Hilton Vallarta Riviera All-Inclusive Resort, Puerto Vallarta

Hilton Vallarta Riviera All-Inclusive Resort, Puerto Vallarta

8/10 Good
"The rooms weren’t particularly clean, especially the floors, and they felt a bit worn and dated. The food was mediocre. The pools were busy, but it was still easy enough to find a sun lounger. The hotel beach, however, is beautiful!"

"Not a five star, but really an amazing place in the jungle. Slower pace, excellent friendly staff! Clean rooms and plenty of food choices! Dont be afraid to venture to the local Mismaloya beach for a local meal, drinks, massage, rent a panga and go to another beach! You wont regret it! Its truly a hidden gem!!"

"Beautiful gardens and pool, very clean, good AC, simple accomodations. Short walking distance to beach, zoo, bus stop , and tours. I didn't notice other hotels this close to everything that weren't huge resorts. Great location as it was much quieter and natural than PV yet a short bus ride away from the city. The beach was gorgeous and fun. Sometimes loud at night due to neighborhood music playing. Gracias !"

10/10 Excellent
"We love this hotel and have stayed here three times. We deeply regret their decision to become an all inclusive this Spring. Puerto Vallarta is a great place to go out to eat and enjoy the town, we are not interested in staying in the hotel all the time or paying for food we wont eat. I hope they reconsider this decision, we would return if they did."
