Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Relaxing, Laid Back Holiday

This is a small and basic laid back all inclusive with a strong Mexican feel. If you're accustomed to a five star luxury hotel, you may be disappointed. The rooms are plain but clean. Food is excellent with A La Carte Mexican, and Steak House restaurants. The beach is busy but the vendors are respectful. The Beach Club offers a beautiful, quiet clear water beach. The pools are clean. No long line ups anywhere. The village is safe and you can take long leisurely walks on the beach or through the  [... read more]village. Perfect holiday if you are looking for a comfortable, clean and accommodating resort. We had a wonderful relaxing week. The staff and guests were friendly - no pretences or pressure to dress or behave a certain way - you could just be your self and enjoy the Mexican sun and hospitality. Third time visitor.

Las Palmas by the Sea: Awesome resort

The resort was fantastic good meals good bed the staff were second to none location was excellent only con about the whole trip was the shower being hot and cold but it's livable GREAT JOB las palmas We will be back

Garza Blanca Preserve Resort And Spa: Exceptional Food

We had a great time at Garza Blanca. Each of the four restaurants was top notch and the staff was very attentive. The private beach was really excellent too. The whole place was very kid-friendly, but there are quiet spots where adults can find some peace too. It's a bit remote and you can't walk into town, which can be positive or negative depending on what you're looking for. If you're heading into Viejo Vallarta, we suggest using Uber, as it's about half the price of a cab (about $6-7 USD per [... read more] trip.)

Grand Palladium Vallarta: 3 stars at best

The positive is that the resort and rooms are clean and the staff are pleasant. Also, the nightly entertainment was good. Outside of that I don’t have many nice things to say. The resort is small, the pools are small, the rooms are tiny. The A/C in the rooms barely worked. There are no elevators anywhere in the resort. The door lock to our bathroom didn’t work. I had to call every day to have the room cleaned as they always forget. When the room was cleaned, they always forgot something.  [... read more] The resort is NOT stroller friendly at all with no ramps anywhere around the rooms (again, no elevators either). There are many nice looking restaurants but the food is tasteless and mediocre at best in all of them. I definitely would not go back.

Riu Flamingos: Great resort!

Overall I thought the resort was great!! SUPER clean grounds, there’s a ton of staff and never a speck of dirt anywhere. Rooms were ok, I didn’t have hot water in the shower but that wasn’t a huge deal to me so I didn’t complain. AC worked ok, it was a bit damp but we were barely in the room. Food and drinks were awesome!! The mojitos were my favourite and my hubby loved the ceasers. The a la cartes were ok but we preferred the buffet. I didn’t find the staff as friendly as other place [... read more]s we have been to in other countries. Sunsets are BEAUTIFUL! Loved the beach and ocean was great! We walked the beach everyday for a good hour. Would definitely go back because of the beach and food.

Villas Vallarta by Canto del Sol: Good value for the money

An older 3 star resort, the room entry/closet/bathroom is strange design. Small TV. Having full access to the 4 star sister across the court/street makes it good value for the money, $950 Canadian (we booked 2 days before). The customers were mostly older couples the mid March week we were there. A few cloudy days but super warm, shorts only required even at night. The attached plaza has a number of shops, spas etc. I got $10 haircut there. Food was was good and always available. Surf and turf [... read more] restaurant was excellent. Very scenic with the mountains around you. Cobble stone roads in the old downtown, a bit of bumpy road on the .60 cent bus rides.

Playa Los Arcos: Very nice Place....Very authentique Mexican Vibe!!!! Beautiful

Nice older hotel....Well maintained ...authentique Mexican style....small and comfortable...Food was good....not 5 star quality but very good all the same, and who cares anyway when you are so close to lot's of very inexpensive restaurants that you can try out just around the corner!!!...air conditioning great!!! bed very comfy!!! Pool nice and clean....Right on the ocean!!! And RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THE ACTION...Close to everything you could want....Market...Big box stores...Restaurants... [... read more]Malecone...Buses....Super location if you want to experience true Mexico....lot's to do close by...Uber is always just 2 minutes away (never waited more than 4 minutes) Overal....will be coming here again! Good value for the price we paid!!!! Just wishes we could have stayed longer! The only thing I was disapointed with....was the service for coffee refills....they never refilled my cup once...and I always had to ask for more....I hate that...Drinkers get a drink without even asking...but us coffee drinking always get the short end of the stick!!!! That is my only per peeve!

Buenaventura Grand Hotel and Great Moments: Nice small resort

The hotel was very clean. My room was a good size with good views The bar staff were excellent. The restaurants were ok but could use a bit more variety. I would recommend this for people who like to walk uptown and don’t expect a 5 star hotel

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Beautiful Place

We stayed in Building 4 from March 04th to the 20th Pro's -Great food, great variety and lots of it -Very clean rooms and resort -Very well maintained - Rustic old Mexico feel and atmosphere - Smaller resort (240 rooms) -Very friendly and helpful staff -Modello light and dark on tap (I hate Corona) -Enough Palapas on the beach for shade Con's - You have to pay 85 pesos per day to use the in-room safe (Money grab) -Loungers are terribly hard and uncomfortable. Should upgrade to th [... read more]e mesh type - Sometimes hard to get change from the front desk for tips - Nightly shows start at 9:00 P.M. which is a little late for us old people :) -No early morning coffee available near building 4 - The umbrellas around the pools are immovable so sometimes hard to find shade Tips -Don't sit under the trees on the beach for shade unless you like the birds pooping all over you (But some say this is good luck :)) -Bring or buy an air mattress for the loungers (100-150 pesos if bought there) -Book tours through Alicia's on the beach (The same or cheaper than at the hotel) -Restaurante de Mariscos Pineda & Wanda's Burgers and Ribs (Mushroom Burger) are both great places to eat

Melia Puerto Vallarta: 3.5 star only

Service people are friendly & work hard. Food was fairly good but a lot of it I couldn’t or wouldn’t eat. Signage was missing at times especially to indicate if the food contained seafood. Pool bathrooms are kept clean but hotel rooms need a thorough cleaning as do all of the surfaces around the pool and the wrought iron tables/placemats in the main buffet. Too often found dishes/glasses/cutlery that was supposed to be “clean” wasn’t. :(

Fiesta Americana Riviera Nayarit: great resort

one of the better resorts we have stayed food was typical Mexican food, with the exception of there al carte. Italian and steak house were great. very clean resort. well kept. extremely helpful staff, always willing to go the extra mile. prompt and courteous. extra shout out to hector the head concierge, great job

Costa Club Punta Arena: good location, good basic food

All was good except construction next door which I read about before booking. Staff was Great and Room Clean with Excellent Service. walking distance to old town and Marina was convinient. What More can I Say

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Nothing fancy

The rooms were clean, maid came in daily to clean.. We enjoyed the adult only pool in block 5. It was difficult getting into a la cart for dinner. Good experience when we could book. Most Evening shows were interesting. Mostly in Spanish though

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Wonderful Resort!

We love the Royal Decameron, Puerto Vallarta. This has been our 6th time at this resort and each time we are met with friendly staff, great food and just a relaxing, enjoyable week. It’s our home away from home 😊 We are never disappointed! I would highly recommend you give it a try.

Tropicana Hotel: Great stay

Anton mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Samba Vallarta: Great Vacation

A small resort perfect for families. Everything was very close and staff were friendly. Entertainment was there if you wanted it. Waves on the beach great for boogie boarding. Food and drinks were good for a small resort. Italian restaurant very good.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Nice place

We had to stop at four or five different resorts on the way there to let people off on top of our already 45 minute drive there so that was long when we got there checked in they tried pushing us for a timeshare recommend don’t do it service at the adult pool was fantastic buffet was good service on open their side Was so so lots of stairs room were very nice over all a great place to stay

Melia Puerto Vallarta: Lovely resort

We loved the Mexican theme..food, decor, artwork, etc..wanted to experience the Mexican style not a cookie cutter hotel. All the staff were amazing and very helpful about tours, wheelchairs, iPad assistance!

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel and Mexican Charm: perfect resort

All I can say is this hotel was just excellent, best food, I have had at a hotel, rooms were very nice, service was awesome, Best hotel going back next year and staying at the same hotel. The hotel staff were very helpful, and very accommodating ,also very pleasant, everyone always had a smile, They had great entertainment nightly, buffet's had a different venue each night like seafood night, BBQ night, and a lot more, It definitely has Mexican charm, close to the beach. There was food either [... read more] buffet hours or at the bar, and even on the beach, For a older hotel I would give it a 10 if I could,, I heard so many people tell me they come back to this hotel year after year, or when ever they come back to Puerto Vallarta .

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Pleasant stay

Enjoyed our vacation, amenities were good although we did not take advantage of everything available, we lazed on the beach with our books, walked everyday once the tide was out far enough to get safely around the point and swam frequently in the ocean. Not pool people, we come to the beach for the natural ocean swim (if we liked the pool, we may as well go to Arizona LOL) Had intended to get out in the kayaks but a persistent shoulder injury advised me against. The boogie boards we did play o [... read more]n were in kind of rough shape, scratched my legs up a bit. One day we went to borrow snorkel equipment but there was no one to assist, and although there was some equipment sitting there, we did not know if it was clean or if we had to book it out. Took advantage of the free Catamaran ride, but made sure we booked it right at 9 am. Food was nice, reasonable variety, salsa and guacamole daily lunchtime staple. Did find that an awful lot of salt is used in everything! We ordered a Caesar a few times, which are already loaded with salt, and had to ask that salt not be added to the drink NOT the rim, I'm talking the Drink itself. Enjoyed the Bambu restaurant and had dinner at the Mexican Adelita restaurant twice Have had many all inclusive vacations over the years and know what to expect. We are at a point in our lives where we actually don't mind doing our own cooking, liquor selection etc but opted for a week of complete relaxation instead The one thing i wish all inclusives could provide a step up in is WINE. Several options of hard liquor are available for cocktails (although sometimes i swear the same stuff just goes into different labels) but the house wines that are served in AI's are SOOO BAAAD. I did order a bottle one night to accompany a nice Italian dinner, it was a bottle that cost $12 at home, and was $50 CAD. The wine served tasted like it was watered down, with vinegar. If there is an effort to make the food delicious, why would you want to destroy it with crap wine? Sorry, i just can't drink tequila or cocktails at dinner. Facilities were clean, room was serviced nicely although i did ask twice for a top up of the snack size peanuts we had on day 1 in our room, but never received any again. Would I recommend this resort? Sure, but it is essentially the same as any other, no huge standouts.
