Riu Flamingos: Nice resort

We found this hotel had beautifully kept grounds. The food quality was good but not outstanding. Our room was clean however the maids never changed the glasses in our rooms and we did not see anyone with a cart to change the glasses. We marked the underside of our glasses on Day 2 and those glasses were never exchanged. All of our party got a cold/flu which we believe was due to the not changing of the glass wear. As well, the pool water needed to be cleaned up as there was clearly a lot of [... read more] biologicals in the water from urine and drinks being spilled. Our bathing suits smelled like urinals after getting out of the pool. It is a decent enough place to stay but be aware of the lack of hygiene in the glasses you are served as well as the pool water quality. The entertainment staff and wait staff are all OUTSTANDING!!!

Riu Palace Pacifico: Excellent Resort!!

This was a last minute decision to go to Puerto Vallarta due to the weather forcast the in the Mayan Riviera. It proved to be an excellent decision. This resort was awesome. Great food, service, rooms, views, pool and activites, beach, all great. Although it is the rainy season there too, we had 6 days of pure hot sun. Water is not clear and blue like the East Coast, but very warm, I mean really warm. Larger waves, but managable to get in and out of the water. We would definitely recommen [... read more]d this resort!!

Riu Palace Pacifico: Amazing

Overall I'd rate this place a 5. Super clean . Very friendly. Food awesome. Pools always clean. Rooms very clean. I'd go back. Not to kid friendly more for adult. Oh and they don't use straws there for the environment so if you like straws bring some we will for next time. Night time entertain was great.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Fabulous resort!!

This resort was wonderful, the grounds were manicured beautifully. The buffet had a variety of food choices and was delicious 😋. The Japanese restaurant was entertaining and mouthwatering. The pool staff kepted you busy if you choose to participate otherwise sit back and enjoy the fun. The drinks and staff were good but very busy trying to keep up with the orders. Our view from our modern room was excellent and the cleaning staff both morning and night was more than we could ask for. Chocol [... read more]ates on the pillows and flower petals on the bed just put a smile on your face. I’m sure it was the appreciation of the small tips we left on the bed in the morning and before we went for dinner...(as it is different staff.) We tipped a dollar or two everywhere even though it was all inclusive and we are just average income earners ...and good god it’s hot there and they’re running around waiting on us in uniform..Wow...they don’t mind wet money either..lol Coffee bar was such a plus too! Ocean was to rough but enjoyed sitting on a chair reading, watching, listening to the ocean and having a cocktail, pedlars were not bothersome

Tropicana Hotel: Tropicana in PV, Mexico

The hotel is a good old faithful and not bad as a whole. Most of the staff are good except for the resception desk staff. They are bad! I had to come downstairs three times when we first arrived for a safe key. Then they had the never to ask me what room number after the third time! Same staff! They seemed very uninterested in helping all through the vacation when we had questions. And everyone in Mexico wants tips! They may want to come to Canada...most dont get any tips for the jobs we per [... read more]form! Lol.

Riu Vallarta: Great resort

We just returned from our second visit to Riu Vallarta. As the first time this trip was very good . The weather was great, service very good, rooms clean,food was even better than our first time there. We ate at the buffet most meals and always found the food very tasty. Grounds are kept up nicely always staff cleaning . Entertainment was a lot of fun during the day and the shows at night pretty good. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a fun and family friendly resort [... read more]. Thank you Riu for another great holiday.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Beautiful.resort

The property is beautiful the water and.mountains. The French restaurant was fantastic. We did star prestige well.worth the.money. Only negative was because it was low season they offered a deal for the locals to attend the resort at times.the pool was out of.control so service suffers and the lunch buffet service.was terrible was chaotic. Rooms great would.return

Sunscape Puerto Vallarta: Sunscape family vacation

We had a great family vacation (there were 10 of us all in junior suites). The area was amazing with the contrast of the ocean and the mountains. The thunderstorms at night was fun. Positives-the staff were great. -The view from our junior suite was amazing. -The food in the Italian restaurant and the Mexican restaurant was wonderful. -the activities were fun and kept our 5 children (ages 11 to almost 17) busy and entertained.  [... read more] -the location was good. You could walk to town/stores and it was close to the airport. -if the room would have storage, we would have loved it. There was lots of room and a separation from the sleep area and sitting area was great Negatives-there was nowhere to unpack (no dressers or shelves) although we were in a higher priced room -some of food in the buffet was marginal. The selection was limited. -the fridge was not restocked If you are on a budget this is a great option.

Riu Vallarta: Very lovely resort...but

The reosrt was lovely but needs some renovations. Our room had a mold smell and the sofa bed was broken. They did bring up cot and had the room cleaned throughly everyday. The amenities we great abd the staff was just wonderful.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Awesome vacation! Awesome Staff

Just returned form a week stay at this resort with my senior mom and my two children aged 2 years and 6 months. Had an amazing time. Beach is beautiful. Staff is amazing. Food is great, always something to eat. My kids had a blast riding around in little baby boats in the pool. There is tons of pools of all different depths.

Plaza Pelicanos Grand: Great Resort

We stayed at the Plaza Pelicanos Grand for 7 nights, Sept 16-23-18. The resort is centrally located with easy access to downtown and with conveniences within walking distance. The resort is very clean, with many amenities such as swim up bar, al a carte dining, roof top bar, hot tubs, and a beach front location. The buffet offers a wide variety of dishes with emphasis on excellent Mexican dishes, fresh fruit and desserts. The made to order wood fired pizza is awesome. Top shelf liqu [... read more]or including Absolute Vodka and Canadian Club are available at the pool bar. The room was always cleaned daily, with abundant hot water and excellent a/c. The staff are exceptional, friendly, professional and always eager to please. The location is central to everything and within walking distance or the local bus goes right by for only 7.50 pesos. Mega and Soriana are only a few blocks away for your shopping convenience. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Hilton Vallarta Riviera Resort: A good week at Grand Fiesta Americana

Everything about this hotel was very good except for the following 2 things: 1. the min bar service was good for everything but beer. we got 3 beer on day 1, 2 beer on day 2 and 3 then no beer for the rest of the week. Its an all inclusive so not a huge deal. 2. The coffee shop in the lobby was part of the all inclusive last year but it is now a Starbucks and you have to pay. Just annoying. Other than those items it was a great week and I would go again.

Hilton Vallarta Riviera Resort: Great Resort

Great Resort and had a fantastic time. The service, food and rooms were very good. This is our second time at this resort, spaced about a year apart. My only complaint is that last year they had a coffee bar that was part of the all inclusive. This year, the web site indicated they had a coffee bar as part of the all inclusive but when we got there, the coffee bar was now a starbucks and you had to pay starbuck's prices for coffee. I would obviously prefer not to have to pay $5 everytime I  [... read more]wanted a good coffee at an all inclusive resort.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Amazing resort and great customer service

My bf and I hsve been to this resort twice. First time was April 2018 and more recently September 2018. The first time we came we loved that the resort was not as huge as some of the others see have visited. If you are a surfer this is the place for you as the beach has amazing waves and surf boards to use. Better than surfing in Sayulita. Part of the reason why this place is so great is because the staff here go beyond. Cristian at the front desk was so accommodating when we extended our stay b [... read more]y 3 extra days. He went over and beyond to get us the best room possible at the price we could afford. Bety the Barista at the coffee bar near the gift shop makes the most delicious iced Frappacunos. Eder the sport staff in the surf area will teach you how to surf or boogie board or paddle board and Jesus is an amazing bellman and concierge. As you can tell we loved this resort because of the staff who work here and have made sure Jose the general manager is aware. If you are looking for a beach getaway that is not overly crowded with western vacationers this is the resort for you. The Rooms are great and service is amazing. If you gave isdues they will be resolved right away. Love the jacuzzi tubs. We will be back a third time most definitely,

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Hit and miss

Grounds pools , waterfront and rooms were very nice. Personal service was hit and miss with times when you had to look for employees for the simplest things like a drink. We recieved more attention from the vacation club and spa sales reps contantly try to sell their services even when you were trying to relax on your loungers.Taking away from your own rest and relaxation time On the other hand they were spot on when i proposed to my fiance at the mexican restaurant and they provided us with [... read more] champagne and personalised dessert

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Amazing resort

The people that worked there are always happy and are really good at what they do. The food was excellent and the weather was great! The only thing I would make better is that the maids would come to our room before 4 or something so we have time to get ready for supper

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Iberostar Playa Mita (Riviera Nayarit)

Stayed at the Iberostar in Sept.2018. Grounds: excellent Service: excellent Food: buffet was great A la carte restaurants: Japanese was so so, French was great, Mexican was so so, did not try the steakhouse. Room: clean, spacious, good storage, good view of the ocean in the prestige section.

Riu Vallarta: Aug 27 to Sept 3rd Riu Vallarta 2018

Wonderful time here, great music, entertainment, food, specialty restaurants, all the workers and especially the entertainment team and wonderful bartenders. We asked to change our room from the 7th floor to 1st , with in 3 hrs we were changed, very good at the front desk listen to you when you need something. Would go back again , it was our 4th time there, K&Brizz

Fiesta Americana Riviera Nayarit: Fantastic beach

Dreams is a beautiful property situated on one of the nicest beaches on Banderasa Bay and Julio, our beach waiter, is one of the best waiters ever. Check in was smooth, but there were a couple of anomalies with our stay. We were in the Ocean View tower, but only one elevator was working, which meant long waits, luckily we were on the 3rd floor so we could use the stairs. We had really good food for the most part, but one day the Barefoot Grill and Oceana were both closed at lunch (somethng wron [... read more]g in the kitchen) so we went to the buffet. But the buffet was almost completely lacking in food - no taco station, no fresh veggies for the pasta station, no bread, no cold cuts - basically you could have a lettuce salad and pasta with plain sauce. Luckily the issue in the kitchen was resolved and we were able to get a hamburger form the Barefoot Grill. But, overall our vacation was fabulous and the food at Portofino was divine. Our room was good, but I think its time they got rid of the jacuzzi tub on the deck and the giant bathtub in the room. Air conditioning worked great - which is always a plus. The staff we dealt with were all very helpful. All of the beach waiters were really good, never had to wait very long for a drink but our checkout was a bit of a trainwreck - only one clerk to check out way too many guests. But yes I would go back - mainly because the beach is so beautiful - soft golden sand, no rocks, gentle slope into the water so the waves weren't too powerful. Spent all our time on the beach and could always get a lounge chair under a palapa - rest, relax, read - take a dip in the ocean then into the pool to wash off the salt and back to the lounger. Doesn't get much better than that.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Beyond expectations and more

Beyond expectations and more The resort grounds were in immaculate condition. The rooms were clean and furnished with modern furnishings. All staff at the resort were extremely friendly and helpful. Food and alcoholic beverages lived up to high expectations
