Grand Sirenis Matlali Hills: Quiet and Relaxing!

This hotel is a great little getaway if you are looking for an adult atmosphere. The rooms are very clean although not very soundproof. The public areas and pools are well cared for and kept in good condition. Food was so-so. I would like to have had more authentic Mexican dishes or some more variety.

Grand Palladium Vallarta: Beautiful Resort

This resort was a little overwhelming at first but once you figured everything out it was easy. There are a lot of stairs and lots of uphill walking so would not be good for people with mobility issues. The resort itself is beautiful & well maintained. There are 3 pools within the resort. The beach is actually very nice. If you go close to the vendors the sand is a lot better. The food was absolutely amazing. You won’t starve & there is always somewhere to get something to eat around the clo [... read more]ck. The staff were so friendly & couldn’t do enough for you. Rooms were clean & well kept. There is lots to do at this resort so you will never be bored. All in all this was a wonderful vacation & we can’t wait to go back.

Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa: Wonderful Resort

We were very impressed with the grounds, our room, the food, the staff, and the location (close to town). The week we spent here was so relaxing. There was always a lounge chair available by the pool or beach, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. We avoided the talk about time-sharing, but it was a bit awkward. The room wasn’t always made up until later in the day, and my main disappointment (even though it is very small) is that there was no lotion provided with the other toiletr [... read more]ies. It is so nice to put on after being in the sun all day, and I didn’t bring any with me, as usually there is a bottle of skin lotion.

Costa Club Punta Arena: Great potential

I need a room where there are no steps to get to it. This hotel only had 3 rooms in the garden area that fit this criteria. After one night in the garden room which had steps we were moved to the tower which has an elevator. The garden rooms are clean but very shabby. The tower is new but sparsely furnished. If you like to read in bed bring a book light because there are no lamps in the rooms. The staff is excellent, friendly and willing to engage in conversations.The food although served [... read more] cafeteria style is really good with a lot of variety. Close to the Malecon so can walk to it. The pool area is large and well maintained, 1 kiddie, 1 adults only and 2 others. There seemed to always be enough lounges for everyone. All in all I would rate this at about 7 out of 10, only because the rooms need improvement.

Sheraton Buganvilias Puerto Vallarta Hotel: Amazing experience

The hotel is beautiful and clean. Food is amazing and the location is just perfect . The hotel had entertainment almost every night of the week and my overall experience was memorable . I would recommend this hotel to anyone . Perfect for family

Tropicana Hotel: Standard resort.

Grounds were nice and very clean place, dated rooms and bathrooms were a bit moldy. Don't buy the breakfast buffet style package...very bland tasteless. Pleanty if great local places to have a great breakfast for cheap prices. Hotel policy does not allow any guests up to your room so you can't invite your friends to enjoy a drink on your balcony.

Canto Del Sol: The BEST

Our rooms were great, clean with T.V and a safe for valuables, ladies looking after the rooms were very fussy. The three restaurants were clean and the food excellent. The buffet food was very good and plentiful. The large patio area was very clean also and the servers fast and very efficient. The hotel staff was very friendly, helpful &:courteous. Was our second visit and plan to again

Marival Emotions Resort and Suites Riviera Nayarit: Fair

We found that the food was not as good as the last two years that we stayed at this resort . The one other thing that I would complain about it that we tried to get a deal on some golf seeing this was our third year at their resort and they would not accommodate us with any .

Secrets Vallarta Bay: Great service, great views

We spent a week at the Secrets Vallarta during the beginning of January. We were very pleased with the service we received throughout our stay, including great service from Rodriguez and Manuel at poolside, Miguel at the spa, and Antonio, Cesar and Fernando at the buffet. The food was good, especially the pan-Asian fare at the Himitsu restaurant, though all the a la cart restaurants on the resort were delicious as well as the buffet. Drinks were great, especially notable was the great s [... read more]election of brands available at all of the bars and especially the lobby bar. Rooms were very clean and well taken care of, the Jacuzzi bath and large showers were especially appreciated. We were also lucky to see some whales right from our balcony as well as on a tour.

Playa Los Arcos: Excellent location!

We enjoyed the hotel location and food very much. Unfortunately we had to change rooms three times to find one that was in good enough condition to unpack our things. It took three days of going to the front desk to get the room changed! Again our new room needed to have the air condition on at all times to keep down the musty smell of humidity. Unacceptable!!

Riu Flamingos: Incredible resort

This resort was beautiful and very well laid out. Didn't have to walk all over. Food was good. Good variety. Drinks were premium. Room was great. Activities at the pool each day were so much fun. Staff was so helpful. OnE suggestion, a place where you can paint your own pottery.

Sunset Plaza Beach Resort & Spa: Wonderful Little Resort!

We loved the small friendly feel of this resort. The meals were good quality and staff helpful and friendly. The pools and grounds were lovely and amenities great. Every room has an ocean view, were a good size and up to date with roomy balconies. The location from town was close (2.5 km) and the resort had a nice stretch of sandy beach out front. Highly recommend this resort.

Samba Vallarta: Will return

The hotel is older so is not 4 star like Trip Central would like you to think, but is worth the money. The rooms are clean but need updating, the grounds are beautiful, the food is plenty, and the staff are great! They try to make you feel like family. It was our first time there and would definitely go back. We spoke to several people while we were there and they all said the same thing " we like the smaller resort feel and we return because of the staff". The beach is beautiful and staff [... read more] constantly around to see if you need anything. This is a resort where you do NOT have to tip to get the same level of service as someone who did tip.

Grand Sirenis Matlali Hills: Not for everyone

Good Points: The staff are amazing in their attitude and helpfulness. This resort is set on the mountainside, so there are no level roads or paths: you are either walking up a steep road, or down one. But there is always transportation nearby within minutes to take you where you need to go, and always a smile and good cheer from the drivers. The Japanese a la carte was beautiful and delicious. Not good points: There are several: First, there is no central lobby. You just check in [... read more] at the front desk, and that is it. There is a kind of central pool with a bar near one of the dining halls. That is where the nightly entertainment happens, which takes place in a ten foot space amongst the tables in this outdoor bar. The bar seats thirty people. There is no shop. If you need aspirin or sunscreen, or want a t-shirt, then off you go to town by taxi, because there is nothing for sale on this property. Staff mistakes are on-going and plentiful. I was locked out of my room once, but my neighbours had it twice. There is no drinking water from the tap, and they give you jugs of fresh water. But my brother and his wife ran out and they didn't replace the jug. So they were waterless and had to go to the bar. It is hit and miss as to what happens in your room regarding service. Towels are taken and not replaced. The fridge is replenished or not, depending on the day. Resort food is never great, but this was a low. Yes, they will make a nice omelette for you, but as to all the other buffet foods, I don't understand why everything seemed to have been soaked in salt. I am not very fussy, and enjoyed my stay, because hell, I was in Mexico, and there were pools and drink, and excursions, and I didn't mind climbing up and down those hills. But if you are like most I have met, and want to be pampered, not for you.

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel and Mexican Charm: We had an amazing time!

This resort is a very quaint old style hacendia casa! You don't know what awaits you until you go inside.. it is centred around a courtyard style casa. The rooms are around the exterior. The pool and snack are on one end close to the spa and the main buffet is in the centre. P This resort is perfect for young families who want to keep track of their little ones. Also perfect for middle age and older looking to relax. Also those with mobility issues consider this resort. Everything is within e [... read more]asy access. The beach is not a far walk and totally safe to go to and from the resort. I believe if u have mobility issues they have a van that can take you. You will find a snack shack at the beach as well. Although this is an older resort the staff are always working to keep it in good working order. There is one alacarte restaurant and we didn't even get there. There is some repetition but for the price we were very happy. They have on Thursday night a Mexican theme supper. On Saturday night it's BBQ night. They doll the one side of the resort all up fancy and it's very nice. They also have an Italian night as well. Th only down side is how close it is to the main road. We had our room right by the corner of the street light. Next time I will bring ear plugs lol. I will definitely be going back. On a side note if u r looking for something different to do in puerto Vallarta try the zoo! We did and we enjoyed it very much!! .

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta: Amazing resort to relax

The personnel is very polite, pleasant and upfront. A minor problem is that they should have more staff that could manage in English. It would be nice if they would have some shows during the evening for entertainment. Again, on positive side, never out of lawn chair, beach is nice, place is very clean and food is A1. It is a good place to relax and walking distance from 2 malls I would recommend it to anybody

Barcelo Puerto Vallarta: Fantastic resort

This was the perfect resort for our family of 9 people. The facilities were great and the rooms were superb. The food at the buffet was fantastic although I cannot say that about the restaurants. Will return to the same resort in a heartbeat

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Great resort

We just returned from a great vacation at Royal Decameron. We stayed in block 1 with beach front fantastic view. There was not one thing to complain about, great friendly staff, good food and lots of choice. Hotel was a little old but well kept and clean every where. The beach was clean with all kinds of lounges every where ,never had to wait for a free lounge. The bar keeps were all very nice and always made what ever you like with a smile. The kids pool and the adult pool were far away from ea [... read more]ch other, which for us older folks was great,nice quiet pool also with lots of lounges chairs and tables. All in all a great resort Tom Falkland B.C.

Buenaventura Grand Hotel and Great Moments: Enjoyed our stay at Buenaventura

We were there from January 5 -12, 2018. Flight to PV was good and a few minutes early. We could not check into our room until about 3pm. The check-in process was easy. Staff was friendly. This was our first visit to PV. Our room was small but nice. Clean. A/C worked well. Balcony is small. Ours had only a partial view of the ocean. Maid service was excellent. We tipped her every day. The grounds are well kept. It is a pretty place. A smaller resort though. So do not expect the dining opti [... read more]ons that a large resort provides. On the other hand, you are not in a crowd staying here. There are 2 outdoor bars. One is mainly for margaritas. The other serves everything. The pool is nice. One big pool plus a smaller one and one for kids. This is a family resort. The beach has nice sand. You can walk quite a distance on very fine soft or packed sand. Swimming is not the best here as the water gets deep in a hurry. The hotel is at a VERY good location. There are stores on the same block of you can walk to the Malecon in 15 minutes (6 blocks). The Malecon is worth visiting. The food is average. After a week, you tire of it. The security at the hotel is very good. They supervise carefully. The biggest letdown was the entertainment. It is not up to par. I was expecting more. One of the experiences you will have here or anywhere in PV is a faceoff with a time share agent. Be prepared. Be tough. Be ready to say no firmly.

Grand Decameron Complex Bucerias Trademark: Our vacation home

We have stayed at The Royal Decameron Complex 11 times, and every time, our experience has always been pleasureable. The staff are always friendly, rooms are clean, good variety of food and excellent entertainment, Picturesque's, we will be going back.
