Las Palmas by the Sea: Excellent staff

The staff at resort were awesome Rosie the morning cook was fantastic grounds were very well kept pool areas were well kept room was good my only complaint about the resort was chairs by the pool towels were put on chairs starting at 5 am or tipped over went to the pool at 11 am was about 12 ppl around pool and 4 in pool and not a chair to be had seen towels put out and no one on them till afternoon other than that it’s a great resort was our third time there

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Third Visit - always great

The Grand Paladium resort, as always, was lovely. Grounds are clean and pleasant to stroll around. The staff is so very kind and accommodating, the reason we keep going back to Mexico. We have visited this particular resort 3 times now. Next year we will venture on to a different one.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Nice resort

Decameron Los Cocos resort was in a town called Guayabitos which is about an hour and a half from Puerto Vallarta so it’s awesome if you want to be away from busy tourist centre. Beach sand was very soft not rockey at all water was calm and you can swim in small waves which was very nice. It is a very nice location surrounded by Jungle however most people don’t speak much English even resort staff didn’t speak much English. The staff work hard to keep the place clean. Food is typical o [... read more]f an all inclusive not much variety but good if your not to fussy. There are lots of little restaurants along the beach to try if you get tired of resort food. Alicias was a very good restaurant that we went to and she even organized an awesome fishing trip and cooked up our catch of fish which was delicious. Very authentic Mexico. We were in building 4 adult only building and our room was very big which was awesome. Water in shower smelled a bit funny at times and I had trouble getting it to maintain a constant temperature but it did have good pressure. Maid cleaned room everyday and provided bottled water. I didn’t use pools so I cannot comment on them but they looked clean

Buenaventura Grand Hotel and Great Moments: Great

Excellent staff they are amazing. Entertainment was good.The beach is nice could use more umbrellas and better lounges..Maybe more washrooms . The food needs to be improved in the sunset restaurant.

Crown Paradise Club: Alot of things to do

The Hotel is nice. The food was good and there was a huge variety at the buffet.The lapalapa could use a good cleaning on the chairs. You can see whales from the shore and big cruise ships going by . We walked on the shore up to an area where there is crocodiles. The nightly show was great especially the guy with the hola hoop. The hot tub and bar was nice. Should have the bar open later though. We would go back again , next time we would take kids. It's not a real romantic resort.

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel and Mexican Charm: Very nice resort!

This was our second time at the Hacienda Buenaventura. The only downside is that it’s about a five minute walk to the beach and when you go out the front door to get there, you’re on the major road through town so there’s some noise and exhaust fumes. The staff here are exceptional. It’s a small enough hotel that you really get to know your servers, bartenders etc. Most of the staff from our first visit are still there so I assume that they are treated well. Franchesko, the senior  [... read more]of the restaurant waiters was great. The entertainment is limited and there is no disco so it’s a pretty quiet place- not party central. The food does get a bit repetitive after a while and the selection for vegetarians is a bit limited but we don’t go there for gourmet food. The beach club is on a very good part of the beach and the service at the beach bar and snack bar was great. We would definitely recommend this resort to anyone who is looking for a more authentic Mexican experience.

Melia Puerto Vallarta: Not so good

We have stayed ar 3 other Melia resorts and this one was definitely our least favorite. Had a few issues without room. Breakfast and lunch buffet wasn't too bad but dinner wasn't so good. Location is great!

Samba Vallarta: Welcoming resort with amazing staff

The staff make this a great resort very friendly and always trying to make your vacation special. The grounds are very well maintained, the rooms themselves are a bit older but clean. I was disappointed that the bar fridge wasn’t restocked daily nor was the coffee, but easy enough to go down to a restaurant and pick up yourself and bring back to the room. The resort is on the smaller side, the buffet restaurant is on the smaller side as well. Easy to get reservations to the al a crate restaura [... read more]nts which were both excellent.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: DeCameron Complex in Buceria Mexico [

A large complex with many buildings and manypools etc. The accomodation is very good - king bed; very well maintained and cleaned etc. The place is set on a beautiful, long beach strip with seemingly unlimited chairs and umbrellas and pullapas. The beach itself stretches for kilometres in both directions allowing for almost unlimited beach walking. The Complex has 5 Restaurants, 2 large dining rooms. The food is excellent. There are many performances by very good musicians and performers; so [... read more]mething every night. There is also a wonderful dance group that performs nightly in nan outdoor amphitheater. The town of Bucerias has numerous shops. There are many tours available that are good.

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: Hacienda amazing!

We stayed at the Hacienda Hilton in Puerto Vallarta. It’s a beautiful adults only section attached to the Hilton. The staff was friendly, hardworking, and happy. The food was great, many healthy options always available, amazing mojitos and no one was annoyed when they had to make one(as we have experienced at other resorts).The adults only pool was maybe a bit too quiet for our liking, but no big deal. Our room was gorgeous as were all the buildings at the Hacienda a real old Mexican char [... read more]m feel with great style and amazing tile!! Loved the details! The beach was great for long walks and had a private area where the vendors were not to bother you. We had such a great time. Thanks Hilton staff!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: First Time Here

Traveled to the Royal Decameron the last week in February for the first time. We have been in Puerto Vallarta many times but this was our first visit to the Decameron. The resort is about 15 - 20 mins from the airport but can be longer if your transfer bus has to drop off at other resorts. We took almost an hour to get to our resort as we went into Neuvo Vallarta to drop off. We took a taxi to return to the airport and it only took 15 mins, with a cost of 240 pesos. It is a lovely resort, [... read more] with multi colored buildings which gives it an authentic Mexican feel. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Everywhere in the resort is clean and well maintained, actually I don't think I have ever been in a cleaner resort in Mexico. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The food is plentiful and fresh and well prepared, from the breakfast buffet to the Specialty restaurants. Our favorite was the PIccolo (Mediterranean style, but mostly Italian). There are 5 Specialty restaurants. You can book the restaurants every night of your stay, but can only book 2 at a time. Booking is every morning at 8:30(the brochure we were given said 8 but the Guest Services staff does not get there till 8:30. People begin lining up as early as 6:30, once the process begins it is very quick. The beach is very nice, able to walk a long way in either direction. There are many lounge chairs and palapas along the beach. Suggest you bring a blow up float mattress (from the dollarstore is fine) to put on the lounge chairs as they are the hard white plastic chairs. The air mattresses are also sold at the gift shop in the lobbies. There are 5 pools, 2 are in an adult section or quiet section of the resort, Block 5 and 6. We stayed in Block 5 which was very quiet and peaceful, In the evening you could hear the show at the theater but you can hear that through the whole resort, it ends around 10:30 pm and once your balcony door is closed it is not a problem Not all the buildings have elevators (3 and 4 story buildings), so if you have mobility issues make sure to request a building with an elevator. There are no fridges in the rooms, but I believe you can request one. The rooms are locked with a traditional key that is put on a lanyard, be careful not to loose your key as you will be charged for a replacement, but also the key has your room number etched into it, so if found someone could enter your room. There are safes in the rooms, however it also is locked with a key, that you purchase for 50 pesos a day. There are spa treatments available, we had a massage on the beach which was lovely. They run specials everyday, on Tuesday a 50 minute massage was $20 US I would recommend this resort but if I had younger children with me I am not sure that they would be entertained, there is an activities pool but not really a children's section or play areas.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Authentic Mexican Brightly Coloured Resort in Great Location!

Royal Decameron Resort Complex Review We always enjoy staying at the Royal Decameron Complex as we love the authentic Mexican feel with bright colours and artwork! This was our 5th time to this resort from February 21-28, 2020 and this time was for a wedding – per my suggestion of this resort! A group of 34 of us! Location: The reason for choosing this resort was the bright coloured building (not white and modern looking), location and free form pools with some shade. The ability t [... read more]o walk just 14 minutes to the markets or 6 minutes up the hill to highway 200 to catch the collectivo or buses to surrounding towns makes this an ideal location. A suggestion for improvement: As the cobblestone is very difficult to walk on, and the sidewalks are uneven, it would be great if there was a sidewalk along the property to connect with the one further up the hill. Pool & Beach Area: Fabulous beach where you can walk for miles in both directions. Beautiful pools – especially the larger one in block 6. Additional palapas and umbrellas would be beneficial as even though we want the sun, the direct sunlight all day can prove to be too much for some of us. Another area that is of obvious concern is the uncomfortable loungers. It is a shame that one has to go out and purchase an air mattress for the loungers just to be comfortable. Check In: Excellent with quick service provided. The biggest area of improvement would be supplying the safe key at this time (and include the charge in the price of the package). We went to the area where we had to purchase the safe key and pay a daily fee - twice. The first night they were not ready for us as our information was still being entered into the system and the next day the system was down. How does this provide us with comfort knowing our valuables are safe??? Rooms: Beautiful room in block 6. Appreciated the complimentary soaps/shampoo/body wash and hair dryer. Our maid was fantastic – very friendly and quickly resolved any needs we had. Improvement ideas: Supply face cloths, additional hangers and perhaps more than 2 bottles of water daily. We each used 1 bottle for brushing our teeth morning and evening so that left no water just to drink. Perhaps 4 bottles per double occupancy room would be more appropriate. Also, an ice machine in each block would be appreciated. Unfortunately, the bedside lighting is not condusive to reading as it is not bright enough (especially for those of us who wear glasses or eyes are aging). Above bed lighting would be appreciated. Restaurants: This trip we enjoyed the buffets. We did not try to book into the a la cartes because we were never up early enough to get on the list. We loved that guacamole is now served! Also loved the crepes, although they were served in the evening. We would love to see them as a breakfast option with the addition of pineapple jam. Of course, the omelette station was fantastic. Was not so fond of the majority of the desserts with the exception of the ice cream! Perhaps coconut and pineapple muffins or mini cheese cakes that are sold in the area could be added to the line-up. Other fantastic additions would be: a specialty meat station – fresh fish, roast beef or turkey, stir fry station – with choice of meat / tofu / vegetables and sauce; vegen / gluten free / and keto stations. Drinks: Loved that watermelon juice that was offered many times in the buffet. Almost all of the drinks were too sweet – especially the non-alcoholic pina coladas. We actually went into town just to have some. They are not creamy at all – just super sweet! This has not changed in all my times staying at this resort and it would be a great improvement! Evening Shows: I enjoyed the nightly shows, but having been to this resort many times was disappointed that they have not been updated. Having said that, I did miss Grease as it was not in the line-up. The nightly show in the ampi-theatre at 9:30 is too late – not only for those who wish to bring their children, but for those of us who have had a wonderful long day enjoying the sunshine. Perhaps an 8:30 start would be more appropriate, with the entertainment by pool 1 starting earlier as well. I was surprised to see that dry ice is still being used both on the stage and in the disco. It makes it very difficult for those who suffer from asthma or other health issues to stay and enjoy the show. The disco does not start until 10:30 and consists of extremely loud music videos (with no option to change the style of music). Unfortunately, it is too loud to even carry on a group conversation. As a large percentage of the clientele are older, it would be beneficial if they started earlier, turned down the volume, had a variety of styles of music and offered dance lessons such as salsa, cumbia or buchata. Wedding: Great venue which exceeded the bride’s expectations! She said the person organizing the event was awesome! The ceremony location on the beach was beautiful. The wedding started at 4:00 (so sun would not be too intense). Following this, the reception was in front of the Tropical Buffet. The food, bar service and mic system to play our own music made it a night to remember. The most fun was dancing on the grass! Would highly recommend it. Overall, we loved this resort and will continue to return, but it would be great to see the improvement suggestions.

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel and Mexican Charm: Friendly hotel

No fridge in room, rooms over pool needs renovation, bathroom especially. Food not always hot. No ice cream. However really loved all the extra touches example, shaved ice, cerveshe, pineapple and coconut. Service was great. Staff fabulious. Beautiful gardens, pool super. Beach club adequate.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Beauty resort

Beautiful large room overlooking the 3 pools and ocean The Grill restaurant was excellent On the 10th floor is the Sky Bar with a stunning view of the sunset every night .Food at buffet was normal but at the beach bar everyday was Wings Ribs Fish tacos Everything you could ask for for a lunch Drinks were premium also Smaller resort but very nice Close walk to town along the beach also I would reccomend this hotel Thanks again

Samba Vallarta: Comfortable, enjoyable stay.

The grounds and pool areas were immaculate. Meals in the Mexican and Italian restaurants were enjoyable. Buffet food was amazing - lots of food and lots of variety. The rooms themselves are outdated but kept exceptionally clean. All staff were very friendly and accommodating - AMAZING staff in all dining areas provided excellent service and kept the food and drink coming and coming .... :)

Service aux clients (3) nourriture (3) Plage (2) nous ne retournerons pas a ce resort pas de chambre pour ce changer pour un depart en soiree nous avons du payer pour garder notre chambre pas d escalier a la piscine et de rampe a la piscine pour personne agee

Riu Flamingos: Great vacation spot.

The resort was overall very good. The grounds were beautiful and there were many great areas to chill out. No shortage of chairs at the beach or pool. The food was great and we enjoyed all the al la carte restaurants.... with no reservations! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We'll definitely go back.

Samba Vallarta: Amazing Quaint Resort

This is a beautiful resort. It is small and very family oriented. if you are young and looking to party this is not the resort for you. The staff are so very very friendly at this resort. They bend over backwards to make your stay enjoyable. The resort is clean. They don't allow people to eat around the pool which I really like. The rooms are a bit tired but you don't spend much time in the rooms anyway and the rooms are clean. We kept on hanging up our towels each night so that we [... read more] could use them the next day, but they gave us fresh towels every day. The food is good. There is enough variety that you don't get bored. They had fresh pineapple, tomatoes and cucumbers every day. We only tried the Italian a la carte and it was amazing. If you want a fancy resort, fancy lobby, millions of people and want to party this is not the resort for you. This is my third time going back and I will go again next year. I have finally found a resort that I want to come back to year after year. Just make sure that you pay for the balcony because if you don't you will get a room without.

Plaza Pelicanos Club: Nice resort

Hotel is nice for an older place.and staff is excellent. Lots of rocks on the beach if your walking on the beach. It was cleared near the hotel. Only thing it is missing is a workout gym on the property. All rooms should have balconies. Eating areas were clean and loved the made to order omelettes in the morning. All fresh fruits and vegetables were available. It's a 35 minute walk to the downtown area. Airport is 10 minutes drive .

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Good time

The food was average, service was great, activity people were fantastic, Fernando is the best and Antonio the server was great! Activity people all need to be on the same page about rules and guidelines, they would all say something different. Rooms were ok, maintenance needed to come faster and under the beds need to be cleaned out. Would recommend for a family only. No nightlife for young people.
