The grounds areas are well kept and also the public areas, the rooms ar very clean, the dining is very organized. The waiters are very friendly and very organized. The pool areas are very well kept and clean, the beach area is excellent, there is always somebody sweeping.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Resort fine, but not the Tripcentral staff person.

i would like to comment on the staff member Eliana. She did not seem to understand basic concepts of travel. For example, i told her we wanted Premium seats, but definitely not the bulkhead. So she went ahead and assigned us to bulkhead seats. I tried to explain to her we absolutely did not want bulkhead. But she did not seem to understand. She wrote back in an email that she had checked with Westjet, and these seats (in bulkhead row) were definitely Premium (??). She just did not understa [... read more]nd. We went ahead and did out own booking in Premium row 3. I would never use her as an agent again. If this is not the right place to make this comment, please forward this on to the appropriate dept. I have used Tripcentral many times in the past, but would never use her (Eliana) again. So i am not sure how i can screen for suitable trip advisors in future. Perhaps you can advise.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: A great resort

This was our second time here and we had a great time. We love this resort. The staff is really friendly, we had no issues booking any of the à la carts. The food was great lots to choose from on the buffet and the drinks were really good. We did manage to get lounge chairs at the adult pool and we did have to go out early to get them but after a couple of days, there was lots of chairs still available at 8 AM. Our room was cleaned every day and replenished with towels and if we needed more towe [... read more]ls, we just asked and they were given. It’s a great location if you want to walk to Bucerias. We plan to go back next year.

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta: Amazing resort.

Grounds and lobby areas very clean and well kept. Staff very friendly and easy to deal with. Pools very well maintained and pool decks very clean. Some pool lounge chairs need to be replaced or re-covered. Restaurants and food - excellent, and wait staff also excellent. Royal concierge very attentive and accommodating.

Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: Good and Bad

Pros: Gorgeous views from the room, not overly busy, lots of seating/lounging options, good entertainment. Resort was clean, pools were nice. Staff was very friendly. Felt safe even with the public beach and restaurants nearby. Cons: Both beds in our room gave us back pain because they were sinking. Pillows were too thick for my liking, more back pain lol. Food was a bit dry and not as tasty as other Barcelo resorts. Something I ate upset my stomach (suspecting it was the fruit). Beach is pub [... read more]lic and waves and undertow can get pretty strong even for good swimmers. There was no conditioner in our showers, just shampoo and two body wash.

Flamingo Vallarta: Great Vacation

The hotel was impressive. Nice entrance, marble, great washrooms in the lobby, grounds were very nice, with lush vegetation. The room had a great bed,and was well air conditioned. Not the kind of plumbing we are used to in Canada, but servicable. Pool was great, nicely located on the marina, lots of options very close by, not too crowded, Great older hotel!

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Good enough

Pros: The service is superb. The beach and ocean here is beautiful. The staff was all really great to deal with. Cons: hotel is old. Rooms are small for the price. Entertainment was sub par. Overall expensive for what you get so I think there are better resorts.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Great vacation

The hotel (Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta) was very nice and the grounds are lovely. The staff are very helpful and approachable however it seems they are understaffed. This was most apparent at meal times in the general buffet. Booking the 'special' restaurants proved beyond hard and ridiculous which gave rise to more diners in the general buffet. Often other areas had to be opened up to accommodate the long queues.

Dreams Bahia Mita Surf and Spa: Beautiful resort but not worth the money

We upgraded to Preferred which offered nothing. Advertising shows Sip, Savour, See which promises access to additional restaurants by reserving with concierge which was not honoured by resort. Disappointing.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta

We went to Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta in February 2026. When we got there we were giving a very small room with no balcony in the old part of the resort. The room was very small & dark. The next day the toilet would not flush, the sink would not drain. Then the light in the bathroom was not working. We went to reception & they said they would fix things. The next day we were still having issues & we talked to the manager & he gave us a different room in the main building. This room was much l [... read more]arger & had a balcony. It was much better. The adult pool was amazing. They even had a foam party in the pool. The beach was nice but the ocean was very rough. It was difficult to go swimming. The food was great but we had to book the A La Carte every morning at 7:00 for each day. The app would not work to alow us to do the bookings on it. We had a great vacation.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great resort!

Loved the resort start to finish. Multiple pools. Beautiful beach to walk. Food was plentiful. If you couldn't find something to eat ,your problem. Multiple bars & washrooms. I loved the whole experience because I wanted relaxation. I did not want to come home. I will go back again next year to Grand Decameron Complex.

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Beautiful older resort - oceanfront rooms and a great location

We spent 10 days at the FA in early February, with our adult daughter and her boyfriend. This was our second time there, the first being nearly 20 years ago. This is a very nice, relatively large but compact resort that was built around 1960 and has been very well maintained. All rooms above about the 2nd floor have oceanfront views with balconies – gorgeous; the lower rooms have larger balconies that are good for families but their views may be blocked by trees or buildings. Opt for a room o [... read more]n the northern side (higher numbers), as they will give you a view too over Puerto Vallarta town. This is not a party resort (though access to the bars and clubs of Puerto Vallarta is easy) – more a place to chill out and relax. There is one large pool with a small shallow kiddie section and swim up bar, and an adult pool above the buffet building reserved for fiesta club members (those paying more for rooms on the top 3 floors). All pools are fairly shallow – not made for swimming laps. The beach is about the best in the old Hotel Zone, although when we were there, the ocean was unusually rough and no one was swimming. You can walk quite a ways both north and south along the beach. Food: The breakfast buffet is excellent and fiesta club members can sit on an outside terrace directly overlooking the ocean. Lunch is in the same buffet area (more limited choices), plus there is food in the snack bar near the pool, at the fiesta club adult pool, and at the seafood (La Cevichería) restaurant. For dinner, there are 4 restaurants – Italian (very good), Asian (very good but inside), Mexican (alright) and the new Azur restaurant for fiesta club members (very mixed reviews – we didn’t try it). There is also a café in the lobby, serving real espresso, cappuccino…, some fruit and pastries, and in the afternoon, soft ice cream. The wine is drinkable (better than most AI resorts) and alcohol is of good quality (idem). In the evening, a very pleasant bar right overlooking the ocean serves for fiesta club members with somewhat higher class alcohol and a bit of finger food, located above the Cevicheria restaurant. In addition, the large lobby bar serves all clients with a wide choice of drinks. Vegetarians and vegans: The resort makes a small effort to accommodate them in all restaurants and the waiters generally know the ingredients of all dishes. Vegetarians in search of protein will eat tons of cheese and eggs, while vegans will go without (or eat outside the resort). The Italian and Asian restaurants are best for them, although the Asian restaurant strangely does not have tofu and watch out for their Pad Thai without the meat – they use a fish-based sauce to flavor it. The Mexican restaurant has few black beans and they are cooked with lard (no veggie beans available). However, in the lunch Cevichería fish restaurant, they cooked for us good veggie quesadillas, fries and provided guacamole – none of which were on the menu. Staff were invariably great: efficient (including the front desk), fun to talk with – great workers. You should know that salaries are very low for most of these jobs and they often spend a good hour each way coming to work and going home after long days of work. Please tip generously – they deserve it. For me, the biggest advantage of this resort is its location. You are 100 to 150 pesos by taxi (/uber) from the center of town (maybe a 10-minute ride) and, if you walk 200 meters to the right down the street, you can catch public buses downtown (direction “centro” or, for only the romantic zone, “tunel”) for 10 pesos (use exact change). Across the street a bit to the right is the Plaza Caracol shopping center that caters to local Mexicans, with a large grocery store (Soriana) and a good selection of booze (much cheaper than in the airport duty free). Sunscreen there costs about half that in the FA store. Despite the overall quality of the FA, I’d urge everyone to get out – walk the Malecon over to the romantic zone, have a dinner or two out, visit the art galleries, listen to music in the evening, etc. Very good restaurants (all with some veggie options) include: Modest: Calmate (with excellent healthy options for vegetarians and vegans, plus for meat eaters). Moderate: La Traviata Italian restaurant (on top of an older hotel roof with great views of sunset) and Archie’s Wok right beside the pier. More expensive (reservations often necessary): Barcelona Tapas (great sunset views), Hacienda San Angel (beautiful, with mariachis), La Capella (gorgeous sunset views directly overlooking the main church and the ocean), Trio (quite limited veggie options), and Café des Artistes (maybe the top restaurant in town, with high prices).

Friendly Fun Vallarta: Great Vacation!

We have nothing bad to say about this resort. Food was quite good and the service was very good. Staff is second to non with drink service throughout the pool and beach areas. Our room was kept very clean and well stocked.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Relaxing fishing village

A gentle bay of small waves heights and wide sandy areas. The hotel is a true 3.5 star hotel regarding amenities however serves excellent food and is very clean. The staff is always helpful and very capable. With visitation to the other Decameron properties in Guayabitos included giving a perk to increase variety for one’s trip. Lastly the clientele is 60 percent Mexican and the rest seem to be Canadian.

Sunscape Puerto Vallarta: Amazing resort

Very nice resort , excellent service nice clean room and very good maid service , we really enjoyed our 2 weeks vacation. This is the resort we stayed on our first vacation to Puerto Vallarta , used to be Holiday Inn.

Decameron La Marina: Amazing resort!

Rooms are very clean and fresh towels and water provided daily Staff are amazing and friendly Buffet has a good variety of food and menu changes for dinner Great beach and kept very clean Could use more beach loungers especially when the hotel is very busy/booked

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Mediocre resort

The entire resort was dated and showing signs of disrepair. Open holes near pool bathroom facility where pipes were being replaced. Drip from ceiling in buffet which became an all-out water leak and partial closure. Plumbing fixtures in our room were old and rusting. Our room required a thorough cleaning. Dirty light switches, floor, sticky surfaces, dirty handles, balcony door, etc. Food was underwhelming at best.
