Vamar Vallarta: Relaxing Puerto Vallarta Week

We have been to several 3 * Mexican All Inclusive Hotels and this was the nicest one so far. PRO's: This hotel is located right next to the upscale marina area which provided another destination for strolls day or evening extremely safe. Whole hotel is layed out well for people with mobility issues with ramps ,saw several people with walkers and even wheel chairs. Bus stops in front of hotel 7.5 pesos [appx. 50 cents CAD] to go into PV easy! We enjoyed the option of utilizing the marina sid [... read more]e with 2 pools and the beach side with 2 pools , pools were great no problems finding chairs or towels. The hotel is extremely clean, gardens and the staff super We upgraded to a superior balcony room [our room #5011] very spacious room, deck has 2 chairs and a table.Beds were the most comfortable we have had , linens and towels were good [ no wash clothes but we always bring a couple so no problem this is standard for a lot of hotels in sun destinations ] We felt it was very worthwhile to upgrade. The beach is a small bay between Mayan Palace and Melia resorts. Hotel has 2 elevators quick and efficient. Buffet has seating next to water very enjoyable to watch boats come and go -- we expected more noise from marina but it was very quiet. We ate at Italian ala carte and beach side seafood ala carte once each -- great service , food presented well. What is called a snack bar near beach has salad fixings. pasta and hamburgers, chicken sandwich and pizza that you order off menu. We went first week of April so slower season -- no line ups for food or at bars -- paid $1019 per person direct from Victoria Cons : This is not a party hotel don't expect a lively night time atmosphere [only a con if that is what you are looking for --others wise a pro] there are stage shows each night some better than others . The lobby area does not have evening music or alot of seating but there is a small bar there. This advertises as a 3 * therefore do not expect 5 * food, buffet has options but they are not endless as you might find in a larger higher star property. Again we were happy with food and service. If you want to go on long beach walks this is not a good choice -- beaches are broken into smaller areas with rock breakwaters. Construction -- yes there is a new building under construction right next door -- it is several stories taller that Vamar -- what does this mean -- during the day there is some noise -- our room was on opposite side of building so we only noticed it when going out street level or by pool.[ My husband enjoyed watching the activity] But option is to just go over to beach side of resort , short stroll away and complete different experience. Events--this property is popular with Mexican families for large events such as weddings. Occupancy on Friday and Saturday nights and days may be alot more than during the week. My advice be tolerant , bring earplugs and remember we have all celebrated major events with our families.

Tropicana Hotel: Loved the Tropicana

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Tropicana. We knew it was going to be an older hotel but they have kept it up very well attending to details every day. The staff was all pleasant and we particularly appreciated Noemi and Marisela at reception. The views from the hotel are wonderful, especially from Superior rooms although our first night was in a Standard room and even it was oceanview. The information for the upgrade to Superior we had paid for hadn't been received by the hotel the first  [... read more]night but those ladies at reception got it handled and we were moved to a beautiful Superior room to make up for it. The location just can't be beat with all the live music and restaurants within minutes of walking, plus the beach is beautiful right in front of the hotel and you can watch all the activity from up on your own quiet balcony. We intend to go back to the Tropicana again...as soon as possible!

Samba Vallarta: FRIENDLIEST STAFF

Very hard working, kindest and most friendly staff. My best friend and I felt so welcomed- from the airport pick up to the goodbyes. They remembered our names very quickly and always asked us if we needed anything to make our stay more comfortable. Amazing performances in the evening and fantastic food selection. An unforgettable first time experience with Samba Vallarta! Will definitely be back!

Fiesta Americana Riviera Nayarit: Amazing resort

Everything was really nice. Stayed a week and was very happy with our stay. Great food with lots of variety, very clean rooms and grounds. The pools and beach area were cleaned every morning (almost too clean as the workers were always walking around you). Service was excellent everywhere you went!

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Wonderful Family Resort

The Grand Palladium Vallarta is an excellent family orientated resort. The pools are wonderful and the beach great for boogie boarding or beach combing depending on what you prefer. There are numerous food establishments but time your dinner time as depending on how busy the resort is you may have a wait. We upgraded upon arrival to the Family Selection area of the resort. The rooms are a bit larger, the pool area quieter and the restaurant and bar/snack area are both great. This was [... read more] our first all inclusive experience as a family and we highly recommend the Grand Palladium.

Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta: Fantastic Resort - Can't wait to come back

Everything about this place is fantastic with one exception, the "towel game" is the resort's biggest problem. There is absolutely no problem that you get up early and leave your towel and a book to secure yourself a spot, however because there is no limit to towels people are securing both a spot at the pool and the beach leaving it limited for others. Positives: - No wristbands - No reservations required for restaurants - Vendors are respectful and don't bother you - Private beac [... read more]h - Resort is spotless - Staff are accommodating and extremely friendly - Food is amazing, best part of this resort is that there are a number of restaurants open throughout the day, including breakfast. You are not limited to the buffet - Close proximity to "old town" Puerto Vallarta Would I recommend: I most certainly did and my best friend will be celebrating her 40th Wedding Anniversary this May.

Crown Paradise Club: Perfect Resort for kids!

We took our boys ages 5&3 to this perfect resort for kids and they loved it! While the rooms are very dated and simple everything is clean. The beds were terrible!! The a la carts are amazing and are a must! The ocean is very rough and kids cannot go in alone so we mostly played at the pool and water park.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Very nice trip

Very pleasant staff. Excellent food. Weather was perfect. Comfortable bed. Room was cleaned and fridge stocked daily. Overall a very nice resort and good trip. It seemed to be a great choice for people with kids. Lots of stuff for them to do.

Samba Vallarta: excellent

great place for family's with small children. lots of activities all day for young children,three pools for young children 3,4,5 feet deep.Ocean is swimmable and shallow for a good distance.Choice of food is very good and service is excellente.bringing all our grandkids there next year.

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Beautiful resort

Hi. Hotel was nice and it was clean. The beach was pretty to look at but the sand was horrible. It says beachfront but you have to walk a certain distance over rocks to get to the water. The food was good but I expected buffet for breakfast lunch and dinner it was only at breakfast. Lunch you had to do a la carte. Dinner it was outside buffet style but they seated you at tables with other families. I feel it's a little deceptive when they say all inclusive Buffet. Also I wasn't impressed at  [... read more]the coffee shop closes at 10 p.m. Hotel was clean, safe and the staff were very nice. Can't beat the weather

Samba Vallarta: 4th time

The rooms are what they are beds are comfortable hot water was fine and the a/c worked. Pool was great never crowded beach was clean and bar service which is very rare.

Went with a group of 11 and not one complaint.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Very Mexican property.

This property is very well maintained. The gardens are beautiful and the whole property is kept very clean. The food at the buffet was amazing. Didn’t bother to go to the a La Carts. Our only complaint was the rooms don’t have fridges and you have to sign to get a hair blower in your room. Otherwise the rooms were spacious and comfortable. I would definitely recommend and go back to this resort.

Melia Puerto Vallarta: Perfect relaxing holiday

The staff go out of their way to make your holiday perfect. The rooms were clean and the grounds were well kept. The entertainment was great. There was always something going on, archery, ping pong, volleyball, water aerobics, mini put, rock wall climbing and assorted pool games.The waiters actually run to serve you. The food was great and the sunsets fabulous. I had a great time.

Crown Paradise Golden: GOLDEN CROWN PARADISE

Good things: sun, beach, warm weather, staff was awesome Negative: seemed to be a party resort with too many young adults that took over the pool and hot tube. Daily there was beer pong and one day they were all twerking around the pool. I am not prude but this is not what I signed up for. Food in the buffet was not good and with it being outside you got the birds coming in an picking at the food...not a good thing. Food in the Salvador Restaurant was really good. Did not like that the dis [... read more]co/entertainment space was across the parking lot and across the street and not in the resort. Always had to go around the resort to the beach because pool was not really available. Beach side was really nice, with bar close by. However could use more umbrellas. Sorry but I would not go back

Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: Great Resort

Everything was perfect except the nightly shows. They would have been great if not of the over sexualized costumes of the women. I chalked it up to Mexico being behind the times. I especially enjoyed the rooms, clean and comfortable. Snack Bar was great. Staff was kind and helpful.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: The staff were always pleasant. The grounds were impeccable. Also we wanted to move to another room No problem.

The staff were always pleasant. The grounds were impeccable. Also we wanted change rooms, no problem. They had us in another room in less than hour. We enjoyed the beach under the wonderful straw umbreallas protecting us from the sun. We had fun parcipati ng in the water aerobics and dancing in the lobby. We hope that we return to Paradise.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Good value

Food was just average, but grounds were beautiful, rooms were clean (but older), staff was friendly and professional and location was great. The entertainment was really good and lots of fun. Would definitely stay here again.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great resort

Clean and well kept up Meals were satisfactory and good variety Staff friendly and courteous Just don't like the payment for a security box Bottom floor and King size bed a must Other than that a very good Resort

Crown Paradise Golden: Wonderful time and great staff

What to say: Hotel was quaint, well maintained with great staff. Rooms are all well located to view the ocean ( partial of full). Try to get 3rd floor +. Food: Was worried about past reviews, however, food selection was good. Beach: Nice beach, took long walks and sellers were fun to talk to. Surroundings: Walking distance to mall, walmart and some good rests ( not expensive). We walked a few times to downtown ( 1hr) or 10 minutes taxi. Good restaurants with great local flavours along with g [... read more]reat taquila. Try to get your souvenirs locally and not at airport, airport has not as much selection. Marina near by and every morning cruise ships arrive, nice to see.

Riu Flamingos: Very Enjoyable Resort

Facility was Great, Staff was Great, other Guests where Great. Recommendations; Please teach the chef's how to COOK BACON!!!! I don't remember seeing so much garbage on the beach.(cigarette butts) Must find a way to Remove the Two Center Pillars in Front of the Stage.
