Buenaventura Grand Hotel and Great Moments: Beautiful Resort

I love this resort for many reasons... Its beautiful, clean and so close to everything, everything is within walking distance. I love the shops so close by.. The Malecon is walking distance. The resort is not too huge, i love the rooms, bar & dining area, pool are all close. The food was excellent. I love having the balcony facing the ocean & pool area. The staff are very friendly, providing awesome service. I couldnt ask for better service. Keep up the good work. The only thing that need [... read more]s to improve is the evening entertainment. It all ends early and nothing else to do after that but go sit in the pool side bar. Other then that, i would definitely go back to this hotel.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Perfect family getaway

We loved everything about this resort, staff were very friendly; every area was spotless! Beautiful greenery,lots of loungers always available! Lots of great food! Lots of walking paths and close to Bucerías! We felt very safe everywhere!

Buenaventura Grand Hotel and Great Moments: Location, location, location.

Smaller, comfortable all inclusive resort a short walk from the beautiful Malecon in Old Town PV. Resort is a bit older but in great shape The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and attentive. Grounds are well maintained though the beach was a bit stoney.

Samba Vallarta: STAFF IS AMAZING

Room was BIG. Loved the balcony. The OVERSIZE KING bed was HUGE and VERY COMFORTABLE. Very nice having a fridge and safe in the room (at no extra charge). The food was GREAT with lots of CHOICES. Enjoyed the night SHOWS, especially "THE MICHAEL JACKSON SHOW". Lots of PREMIUM ALCOHOL choices. Bartenders very knowledgeable and friendly. Grounds very NEATLY KEPT. SERVERS/WAITERS WERE AMAZING (especially "LUIS"). He had a chef make us a SPECIAL PASTRY PLATE for our Anniversary then took a pictu [... read more]re and sent it to our e-mail). So much appreciated. ONLY NEGATIVES: Music TOO LOUD by the pool. NOT ENOUGH PUBLIC WASHROOMS & STALLS TOO SMALL.

Decameron Isla Coral: Amazing Beach, Mediocre Otherwise

Beach was simply amazing, the weather was fantastic (February vacation). The staff at this resort were somewhat nice and welcoming, some bartenders and servers went beyond our expectations whereas some were not very welcoming and didn't want to help with some questions we had. The staff at the front desk reception were not very helpful and spoke little to no English. This was very surprising considering most tourists that visit these all inclusive hotels are Canadians/Americans, who are English  [... read more]speakers. Food/Drinks: very very basic with limited selection. Buffets were constantly the same food every breakfast/lunch/dinner. The a la carte restaurant (seafood) was good, but there is only 1 on the resort and menu is always the same. However, you do have the option to try a la carte restaurants at the other Decameron resorts down the beach with a free shuttle service during the evening. Drinks at this resort were either a hit or a miss. Somedays the drinks were amazing while other days, frozen drinks such as pina coladas/margaritas were served as a liquid and almost warm (they were undrinkable). Room: A basic double-bed hotel room with a balcony. The air conditioning unit in our room was constantly fluctuating the temperature, either freezing cold or too hot. Air conditioning unit broke multiple times and staff having to come and fix it. Bed/pillows were also pretty stiff and uncomfortable. Overall decent vacation, the surrounding town had great restaurant/drink options if you are getting sick of the food on the resort. I recommend Restaurante Pineda or Tonita I, which are close by. Absolutely awesome food and drinks and cheap. Around ~$30 USD for 2 entrees and about 4 drinks.

Riu Flamingos: Very good

Hotel is beautiful clean as ever this is our second time I enjoy most this time.The only thing is the room were located is higher but we are at the end can’t see the Ocean hopely the next time we comes back they give us an Ocean view room but other than that it’s really nice place enjoy.

Riu Flamingos: So much Fun

All in all it was a great, fun trip. Riu staff are excellent and they certainly do everything right. We did have a problem with the room we were given, there was a foul smell coming thru the air con. and it was dark and damp. We requested a different room and were told they didn't exchange just because we didn't like it ??? A cleaner came to the room at midnight with bleach and spray, with three children in our family I refused to have them breathe in fumes all night. We kept the doors open all [... read more] night and didn't get much sleep. Next morning after a long negotiation we got a different room, the holiday was saved....except lots of little things that were annoying but not game changing. The safe was broken, the phone didn't work, the keys worked intermittently. The foam party was great, the white party was spectacular and the Michael Jackson show was fantastic. Food was good (not great) but great selections and fantastic service.

Crown Paradise Club: Great Resort

Everything was very clean, food was delicious. Staff was very friendly, happy and helpful. The beach area was very clean no seaweed in the water. Great location with easy access to the public bus system.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: 5 stars

This was the 10th time in the PV and Bucerias area and the first for my partner. She almost immediatley felt safe and comfortable and the 14 days were a joy. Enough pools and beach areas that you can find the one most comfortable for you and the food changed daily so you never get bored with the same buffet items. Staff are fun to interact with and Tony especially made us feel welcome for every meal we had in the general buffet.

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta: Such Beauty!

A fantastic resort! Extremely clean room and pool area. Very pleased with the beautiful views from the restaurants. Able to see the ocean from 2 of them. Food was very good with lots of choices. Drinks were constantly served by the pool. Great service! The entertainment staff were super friendly and full of energy. Nightly shows were very good with trained dancers. No fighting for pool chairs, always some available. Cons: No free wifi spots. This made checkiing in for our return flights very di [... read more]fficult. Had to cross the street to use Starbucks free wifi.

Decameron Isla Coral: Mediocre

I find the resort had its ups and downs when we got to the resort nobody at the front desk spoke any English at all so it was hard for us to check in. We had the ocean view room and were given a different room. The good part about it was the view of the beach was amazing the food was okay overall if I had to rate 1-10 it would 5/10

Samba Vallarta: Cozy, friendly resort!

All of the staff are so friendly, and I love the size of this resort. The food is great for what we paid, and the view and courtyard is beautiful. It’s always easy to get a chair around the pool, and the ocean is usually okay to swim in.

Riu Palace Pacifico: This is an excellent vacation location.

Rooms: Air conditioned and clean. Beds were firm and of good quality. Mini bar was stocked daily, with water and a good variety of drinks. The toilet worked well, and the water pressure in the shower was fine. Food: Amazing. Selection was immense. Everything I tasted was cooked perfectly and presented at a very high level. I was blown away by how fresh everything was. I honestly did not expect a buffet could be so well done. The specialty restaurants were of the same quality. Beach: 2 foo [... read more]t surf break. No rip tide. Clean ocean water with perfect sand. No rocks or debris. Great for walking or floating or skim boarding for kids. Pool: Very clean and large and at a perfect temp. They have entertainment and activities too. Bars: Fast service. Great drink selection. Basically whatever you want they have it. The tequila selection was average. They only had a few quality tequilas. Customer Service: I asked the front desk for many things during my stay. It took about 30 minutes for someone to fulfill each request, but it always got done. Nightly Entertainment: Average. Some performers were better than others. Vegas does it better.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Great Resort

This resort was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful. The shows were entertaining and included a lot of audience participation. I did not like the fact that almost everything was in Spanish very little English even thought there were a lot of English speaking guests. We also liked the fact that we were close to the town and could walk to shop. The beach was great, warm for swimming and fun to just people watch. There were a lot of vendors but they did not bug you, all you had to do wa [... read more]s say no or shake you head no and they would leave you alone. The only thing that I did not like was that by 10:00 am all the beach chairs were marked as taken so it was very difficult to get a seat on the beach. There were also a lot of activities for individuals of groups to participate in. Food was plentiful and a good variety. I would go back again.

Riu Flamingos: Riu Jalisco Feb 2020

This resort is excellent and provides great value for your money. Food was great, nice beach, excellent bars all through the resort. I would just like to suggest adding a pathway to each end of the hotel nearest the pools. This would cut your walking time back to your room from about 8 minutes to about 2 minutes.

Decameron Isla Coral: Don’t do it

Our stay at isla coral was not a good one at all! No one spoke English, there was no shows or entertainment and not fun to be had! We had one bartender that we enjoyed who put YouTube on the tv for us to have some fun. Later on we got in trouble by the manager saying we were to loud and it was unacceptable behavior. Yet we were woken up by construction constantly. We hated our time there so much we asked to be switched to a different resort. We got moved to la marina which we LOVED!

Decameron Isla Coral: Potentially Amazing Resort

The Decameron Isla Coral has the potential to be an amazing and beautiful resort. The beach area is the nicest of the strip, also the hotel exterior is breath taking, however the rooms are below par. We found disappointment in our room as we did not not receive the room with a ocean view as these rooms were not available due to the resort not functioning as max abilities. During our stay they were still building and setting up parts of the resorts which was very noticeable to guest. In my opinio [... read more]n they should have not opened until they were completely ready. The rooms also lacked any cleaning, despite leaving very generous tips, when cleaners did come in they often just made the bed and did not leave fresh towels or water and we would have to call the front desk and ask for these. The showers were repulsive, lacking functioning shower heads and hot water. Rooms also lacked some basic amenities such as a small fridge. Although the staff tried their best to serve us, it was evident they were still undergoing major training and many did not speak or understand any English. It was very hard to communicate with any stuff during the week, especially during dinning hours. At the beginning of the week there was very little food options and are all unlabelled , and with the lack of English we often did not know what we were consuming. However this started to improve towards the end of the week as they began to label dishes while offering a wider selection in both English and Spanish. The buffet also offers two grill stations, however no man was there to man these stations until half hour to four minutes after opening time, if we did try to ask for assistance such as if someone could make us pancakes at the pancake station in the morning, due to the language barrier this was unable to happen and was experienced during most meals. The last major complaint is the pool. Despite the beauty, we were unable to enjoy it as the water it’s freezing!! Because of the U-shape design of the resort the pool is shaded most of the day and with not pool heater the water never has a chance to warm causing the ocean water to be Several degrees warmer. All and all the resort is beautiful and has the potential to be a perfect intimate southern oasis for families and couples. Towards the end of the week we did start to see some improvements such as a wider Labelled food selection and having the grill stations maned closers to opening times. We also noticed workers working on the water pipes by the pool which I would assume was either to help water pressure in rooms or to heat the pool. I have given this new resort the benefit of the doubt and I truly believe they will work out all of the kinks and improve services with more training. One suggestion I would like to make is to offer more activities for guest. Although we would told we could go to La Marina during the day to use their non motorized sports when we did they wouldn’t have them out. Also Isla Coral has a much better beach area so it would be great if guest could enjoy this on their beach! We would return to Isla Coral and have already recommended to a friend who is currently booking her stay :)

Riu Flamingos: Nice resort

Just returned from the riu jalisco. This property is very nice. We had no complaints at all. Staff was very nice and helpful. Always willing to help and always with a smile.
