Hotel Riu Palace Pacifico - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"very clean and organized 10/10"

Delta Hotels by Marriott Riviera Nayarit, An All-Inclusive Resort

10/10 Excellent

"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! One of the most beautiful hotels I've stayed in. PROS: -The staff is amazing. -The SPA is gorgeous and the massages are incredible. -The rooms are lovely. -You have to walk a lot, but there are golf carts that take you everywhere. CONS -The food.... There are only 2 restaurants you can eat at breakfast/lunch/dinner and the food is okay/mediocre at best. The only restaurant that's good, allows one reservation per stay and no more. -It's not next to the beach, but there's a hotel mini buss that takes you there."

The Paramar Beachfront Boutique Hotel - Downtown Malecon

10/10 Excellent

"We loved how central to everything this hotel is located at! Really appreciated the parking space always available as we came in and out the hotel throughout the 5 days we'd stayed. The front desk people and all the staff were very helpful, kind and professional at all times. Loved the suite room! Very spacious, very clean, very comfortable, the ocean view was fantastic!! And the easy access to the beach at walking distance was just perfectly handy to walk to and enjoy the beach! Residents and hotel guests, agreed with the stress-free and safe atmosphere at all times. Breakfast was also included, daily, which we really enjoyed, as it is cooked a la carte, one plate at a time. The roads are bumpy but people drive slow and in calm enough for new tourists to be able to join the traffic flow. We highly recommend Paramar Hotel in Puerto Vallarta!"

Secrets Bahia Mita Surf & Spa - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The food at the restaurants were great! Drinks at the pool and bar were also great. Minimal wait time for food but only one restaurant used a reservation. Our walk was a little long from the room to the pool/beach but not unreasonable. Expect to see some kids where the two resorts combine. Great stay nonetheless, highly recommended."

Buenaventura Grand Hotel & Great Moments - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The room staff was excellent all the waiters in restaurant and bars were really great. The wonderful lady making omelets and eggs was the best. Sometimes I wish the food was a little better. Deserts were absolutely delicious."
