Samba Vallarta: Samba Vallarta

The pools were great, beautiful grounds, great beach with easy access. Great outdoor games area with pool tables, foosball, etc. The food was very good. There was plenty of choices buffet style, an excellent breakfast egg bar, and the 2 restaurants (Italian & Mexican) were very good as well. The service everywhere was excellent. (Cleaning staff, bartenders, and dining area staff.) The rooms were musty and humid despite the air conditioning.

Bathrooms are dated, but were clean and perfectly functional. Overall the rooms were good enough. The resort is remote. We took a cab ride to Bucerias (12 minutes/$7.US). Puerto Vallarta is further. There is a great market in La Cruz (past Bucerias) on Sundays. Overall it was a very enjoyable week!

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Wonderful Resort

We booked this resort mainly based on the ratings we read on Tripadvisor and we found the statements to be true. It is an older resort but very well maintained and upgraded and the staff were terrific. We have never considered buying a "time share" but we decided to listen to the presentation at the resort about the Fiesta Americana Vacation Club. There was no pressure and the staff that presented it to us were very professional and pleasant. In the end, the math made sense and we bought a m [... read more]embership to Fiesta Americana Vacation Club. We are looking forward to many vacations at FAVC and their associated partners.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Royal Decameron

Likes: Overall cleanliness of grounds and unit was good, food was generally good, staff were first class, nice pools with lots of sun chairs, seeing lots of iguanas Areas for improvement: overall “hot” dishes were routinely not hot in most of the onsite restaurants, room furnishings in need of updating - very tired!

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Third time there!

We have loved our time there each time. They continue to improve the resort. The staff are great and always go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. Love watching the whales and dolphins from the poolside. We will definitely keep this on our list to return.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: OK Resort

The hotel room was great, clean and very friendly cleaning staff. Was not up to the Palladium standards compared to the Riveria side of Mexico at the same hotel chain. Kinda disappointed with the food at the buffet most times cold and not a lot available. The restaurants rotate days they are open so if missed that day out of luck and very hard to book. Beach BBQ was by reservation and was terrible. Loud rock music playing, not enough food (no dessert left for 2nd sitting) Not a pleasant expe [... read more]rience.

Plaza Pelicanos Club: “Хороший бюджетный вариант”

Соотношение цена-качество просто идеально. Убирают регулярно, персонал отзывчив и мил. Стараются помочь по мере возможности, все наши просьбы и вопросы без внимания не оставили.

Голодным остаться трудно, изысков особых нет, например из сыра предлагался только один вариант. Но с другой стороны и стоимость отеля совсем не запредельная. в январе поменяли все матрасы в старом корпусе.

Grand Marival Emotions Resort and Suites: Wonderful vacation!

Great food! Very attractive, clean, roomy accommodations! The beach was amazing! The grounds were immaculate! The staff was very friendly and helpful! The timeshare salespeople were always trying to entice you but we were firm and had no problems.We were in the Grand section and so the WiFi was free and throughout the resort. It did keep disconnecting but that was only a minor inconvenience. The area was very safe and had walking and bike lanes in both directions leaving the resort so we were  [... read more]able to go for a nice walk or bike ride every morning. We walked into the town of Bucerias which took about an hour and then took a taxi back. They offer a free city tour of Puerto Vallarta but since it was an all day excursion we opted to take a taxi in instead and just spent the morning. Be sure and ask the concierge what the price should be as it is a bit more to return but they will try and push the price up. We had a great time and will definitely return!

Grand Sirenis Matlali Hills: No more Serenis ever again!

Please understand - we are not nit-pickers OK? We love Mexico and understand that some things are a bit different there sometimes. We were at this resort Feb.2017 and had a wonderful experience! We had a room in the new tower building that just opened a couple of mounts before. We loved the room and the view. So we went back Dec.2017 again. We didn't mind the hilly walkways to the buffet either. The room we got this time was a detached suit that had no hot water, door didn't lock, lights and the [... read more] safe didn't work and the rickety shuttle bus couldn't drop us off at our suit as it had no parking brakes and had to park at the bottom of the hill. The little buses were also thoroughly thrashed inside, no door-handles, the driver had to get out and open it from the outside and the seats were ripped out of the floor and tied together with the seat belts. We spent our first 2 days trying to remedy our problems but got the run-around from staff. Christian the little guy who wore the manager badge that week was totally incompetent. Finally we were given a superior suit in the new tower were we were before. The room was not cleaned, the floor was full of hair and dirt, the safe didn't work here either and we kept being locked out of our room as the lock wasn't working. The food at the buffet was always cold except if we ordered fresh from the chef. At the classy Brazilian restaurant our beer was brought to us in a can. We had to open it our selves and drink out of the can as we didn't get a glass. From the 5 course dinner we only got served 4 as the waitress forgot one step. Staff was nice but lacked any training and even they admitted that there was a lot of problems with the service. The pools needed better cleaning and there was always a shortage of towels, we had to hunt down the towel-dude and beg to get one. We were very disappointed with our second visit as we would expect better service from a hotel of this rating and we will not go there again.

Las Palmas by the Sea: Best place to stay in PV

Our stay was fantastic, the hotel is older but clean and very well kept. ALL STAFF are friendly and good at remembering everyone's name. Francesco who works in the spa went above and beyond for our family. Between the six of us we used the spa 17 times. We will never stay anywhere else.

Riu Palace Pacifico: High expectations!

Hotel is very nice, well maintained and clean. As it was a fair bit more price wise than the Riu Vallarta, I had high expectations all around. The pool area was nice as was the beach but there is a shortage of bathroom facilities with only one by the pool under the buffet area and the other off the lobby area. Main Buffet had a lot of variety, the lunch buffet at the Toscana restaurant was poor as nothing is kept warm enough. Poolside barbecue daily was good! Ribs there were delicious.

Hotel catered more to the senior crowd and we’re not quite there yet so maybe in a few years it’ll be perfect!

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Quaint, friendly, relaxing

This small and quaint resort was wonderful in every way, except there is next to nothing going on in the evenings. It’s an older crowd of people here, most are 50+ and all the resort would have to do is convert their outdoor taco place at night into a small dance floor and have a DJ playing some familiar tunes from say 7:00-10:00. That would be all that was needed to turn this excellent resort into a fantastic resort.

Las Palmas by the Sea: Absolutely great, especially the staff!

Just got back yesterday and I can't say enough good things about our 10 days at Las Palmas by the Sea. We always found something good in the buffet and a place to rest our weary bones. We were looking for 10 days of R&R and Las Palmas did NOT let us down. Many thanks to ALL of the staff for making our stay enjoyable. Too many names to mention but a special thank you to Fransisco who was manning the poolside massage area and went way out of his way for us one day. Fransisco I hope I am not missp [... read more]elling your name. David, Guadilupe, Oscar, Edgar, Elizabeth, Yolanda... as I say too many to mention individually. Perhaps next time I should take notes because each and every one of them deserves recognition for how hard they work and how well they do! We only get a winter vacation every two or three years so I can't say we are seasoned travelers BUT we HAVE been to three countries and four resorts and, given the opportunity we would not hesitate to go back to Las Palmas by the Sea.

Grand Sirenis Matlali Hills: Amazing Mexican Resort

What a beautiful resort over looking the mountains, very clean, pristine gardens.Staff are amazing and looked after us no mater where we were on the resort from the very start, Mario resort driver was fabulous gave us a tour of the grounds and helped with bags was always offering a drive to where ever we were going but we enjoy walking.

You could feel all your stress disappear. The drinks never stopped flowing (Gentle) bartender at both pool bars made sure we were never with out out Champagne. The man working at the adults pool (Towels) had us set up every morning with ashtray, fresh towels and magazines. I wish I knew his name, he was amazing even help staff with drinks.The staff are amazing we will be back, thank you for a wonderful stay. Food was great a smaller buffet than other resorts we have been to but always fresh and good quality.Our favorite A la Carte was the Italian we ate at all the A la Carte restaurants but the lasagna at the Italian was fabulous The Sky bar was wonderful, theme nights were fun. The resort was quite and relaxing..The Ocean bar was nice Daniel our server has the greatest sense of humor and looked after us well. Snack bar order wings we had them most days so good.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Excellent resort

Everything was spotless, workers were always helpful from staff in buffet, bars, to the beach staff and sundeck staff. Entertainment was really enjoyable. Spa was easily accessible. Zumba and yoga classes good, just wish I'd gotten out biking.

Buenaventura Grand Hotel and Great Moments: Great location.

Great proximity to the downtown. Good variety of food from day to day. Beach is rocky. Rooms are fine, but not all have balconies. Staff are great. Pool is missing some tiles but they are fixing it. Good stay overall!

Grand Palladium Vallarta: The good out weighs the not so good

Hotel was nice, rooms were larger than other resorts I've been too and the service was great. My only con, would be the buffet however the cliental it is focused toward would appreciate it more than say myself who enjoys spicy food and flavors. The restaurants were fantastic and if you go right when they open at 6 and are willing to wait 30-45 minutes you don't even need a reservation. I really don't have a bad thing to say. You are in Mexico at a resort, not the Wynn in Vegas. Tons of activitie [... read more]s to do throughout the day, enthusiastic staff and an overall great atmosphere. We had a great vacation.

Marival Emotions Resort and Suites Riviera Nayarit: Great time!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the hotel- however we did have to switch rooms when we first arrived as the tub and sink did not drain. However our second room was great. We loved there adults pool! It was a very clean facility with pleasant workers. However we were a bit disappointed we were only able to get into two al le carts

Marival Emotions Resort and Suites Riviera Nayarit: Good hotel

The hotel was nice and the pools were great. We liked the quiet pool. Buffet food was okay. We didn’t know ahead of time that we needed to book the restaurants and couldn’t get into many which was very disappointing. We were on the club side and rooms were okay but would book the grand side next time if we were To go back. The staff was amazing.

Delfin Beach Resort Puerto Vallarta: Great well priced getaway

This is an older hotel that is constantly being cleaned and maintained. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It has recently changed ownership and you can see the new owners are taking on the huge task of bringing new life into this gem. Beds could be replaced and some rooms still need updating but you cannot beat the location. I have now stayed in this hotel 4 times and it is just getting better.

Grand Marival Emotions Resort and Suites: Great Vacation

Staff at this resort are exceptionally friendly and helpful. It is and older resort, but the upkeep is good. No issues with food. They could use more queen and king beds as we got a room with twin beds, not a romantic holiday!
