Now Amber Puerto Vallarta

Just got back from an amazing trip to the Now Amber. As disabled wheelchair bound traveler we have been able to many resorts in Puerto Vallarta over the years. We found the Now to be very accessible with wheelchair accessible rooms. Ahead of time I was able to contact the Concierge Daniela and arrange for the handicap room and a booking at the chefs table in the Hibachi restaurant, she was able to honor our request, very much appreciated. Right from our arrival the friendliness and concern for our wellbeing was very evident. The staff were amazing, with their energy and smiling faces were friendly and very helpful. All the staff display courteousness, professional and a happy spirit that we appreciate and could learn from, they all deserve a big shout of praise and applause! Now for the resort itself, it is very beautiful and well looked after and did not seem to crowded or noisy at 71 per cent occupancy. Chairs and towels were always available. We were able to try Capers Italian restaurant 2 times, the food was amazing and had many choices. The Castaways restaurant had many choices including Surf and Turf and coconut ice cream. The Hibachi grill was an enjoyable food and entertainment experience and the Himitsu Pan Asian restaurant was great. We were able to book the French restaurant in the Secret side as well.Every morning w e would go to the Coco Caf? and get our coffee ,loti or cappuccino , and go to the beach and enjoy the ocean. Breakfast and lunch at Carnival had many tasty food options. Our handicap room was spacious and had everything we could ask for including a beautiful view of the resort and the ocean. The grounds were well maintained with a lot of room for everyone. Really, staying at any resort as we have been to many in Puerto Vallarta over the years one may encounter a few hiccups and things that may not go your way . We must remember that sometimes it is us that may have to make an attitude adjustment and go with the flow and enjoy yourself.

The Now Amber is very beautiful. We were not advised at check in that the room numbers are on the ground so we found it a bit challenging locating our room initially. The rooms are very nice and spacious and have a sliding door separating the room from the washroom with a separate door for the toilet. The El la Carte restaurant was very good with very nice presentation

This is an exceptional resort. I loved the spaciousness of the resort without being too large. A beautifully design lobby area - a modern twist with authentic Mexican decor. The rooms are a substantial size, and provide all the necessary amenities. The pools area is well designed with a large number of lounge chairs to choose from to catch some Vitamin D. A bonus is a swim up bar in the pool area.

This a beautiful resort. The rooms are very nice and the views are spectacular. The Italian restaurant was my favourite, delicious! Excellent staff and service and a great location in Puerto Vallarta. You can walk to the Malecon in about 40 minutes. The beach in this area is the one downside. No fault of the resort, is just typical of this area. Just a bit rocky. The upside to the beach is that the servers come right to your chair to serve you. Still very nice if you're sitting and sunbathing and people watching. If you prefer a no Kid-zone you could try next-door at Secrets for an adult only experience, they are attached.

Now is Wow...!!! Luxury, location, views, beautiful clean rooms and amazing food! Let's not forget the staff, always eager to help and please you!!!

Excellent hotel with a beautiful view! Great location, 5 minutes away from downtown and good for both families or couples. Spacious room with separate space for the bathroom and shower and bathtub. At night you could hear the surf from the waves, very relaxing! Great selections of restaurants and food, the staff are all amazing! I was here with a group but would like to come back on my own time soon!

This is a great hotel with great service. The rooms were quite large and the service was amazing. The food quality was very good and highly recommend the Italian restaurant. We arrived quite late at the hotel and was happy to see that we could still get into the a la carte restaurant at 10pm.

The Now Amber is an elegant resort. Although I found check in to be very slow, they were detailed & informative when it was my turn. I found the room number hard to find, until I realized it was on the ground. Quirky, but easy to navigate once understood. The room was spacious and I liked the separate room for the toilet. The dual sinks in the bathroom was nice and having sliding doors made the room feel more spacious. The restaurants were delicious with attention to detail. The property was full when we went, but didn’t feel crowded and the waiter at the pool took care of us. I enjoyed the location and would definitely stay there again!

Certainly not a five star resort. Sales, sales and more sales. From the moment you check in with the reception desk until you depart, somebody is trying to sell you something. Vacation Club, spa, tours, trinkets, t-shirts' hats, and on and on. The beach is sub standard and full of pebbles. If you plan on swimming in the ocean you will need beach shoes or very tough bare feet. Food was edible but not remarkable. If cigarette and cigar smoke bother you then be prepared. People a surprising large number of them smoke wherever they like INCLUDING in the lobby area, pool side and even while in the pool. Lots of private functions mainly weddings but no private function area - they just kick you out of the pool section they're taking over for the function. Full credit though to resort staff. They do go out of their way to provide the best service possible. I'd also like to give a shout out to the WestJet rep Monica. She was/is wonderful.

This resort was billed as 4.5 stars but I would dispute that rating. The hotel was okay but not luxurious. The beds were hard and the pillows like bricks. The buffet for breakfast and lunch was mediocre. The evening restaurants were only good to average. The French one was the best by far. It was nice to have access to Secrets next door but it was really not much different as a resort. The gym was old and not clean, with broken machines. The beach in Puerto Vallarta seemed to be polluted. For the first time ever on a trip to Mexico we didn't swim at all because there was brown scum in the water; no other tourists seemed to be in there either. Perhaps it was the dirty and polluted creeks and lagoons that flowed into the bay, or the horse manure left on the beach that caused the pollution. We couldn't even sit and read on the beach because of the booming music from our own resort and Secrets next door each competing to be louder. Give it a pass. There are much nicer places to go in Mexico.
