Go somewhere else!!!

I've never left a review on anything in my life but I have to for this place. This was my wife and I's first trip to Mexico (actually anywhere hot) and man were we let down by this "all inclusive" resort. The room we had in the tower wasn't too bad but the railing on the 11th floor balcony was scary loose so I'm very glad we didn't have the kids there. It had a great view of the ocean which was nice. The shower water spread into the entrance area unless you had a towel by the door. And you didn't want to use a towel for that because they don't give you enough of those unless you beg the cleaning lady. The majority of the staff seemed very grumpy and non attentive. The one person we did really like was a bellboy named Jaime, he was great from the moment the taxi dropped us off. They need 100 more of that guy. No booze included in the room, just 2 bottles of water and had to beg for more of those. The food was absolutely terrible!! The omelette bar was disgusting! Chicken crap covered eggs being cracked with bare hands then grabbing other ingredients with the same raw egg and poop covered hands to make the omelette. Then she turns around and makes breakfast tacos with the same hands as well. This was an every morning deal as well as the birds flying around crapping everywhere and eating muffins and other food. I guess at least they enjoyed the food. We ended up going to Costco to buy food to make our own breakfasts. We ate out for dinner almost every night as well. There were supposed to be 2 A la Carte restaurants but they weren't open. They told us that they were doing a special deal for everyone and offering an Italian night and an Oriental night for free instead. We went to town on Italian night and asked other guests how it was the next day. They said it was disgusting. We asked someone coming from Oriental night how it was and they said surprisingly very good so we went to try it. It was so gross!! That was it, we never ate another thing from this place the rest of the trip. The bars were junk!! All of the drinks at the pool bar tasted pretty much the same, overly sweet. Beer was only draft. Bartenders were all grumpy looking, even when you left a tip. I don't mind leaving tips for good service but tips here got you nothing so we completely stopped giving them. The Lobby bar never seemed to be open at their posted times and when they were it was a poor area to hang out anyway. Who wants to hang out in the lobby of a hotel? The pool was ok besides them never having the filters on so garbage would be floating around all the time. We saw people steady cleaning stuff out as did we when we were in there. This place has absolutely no night life at all after supper, It pretty much shuts down. First night had some terrible band out in the courtyard and second night had a really terrible singer in the restaurant during supper. That's all we saw for "entertainment" We will definitely go back to Puertra Vallarta but I will NEVER go back to this place!!

Great vacation

Catherine L on Mar 24, 2024

We loved this resort. The personnel is very friendly. We reserved a king size bed and saw we were three people and gave us a rolling bed for free. The room was very clean and up-to-date. The balcony was perfect with ocean view. When we ask for service they come right away. Everything was working perfectly. The food at the restaurant was very good. A lot of variety. Lots of chairs around the pool and on the beach. The resort is very clean. Even though it was spring break they were a lot of people but it’s still seem to be fairly quiet. The resort is a short walk to the Marina. We will come back.

Fun stay even if my flight was cancelled

Very clean and great staff. I stayed here during a cancelled flight and was pleasantly surprised. Good food at the buffet, as well. Seems quiet while I’m here, must not be the busy season. But if that’s what you’re looking for, this is the spot for you.

Suggestions.

I fell the karaoke should be located in a different area of the resort. Whether you are having a nice meal, want a nice night cap, or are checking in for the first time. To have it in the main lobby every night gets a bit much. The beach club would be a perfect place for this, except maybe the once a week they do a show there.
