Marival Emotions Resort and Suites Riviera Nayarit: Family friendly

Lots for kids to do, Kids club has a good variety of crafts, games, shows. good variety of food, average food, room was not the cleanest. Service was average nothing above and beyond. Could not book the restaurants as they were all full for the week!

Riu Palace Pacifico: Best Resort Yet!

The Riu Palace in Nuevo Vallarta was outstanding. We got there on January 10th and stayed one week. We have been to many all inclusive in Mexico but this hotel was the best. I have never seen such a clean resort. The bathrooms were always being cleaned and I loved the private enclosed stalls in all their bathrooms. We booked a jr suite with garden view and ended up in room 8008 top floor with a great partial view of the ocean. The food at the buffet was absolutely the best we have ever enjoyed!! [... read more] Sea food in abundance for hubby and always a huge variety of other choices from lamb, beef, chicken and even turkey dinner. It was nice to go to the steak house and Krystal restaurants to be waited on, the food was ok but we did not care for the mexican or japanese restaurants. If you don't get in on the first seating they give you a buzzer and it alerts you when they have a table for you. No reservations required. BBQ lunch around the pool daily and menu changed daily..just a little late around 1-2pm. The live entertainment before and after the 9:00 shows were really great too, piano guy before and a live band after. If you want to party hard stay at the Jalisco. You can use their resort and the Vallarta as well but we never needed to, other than to use the washrooms on our walk on the amazing beach that goes on forever. This resort is a little more upscale. Mostly age 30 and up I would say. This is the first Mexican resort we could enjoy a nice glass of white wine. It was a Chardonnay but not too oaky. Make sure to ask for the Linjoi wine as it was the best. We ordered room service which is included and it was quick too. Top shelf alcohol everywhere. I drank Don Julio from dark bottle most of the time and the servers are fantastic. Be sure to tip them as that is how they make most of their income. We had a small incident with our room upon arrival that was taken care of quickly and they sent us up a delicious tray of chocolates. We especially appreciated Noeh in the Lobby lounge in the evening as he learned how to make a special martini drink we explained to him and every time we walked in he started making it and the server Jenny at the lounge was also always so pleasant and attentive. Also Geeser at the pool bar remembers everything you order and how to make it just the way you like it. The only thing I would suggest is that they have an adult only area at the pool and another washroom closer to the beach. Also a non smoking area around the pool or a designated smoking area would have been nice too, as some people are just ignorant with their lack of manners regarding the smoke. Great vacation overall. We will be going back!

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Excellent Resort

Everything was great about this hotel, so many food options, great staff and clean rooms always. The staff live to make you happy and the nightly entertainment was incredible. They always put on an amazing show.

Riu Flamingos: Awesome resort

This is our third time at Riu Jalisco. We really enjoyed our week long stay. The only thing we’d change is to heat the pools. They are freezing cold! We went to the Riu Vallarta to see friends and their pools are so much warmer. Food is excellent and the staff are so friendly. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Awesome!

this was our first time at this resort. We found at the resort was very pleasing to look at. The staff was very friendly. The food was very good. The rooms were clean and updated. We were with a group of 23 people. I would definitely recommend this resort

Riu Flamingos: Amazing resort

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great Resort

A little on the older side, but clean and comfortable. Lots of pools, bars and restaurants - no waiting for anything. Close walk to Bucerias for great restaurants, entertainment, beach bars and more

Krystal Puerto Vallarta: Best for Families

Definitely no more than a 3 star. A little old, a little tired, but a great beach. The accommodations are comfortable for sleeping and the view from building 9 Oceanside is amazing. The food leaves a lot to be desired...same every meal and they need a new chef. Pasta and rice are mushy, vegetables are crunchy and they don't have bacon or sausage, etc. at breakfast. We ate off the resort a lot since the bus was .50 cents to get to old town or other places fairly quickly. The staff was very  [... read more]friendly and helpful but it's best if you know a little Spanish. The location is the best in the area for touring starting point to see Puerto Vallarta.

Sunscape Puerto Vallarta: So so Resort

This hotel needs a major update. The location is great. Close to some amazing restaurants. The pool and chairs need to be cleaner and updated. Please update your entertainment programs.The sound system is incredibly loud and play the same music over and over😩

Riu Flamingos: Great resort perfect for families

Was a great place to stay , not one issue with this resort . Would definitely recommend this place for people with kids. Staff was great friendly and service was above average. Food was fantastic choices were abundant

Riu Flamingos: Excellent Value

Top of the line resort for a reasonable price. Really good food the beach is Fab. Drinks crazy Staff 5 star. Highly recommended. Room excellent. Sports bar food exceptional. James Calgary. Jan 2020

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Wonderful holiday - Great hotel!

When we arrived we were treated to a drink & given a key to our room to see if we liked it. We loved it! Ocean view, large room 2 beds for 2 ladies & a couch. Spotless clean washroom too. All we would need for our week. The staff, polite & easy to make our stay a fantastic one! The pools were clean. Food was delish! We were down at the ocean many times swimming & it was cleaned daily in front. The only problem was that early in the morning, towels were being put on chairs & left all day wit nobo [... read more]dy there! Irritating! The area was very safe for 2 ladies to walk & go shopping in the village. We loved it. 5 stars from me & I will be back!

Riu Flamingos: Great Beach!

We went there as a family of 5 the first week of January. It was a busy time at the resort but everything run smoothly and was perfect. A bit noisy at time where our suite was located but our suite itself for family was just what we were looking for so we do not complaint. The beach was perfect and the sea was warmer than the pool. Buffet was good but speciality restaurant were not worth it though. I would still recommend the Riu Jalisco, for the quality-price, it is certainly the best.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Good resort

Nice resort with nice service. My room was spacious and clean. The hotel is at 20 km of Puerto Vallarta a little bit to far for me. The beach is perfect, very quiet. The food at the buffet and the grill was correct but the asian restaurant was not very good. The mexican restaurant is reserved for the people of the time sharing. It's not indicate on the website. Overall, the vacation was a nice experience.

Grand Park Royal Puerto Vallarta: Great location and wonderful hotel

We stayed at the Grand Park Royal for 1 week , it was a wonderful stay . You are a short 15 min bus ride for 10 pesos to get into downtown PV , or a taxi if you so wish. The bus stop is just outside the hotel and you can also catch the bus to go to Mismaloya or Boca. The hotel is a small hotel which was very clean the rooms were amazing , large , mini fridge stocked daily for free , one free room service daily as well , the food always showed up quickly and delicious. The views are amazing , w [... read more]e spotted turtles and whales from our deck. The waves dependent on the weather can be large or small, but enjoyable to listen to ..( listen is why we wanted ocean front , otherwise we would of stayed in PV if we didn’t want to listen to the waves) . The food was always fresh and there was always lots to choose from. The coffee and dessert bar was great ! The snack bar at the bar was a regular pool snack bar with hamburgers, hot dogs and nachos and cheese.everything being cooked fresh . All the eating areas were confined under glass wall , this was great to keep the food clean and away from flies. It did seem that the pool lounge chairs did get covered with towels regularly , we are not pool people so it did not bother us. There were many other spots around the hotel to watch the ocean ,( including the balcony in the room). We found all the employees at the hotel very friendly and helpful, from Hector the bell boy to Izzy at the front desk , all very helpful. If you want a smaller hotel with a location away from the hustle and bustle of PV but close enough to get into PV very easily this is it.

Sunscape Puerto Vallarta: Great family friendly resort

This resort was very lovely! The staff was amazing and very friendly! The beach was well maintained, and I loved that there was a safe swimming area available. The pool was great and we absolutely loved the swim up bar. We had one night with some very noisy neighbours and the staff was very understanding and supportive of our issues as we had a baby with us. The food was also great, but with a young one with us, we would have liked it if the buffet opened a bit earlier for lunch! Most of all...  [... read more]we absolutely loved the staff!

Sunscape Puerto Vallarta: Sunscape PV review

The hotel is very close to the airport; transfers were included. Courteous, accommodating and professional staff - from the airport transfer to housekeeping. As always some items are overlooked but quickly rectified, such as coffee refills, missing towels or stocking the mini fridge with water. Entertainment staff are extremely energetic and engaging. Lots of activities at this resort and the location is convenient. No bracelets issued so always being asked for my room number. Only one poo [... read more]l and it's a bit cold but it wasn't crowded. If you want a lounge chair with shade get there early! The beach is okay but this resort is on "hotel alley" which means many interruptions from vendors. The hotel itself is dated - the bathroom lighting was very poor but the beds were comfortable. Toilet worked very well. WiFi is not included outside the lobby area and is expensive to purchase. The food was good and as expected; you can eat anywhere as long as it's open (no reservations or limitations) however all restaurants are not open every day and when one is closed for dinner, you better line up early at the others. Lots of good restaurants in the area outside the resort within easy walking distance if preferred. I appreciated the daily activity sheet which outlined the restaurants that were open with times, entertainment schedule, temperature, etc. including a daily drink special! For our purposes (we were 3 adults in a room) double beds were a challenge (queen size would have been nice) but we weren't willing to upgrade for the cost. Other detractors include the dark bathroom (makes it hard to get ready; had to use a flashlight), broken toilet seat (which was replaced proactively on day 5) and musty smell (ocean view room). I was a bit disappointed at the price point compared to other resorts we've stayed at however we've always been a 45 minute bus ride from the airport so assuming location is the reason for the higher cost? It was nice to try one right in PV where a quick cab ride let us experience the Malecon. We felt very safe here, inside and outside the resort. Everyone was friendly and welcoming - an overall good experience. Would I recommend to a friend? That depends. It's a smaller resort with still lots to offer and great service but it is dated and about 20% more than previous vacations. I have no other experience within city limits to compare it to so not comfortable referring at this time.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Third amazing visit!

This was mine and my wife's third visit to the Royal Decameron Complex. This time we brought our 13 and 14 year old daughters for a surprise trip. Everything about the trip and the resort was amazing! The staff are all so friendly, the beach is beautiful and the other guests are so pleasant. It is an older resort and this shows but it adds to the charm in my opinion. Its large, sprawling and you never feel crowded. 100% will return many more times over the years.

Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: Sweet resort

The resort was fabulous, food pretty decent and staff were super nice. Issue we did have however, we arrived 8AM from an over night flight with next to no sleep, and had no room to rest in as check in was not until 3pm.We had to figure out 6'ish hours by the pool, where we ended up sleeping. Uncomfortable start to the trip.

Sunscape Puerto Vallarta: soso

was not a 4 star For what we paid it was not that great. Beds were OK Wait for just so-so food was too long. Wait was hours if you ordered off a menu but the food was much better. Drinks were good. Beach was only Ok because of the nearby river.
