Barceló Puerto Vallarta - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"All rooms face the ocean. Close to little walkway straight to the sea. Beautiful views"

Grand Park Royal Puerto Vallarta - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The housekeeping staff was extremely slow in responding to requests. Took a few hours to get some towels that were not there at check in. Took about 3 hours to get a plunger for our toilet that got clogged even after asking an employee that was passing by and two trips to the front desk. Housekeeping only came to clean the room once in our entire week there despite having the "please clean room" tag on the door. The kids club staff was absolutely priceless. The girls there recognized that my son was looking for me and helped him find me. There were fun activities for the kids to do and allowed them to bring home some hand made souvenirs. The servers at each of the restaurants were attentive, kind and family friendly. The food was amazing and I appreciate that it was not "Americanized". They kept with traditional Mexican fare and varied the food at the buffet with each meal."

Costa Sur All Inclusive Classico Collection by Sonesta

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."
