Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Gone down since 2yrs ago

As usual the staff were exceptional. We found that food quality has gone down abit since our last stay in 2017. We like block 5 building as there were no children in this block 2 yrs ago. Not now. Children and partying going on till early mornings. Not all nights, but last 4 nights put a damper on previous 10 days. Still can't beat location to Bucerias and all it's amenities.

Crown Paradise Golden: Great Resort

The hotel is in good condition, rooms are largish. We had a King bed. Bathroom is very roomy as well. Clothes storage is somewhat limited, but doable. Comes with a safe, iron & ironing board. Free beverages are refilled daily in the mini fridge. Sadly no wine in the fridge! Service is really good - they even have drink service (with premium drinks) around the pool and on the beach. The grounds are beautifully kept. There are 6 specialty restaurants - most of them very good. We didn't find the fo [... read more]od at the Mediterranean very good. Things we didn't like: there is not enough shade around the pool. Our room was located in the block over the Lobby & Bar. It was very noisy on the weekends sometimes until 2pm. We heard from others that they were able to switch their room to a quieter section, but we didn't do that. We would go back here if another special came up.

Riu Vallarta: Great Resort

Hotel was newly renovated. Grounds were freshly manicured and kept prestige at all times. Rooms were very clean [Not all rooms had new furniture - Junior suite - new bathroom but old furniture, and the standard room - new bathroom and new furniture]. Food was standard buffet but pretty good.

Riu Flamingos: RIU JALISCO

Overall the hotel lived up to its 4plus rating. Food was very good and the beach was perfect. Loved that we could walk for miles along the beach. The room was clean however needed a little TLC. Service and staff were pleasant and helpful. We had an amazing time and we’re very pleased with our choice.

Canto Del Sol: Great little resort

The service at this resort is second to none. Staff is friendly and go out of thier way to make your stay as relaxed and comfortable as possible. Food in al la carte restaurants is amazing especially the surf and turf outside by the ocean. The buffet is ok. Drinks are good and plentiful. The wine was good but the champagne was horrible. I loved the late afternoon tea and cookies. Great after a day at the pool or excursion. We were there the first week in December and watched the unveiling and  [... read more]lighting of the Christmas tree and the manger. Quite a celebration. Hot chocolate mulled wine and tons of shortbread and other treats. Children from the orphanage sang carols along with other seasonal entertainment. The rooms were nice, clean and comfortable although the balconies were very tiny. I loved that were we so close to shopping and conveniences. I would totally recommend this hotel to couples, singles or families.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: 3 star

Great beach,staff,location,grounds. Basic rooms. Food so so. In 15 years of going to this resort I can say very little has changed. Same cushions on the chairs, same furniture in the rooms which are becoming very dated. Food quality has dropped dramatically.

Riu Palace Pacifico: We really had a wonderful time.

The food was very good. The beach was beautiful and the ocean was the warmest we have ever experienced. The room and grounds were very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. All was perfect. If I was looking for a flaw, the only thing I can think of is that there were too many smokers who were smoking around the pool and hotel, they limited where we could sit at the pool and beach but that did not let us bother our great experience

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Comfortable and safe resort

We have been to this resort a total of 18 times. My only complaint is with wifi. Should have in all rooms. Rooms are very clean and service is good. This resort appeals to all ethnic groups. When you are there. You feel very safe . Some staff remember you from previous visit and also is amazing that they remember your names. Very friendly.

Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta: Awesome Beach!

Good resort overall. While much of the resort is a bit run down and needs some repair the beach makes up for it - the best beach I've been to in Puerto Vallarta. The restaurants also are located on the beach with great views of the bay. Food quality was very good. Entertainment was just ok and entertainment staff were not as outgoing or inviting as I have found at other resorts. All other staff and service was excellent. Rooms were very spacious but beds not the most comfortable.

Riu Flamingos: How do you spell fantastic?

I've been to a few resorts and hotels down in Mexico... Cabo, Mazatlan, Huatulco and (a long time ago) Puerto Vallarta. Last time we went to PV, some twenty years past, we stayed at Royal De Cameron and it was a lovely experience, so we decided to visit the town again for our 20th anniversary. This time though, we stayed at the Riu Jalisco and it turned out to be the best place I have stayed at, bar none. I should point out though, that it takes nothing away from our memories of the De Ca [... read more]meron. We visited again on this trip and it's still a warm and welcoming place. Everything at the Riu oozes happiness and comfort, the staff are all super well trained in customer service and smiles are as natural as the unending sunshine. The food is just top notch, really anything you want,cooked any way you want it and always delicious... you can't get any better than what these guys serve up no matter what the claims of the fancy restaurants are. The buffets are so good that you don't really have to bother with the specialty restaurants, we tried two of them but to be honest it wasn't worth the palaver of waiting for the dish to be brought to your table... I prefer to dig in myself! Waiter service was friendly and helpful, they were all well groomed and immaculately uniformed.They made sure your plates were taken away so you could carry on scoffing uninterrupted and believe me ... I did! Drinks came promptly and they had PR men patrolling to make sure you were happy with the way things were being done at the hotel. They also had a team of unobtrusive security men doing patrols and this, combined with the fact that the entire hotel area is gated access, left us with absolutely no concerns about safety. Rooms are spacious and clean and far enough from the entertainment area to stop you from being bothered by any late night noise. Amazingly there is hardly a murmur of noise after midnight in the residential area of the hotel.Slept like a baby every single night! The gym is modern and has everything you need . we didn't use the spa but there is a free (and very quiet) whirlpool tucked inside the building where you can ease away any aches and pains. The climate is very warm and humid ( about 30 degrees every day we were there) and you can get very sticky. The air conditioning in the rooms just about manages to keep things comfortable but your clothes can get really damp and it's hard to dry them out. Maybe it's best just to stay wet all the time! In my mind the best quality of the entire property is the beach, you can walk right in to the ocean across smooth sand and it's like diving into a warm bath, wonderful curative effects on your skin and your mind... heaven. Don't worry about grabbing a beach chair, there's more than enough for everybody They had evening shows which were excellent ... Abba, Michael Jackson, Mexican Indigenous dance show, Riu Party (which is a blast), and a talented couple who sang opera. You don't really need the shows to enjoy your evenings because just being there and absorbing the energy is enough We took in three tours, the daylong tour of Vallarta and tequila tasting wasn't for me but the second tour to the Mexican Village was enjoyable. The best of all though was swimming with the dolphins, the experience of a lifetime to be able to swim with them and rub your hand across their skin , something that will stay with me forever. I spoke with the hotel's PR man Carlos , a charming , polite and personable young feller who epitomised the professionalism of the whole operation.I told him I would write a very positive review and this is it. you can't get no better than this place, thank you for two wonderful weeks, I would recommend the place to anyone!

Crown Paradise Golden: Another awesome stay

This is our 4th visit to this hotel and again they did not disappoint. This is an all adult resort attached to a family resort that we could also use for dinners etc. The staff here are wonderfully attentive. The beach area is great and the water is clean. We were there in November and the weather was hot and sunny. We enjoy this resort as it is easy and cheap to take the local bus into town.

Melia Puerto Vallarta: Great place to spend a week

The hotel was a quaint resort which I enjoyed. I loved the family atmosphere. I found a couple of the nights quite loud but not over bearing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. As a single woman I was very comfortable at the Melia

Canto Del Sol: Nice resort

Our family of 7 including a 7 yr. Old stayed at CDS Nov 25 to Dec 2nd. Grounds, rooms, pools, restaurants were extremely clean. Not much of a beach but pretty views from our room. Food was excellent especially surf and turf and Italiian. Resort does fill up on weekends with Mexicans but did not affect service other than at breakfast. Long line ups. So go for breakfast at 7 and avoid it. Only one complaint. The quiet pool should be adults only as only place to get away from crowded family pool.  [... read more]We spent all of our time here as was much quieter but would have been nice to not have the screaming and splashing. Big thanks to Francisco at quiet pool. A true gentleman and the hardest worker on the resort. He always kept our drinks refreshed. Kevin in guest services also a gem. The Christmas display was awesome!!!!

Krystal Puerto Vallarta: This resort was great, the food was not!

The resort itself was beautiful, very manicured, the rooms (we stayed in the new tower) were beautiful, marble floors, luxurious bathroom, great beds, the 2 pools were good, the staff were really friendly and helpful but the food was really lacking compared to other 4 stars resorts. There wasn't much selection and it was repetitive and there wasn't much flavour. We quickly got sick of it and had to eat out the last few days. So if you can do without a selection of food, by all means stay here [... read more]!

Velas Vallarta Suite Resort: Excellent older resort!!

Excellent Hotel location in Marina Vallarta surrounded by some of the best! Walking distance to Marina Restaurants,Shopping and Bars etc.. Nice Rooms but would recommend upgrading from Studio rooms if you require a patio and more space. Limited restaurants but excellent service throughout with top shelf liquor at all bars and impeccably manicured grounds. Hotel is a Time share so beware if that isn't your thing although we were not asked to participate even once during our week long all inclusiv [... read more]e stay! Would Return!

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Not a great resort.

Too many weddings I.e every night loud music blasting all night. Ala carte restaurants did not accept reservations resulting in long wait times. Staff were pleasant and polite. Rooms were clean but dated.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Lovely All Family Resort!

This resort answered all the needs for any member of the family from little ones to the aging gracefully ones - there was amenities and locations suited for everyone! Sun Surf and Sand! We are and will be repeat guests!

Canto Del Sol: Respectable Satisfactory Resort:

The hotel is a little older however this does not negate the impeccable cleanliness and care that is given to the grounds and common areas. I recommend the Italian and Mexican themed restaurant choices. The buffet and beach restaurant serve up an excellent selection of choices for breakfast and lunch. The pool area is very well maintained and the beach is adequate. Access to the beach is simple and walking either direction for some exercise is a pleasure, beach shoes are a good option. Tipping i [... read more]s important ,50 pesos goes a long way for better service (bar, pool, beach). 200 pesos if using the specialty restaurants.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Great Resort. Mediocre Food. Grumpy Staff

The layout and location were great for the kids. The water slide area and pools were excellent. The free access to surf boards, boogie boards and kids beach toys was an added bonus. The food was mediocre at best and there was not a buffet that was opened throughout the day, so snacks for the children between meals was difficult. Half the staff were friendly but much of the staff at the resort were surprisingly grumpy. Many guests were upset that Palladium members were allowed to book reserv [... read more]ations at the Al a Carte restaurants but non members could not. For my next trip I will spend the extra cash and go to a Dreams/Secrets again.

Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa: A Wonderful Resort

This is one of the nicest resorts I have stayed at in western Mexico. The rooms were large and the bed was very comfortable; the restaurants in the resort provide a good selection of food in their menus; and the facility provides opportunities for a number of activities to keep you active so that you can enjoy the food and drink that all-inclusive resorts provide and not feel too guilty. Perhaps the most special thing about this resort was the people who work there. They work very hard to pro [... read more]vide their guests with excellent service, they make you feel that they are happy in what they do, and they do so with humour and great attention to their guests.
