Sunscape Puerto Vallarta: Would not go back

Have to say we were not overly impressed with the resort. The food was average unless you ordered off a menu in which case you needed to put aside hours. If you had the patience the food was very good. The staff - some were OK some did not care. The pool was nice but the beach was only OK because of the river. Would stay further north next time. Rooms were fine, bed was comfortable. Also disappointed going as a group and all of us were spread all over the place. Ian and I had asked how much i [... read more]t would be for an upgrade and they said there were none available and yet we talked to many people who said they had gotten an upgrade at no extra cost. My cousin was moving out of an upgraded room (and had not moved out yet) so they could be closer to their kids so we asked to be moved to their room (we were moving regardless) and they said no was impossible as they had already assigned the room to someone else. Not impressed with the front desk staff at all!

Marival Emotions Resort and Suites Riviera Nayarit: Mixed Feelings

We really enjoyed the grounds, pools, and beach. However this resort is full of timeshare salespeople. At check-in we were passed along to a timeshare salesperson before receiving our wrist bands and room key - this was a huge turn-off. Because of this scheme we will not stay at this resort again.

Marival Emotions Resort and Suites Riviera Nayarit: Lovely resort!

Beautiful weather, pools and beach. Hotel is a little tired, especially the club section. Whoever designed this resort gave no thought to how noise carries. The first night my friend and I couldn’t even talk as the band in the bar was so loud. Fortunately they stopped at 10pm but then we had to contend with those continuing to party until 3am. When we spoke to the concierge in the morning she was good enough to move us immediately. Still in the club section so some faint bar noise but what  [... read more]was worse was that we were above the kitchen/buffet restaurant so were awakened each morning at 5am. By the way stay away from the club section if you can’t do stairs....no elevator. Having said this the staff everywhere were amazing! Very attentive and courteous.

Villas Vallarta by Canto del Sol: Small but super friendly Resort!

This is my second time at this resort and we really like it. It is a smaller resort but everyone is friendly. It is very clean and beautiful. The beach is a little rough with rocks at the time of year we went. (Dec 28 - Jan 4). The A La Carte's are amazing and the buffet food is good as well.

Riu Flamingos: Relaxing Vacation

The weather was beautiful everyday. The sunwing flight was delayed both ways of the trip. The resort had amazing and friendly staff all over. It was clean everywhere except for some cigarette butts on the beach. Fitness room was well equipped but the hot tub was closed the whole time. Overall good experience.

Riu Flamingos: Wonderful place !

Our 3rd Rui we had the pleasure of staying at.. great bang for your buck ! We stayed 2wks and had absolutely no complaints! Clean rooms, clean public bathrooms, clean restaurants.Would recommend to couples & to a family.

Las Palmas by the Sea: Was a great stay

We had a great time from start to finish the flight there and back was great. The stay and hotel no complaints. Weather was not the greatest but no control over that . The staff were friendly courtius and professional. Not bad food the ala cart was great I would recommend this hotel and certainly Air Transat to people

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Lovey, clean resort!

This hotel is beautifully kept, colourful. Service is great. The pools, bars and restaurants near block 5 seem to be the least busy. We travelled over the busy New Years week and never had to wait for a table, a chair, or a drink. We dined at three specialty restaurants and the food was ok. Beds are hard. Hard to get a hot shower.... Hallways and noise from other rooms is kind of loud. The area of Bucerias it is in is fantastic. Able to all around and be right in the community safely.  [... read more]Hopped on the bus to Sayulita. Would probably stay here again because of the location, service, cleanliness and the lack of being overly busy even though the hotel was full!

Armony Marival Resort and Spa Punta de Mita: Beautiful resort and location

This is truly 5 stars resort in terms of accommodation, food and service. Spectacular beach. It was open only few months ago. They do not use any plastic, like cups, straws etc. Spacious, clean rooms, there is few restaurants but we only used buffet as we liked the good selection, also it was opened almost all day. You must try jacuzzi! Our stay was worth each penny, we loved it! I have only one warning for potential visitors : they will try to sell you shares and they are very pushy, so run [... read more] away before they even start talking about it.

Hilton Vallarta Riviera Resort: bad resort

the hotel is beautiful the view is unbelievable The buffet was something to be desired they ran out of food all the time and did not have very many choices or enough staff. One night I had the fish it was so hard I could not cut it with a steak knife. At breakfast they were always running out of bacon and the waffle station had no staff, so I made my own stuff. The coffee and cappuccino machine were always empty I had to pay for my coffee every day but once at the Starbucks. When we arrived w [... read more]e asked about all the shelve of booze what was included in our price the bartender told us all three shelves we could choice from just not the top but every time we ordered a drink and asked for Absolute or Smirnoff Vodka the server would bring us bottom shelve stuff that tasted horrible. The drinks were inconsistent. The restaurants and bars were very hard to find within the hotel and never enough bartenders or servers. The food was not great in any of them. The steak house wasn’t open at all. When I asked for change from one of the waiters, he helped him self to a 50-peso tip even though we were not eating at the place I asked for change from. At the pool I had to get up at 6 am to get a chair at the pool there where people out there at like 5 am with flashlights to get a spot to sit. At the pool restaurant I sat there waiting to be served for over 20 min and then got up and left. When we did finally eat there the burgers where premade in the bun, so the bun was stuck to the meat and they had little packets of catchup that you could never find enough to put on your burger and fries where under cooked.

Hilton Vallarta Riviera Resort: Misleading - not 4.5 star

We booked our first Christmas trip and paid a a lot for this hotel. I have never written a review and have been to Mexico 7 times (I’ve stayed at both 4 and 5 star). The hotel looks nice but they can’t seem to make things work... the buffet is what you would expect from most resorts but with less selection.The restaurants and bars were very hard to find within the hotel (never enough bartenders or servers) and the food was not great in any of them. The steak house wasn’t open at all but w [... read more]e didn’t find out until we asked about it (even though the hotel was at capacity). The front desk was not helpful with any questions we had and one of the waiters took 50 pesos from me when I asked him to make change. There always seemed to be line ups at the buffet and restaurants even though there were always empty tables. If I didn’t ask for Absolute or Smirnoff vodka I would get some horrid tequila tasting rot gut... and even when I did ask for better vodka I would receive the bad tequila/vodka (and we were tipping Constantly). The pool doesn’t really get any sun until about 1:00 pm and there is always a struggle to find a chair unless you are up at 6:00 am to snag one. To sum it all Up we chose this resort as it was adult only and we expected decent food and drinks and they simply couldn’t deliver.

Canto Del Sol: Great time!

Bright and family friendly resort with a good food and entertainment. Great location: not too far from the city. Nice and welcoming staff. The condition of the rooms is good but could have some minor renovations and upgrades.

Riu Flamingos: Wonderful resort!

The resort was beautifully kept and the rooms were updated and clean. The restaurants had delicious food with lots of variety. They could use more servers as you had to wait long for drinks and food. The beach was gorgeous with lovely palm trees providing plentiful shade.

Riu Flamingos: Great resort!

My family of 6 and my parents enjoyed a week at the RIU Jalisco. The resort is beautiful with immaculate grounds and the rooms are well kept. The lobby could be updated but that really didn’t matter much. The buffets and a la carte restaurants had great food. They could really use a more casual beach grill that allowed beach attire. The staff were very friendly but they could use more servers everywhere (bars/restaurants) The beach was amazing and our favourite part was all of the palm tre [... read more]es providing shade. We would definitely return to the Jalisco.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Great resort!!

Grounds are absolutely beautiful! Perfect size for us. Rooms could use a bit of TLC. That’s my only complaint. Steak house is amazing and all the staff went above and beyond. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas. We had a great time.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Unforgettable xmas vacation

The resort was amazing so many activities for the whole family and well looked after on a daily basis. The food was plentiful and so many different options.loved the omelette station for breakfast and the Italian Al a carte was delicious. Beach and pools were amazing and always lots of beach chairs available. My only negative was the beds they were very firm could do with new mattresses as this is what a lot of guests were saying. The nightly shows were amazing we thoroughly enjoyed our stay a [... read more]nd will definitely return

Samba Vallarta: 3.5 star hotel

You get what you paid. Limited food selection Dirty room Smelly hotel entire Service was ok Beach is close to the hotel 90% is local people Location is ok, you can take buses to go to downtown Not many activities to do

Samba Vallarta: Wonderful place

I like that Samba is a smaller resort. It has a more family feel to it. The grounds & pool area are very well maintained. All the staff go out of their way to accommodate you. There was always a great variety of good food at each meal. You must try the specialty restaurants at least once

Las Palmas by the Sea: Las palmas by the sea

Staff was very friendly. Nice beach area and the pool was great that one was adult only. The extra restaurants had very good choices and the buffet was great. The only disadvantage was the wifi did not reach the upper rooms in the corner. Overall the stay was excellent.

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: Another sucessful trip to Puerto Vallarta

Just a short note to say we had a great time at the Hilton Puerto Vallarta. Yes, there were a few things that could be better (like most places) such as having a ping pong table and the drinks were a little light on alcohol content BUT these are small things. The Staff are this resorts biggest assets along with the food, nothing was too much trouble, service was great and the restaurants were great. We like Puerto Vallarta as a place to holiday in, we enjoy walking the historic streets of the to [... read more]wn and exploring all the nooks and crannies it presents. Getting around on public transport is great and this hotel is well located for taking part in our favorite holiday activities.
