Hotel Riu Vallarta - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Thank You for the amazing work you do for the people!"

Hotel Riu Palace Pacifico - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay! The only mild concerns are the limited amount of washrooms, and at the evening shows, it was often hard to find a waiter to order drinks. The resort was beautiful. Everything was very clean. Food was delicious and everyone very friendly."

Hotel Riu Flamingos - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"We had a great time at the property. The food was good, not special, but good at all locations. Way too many people for us, too busy at the pools, but not the hotel's fault. The hotel was nicely renovated, and the room was very nice. Need to do better work on cleaning the pool areas, Bird poop, and food not being cleaned up. Need more service around the pool and beach area. Gym to small for the size of the property. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and week at Riu Flamingo."

Dreams Bahia Mita Surf & Spa - All Inclusive

6/10 Okay

"The hotel and staff are nice and its food is excellent, but the layout and signage of the hotel is not very good. There are not that many elevators and not all of them take you to all the floors. Also, the bathrooms in the rooms are very small and uncomfortable although the rooms are big. They keep the housekeeping in the rooms to the bare minimum (make the bed and take the trash out) but they don't really clean well. If you enjoy the beach, don't choose this hotel. It is very rocky, not safe and very small area. We had a good experience with the staff (Sheyla Gomez, Levy, Stephanie) but we would not go back."

Melia Puerto Vallarta - All inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Incredible staff, everyone we met was very friendly and incredibly welcoming. Jesus at concierge, Theresa and Roberto in catering / food service were exceptionally fun and friendly. Wonderful cleaning staff, bar staff, bellman, etc. Spectacular establishment, can’t recommend Amelia enough!"
