Barceló Puerto Vallarta - All Inclusive
Entire resort was very nice. Not fancy really but everything was very clean, very easy to get around, excellent service, we never had to wait to eat, the food was all really good with a pretty fair selection at the buffet and amazing food at the restaurants. Our room was huge and again not fancy ...

Hotel Mio Riviera Nayarit - Adults Only
Lunch and dinner menu needs to be expanded and offer more “real meal” options rather than just pub style food. Other than than hotel, pool, staff and breakfast are awesome.
