Las Palmas by the Sea: Beautiful resort!

We found everything very relaxed, clean and comfortable. The ac worked well, the rooms were kept very clean, the staff were friendly and accommodating to all our needs. It was nice to share our stay there with a majority of Mexican tourist families with young children...got to experience a little more of the Mexican culture that way. (I was particularly impressed with their lovely positive and gentle parenting style...didn't hear the loud scolding/ordering of kids around that we NA parents often [... read more] do!:) One thing I noticed this time as well as last year...when you arrive you don't get much of an orientation...no one showing you around re: what is available and where i.e. massage, clinic, main floor washrooms etc. Maybe a map of the grounds/facilities would be nice idea. Meals were good, breakfasts the best! The taco chips/with all the toppings by the pool in the afternoon were hot, fresh and delicious! (Guacamole and sour cream are more Tex-Mex than actually Mexican we discovered...none to be had.) Being on the coast the emphasis is fish.We had the option of 2 a la carte restaurants. We tried the Guacamajazz restaurant. The salmon was amazing...the soups very good as well...the "ravioli" was inedible. (Hard, cold and undercooked, no red sauce, just sitting in an oily flavourless clear liquid...not even butter!) We did choose to vary the food by eating a few of our meals at fantastic inexpensive little restaurants/pubs we discovered in the neighbourhood, right close by. Drinks were absolutely wonderful...and kept coming:) The evening entertainment was a little hit-and-miss...most people seemed to really enjoy it. Our ocean view room overlooked the pools, and we noticed it was quite loud. Next time we will try a room overlooking the garden instead and see if it is quieter.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: What a great holiday!

We thought we were going to be staying at the Royal De Cameron, but what a great ending to what we thought was going to be a bad experience. We ended up at your hotel instead. You have the most amazing beaches! The most amazing food and the most amazing staff! We will definately come back again!

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great Stay

This is the 5th time I have stayed there and as always there is nothing I can complain about except for the fact I had to pay 350 in Mexican money to get the key for my room safe. In the past I was given that money back but this time when I returned the key they said it was not refundable which I thought was wrong. Other than that it was a great stay got the room I asked for so everything was perfect Cheers

Costa Club Punta Arena: ok

The staff was great, the food was lacking. We found the lunches were better than dinner. The noise from the construction was a little much. The staff turned up speaker to drown out noise only msde it worst.

Canto Del Sol: Comfortable Resort fairly close to downtown

This is a nice resort and good value for the money. The rooms are clean and it is well maintained. Unfortunately I got food poisoning (believe it was the buffet) but I guess this can happen anywhere. There is stage show every night and it is very good. The speciality restaurants present a very nice meal with very good waiters. The elevators (or lack there of) leave something to be desired. The location is right on the beach but only about two blocks off the main road in to Puerto Vallarta. [... read more] You can catch a bus that will take you to the town centre for seventy cents. For Canadians who are interested in hockey, there is a lively bar on the street with televised games. Good place to stay. We have been there five times and will return again.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Amazing resort

My second time at The Royal Decameron Complex. Already planning next year. The staff are so nice and ready to help when needed. Food was awesome. The rooms were clean. Just loved the atmosphere. See You next year.

Riu Flamingos: Amazing resort

We would definitely recommend this resort. The staff couldn't do more for us. When our flight was delayed, they made up a nice plate for us and was waiting in our room when we arrived. We had alacartes every night and had no line ups. The food was amazing along with the buffets. Our room was nice and modern. The beach is beautiful and clean. No plastic cups laying around. Entertainment was very good day and night. Always keeping people active. We love this resort so much that we'll b [... read more]e bringing our family with us next year. Thank you Riu Jalisco for a trip we'll never forget.

Riu Vallarta: good resort

Small resort. Overall things are clean and nice and comfortable. Room was clean . kinda old. door lock was old style key, not smart badge.a bit challenging to open the door. Mattresses are ok , not so comfy though. delicious foods but repetitive. night entertainments ok , not so interesting. Beach was nice. but NO shades at the beach!!? only some palm trees here n there. so we were chasing the shades all the time .lol

Sheraton Buganvilias Puerto Vallarta Hotel: Great spot but...

This was the third time at Sheraton Buganvillias for us and we were a little disappointed this time. All the renos are amazing, the rooms, the restaurants and the Starbucks in the lobby. The staff is great as always but the food this year was not great. We were disappointed in the a la cart restaurants the most, the food was adequate at best and never hot. At the breakfast buffet there was never bacon and we found out you had to ask for it. Why?? Our favorite part of this resort is the pool but  [... read more]this year the water was so warm you could never get cooled off. We will think twice about coming back again.

Delfin Beach Resort Puerto Vallarta: Great Location

This hotel is very nice, the meals were good, the rooms clean, the staff excellent. Nice pool area and great views and location. The rooms are very dated and the beds very hard, but they are updating the hotel so hopefully they update the rooms soon.

Delfin Beach Resort Puerto Vallarta: Excellent location!

The hotel is dated, but they are working on upgrades. The lobby, dining rooms and pools appear new. It appears they are working through the floors gradually. Most of the staff are friendly and helpful. The location is superb. The food was okay. At times it wasn't hot. At lunch and supper there was always a pork, beef, chicken and fish dish. Steamed veggies at every meal. Not once was there any guacamole or fresh salsa - something that I was looking forward too. Many of the guests were repeater [... read more]s. Once lady was their for her 11th year. Good value for the money. Most likely I would return.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Come with me to La Penita

On January 1, 2019, my husband and I checked into our all-inclusive hotel chosen for us by our travel agent , Felicia Grasso from tripcentral.ca.. Neither of us had been on a tropical vacation since the mid-1980's and we were overwhelmed by the options and information we found on the internet. I called tripcentral.ca and spoke with Felicia Grasso and communicated what we wanted and needed as well as our time frame and budget. She confidently said 'leave it with me and I will get back to you be [... read more]fore 7pm tonight' which was in less than 4 hours. She called back in good time with our itinerary including preferences as well as suggestions she had made on our behalf - and by 7pm we were booked and paid for. Fast forward to one week post return and both my husband and I can say it couldn't have been a more perfectly wonderful vacation or destination. It was my desire to visit La Penita where my mother had often stayed when she was living and I wanted to experience what had drawn her there but only knew the name of the town and was ignorant of its whereabouts. Both my husband and I were concerned about our health and well-being while traveling to unknown territory and it turned out that Felicia's recommendations and suggestions were ideal. We stayed at The Hotel Descameron Los Cocos in Rincon de Guiyabidas, an oceanside all-inclusive resort near enough to La Penita that we could either cycle or taxi there from our hotel in less than 20 minutes. As well as cycling, we enjoyed daily walks and swimming, resting and sleeping, eating, reading, dancing, exploring, snorkeling, boating, hiking, shopping, and making friends wherever we went either at the hotel or out and about. The atmosphere, the ethos of the community within both the hotel as well as in the townships of Guayabidas and La Penita was warm and welcoming and felt safe. The hotel was incredibly well managed and staffed. My husband and I both commented several times that it operated like a well-oiled machine 24 hours a day and met all our physical needs beyond either of our expectations as well as offering a variety of entertainment and services besides the impeccable maintenance of our rooms. The staff were excellent and so very kind, gracious and helpful. Drinkable water was always available and we were made to feel at home and welcome at all times, day or night. We fully intend to return and have enjoyed sharing our amazing adventure with our friends and family. We highly recommend Felicia's services via tripcentral.ca and not only thank her for the trip of a lifetime, but fully intend to book with her again.

Delfin Beach Resort Puerto Vallarta: Great for the price

We stayed for 11 days at this resort in January. Our room was great, it was a standard room with partial ocean view. The room was updated but sure would be nice if they would throw in a fridge. The bed was very hard but that is normal for Mexico. The food had little variety from day to day but for the price it was okay. Since the price for the hotel was cheap we ate out at the local restaurants most of the time. The location was perfect, walking distance to everything we could ever need. Real [... read more]ly could use an employee to serve beverages around the adult pool:)

Plaza Pelicanos Club: Not a bad little place.

Heads up for this place. it's not a overgrown large resort. That's not bad. Room was nice and the cleaners keep it clean. They staff keep the grounds clean and it showed. The buffet was small but ok. Breakfast was always good. Like any place there is some downside, the safes in the room are the old school ones not the digital ones. Some staff have the don't care attitude. And you have to cross the road to get to the beach. But, it's close to downtown for walking. Note if the resort does the  [... read more]dinner at the beach, plan on going in town. The food is always cold except for burgers and hotdogs. Would I stay here again? Yes, yes I would.

Crown Paradise Club: Not great for what we paid

The hotel is older and is showing wear. Mattresses seemed to be past their prime. Kids had fun at the 3 pools which were warm most days. We had no hot water or water pressure for 3 of our 7 day vacation. Food was good. Service was hit and miss and for the most part the drinks were undrinkable. A surprising number of service workers didn't speak any English but it makes sense because it seemed like more locals than foreigners. There was very loud wedding dance parties on the beach 3 nights in a r [... read more]ow. And they are doing construction between the two hotels which starts bright and early. The beach was nice.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: This resort has it all - best beach, amazing staff, fantastic guests, plenty to do, clean spaces and healthy food

Excellent variety of restaurants, bars and pools. We enjoyed the nice mix of Canadian and Mexican both very polite and respectable people. I suggest you expand you wifi and upgrade your bicycles. don’t charge for the safety box in the rooms.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Very good things here - and some not so good.........

Rooms are quite nice and very clean; very old, and very high lampshades makes for little light !! Good, clean beaches, very good pools, very good entertainment. Food: Breakfast has everything and very good. Lunch and Dinner system not so; Poor quality, same stuff (re-filled and mixed) not appetizing......... ( can get sick ) and did !

Delfin Beach Resort Puerto Vallarta: Fabulous Vacation

I just spent 12 days at Hotel SAN Marino and will definitely go back!!! It is excellent value for the price! The location was the best possible!! Walking distance to everything you want or need!! The staff are all very friendly and helpful! The hotel is very very clean and charming. Lots of lounge chairs and tables to relax at. Food was good, housekeeping did an excellent job and bartenders were friendly and efficient!! I Highly recommend this resort!

Riu Flamingos: Good Value For Money

The Good: Service is always good at Riu Hotels and this one is no different! Hotel is always kept clean for the most part the do what they can to make you stay as enjoyable as possible. We always came back to a clean room even if we got up a little bit later! Most resorts ive stayed at if you miss breakfast you are out of luck for food until lunch but at this resort there are always snacks available at all times of day which is nice. There were always pool/beach chairs available even when the re [... read more]sort was quite busy! The Bad: We had a pretty terrible view from our room (i know all rooms cant have great views) ive stayed here before and have had great views overlooking the fountain/common areas. I find the food on the resort mostly very bland (i know they get a lot of families that probably have picky kids) but it would be appreciated if there were more authentic mexican cusine as well. but on the other hand the a la cartes were better. I do like to travel into downtown and it was annoying that since we had to cross a state line that the cab fares would basically double because you have to pay for the fare both ways basically. Would stay here again!
