Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel

The place was bad, with awful food. Band played to late for us as we go to bed early. People were not friendly and staff at front desk had no clue what was going on. Our room had no cold water in shower and was a total dump, never offered an upgrade until I asked for one.

My room was infested with bugs, they were on the beds and bathroom sink. When brought to the front desk attention the man laughed and said it was no big deal because they were termites. They ended up moving us to a different room on the first floor. No apology was given, I will never stay there again. Also there is no elevator.

If you are looking for a smaller, authentic Mexican hotel with excellent food and amazing staff who treat you like family, the Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel is the place to be! It was like a private oasis in the middle of PV. We stayed at the Hacienda Buenaventura hotel from March 9-19, 2020. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Lucia at the front desk who was super friendly and helpful with efficiently checking us in and helping us with questions throughout our stay. Every staff member we had contact with were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and exceeded our expectations from a service level standpoint. Everyone would greet us with a huge smile, a fist bump or hand shake and a "welcome to our family" comment. Although this was our first visit to this property, within a couple of days, it felt like we were coming there for years. A huge shout out to the restaurant staff and managment who worked tirelessly every day setting up food stations in the restaurant, around the pool and different areas of the property to make the dining experience more interesting. The food was always very tasty with a great variety of options available. The BBQ night and Seafood nights were a special treat. Although the hotel was not directly on the beach, it was only a short walk (or shuttle ride) to the beach club. The beach club was very well laid out with plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, fully stocked bar, wait staff and kitchen that cooked up delicious foods to order. The fish tacos and ceviche were amazing! The al a carte, specialty restaurant (Sabores de Mexico) was incredible!! Victor, Carlos and the rest of the serving staff (sorry, we cannot remember everyone's name) made every meal special and the presentation and taste of the food was 5 star. The squid was out of this world and we will be thinking of it until our next visit. The bar staff, Ivan, Eduardo, Miguel and everyone else who worked at the bar always provided excellent service and tasty drinks. Again, this is a group who worked tirelessly to make our vacation feel special. The grounds were filled with lush greenery and were impecably groomed. They were always cleaning and fixing the smallest defect to maintain the property which was great. The resident iguanas (which are huge!) frequently came out and walked around the property which was awesome to see. The greatest thing about this hotel was the fact that they did not allow people to smoke at the bar or around any of the eating areas which is hard to find in Mexico and other countries. They even had no smoking areas around 80% of the pool and only allowed smoking at the far back corner of the pool area away from everyone. WELL DONE!!!! The only small negative that we encountered was that they allowed smoking in the small courtyard by the front desk area. This is a beautiful little spot but unfortunately due to the number of smokers in this area, you had to hold your breath as you walked past it to get to the front lobby. It would be great if they made this a smoke free area as well. Overall, this is an amazing property and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Mexican experience and excellent hospitality!! We will definitely be back!!!!

What a great little gem of a place! We were initially apprehensive about location on the main highway but we heard no traffic. Staff were fantastic and eager to be of service. Lovely building with abundant character and kept impeccably clean. We have friends and family in PV and have already told them not to hesitate to recommend Hacienda Buenoventura to any of their visitors. The location is great being on a major bus route and close to the airport. Walking distance to the port for boat trips etc and a great flea market just a couple blocks away.

Everything was great!!!!! Thank you for everyone my beautiful time in the resort!!!! The beach was beautiful, The staff were friendly and helpful, the resort is clean, the food was tasty. The entertainment was great!! Thank you!!
