Hotel Friendly Fun is clean, consistent, and offers good food and drinks. Overall, I have no real compliants. It was bad luck on our part that two restaurants were closed and under inprovement but it happens. I think there would have been more food variety if those two were open. Cheers to who ever makes the salsa there. Very good and very spicy. Loved it. While I don't have any compliants, I have a couple of suggestions. In the adults section, the only shade is near the bar by the pool. There are so many spots below in the sand but way too sunny and hot. Provide some umbrellas or those nice covered beds in the area. Maybe also put up some kind of sunshade over half the pool. Us old people need a bit more shade. Along those lines, apart from my room, there was no place to go cool down. Having an air conditioned place to hide in the main building and have a drink would be nice. There is a place with pool tables that no one uses. Maybe consider re-doing this area as a snack and simple drink area? I've seen that in other places where you can get simple food, soda/water, and maybe beer. Put in some soft music and you have a good place for people to hang out. Maybe some better beer in the room fridge. Light Corona!?! The staff did a great job and a special shout out to Jesus the waiter. He was very friendly and provided amazing service to us. Thanks.

The hotel is very clean,watching the sun set here is the best

We had a nice stay at the Friendly Fun Vallarta in May 2026. All kitchen staff were great (Jesus, Sergio) and the entire entertainment team were great. The one that stands out is Kari, I did most of the aquacises with her and also interacted throughout the day at the beach volleyball court or the bracelet making. Kari is very kind, frie ndly and energetic! We loved her!

Very nice people . Enjoyed the service and food. Kari was very good at providing our entertainment and making us feel like a somebody.

The location and the atmosphere are good
