Las Palmas by the Sea: Wonderful resort!

Hotel was very nice! People were amazing, the hotel staff is very friendly and polite! Would definitely stay again. Jose and Karla are ones to remember! Beach is just a walk away and close to local entertainment

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Nice Place, Nice People!

The Hotel & Restaurants were clean. Most of the people working with the guests, speak English, which was nice to not have a language barrier :-) Food was more authentic Mexican than 'Tacotime/Chi Chi's' which we were expecting more flavor.

Riu Flamingos: Best Vacation

Everything was very clean and well organized. That includes the rooms, beach front and pool area. The food was great, there was a wide variety to choose from! All the workers were welcoming and helpful, there was always entertainment to attend. Never a dull moment, honestly wish I could have stayed longer. This was an amazing trip, I cannot wait to come back!

Grand Marival Emotions Resort and Suites: The resort is amazing with staff tended to all u need and very helpful

The hotel , room , is beautiful the pools are clean, foods are excellent variety with theme night like Cara bella buffet, so much foods to eat u never go hungry ,staff are friendly and work hard every day to provide what guests need from early morning to late at night, bars open every where drinks are free until you dropped , I like the Mexican night you can eat all kinds of Mexican food like: tacos, tostadas, enchiladas, tamales ,churos for dessert...

Tropicana Hotel: Great vacation spot

Tropicana is in a perfect location especially for gay travelers to PVR. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. I've stayed here many times and have never been disipointed

Friendly Fun Vallarta: Friendly Vallarta- Nice Clean Resort

Friendly Vallarta is a nice, conveniently located all-inclusive resort close to Walmart and downtown PV. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and the resort is exceptionally clean. We stayed in a room on the north side and on the second floor and it was large and clean. Beds are comfortable and the room faced the next door resort building so it was very quiet. That's a big deal because this resort is very noisy. There are speakers blasting on the beach, pool area and in the lobby.  [... read more]I found it a bit tiring when you wanted a quiet place just to talk and relax. The beach area is very nice and we didn't have too much trouble getting lounge chairs but we were there in May so the off season is beginning. One problem is that the resort could invest in more umbrellas. The adult pool area could easily use twice as many umbrellas. The Azul and Frita restaurants served great food and highly recommend them but the buffets were so so. They had difficulty getting or keeping food hot. If you eat at the buffets ensure you arrive early because they shut down at 10 pm without exception, even if people are lined up for a table. One buffet server lost her ladle as she was trying to serve me food when another worker started cleaning up her area at 10. If you like your beer they serve 2 types of Corona beer but not in bottles. The drink servers were great and tried to make any type of drink you wanted. Overall we recommend the FV and can say we enjoyed the week we were there.

Riu Vallarta: Fantastic Time at Riu

For my first trip out of the country, I was amazed by the food, service, room and the city itself. We were greeted kindly always and felt as if we were at home. I miss my trip and am planning to go back.

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel and Mexican Charm: Wonderful Resort!!

My son and I stayed there for 7 nights, and we couldn't have been happier with the service, food, entertainment and facilities. The staff were 5 star!! Hotel was very clean, far exceeded my expectations for 3 star. I would 100% stay at this resort again.

Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta: Beautiful resort, would definitely return!

The hotel was very well kept and clean, and the staff were all very friendly. We had amazing views of the beach from our room and there were always empty palapas to sit under. The restaurants were all very good, especially the Asian one.

Friendly Fun Vallarta: Friendly Staff and Great Location

The best things about this resort: - the staff are all very anxious to ensure everything is good and that you are happy. Any issues are taken care of immediately. - everything from the rooms, to the public areas, to the pools and the beach, are kept very clean. - location is great (right on the beach, close to airport, downtown and other areas). - the food in the 'reserved' restaurants was excellent. - staff ensure rules are maintained (i.e. adults only in the adult pool). Areas that co [... read more]uld use improvement: - information was inconsistent and confusing - regarding resort activities (reservations were required, then not required, start time was 8:30 pm, 6:00, 7:00 and finally 7:30 pm., etc.), and restaurant names were different in the brochures we were given. - the food menu did change slightly in the 'open' restaurants, however, most items were always the same.

Riu Flamingos: A pleasant stay

RIU Jalisco is a great place to spend a relaxing week.The grounds and common areas are beautiful, spacious and clean.There appear to be plenty of loungers at the pools and beach. The staff are very pleasant and the food is great. One feature we really liked is that all restaurants are available on a first come first served basis.We never had a problem getting a seat at any restaurant. We chose a standard room which only had a couple of little chairs and a pub table. In future I would upgrade to  [... read more]a room with easy chairs or a sofa. The floor of the shower stall was very slippery; an accident waiting to happen.The Sunwing staff were at the resort every day and were very helpful.

Riu Palace Pacifico: Decent, but not a 5 star!

Where to start? We travel lots and LOVE the RIU Hotel chain. This was no different - we loved it as well. Grounds are kept immaculate, rooms cleaned whenever you need it to be basically... nice turn down service. Housekeeper was wonderful. Pools, and beach areas clean. Bar service is awesome, and extends to the beach as well, which is right behind the pool bar! Waiters come serve you on the beach. Fabulous service! Entertainment was so so... caught a couple of shows - Michael jackson, and Th [... read more]e Circus), but weren't going out of our way not to miss one LOL... (I wish the violinist was playing in the lounge) not just in or outside of the restaurant... I didn't like the fact that the pool bar closes at 6:30 - leaving a couple of options - the sports bar, or the lounge, and that the lounge entertainment ( a pianist/singer) left when the "show" started, and wasn't there every night. I felt the lounge should have ongoing entertainment for people who wanted to just chill and have some drinks. The buffet food was 3 star at best - very repetitive ALL week ( we were there for 2) and although you could always find something good to eat, it was not anything outstanding. I have to mention the Alonsio, our favorite server was amazing, however... the best server we have ever had! Look for him - his section is the one closest to the pasta station/ soup bread area. He's the best! The room was pretty nice, we were in an "oceanview junior" suite that also had a jetted tub. Problem was the tub was super narrow, and I am not a big girl, and essentially the whole jetted tub experience was non existent, because you have no room to move, and for the water to swish around.. so disappointing! The view was great, but - I have to say, we have stayed at the RIU Vallarta in a "partial ocean view" and the view THERE was better! The ocean view at RIU Palace is confined to between the inside edges of the hotel - because you are pushed back, whereas the partial ocean view had a better broader scope of the ocean! So, in a nutshell we would not pay extra for this suit again... we would go with a partial. To answer a few common questions: The beer in the room refrigerator which is stocked daily is Tecate Original. Also replenished daily is water, soft drinks, club soda etc. There is also Dos Equis, Tecate Light and Bohemia at the restaurants, lounge, sports bar. There is a coffee maker in the room - the coffee is also stocked daily. There is a magnifying mirror in the room about 3 Xs magnifying - so if you're eyes need something a bit stronger, be sure to bring your own. We would recommend it, yes, and we would go back - BUT we would likely go to the Varrata before this one. The Vallarta was just a funner experience over- all - we have been there twice. Love this stretch of beach!

Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta: Simply Amazing.

From the 5 Star food to the service of all the friendly staff & management, the Resort is nothing short of Amazing, & the quality of life that can be found here is exquisite. Beautiful sand beaches, Gorgeous Green Palm Trees, how could you not find yourself in a piece of Heaven wishing you didn't have to go home !! Definitely would recommend again !

Marival Emotions Resort and Suites Riviera Nayarit: Great Resort and Staff!

A group of seven girls and I spent a week at Marival and we had a great time. Two of the girls are vegans and the staff accommodated their dietary needs. Special thanks to Victor and Jullion for going above and beyond to making sure our stay was enjoyable. The rooms that we stayed in (131) were a bit outdated but were always clean!

Samba Vallarta: Great Small Resort

Samba Vallarta is a great small resort located directly on a lovely large beach. Loads of cabanas for shade, drink service and very friendly vendors....For a 3 1/2 star rating the buffet was amazing, always HOT and good variety to choose from. Only complaint was there was absolutely NO guacamole to be found which was very disappointing and they only supplied 1 coffee kit for your first morning....you had to buy any additional kits which I found very cheap.....although you could obtain coffee clo [... read more]se to the restaurant early in the morning but that meant you had to get dressed.....nightly shows were pretty cheesy and there was no lounge with music, etc. after so you pretty well called it a night. The week I was there the resort was filled with Mexican families....they were very polite and all the kids were well behaved. For a restful vacation it was a great get away....

Fiesta Americana Riviera Nayarit: Clean Resort

Hotel overall was nice, well taken care of, clean rooms, pools were great, beach was nice, staff very nice.Food selection was limited and not much variety, overall nice hotel but if your looking for excitement I would not recommend this resort.

Samba Vallarta: Family hotel, family activities, family meals...what a nice change of pace.

We chose Samba Vallarta for the hotel's small size and excellent reviews. After check-in we went straight to the beach, amazingly, we saw a turtle make her way up to nest...about a 90 minute process of digging a hole in the sand, laying her eggs, covering the nest up and then heading back into the waves. On our second day we moved to the 4th floor and loved our room with a balcony view...Jose at the front desk was so accommodating...thanks Jose. I also asked for a bed topper which made me qui [... read more]te comfy. The blackout curtains allowed us to sleep in until 8:30 every morning. We brought our own tea bags for the morning as some of the extras are not available here. Next time I'll bring some of my favourite coffee as well. The room coffee machine worked perfectly. Shampoo (excellent honey shampoo that we've had in other Mexican resorts) is supplied but bring everything else you need. We bought large bottles of water from the little store to add to the 2 smaller bottles that were supplied each day. Not expensive, and there are other things available like pool floats for kids, sunscreen, etc. This hotel for us is reminiscent of old beach vacations...family oriented, horses to ride on the miles-long beach, vendors selling everything from toys, dresses, mangos, coconut drinks, candy and other snacks to silver jewelry...helpful vendors, not pushy, providing a welcome service. At the Samba we had some of the best restaurant service I've ever had at a hotel. Professional, cheerful servers...kind to every age group and hard working to say the least. We were never disappointed by the food choices in the buffet...I give credit to the head chef for keeping the food fresh and plentiful. Tortillas, papaya, melons, salads, fish, pasta...something for everyone. We also tried the Italian a la carte which was excellent. The Mexican night was dinner outside with a show, set up specially, like a wedding might be. What an effort by the staff to prepare for, and so successful. We tip often and apparently they all share in the tips, so as usual, they are appreciated. The nightly entertainment was fun, especially for the kids...always including a game on stage to participate in. Early nights at this hotel...not a night life kind of place which suited us since we put in full days of wave watching, swimming and buying a few things from the beach vendors. I also had a great massage on the beach for $25 US. I know I could be critical of what might need fixing at the Samba Vallarta but I prefer a simpler place so I'm ok that it's clean and constantly being cleaned and cared for. I put emphasis on the family aspect because if you want a party this might not be the place. (Although... the drinks were very good...great bartenders at each bar including the beach...and again, great servers...Salvador and Alexander to name two we had a few times but I think they have high standards for hiring.) The first floor room we started with was a bit damp so we moved to the 4th floor and were more than happy after that. Sure they could use a bit of renovating but there's great water pressure in the shower, nice and hot... and the rooms were well kept daily.

Marival Emotions Resort and Suites Riviera Nayarit: I Fell in Love in Mexico

I love this resort! The group that I went with is already planning to go again next year! Everything was phenomenal; the drinks, food, amenities, staff. I had heard many people rave about this hotel and I agree.
