    Not a lot of good

    The location is beautiful. Food was sub par. A lot of seafood options but for those who do not care for seafood not a lot of other options. Food was not 5 star quality. Rooms very clean. Staff very pushy to fill out survey on day 1 instead of waiting for you to complete at the end of the trip to give honest and accurate feedback. Excursions offered on site were not accurate on time of the event. For example we booked an excursion to the hidden beach and snorkeling and we told it would be a total of 7 hours but it took more than 10 hours. The sail boat took 3 to 4 hours each way. We had a reservation at the Japanese Steakhouse and we were not able to make it back in time. We tried to call the hotel 6 times to let them know we would not be there on time but only spoke to a person once and she put use on hold and then were disconnected. Each other time we called no one answered. We returned and tried to explain the situation and they would not give us another reservation prior to our departure which was two days later. My husband left his phone in the Uber vehicle upon return from a day trip. He notified the front desk in hopes they would allow the Uber driving to come back up to return the phone but they did not. The Uber driver reported that he waited at the gate for 15 mins later that evening and the gate guards ran him off. Coffee was horrible. Do not get me wrong we had a great time but I would pay more and defiantly book all inclusive at a different resort for my next trip to Puerto Vallarta.

    Definitely not a 5 star

    Pros Great views. Staff are friendly and helpful. Facilities were plenty. Always activities around the clock with lots for different age groups. Cons black mould all around my bathroom and in between tiles. Internet is intermittent in my room. They have two wines Red and White not what you would expect from a 5 star hotel. Certain areas of the hotel were tired and in need of an update. Breakfast was amazing so much choice and variety. Other restaurants of choice so were so busy we could not get a reservation.

    Awesome trip!

    Stayed here for my wedding. The location was great, the best beach!!! Nice for beach walks. Some of our guests went to sayulita and la cruz. There is uber available at low prices. Atmosphere is very family oriented. I woundnt recommend if you are looking for more adults only atmosphere in the day. Lots tailored to children. Nightlife was great though. The disco seemed to be busy every night because of all the weddings. Shout out to Abel our wedding coordinator for being very organized, responsive and dedicated to making our day so special!

    We might visit this hotel again but it won’t be our first option.

    It was unfortunate that we were greeted with the news that we did not have access to go in for breakfast and use the facilities until 12:00 noon because we arrived at 09:30. Our first experience visiting this hotel was unpleasant because of this policy, which we hadn't encountered at other hotels. We were unaware of this policy, as it wasn't communicated to us when we made the reservation.
