Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Exactly what we expected

I always read reviews before a trip so we are well informed and prepared. The resort was pretty much expected but we did upgrade our room a day after arriving. The supersaver room is super small with no balcony. We moved to building one which is the perfect location. No extras like blow dryers and ironing boards and an iron have to be requested. Resort was clean and was our room and the food in all the restaurants was super good. Always a lot of selection and tastey. The pools were super cold an [... read more]d the beach was busy but those were all things we had read about previously. We met some great people and overall.had a decent trip. I don't think we will return because it's just a busier beach than we prefer and the loungers are not at all comfortable. It will be interesting to see what the two new resorts will be like. We felt safe walking around town and in the area.

Riu Palace Pacifico: Speciality restaurant food quality poor

Pro - Very nice clean long walkable beach. Resort and area is very clean, friendly people. Con - Could be long wait for Speciality restaurants as they don't require booking. Food quality is very poor as they keep recycling precooked food. ** If two single beds are required make sure to ask at time of the booking

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Awesome Punta Mita Resort

We stayed at Iberostar Selection Punta Mita resort Dec 13 to 22, 2019. The resort was wonderful with great service, immaculate, and friendly staff. We loved the Japanese restaurant which had a great show by our chef. Staff provide great service at restaurants, pool, and bars. Servers Hugo, Jessy, Andrea, Elvina provided exceptional service. Every night the maid provided turn down service in our room and new towel art on our bed.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Amazing Resort

Wonderful food and beach. Friendly people around us and colorful culture. Good arrangement for the transportation and management of hotel. Convenient facility and interesting and funny activities with friendly staff.

Crown Paradise Club: Excellent Location

We paid $779 per person taxes in and arrived December 8-15. 5 minute walk to the Marina Terminal if you are booking any excursions. Casino, grocery store and mall within walking distance. Room was spacious with large closet, drawers and fridge. Bathroom had large shower with lots of hot water. All staff were friendly and helpful. We were on the family side and there were a lot of kids. This resort has the best set up for kids club, pools, zipline, etc. I thought the food was actually very  [... read more]good. The alacarte restaurants were excellent with great food and staff. The public washrooms could use a lilttle more attention as there are so many people using them. The pools were great. Large jacuzzi was warm with jets but by the end of the day, it was murky - pristine the next day. All in all I thought this was a great resort and I have stayed in many in Puerto Vallarta. I would definitely go back.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Good family resort

We had a good experience with our family at the Grand Palladium Vallarta. The weather in early December was amazing and we really enjoyed the pools and beach. However the service side needs some improvement, including the front desk organization (i.e. wrong rooms being assigned, extra charges added, etc.) Eventually all were sorted out but it required too much follow up from the visitors to get accomplished. The table service in the buffet was also a bit lacking - i.e. it was really hard to get  [... read more]a coffee in the morning.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: It was an amazing experience

The hotel was beautiful. The entretaiment excellent The services very food The people working at the hotel was very pleasant. Amazing experience.li recommended for families with young children as adults. It is very good for all ages

Villas Vallarta by Canto del Sol: fantastic resort

Hotel is old but fully upgraded with great shower facilities in each room.Guests must expect a short walk across to the Canto del Sol for great pool,food and the beach.Very easy.Staff is unbelievably helpful and happy to look after you.Recommend the steak seafood restaurant as I booked Twice .Wonderful.Location of hotel is great as only 10 pesos on bus to downtown a short 10 to 15 minute ride.On main street out front you will find Blake's Sports Bar with great food and all the hockey,football an [... read more]d sport u wish to watch.Also here you will find great live music 3 Days of the week and I mean GREAT MUSIC.The new owner a Winnipeg girl Meaghan treats you like gold.Great Hotel and location

Sunset Plaza Beach Resort & Spa: Stunning views and exceptional service

We loved the fact that we had an ocean view practically from anywhere we were on the resort, and the view from the balcony was spectacular. The sunsets were incredible as the name of the resort would suggest. The food was great at both the outdoor and indoor restaurants. The menus changed every day at both so there was enough variety and everything we had was excellent. We enjoyed that it was mainly a la carte except for some special events like bbq night and Mariachi night which were buffet st [... read more]yle. My husband and I enjoy seafood and there was plenty of it as well as many other options for both meat lovers and vegetarians. Most nights there was live music and Mariachis were excellent. We would have liked some form of live music every night, but we still enjoyed ourselves. We were there to relax and weren't looking to party so it suited us fine. We enjoy spending a lot of time at the beach and we were not disappointed. We enjoyed the water, the sand and there were plenty of chairs with shade. We took a 10 minute bus ride into town of Puerto Vallarta. Very easy to get around and found helpful people everywhere, no danger of getting lost. The Malecon and Romantic Zone are definitely worth checking out. We enjoyed walking around, doing some shopping in the flea markets and along the boardwalk, and taking in the culture. We also took an organized tour to San Sebastian into the mountains and really enjoyed it. There was noise from construction at the resort due to additional building that's going up, but it was easy for us to forget about it. Overall, I would highly recommend this beautiful resort.

Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa: A Bit Disappointed For a 5 Star Resort

Some positives: Lots of variety for food and beverages Beautiful view from all the rooms Some great waiters on the beach such as Edgar, Puc and Omar Some disappointments: Time share/points people/trying to up sell from the time you enter the resort: for a cost you could upgrading your room, upgrade supper, buy points for the Spa to buying time shares...it got so we were scared to make eye contact with staff The rooms were okay however the water shut off from time to time which was inconven [... read more]ient when you were showering Tub didn't drain so we were unable to use The service was very slow in some of the restaurants, on the beach as well as the breakfast buffet where it was difficult to get a refill for your coffee to having to ask for bacon as the hid it behind the counter

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great Trip for Price

We have been going to the Royal Decameron for 15+ years now. ROOMS: While they have made some minor upgrades, I wouldn't go into it expecting too much. Wifi is still only available in the two lobby areas and the rooms (while clean) could use an upgrade. The beds are on the harder side but if you request they will put a foam topper on when you check in. If you want to be close to the beach but away from the noise, I recommend building 3 if you can request it. Building 5 (adults only) and 6 ar [... read more]e farther back from the beach but offer a more quiet space. Pool 1 is the party pool so if you are looking for that, building 1 or 2 is the place for you. FOOD: Hit and miss, some you want to go back for seconds, others you don't finish. They have reservations at numerous dinner spaces if you don't want to do the buffet. I highly recommend the Japanese restaurant, our favourite. Snack bar is always stocked with fresh chips and guac. ENTERTAINMENT: We have been to a variety of locations throughout Mexico and the entertainment crew here is by far the best. They practice every day for 5+ hours, have a large amphitheatre for performances and between the costumes and talent they are always amazing to watch. They also have a variety of shows so if you are staying more than 1 week you will likely not see the same one twice. While the shows are always family friendly, they do start a 9:30pm so keep in mind if you have young kids. They also have different activities throughout the day that you can participate in and a kids club program for the young ones. SERVICE: All members of staff that we interacted with, from maids and groundskeepers to management at check in, they are ALL very friendly and will do their best to accommodate your requests. In the end it is not the most luxurious place so if you are looking for that go elsewhere. If you're looking for a place that is budget friendly that still offers you a relaxing enjoyable trip, or if you are a family, this is a perfect place.

Riu Flamingos: Amazing resort

No complaints, I enjoy every minute I was there, we would definitely love to go back.the food ,shows, people were just amazing, the staff were constantly fulfilling their duties and responsibilities.this is one of best vacations I went on .

Grand Palladium Vallarta: More than you pay for!

We normally travel as a foursome, and generally try to pick a reasonably priced 3 to 4 star resort. We felt a little excited about the Grand Palladium Vallarta, because it's normally not in our price range. When we arrived at the resort we were welcomed with a nice refreshing minty drink. I was struck by how beautiful and spacious the lobby was. Check in was very quick and easy, and the concierge was very informative. The grounds are very nicely landscaped and full of wildlife. We saw iguanas, s [... read more]kunks, birds, lizards and even a bunny from our balcony. There are a lot of stairs in this resort, but there are also pathways. The pathways may take a little more of a circuitous route but would be good for anyone who has reduced mobility. I would not recommend this resort for anyone who is mobility impaired. We tried the activities pool on the first day. On our second day at the resort I spent about 20 minutes blowing up my floating lounger, and then I was informed there were no pool floaties allowed in any of the pools. I was very disappointed that this had not been addressed in any of the reviews I read about this resort. I love my floating chair to keep cool and get a tan! We later learned they don't allow the floaties because of a space issue, which was fine, I just wish I had known before wasting that space in my suitcase. We switched to the Adult pool on the second day and just kept going back to that one. It was so nice to cool down in the pool, and have some nice conversation with other guests. It was especially nice not to have children around. I did note that the adult pool is not cleaned very well. We advised the server at the pool that the pool needed to be skimmed, but nobody ever came in the 5 hours we were at the pool that day. Both my sister and I ruined a bathing suit each from leaning against the infinity side of the pool. There was algae on the wall that stained our suits a nasty yellowish green colour. It did not end up washing out. The rooms were very nice. The bed was OK. The counterspace and lighting in the bathroom could use improvement. The balcony only fit a chair and a small side table. It was comfortable for 1 person, but not 2. I loved that the resort had weddings every day that we were there. Our room overlooked the beach space where weddings happened. It was lovely to watch every night. We were unsure how to access the beach with weddings going on, so we never got to enjoy an evening walk on the beach. The buffet was the best we've ever had at a resort. We love Mexican food, and they had it every meal. My partner is especially fond of tamales, which he had for breakfast, lunch and dinner when we didn't go to the a la cartes (even sometimes when we did go to the a la carte). The A la Carte restaurants were mostly fine. At the steakhouse the meat was not prepared correctly. I ordered medium and got rare, my partner ordered "Very" well done and got medium, so it worked out for me! We tried the Steakhouse, the Asian, and the Mexican. I did not like the Mexican other than the guacamole. You're better off with the buffet for good Mexican dishes. All in all we had a wonderful time at the resort and would definitely consider going back again.

Canto Del Sol: Good resort.

Hotel room was a little under our expectations but other facilities were good. The entertainment group was excellent. All the Time they we’re looking to make you happy and feel good. This group it’s doing very good job.

Samba Vallarta: My favourite Mexican resort

This was my 4th visit to Samba Vallarta and after 7 days/nights I left knowing I would return next year. The grounds/public areas/rooms are always spotless and tidy. The dining area is also always clean. The presentation and options of the food is very good. Both Ala Carte restaurants are superb. The serving staff are amazing, very friendly and extremely efficient. All staff throughout the resort offer amazing service.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Been twice and will be back!

Absolutely love this resort and will be back! The staff are so friendly and attentive, everything is spotless and the kids had a great time! The buffet has a great selection that changes each meal, and never a very long wait at anything.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Very friendly place

This was my very first vacation. I enjoyed the time and appreciate the friendliness of all staff. My husband passed away three months ago and I needed time to heal. The staff was very professional. Kind, friendly but In the same time leave you private space when someone need quiet time. I appreciate that. I will for sure return.

Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa: Excellent value.

Dining areas good with high quality small portions ( as it should be ) of food, with exception poor ambiance Buffet area. Great viewing lobby over beach/sea with bar service. In evening music sometimes far too loud. Good quality bedroom/suites all with sea views and balconies.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Amazing resort!

This hotel wants to please you. Honestly the Iberostar staff want you to have the trip of your lifetime. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Nice pool area with tons of lounge chairs. Beach with great drink service, umbrellas and loungers. Can't say enough good things. It is also very kid friendly. You are one hour out of Puerto Vallarta but just make sure your trip includes transfers, as it can get pricey to get there. The rooms are very clean, and have great showers with comfortable [... read more] beds. The have the star kids club if your kids enjoy that kind of thing. Our son was shy, so we would just drop by to check out the activities with him. The food at the resort was amazing. They have a great snack bar by the pool with fries, hot dogs, burgers, salads, quesadillas and icecream. Special shout out to Valeria our concierge, and Gloria who does quilling by the ping pong tables.
