Top Colonia 5 de Diciembre Hotel Reviews

Occidental Nuevo Vallarta - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"We stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed our stay there."

Hotel Riu Palace Pacifico - Adults Only - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Unfortunate that we visited when hurricane simon was near which caused the hotel to be locked down for 1 day due to it. However, still had a pleasant time. All inclusive, food was decent and the drinks never stopped except when there was an alcohol ban during the lock down."

Hotel Tropicana - Near Olas Altas Street

8/10 Good

"We only stayed one night in Puerto Vallarta before heading to Nuevo Vallarta. The Tropicana was nice, we booked a superior room withe pool view but to our surprise was also a partial ocean view. We did not use the pool since it was raining that evening. We look forward to staying there again for a longer stay in the future since we loved how close the hotel is to the ocean."

The Paramar Beachfront Boutique Hotel - Downtown Malecon

10/10 Excellent

"I have been to this hotel several times during past several months . Stay is usually 2 to 4 days . I would call this property a “ Diamond in rough” as it’s not very conspicuous but has all amenities you would want during a vacation with local vibe . Staff is welcoming and wonderful. Small hotel, so you get to know them pretty quickly . My special thanks to Mr Misael at the front desk . Very helpful with good communication . Has been able to do early check in several times ( great when you are tired from travel and it’s mid day hot outside) . Property is clean . Have drinking water available 24/7 ( no need to keep buying plastic water bottles ) . Roof top pool with great view of the bay of Banderas . Has a pool side bar ( bar closes early ) . They puts a water proof room key band around your wrist . So very little chance of loosing / worrying about your keys even if you go the beach, which is across the street . Breakfast is “OK “ but free and convenient . Short walk to Malecon “ City center “ gives you lots of dining options . In short, I will highly recommend this property if you are looking for a clean cozy place with local vibe within a reasonable budget ."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Riviera Nayarit, An All-Inclusive Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome property and being up in the hills and the jungle, it definitely has a different vibe than some of the other resorts around PV along the coast. It’s very close to Bucerías, but is a bit of a hike from PV (about 40mins). Feels much more immersive with nature. Only downside is it’s a huge resort and a lot of walking, unless you wait for the shuttles, which do some pretty frequently. Staff are friendly and helpful, would stay here again!"

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel & Mexican Charm - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"When we first got there, we had asked to switch rooms because the room we got was extremely small, and there were multiple things falling apart with the room. Once we upgraded our room, the room was perfect. It had enough space and seemed to be a more updated room. The staff was incredible and so nice and helpful throughout the hotel however, the check in staff weren’t very friendly (except for Laura). Overall we had a great stay"
