Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great Resort

All amenities required for a fun vacation are provided at the resort. Short walk to Bucerias to experience the local atmosphere. Some improvements for a better experience: Better WiFi access to all parts of the resort, maintenance & cleaning of adjacent Pool/Beach-Bar bathrooms.

Las Palmas by the Sea: Great Resort

The resort is a solid 3.5 star. The food was great (not a huge selection, but good enough). The staff are very friendly and the service in the buffet and a la carte restaurants was excellent. All restaurants are outdoors, 1 buffet, 2 a la carte and you can go to the a la carte's all week for dinner if you want to, you just have to book each night's dinner the same day between 11 and 2 pm with Rosa. The building is 40 years old, but very very clean! There are no fridges or coffee makers in  [... read more]the rooms, but that was not a deal breaker. We were in room 401, an Ocean View room. It was a corner room, with 3 sliding doors, the breeze that came through was amazing. The beach is not white sand, more brown, lots of little pebbles, and a rough undertow so we were only able to go in up to our knees. We spent the rest of the time at the adult pool. The butler service at the adult pool runs from about noon to 5pm and he was terrific (Guadalupe)! Staff are quick to kick out children (under 18) who wander into the adult pool area. We walked to the Walmart which was about 40 minutes away and took a bus back for $7.5 pesos each which is about $0.35 US. The area is really safe, I actually walked to the bank myself and felt safe. I would definitely go back!

Las Palmas by the Sea: great resort

Everything is great , hotel staff and rooms are very comfortable , the location is excellent , resort is extremely clean . Very easy to get around resort with some mobility issues . A very positive experience .

Grand Marival Emotions Resort and Suites: More than I expected

Everything was amazing. Food room , beach, service. ETC .I loved the beach and the pool , nice beach to go for a walk and enjoy the sunset . The resort is only couples minutes from the airport . Best yet vacation .

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Beautiful location

Amazing view. We really enjoyed our visit! Clean, great for the whole family. Viktor at the water sport was very nice and helpful. The Pop team was very good and engaging . The mini zoo was fun and the à la carte restaurants were very good.

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta: Lovely Resort!

The Occidental is a very nice resort! Not too big, it would be good for anyone who may have accessibility needs. It is clean and modern and the staff were friendly and helpful. Food was good with fresh salsa and guacamole and other Mexican foods available every day...yummy! I was really impressed the hotel does not use disposable plastic cups, plates or cutlery, no straws etc. All food is served on dinnerware, cloth napkins etc! Only plastic water bottles in the rooms and it appears they recycle [... read more] them! The beach here is great, you can walk for miles and at low tide the flats make for a nice even walking surface. Nice ambient music in the main buffet and along the covered walkway. Entertainment was resort fare but changed nightly and was good. My only suggestions would be for the resort to provide free wifi if even just in the lobby. Also the full ocean view rooms are directly over the lobby bar and the sound does carry up at night, so if you want a quieter room suggest a room on the sides. Wine is just a basic Spanish white or red, but the mixed drinks were good.

Samba Vallarta: Had a great vacation

The resort itself is older but spotless. The staff are extremely hard working and friendly. Food and drinks were good. Overall feel is relaxing. No party like the Riu next door. The beach is truly amazing and there was always a palapa available.

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: Very nice vacation.

This resort has been gradually upgraded since we were there three years ago. Everything was great including the food and drinks. Employees were also as good as we have found at any resort. Hector and Noel in particular. We chose the Supersaver room so it was a bit small but well kept and the maid service for the room was great. No shortage of water and it tasted great throughout the restaurants and bars and plenty of bottled water supplied for use in our room. No sickness or upset stomachs throu [... read more]gh our 2 week stay. The Beach Club was also very nice with a great beach and food/bar/washroom set up for use during the day. 15 minute walk or short bus ride provided there and back every day, no charge. I recommend the resort sets up a better system for providing change easily for guests for tipping and also provide a reciprocal free day pass agreement with The Royal Decameron in PV to allow guests to try it out and possibly book there as well in the future. That would make for a nice day excursion.

Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa: Very nice hotel

Hotel was good nice and clean Food however was just okay. The portions that they gave us in restaurant and also Buffett were small. Cleaning the rooms was good however a few times the maid was late and had to call to get the room done Liked the coffee place and enjoyed have a late night cold or hot drink with dessert. After being on the resort for a few days they did not have ice cream for the rest of my stay. Overall had a nice time but again the food could have been better.

Las Palmas by the Sea: Nice Resort

Spent two weeks and loved the staff service. Dining room staff were amazing as well as bar and beach beveridge individuals...namely, Gabriella, Alejandro, Guadaleupe, Edger, David at the lobby bar....they work so hard. Make sure you tip occasionally. We will be back for that reason alone. Front desk and everyone were outstanding overall. Wine was horrible..they need to change this. Ocean rough but thats normal in the area. Loved the quiet pool option as the kids pool was very busy.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Amazing resort!!!

We really liked this resort. Was very clean, rooms were great, staff was very friendly and helpful. Service and food at all the restraunts was good. The selection at buffet was good for all people. Nightly entertainment was fantastic. Only downfall was there are a lot of stairs which isn’t great for wheel chairs or strollers. But would definitely visit again!!!!

Grand Palladium Vallarta: 18th times there and continue to return once or twice a year!

Easy to get to from anywhere in Canada. Great value, amazing property and staff. So many options for food and secret areas to chill. No other resorts around like many areas, you feel like you have your own private retreat, not to mention the best surf break in the area!

Delfin Beach Resort Puerto Vallarta: This is a lovely, well run resort.

Location, location. location - perfect for any traveller who wants to experience the Zona Romantica, Los Playos beach and pier. Very well kept property with friendly and caring staff. You won't go wrong choosing to stay unless you want the Taj Mahal with all the bells and whistles. We really enjoyed ourselves and felt welcome at all times.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Love this resort

Great value for the money, clean, friendly, good food, lots of pool and beach area. Close to small town market with nice friendly shops along the way. Nightly entertainment is excellent. Definitely recommend and will return.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Wonderful time again at the Royal Decameron

We so enjoy coming back to the Royal Decameron near Bucerias. The hotel is large enough to have variety with the 5 better dining options and two buffets. You don't come here for pool and beach service, or a fridge and coffee maker in your room - we don't need that! We come for the easy going atmosphere, the returning guests year after year, the wonderful staff there. The grounds are nice, you are close to walk into Bucerias, they have stretch classes on the beach and bicycles to borrow. The [... read more] beach is excellent with walking available in both directions. There are beach locations for a one hour massage for just $20.00 USD. My only suggestions to the hotel would be, a hook in the public washrooms to hang a towel or bag, better wine and a few more umbrellas for shade at the Adult pool. Otherwise we LOVE it hear and will keep returning back.

Riu Flamingos: Stay away

I’ve stayed at many rius over the years from lead in to palaces in multiple destinations and have never had a negative review about the chain. I just came back from a week at the Riu Jalisco and I must say I was quite disappointed. I really hope it’s just because it’s end of high season. I have nothing against the locals paying to come on property but their defiantly being favoured over Canadians etc. We’re being told we can’t wear a cotton t shirt into the pool (never hear [... read more]d of this and we own a pool), no balls or floats in the pool, I get rules are rules but if you tell us no you have to tell the locals as well. We just stayed at the Riu negril in December and we could wear cotton shirts in the pool, play with balls etc, why isn't it consistent with all the hotels in the chain? When we ask for an explanation they just say they don’t speak English. You’re in the service industry as security and a lifeguard you should be able to speak both dealing with the public. Don’t have to be fluent but should be able to hold a conversation. Someone has been in our rooms and we’ve noticed items moved or misplaced and it’s not the maid or mini bar guy as the rooms were still dirty and fridge still not stocked. When we ask front desk they say they don’t know and will de activate cards. Very strange. The food is the same every day, maybe it’s bc start of low season? I’ve stayed at lots of Rius and always impressed by the selection and quality. No clean towels for the room, the hotel is not even 100% occupancy I’m very surprised 2 days into the trip a shortage of towels daily. We’re going into the hallways tracking down the maids begging for a towel or 2. Tons of palapas along the pool which was great for the kids being in the shade, but when they nap I want to enjoy the sunshine so would move my chair out and then minutes later I’m being told off that I can’t move the chairs like that?! We were taking family photos along the coast and grass edge and again security comes over and tells us we can’t take pictures here. Go down to the beach to finish our shoot and come back watching a Mexican family taking photos at the grass edge and nothing is being said as security watches on. Again no consistency I’ll be told you can’t come in without sandals again another rule no problem I’ll go get them, but then I’m coming back in and someone else same thing bare foot and they just smile and welcome them in. I felt like we were targeted, everywhere we went eyes were on us. I’m playing in the pool with my kids and the lifeguard is pointing at my family and I can overhear him complaining about us. At that time I’m furious I go to the front desk to complain and was told these are the policies of the hotel. We defiantly made the best of it and was happy for each others company but I’m so disappointed with our experience. Susiegirl

Decameron Los Cocos Guayabitos Ramada: AMAZING TIME

We enjoyed our time at Decameron Los Cocos very much. The food and staff were great, the rooms were a little dated but very clean. There were many Mexican families at the resort and sometimes it got a little noisy but all in all it was a GREAT experience. If you want to see some of REAL Mexico this is the place to go. Great beach to walk on and Rincon de Guyabitos was a tipical Mexican resort town.

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Amazing services !

Excellent services, food was very good and fresh, first come first served a la carte restaurants with no line-ups , no complaints whatsoever on this resort. I will not hesitate to recommend this to all my friends !
