Grand Palladium Vallarta: Nice resort

Staff, beach and pools were great. Food for the most part awful. Usually cold and low quality products. Service was generally good. Evening shows were terrible. Just a bunch of folks on stage dancing to the nights theme. I would not recommend this resort and will not return.

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta: Wasn't happy.

Amazing beach, understaffed, small rooms, public bathrooms extremely small stalls, beach & poolside activities fairly good.Juan was awesome for activities.had to pay for wifi. Asked to speak to the manager & was given excuse after excuse why I couldn't. Would not recommend or return to this hotel.

Riu Flamingos: great resort

food was great, shows were good we thought 2 of the shows were fantastic!! would be great to see servers go around the pool area with cocktails. Very nice to be able to go to the Riu Vallarta to swim and have lunch. Would definitely recommend this hotel to friends.

Villas Vallarta by Canto del Sol: Great location, even greater staff!

We wanted a low-key week to relax and found it here. Close enough to small shops or a short taxi ride to downtown made it a good location. Everything was handy, with a smaller pool and restaurant than the main building, which suited us just fine. Upgrades to the very clean rooms are really nice, staff was EXCELLENT, and the daily entertainment was great. Because Villas Vallarta is just across a quiet street from Canto del Sol, we could go there for more activity if we wanted or to have access t [... read more]o the beach.

Canto Del Sol: Love this resort

Stayed at Canto del Sol from February 1st - February 8th Sunwing flight delay both ways 2 hours, but that was not a surprise almost expect it with Sunwing, besides that the resort is fantastic the staff also fantastic, love every minute of our stay from walks along the beach to shopping just right outside our Resort a taxi cab to the malecon ranges between 8 US Dollars and 10. This was our second time staying at Canto Del Sol the first time was across the street at the Villas this time at Canto [... read more] Del Sol Plaza, we definitely enjoyed the plaza more the meals were all very enjoyable with plenty enough to choose from. The pool was heated which was great because there's always a breeze coming off the ocean one little irritating issue was that the swim up bar was closed most of the day which meant you had to get out of the pool and walk around to the other side to be served although quite often you could order from a waiter that was walking by, Victor 1 and Victor 2 where the waiters that served us most times in the evenings and are fantastic. Can't say enough good things about the staff they were all so accommodating and lovely and sad to see us go. Beware when checking in the front desk will send you directly across to pick up your towel cards and your free gift this person will also try to talk you into going to the timeshare meeting they will not take no for an answer and I finally had to just walk away! Beside that we will definitely return one of our favorite resorts along with loving Puerto Vallarta.

Riu Flamingos: Relax and enjoy

Wonderful trip. Flights were on time and the resort was well run. Friendly staff and clean rooms. We would stay at the Riu again. Three different restaurants to choose from. The Asian restaurant was the best kept secret.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Wonderful staff makes this resort

This hotel is Canadians home away from home. Many people return again and again for this reason. The staff are amazing and the resort is large enough not to feel crowded and yet it doesn't feel huge. I love it here and will return, just like many others.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great Resort

the royal Decameron is good value for the price. Our only complaint is the beds and pillows are too hard. The staff are fantastic and friendly. We have been to Royal Decameron Complex five times and would return again.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Friendly resort

The grounds were well maintained, beach was clean and pools beautiful. Resort staff extremely friendly and helpful. Many activities, nightly shows and the town of Bucerius is a short walk from the resort

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Reflect Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta

We were so pleased with our resort. After reading some negative reviews we were tempted to look elsewhere but so glad we kept our reservation. Our room was a standard room, small but had everything we needed including clean towels everyday. Any concerns were handled politely and immediately.The bathroom had just been renovated -very modern shower. AC worked and it was quiet. The grounds were beautiful, the restaurants had gourmet meals and the buffet prepared delicious meals. Really liked not  [... read more]having to make reservations. I have celiac and could not believe how attentive the waiters and the head chef was ensuring that I too could enjoy tasty food. The salmon was simply delicious and I was able to indulge in some GF desserts. I would recommend this place for all you fellow celiacs. My husband is picky and he found more than enough tasty food. The COCO Cafe is perfect- open 24hours. Oh yes! The Sky Bar was so peaceful- a secret place. The beach was extensive with our only complaint of not having enough chairs.The three pools were lovely and I enjoyed the water aerobics as well taking Spanish lessons. A shout-out to Guillermo(sp) (William) with organizing entertainment - the Mexican Dancers Nite was excellent, the live band as well especially when some locals got into salsa dancing- so much fun! Beach party nite and karaoke nite were a hit too. We did no excursions as we have been in this area before but we did walk to Bucerias both on the beach as well as the walkway.Thank you, Manuela, for finding this resort.

Costa Club Punta Arena: it's ok

They Cater mostly to the Mexican that stay at this resort, but grounds were clean, staff are consistently making it look clean, however my room had a smell of what seemed to be urine and the smell got stronger everyday. By the time to complain I felt Oh Well we're leaving in a couple days All the glass (plastic cups) they use for drinks are cleaned and reused. Just remember these glasses are also used for ash trays too and it's not good drinking something from one and finding cigarette bu [... read more]rns in the plastic. But you can do as I did, find a good one and keep reusing it. Food was not so good, unless you were Mexican rice and beans, But you can go to the Ala Carte which was much better Bacon for breakfast you have to ask for it at the grill where they prepare eggs Also the snack bar food was good (Pizza, Home made French fries, burger The beach is not all sandy and had some beach rocks NO BODY swims there it has a very strong undertow Rooms and baloney are big and spacious, however if your in the old building there is absolutely NO Ocean/ Beach view because of a building in front being built and in the old building there are NO elevators, but 60, yes 60 stairs, I counted to the top/third floor There is a large building being built right in front of the resort so there is constant noise from Monday to Saturday 9 to 5 They do put on a variety of night shows that are ok On a good note the staff are awesome and any complaints the Manager will try and resolve it ASAP The TV remote wasn't working they had it fixed and working very next morning. All in All you get what you pay for with this place, but I'd go back and just eat out

Crown Paradise Club: Amazing family resort and kid friendly!

We had a very good experience at this resort: amazing, helpful staff, everything very close and easy to navigate around. The kids have a safe waterpark, kids clubs and baby club have lots of fun activities! The beach and the ocean were very nice, fine sand and clean water! Great food at the buffet, lots of variety and specialty restaurant. 10/10 rating and would definitely recommend it!

Riu Flamingos: Lovely, well manicured resort

We stayed at the Riu Jalisco from Jan 25 to Feb 1, 2019. It is a beautiful, well manicured resort. The service all over the resort was excellent. All the employees were friendly and happy to help you with anything you needed, be it a bartender, a waitress or the front desk staff. The food was very good at all the restaurants and the buffets, with a fantastic selection to choose from, with the exception of one. The steak we had at the La Botana Steak house in the evening, really left someth [... read more]ing to be desired. It was thin and very tough. We stood in line for 20 minutes to get in but it was a real disappointment. The specialty coffee was a real treat and quite the show. Be sure to ask your waitress to have the “coffee guy” come to your table at least once during your stay. He seemed to always be in the Don Emiliano buffet. The evening entertainment was really quite good. We especially enjoyed the Cirque du Soleil style show and the Michael Jackson tribute. Also the Mr. Riu contest was hilarious. They had a really nice open air theatre situated between two bars with lots of table and chairs. The rooms were a nice size, nicely furnished and kept very clean. There was one thing that did bother us, but I’m not sure what could be done about it. That was the musty smell when you first walked into the room. It was very humid while we were there, but I’m sure it’s always humid there being on the ocean. We have been to quite a few ocean side resorts and I can honestly say, they did not have that strong musty smell. Our friends’ room also had that strong musty smell, so I suspect the whole hotel was like that. This hotel is situated on a beach with a large grove of palm trees so you always had a choice of shade or sun. The beach was very clean and you could walk for a long ways. There were always lots of lounge chairs on the beach and at the pools no matter what time of the day you went down. We never had any problems exchanging our beach/pool towels. There were always lots and the towel lady was very friendly. All in all, it was a lovely place and I would recommend it to anyone.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: The Royal Decamdron Complex - Our Home Away From Home

This was our 11th visit to this resort and the number of repeat guests is amazing. Staff work very hard and aim to please. The buffets change every day and you can always find something good to eat. There is a gourmet station 1-2 times per week where the chef prepares plates that look too pretty to eat. The rooms are basic but very clean. The grounds are beautiful. The entertainment is excellent, including an Elvis impersonator show on Mondays. Staff are receptive to feedback. The beach is ver [... read more]y long and you can walk for miles. Kayaks, boogie boards, and a ride on the catamaran are included. This all inclusive gives you good value.

Crown Paradise Club: A few quick tips and tricks

Breakfast - Where is the bacon? It took me a few days but i found out the omelet lady is the dispenser of the bacon. A $1 tip and smile went a long way towards a decent stack every morning. If you are like us and like sitting close to the edge of the water an umbrella becomes necessary. They rent them on the beach for 15USD a day. Or can be bought across the street and a 3USD cab drive at walmart for 25USD. There is also a little mall with loads of other options to check out. We brought ou [... read more]r android box to stream a few leafs games and watch the odd tv show before bed. While the internet outside the room was not bad. Inside the room was touch and go. I did find when i went on my balcony it improved. The sports bar has lots for kids to do but the hours seemed to be very limited. Every time we went to check out the xBox room or catch a movie in the projector room they seemed “closed” even though the employee was sitting right there? We did play some airhockey and foosball though. (Also a pool table there) Either way we had a great time.

Canto Del Sol: Great Hotel

Everything with our trip was fantastic. Very clean resort, really good selection of food and drink. Very friendly and helpful staff. Spent most of our time at the pool. Lots of activity for everyone. Look forward to going back.

Marival Emotions Resort and Suites Riviera Nayarit: Lovely Resort

This resort is wonderful. It is not a huge resort but has everything you need. Staff were friendly and could not do enough for you. The shows every night were excellent. It is only about 10 minutes from the airport.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: great hotel except

Except for entertainment like Bingo night, participation night, casino night, karaoke night. Needs Entertainers and a stage for showtime. Great rooftop bar and gardens. Food is average, buffet is a small space but lots of seating outside

Delfin Beach Resort Puerto Vallarta: Location, location, location.

Fantastic location in the heart of all the nightlife and action of Old Town. Terrific and attentive staff. Food options are buffet-only, but surprisingly good (but some the best restaurants in PV are right around the corner anyway). Upgraded to an oceanview junior suite, room was enormous and very clean. Adult pool was heated to a perfect temp and overlooks the beach. Never had a problem getting a lounge chair around one of the pools. Would definitely stay here again, and recommend it  [... read more]to friends.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Beautiful resort but......

Resort is lovely, thought we had problem with securing lounge chairs around pools and on the beach. People would be out at 6am in order to secure their lounge chairs....not enough of them around. Quality of restaurant dinners poor, meat tough.
