"our specials trip to RIU VALLARTA was planned to enjoyed our Bday and wedding Anniversary, we did trying to take the best that we can, but we didn't know in advance that we are not aloud to swim int he beach because a sign said was a possible crocodile, jelly fish and ocean manta ray, an plus every pool even at early morning was ridicules hot. it was unfortunate"

Hotel Porto Allegro - Near Malecon

10/10 Excellent

"Overall great place, room was small but for the price still a good deal. Location is great too, they gave me a free bottle of good wine upon check in. Breakfast is free but busy, there was only one Waitress and since its not a buffet you have to wait a bit...but the food is great."

Buenaventura Grand Hotel & Great Moments - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff and great amenities. Property is clean and well maintained. Resort is within walking distance to downtown Puerto Vallarta with varieties of street food, farmacias, local and convenience stores. Food was decent, service was attentive and family friendly. Definitely would recommend."

Hotel Tropicana - Near Olas Altas Street

8/10 Good

"Bed was very hard. Beach beautiful. No real resort amenities not sure why they charge a resort fee: the room card on your wrist gets really nasty fast. I’d stay again but the entire 9days they didn’t change the sheets. They just kept remaking the bed. Also you have to check out an iron and they don’t give wash clothes. Not a resort more of a hotel. Otherwise not bad."
