If your looking for a trip to see what "Authentic Mexico" is all about this is a great spot to stay! I went from Dec 8-15/22 and they have doing some great renovations that will make this hotel even better. The "tower" (8 floors) ocean view rooms are certainly the best ones their and well worth the money! Top notch restaurants, Cafes and Night Clubs all within a short walk.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Good hotel

An older hotel but well maintained. rooms are comfortable and pools are great for the whole family particularly children. The tennis courts have an uneven surface but playable. The food in the a la carte restaurants is good but the buffets is at best average. If the food was up graded it would be a great resort.

Paradise Village Puerto Vallarta: Amazing Resort

This resort was amazing! Check in was a breeze. Great food, drinks and service all around. The activities staff goes all out to keep everyone entertained and busy at one of the pools but if you prefer a little quiet time or like to read head over to the other pool that is quieter and more relaxing. The beach is nice and big and great for long walks. There were always loungers and palapas available any time of the day at the beach. The new Copan Sky Bar is a lovely addition to this resort. There  [... read more]is a beautiful view of both the ocean and marina from this rooftop bar. It is also close to a mall with many amenities to make your trip easier if there is anything you have forgotten or just need a break from the hot weather. We will be heading back to this resort in 2023!!

Melia Puerto Vallarta: Great Mexican resort

We had a great time at this resort. Antonio helped us with a small room issue right away and this made a huge difference. Alberto and Alfredo provided extra attention and wonderful smiles. There is plenty of space to lounge unless it's Sunday which opens to locals. It was nice to see the families enjoying themselves but it would be a good idea to add extra cleaning staff for the washrooms near the beach on Sundays. The Mexican food was delicious but the meat at the Italian restaurant was sub par [... read more]. The Christmas decorations and evening lighting along with covered walkways were a nice touch. A great location and easy to walk to the Marina. Fun trip!

Decameron La Marina: Enjoyable

The Decameron hotels have expanded to three properties in Rincon. Nice that you can use all three as you wander about that long beach. Very Mexican, and not your typical westernized all inclusive, which is either good or not, depending on your perspective. This trip marks our tenth visit to the Decameron in Rincon. The people in general and the staff at the hotel are incredibly friendly and helpful keep going back.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Mexico family vacation.

I would like to take this time to thank Heather Felice of Trip Central , for her help in arranging our family vacation in March 2023. Heather has been very prompt with her service and has gone out of her way to speak with the other family members in obtaining their information required for this trip. I have been planning my vacations with Heather for a few yrs now and have always been pleased. She is the true meaning of her trade Travel Agent.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Budget Hotel

It was good value for the money but lots of issues like horse feces on the beach no hot water in shower, no adult entertainment, caters to children but beach was nice, adult pool was fun, grill and Asian restaurant were good

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Good value with issues

The grounds on this resort are beautiful. This resort is definitely for families . There is no entertainment at night for adults. Our room looked out on to the ocean and what a view! Food in the restaurants were pretty good. Seem like the resort was short staffed . Sometimes Horses on the beach left feces. Good for what we paid

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Definitely not anywhere near a 4 star resort.

The Hotel staff are friendly, hotel is 45mins to an hour away from Airport roads are bumpy / very bad , hotel very rundown and weathered showing its age, broken steps exposed rebar ,in buildings very poor lighting in hotel hallways and rooms, furniture is chipped and weathered no dressers in room only open shelves menu is mostly Mexican, for fish lovers great, they are very agressive on pushing Travel Plus program( Time Shares) Beach is small very rocky swim shoes required, no night adult enter [... read more]tainment, what is offered as entertainment is rather a joke hotel very geared towards kinds. Air Canada rep very poor not informative or very present. Rating Grand Palladium Vallarta does not represent the other of this chain we were very dissatisfied with hotel considering the price paid and expected much more of a 4 star resort
