Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Fantastic Trip

This was our first time to this resort and we will definitely return. Our stay at Decameron exceeded our expectations. The resort was very clean and the beds were quite comfortable. The room was made up fresh everyday and we had lots of bottled water. The mini fridge worked great and kept our ice frozen. Overall the food was very good and no complaints whatsoever. However, the red wine was inconsistent, but ok. We will bring a couple bottles of our own next time. The employees were all  [... read more]fantastic and very friendly. The ocean was awesome to look at but a bit rough for swimming (for our liking). The fact that this resort has several pools and bars is a real plus. The staff work hard to keep them well maintained and clean. A plus for the resort was the friendly gentleman operating the pottery painting opportunity. Many people spent countless hours enjoying painting their pieces. We have never seen this at a resort before and we really enjoyed it. The iguanas were wonderful to watch and quite entertaining. The only downfall to the whole trip, which is no fault of the resort, was that we got "tricked" into a conversation at the airport; someone selling excursions, which was really a timeshare scam. We got taken for $120 USD. - Beware! Live and Learn.

Riu Flamingos: Nice surprise!

We really enjoyed our stay at the newly renovated Riu Jalisco. The resort is beautifully decorated and well maintained, with employees constantly cleaning everywhere. The staff was polite, friendly and hard working. The resort lay out is simple and well thought out for the most part. However, the show/disco area is located at the centre of the resort, which means that the sound can be heard from most guest rooms until late at night, which can be a problem at times. Although we did not expec [... read more]t professional shows, we were disappointed in the couple shows we attended. The food and drinks were varied and delicious. The beach is one of the best we have seen in years. Unfortunately, there is no shade. There are lots of chairs at the beach and the pools. We appreciated not having to look for a spot early in the morning. All and all, we had a great vacation and we are looking forward to going back.

Riu Flamingos: A very nice newly renovated, all inclusive resort

The resort was very nice and on a lovely stretch of beach in the Riviera Nayarit area. It is a little far removed from main PV area where most excursions run from so be prepared to do at least 45 min or more travel time to get them. There are only 3 true ala cart restaurants, The American (which has a very limited menu), the Italian and the Steak House which were both very good. The Mexican and Asian restaurants are really just glorified buffets, even though you have to wait in line from t [... read more]he time of opening to have a chance to get in. The food is all very typical "all inclusive" rate food, there is something for everyone so you won't go hungry, but it is by no means spectacular. The pools are lovely and there are always lots of loungers in the sun and shade available so you don't have to get up early and place your towels to reserve a spot, unless there is one you really want. The staff are all very friendly and the entire resort is kept very clean. The mini fridges in the rooms are supposed to be stocked every 2 days, but we had to ask anytime we needed something. There are also plenty of loungers on the beach, although not a lot of shade, since the palm trees were cut back during the renovations. We were lucky enough to be there during whale birthing time so saw lots of activity in the bay. They have paddle boards and kayaks you can borrow and go out to follow the many dolphins about. Overall a good resort for just adults and families as well.

Krystal Grand Puerto Vallarta: Ok

The hotel was fine. But it was the most dis-organized resort we’ve ever been to most workers wouldn’t speak English. When we were leaving because of a protest we had to walk 60 min to airport not their issue but did not help us to get to airport

Las Palmas by the Sea: Great value

Old resort, is showing its age. We love the people and service here. Our room had one light, the others did not work. Some bug entered our room and bit me all up at night. Bug was never seen or found. Good is average, but a great selection. This is a authentic Mexican resort. We will return.

Melia Puerto Vallarta: Incredible Resort! Great Location & Has Everything You Need

It was our first time at Melia and it is a wonderful resort. The location is perfect, you are about half way between downtown PV (to the south) and Bucerias / Punta Mita / Sayulita (to the north). It's ocean front is perfect, and just behind it you have the bustling Marina. The food was great, Especially at the restaurants you have to make reservations for. There were no lineups, not crowded at all. Love the pool! It has zero entry almost all the way round. We went with our young kids and the bu [... read more]nkbeds were a wonderful touch.

Canto Del Sol: Great resort

An excellent resort, very clean, sparkling clean pools, Friendly and outgoing staff The four restaurants served fine meals with friendly staff. The beach was always clean. Only problem was the rough sea and undertow. Lots of entertainment around the main pool with music and games every day. Maintenance people kept everything neat and tidy. Nightly entertainment was generally very good. Thoroughly enjoyed our 14 day vacation.

Delta Hotels Riviera Nayarit: Unique Resort

Grounds are well kept and an interesting layout. The golf cart to the top of the hill was great. Our room was lovely, and the bed super comfy. The many interesting pools scattered throughout the property were fun to explore and try out. We mastered calling to reserve a spot on the shuttle to get down to the beach. The beach club was lovely with attentive staff. Overall the food was ok, but nothing special....with the exception of the very cool "food truck" with delicious quesedillas in [... read more] the afternoon. Wish there was more entertainment as well.

Riu Flamingos: A wonderful resort

The remodelling is great. The rooms are amazing. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Just be careful around the pools they are very slippery to walk around. we saw many people slip and fall around them. We had a wonderful time there and the sunsets are amazing.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Holiday at Krystal Grand PV , Jan 18-25

The pools were great. Lots of room, Adult pool was always free of kids. Family pool was large and well used. They had some water aerobics which were fun and the instructors were great. The sand was probably one of the best beaches we have been to. There was always a shortage of lounge chairs and you had to get up early (5:30) to save yourself a spot. Most of the time the adult pool was quiet or nice “old time 60’s and 70’s “ music was played. But on a few days they cranked the volume and played  [... read more]techno stuff. At the same time the family pool was playing very loud music also. There was no place to go to escape the noise. The meals were great, the buffet had a great variety and while the layout was odd (2 regions with different foods on each) things worked, except for those people that refused to go clockwise or For those that cut in line. Richard called one guy out, “you must be American, because a Canadian wouldn’t do that.” The fancy restaurants were great but we couldn’t access the ‘app’ to reserve them, only Richard could because he had a black wrist band and just went to a special concierge to book them. Without Richard we would not have been able to eat in them. The coffee bar was fantastic and the baristas were very skilled and pleasant. The staff were very professional and friendly. Our room was okay. But we booked a kingsize bed and got 2 doubles instead. We made it work.The shampoo, body wash and body lotion were very cheap and produced no lather. The body lotion smelled like sour milk. Also, we requested a “garden view” but got a tree view. Initially we thought it was a good location, 4225, just down from the lobby, but we found out that on several evenings there was “entertainment’ right out front of our room. Bad karyoke very loud, is not good. Also there was an elevator right beside our room and this would not have been a problem except there was a roof top bar and all night drunks were going up and down and had to party loudly at our door every 10 minutes.There really was no evening entertainment, The internet was very poor. Kept kicking us out. No place in the evening to just sit and have a drink and visit, The lobby bar had about 8 chairs used for the Sunwing staff to book excursions, but in the evening some pulled them together, the rooftop bar had fewer, but had 2 kingsize beds??. A second floor bar had a pool table and about 10 chairs. Remember this place has hundreds of guests. Overall, I would say it was an okay experience but I don’t think I would recommend it to anyone over 30 and unlikely we will be going back.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Good budget resort

Food was ok, rooms were alright, however there are no elevators except in one building. If you were to end up on the 4th floor there is alot of stair climbing. Nice short walk to Bucerias Centro square with lots of shopping, bands playing and awesome street tacos.

Samba Vallarta: very good small resort among the big expensive hotels

excellent service throughout the resort , small but big enough to have everything needed , food is excellent , drinks are as you expect , closed to Bucerias , transportation to downtown vallarta available through local bus or uber

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel and Mexican Charm: Tired Old Resort

If they would just refurbish the old tired bathrooms we could have enjoyed our stay a bit more. The shower door was broken & didn't close proper. Water temperature fluctuated from hot to cold almost burning you at times. Whoever changed the sink certainly wasn't a handyman. Such a poor job the faucet was so close to the wall you couldn't get your hands around them. The tiled vanity top must have been done by a child. Very poor job and grout missing all over. It just didn't look sanitary. The toi [... read more]let seat flopped all over the place and needed tightening. You needed to hold the flush button down or it didn't flush anything down. Apparently the last upgrade was back in the early 80's and it shows. The room had very few plug ins for charging. Our view was the roof of the dining room. Not terribly attractive. Daily maid service was very inconsistent. Sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon & sometimes in the evening. Should have been more regular. Food was ok but nothing special. Very repetitive . No ice cream but the desserts were good as was the baked bread & buns. The plastic glasses from the bar were rinsed and used over again & again. Yes rinsed not washed. The Mexican employees were always very accommodating & friendly. This was the best part of the experience. I guess you get what you pay for. We like to enjoy the Mexican culture but this was just a bit too dated & shabby for our liking.

Armony Marival Resort and Spa Punta de Mita: Amazing place to spend vacations

We enjoyed 7 days all-inclusive in Armony resort. Beautiful nature, delicious food (a lot of choices), comfort and luxury and very friendly staff. Great memories of nice long walks along the ocean on soft sand. No weeds in very clean water and the water was pleasantly warm. Every day we could watch whales playing in the bay, turtles on the beach, pelicans and other little birds and fish in the water. Surprisingly no mosquitos or any other flies. No humidity. However, there are big waves on the  [... read more]beach that make swimming a bit complicated or limited. Usually, the waves were getting smaller in the afternoon but you need to be a good swimmer if you would want to swim in the ocean water

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great resort

I visited this resort 18yrs ago, I must say not much has changed, just some fresh paint. We really enjoyed it again. Everything is clean, staff are friendly and helpful and the food was great. I only have one complaint, the à la carte booking was ridiculous having to line up early in the morning just to try to book and you could only book for the day of. The recommended App did not work. We never ate at an à la carte as I was not wasting a few hours of our holiday standing in line.

Las Palmas by the Sea: Amazing Resort

Very clean everywhere. Always seemed like they were mopping or sweeping. Rooms were clean. Love the staff. Very friendly and welcoming. Loved the food, quite a variety everyday. The beach was very accessible and clean.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: First Time All Inclusive

I’ve never been to an all inclusive resort previously and I would definitely look for a different set of qualities in a resort next time. I found the hotel clean, the staff friendly and the overall environment very inviting. The food was consistent but pretty bland for my liking. The alcohol served was poor and I’m pretty sure watered down. I don’t drink much but when I do I would like a premium alcohol which isn’t watered down. I purchased my own beer from the local grocery store as a result. [... read more] I did notice other patrons had done the same.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Great resort

This was our 9th trip to Iberostar Selection Playa Mita and we have been to PV 26 times so far. For money spent this resort is excellent value. It isn't our favorite out of all of hem but 2nd in line and significantly less money comparatively. The buffet is always excellent with lots of fresh choices and on staff chefs to make you up something special. There is also someone coming through the dining area with a cart of special treats. The a la carte restaurants also have good food and are e [... read more]asy to get into. In the 12 years we have been going there it if course has more wear and tear and needs some TLC in spots but overall still great. This year we found it too busy and more kids then previous and most of the staff has slipped in their service because of being overworked but there are still some stand out workers. The beach is long and beautiful and so much fun to swim and boogie board but during full moons the water is high so your not getting out there until close to noon. They definitely need to replace the beach loungers and umbrellas but they are always available. When we have come with family the grandkids enjoyed the kids camp. All in all I would still say 4//5 for sure and possibly 5/5 if your coming with children and not going to an adult's only.

Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta: Stay At Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta

Stayed at the Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta from January 9th-16th in an Altitude Club Oceanview Double room. The hotel itself is nice and the grounds are well maintained and easy to navigate. There are multiple pools including an adults only pool. Long stretch of walkable beach in both directions. Only a few KM right into the town of Bucerias. Pros: - Most food and drinks were well prepared and tasty. - Room had an amazing view of the bay. - Concierge in the Altitude Club were very hel [... read more]pful. - Most resort staff greeted you with a smile. - Walking distance by path or beach to Bucerias. - Free room service with Altitude Club. Cons: - Almost impossible to get a lounger by the beach or pools. Towel game is in full effect at this resort with people reserving chairs as early as 4am. - Mexican a la carte has extremely slow service when we tried to eat there. Ended up leaving without eating there as the food never arrived. - Buffet, while the food was good, was repetitive and small and had limited options for the amount of guests at the resort. - Fixtures in room were worn/dated or broken. Handle for the diverter in the shower was missing. Balcony doors did not lock. - No designated area for Altitude Club guests by the pool or beach like in most resorts. Regardless of the cons we had a pleasant stay and were able to make the most of it. It's definitely a good pick if you like to venture off resort and explore the towns.

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Wonderful vacation at the Fiesta Americana!

We would like to thank all the employees for their kindness and hospitality. There are so many names to remember but some that stood out , Karla who booked our suppers from day to day, Rafael, Alejandro, Jorge, George, who waited on us from all the different restaurants. The food was excellent. Right up Martin at the front entrance who made sure our luggage went to our rooms and that our travels back to the airport was taken care of.
