Traveler Reviews on Puerto Vallarta

InterContinental Presidente Puerto Vallarta

Nov 19, 2008

We stayed or rather didn't stay on November 8, 2008. After a long cab drive, this is located south of most of the hotels, we came to a beautiful hotel. My friends and I had reserved two rooms with them. The view was jaw dropping. We were very excited to stay here. However when we got there, the manager took... more

Estancia San Carlos

Nov 19, 2008

We have stayed at the Estancia San Carlos twice now, for two weeks in 2006, and came back in 2007 to stay six weeks. We loved the location, the staff, everyone was very helpful and friendly...and the price is right. We have two little Chihuahuas, and they were made to feel very welcome. The maids are hard workers, and they... more

Velas Vallarta Suite Resort

1/1 found this review helpful

If you are considering a stay at Velas Vallarta, don't hesitate. Especially if you are looking for a wonderful family experience. This was my second visit to this resort, the first being 2006. Both trips I went with my parents and my children. We had nothing but positive experiences with hotel and especially the staff. The grounds are breath taking.... more

La Esquina de los Caprichos

5 of 5 stars
Joliet, IL
Nov 19, 2008

This place is fantastic with some of the best food I've had in Puerto Vallarta. It is a small tapas resturant with an unbelievable variety of hot and cold choices and great sangria. My husband & I dined there in February 2008. We ate and drank sangria until we couldn't get another bite into us - our bill with tip... more

Le Bistro Cafe

Joliet, IL
Nov 19, 2008

We never leave Puerto Vallarta without at least one breakfast at Le Bistro. The food is outstanding and the ambience sitting at a table with the river as a backdrop is very soothing. We've also had wonderful dinners there, but breakfast is the best! more

Villa Premiere Hotel & Spa

5 of 5 stars
Victoria
Nov 19, 2008

Hotels are just bricks and mortar but this one is put together with every guest comfort in mind from design to cleanliness. The room we had was large, well laid out and very clean. The pool area, and public areas were comfortable and more than ample for a 82 suite hotel. The food was amazing in all three restaurants. During... more

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta

2 of 5 stars
Dallas, Texas
Nov 19, 2008

The Fiesta Americana is a beautiful hotel in a perfect location. My room was large, well maintained, and the bed quite comfortable. The beach is beautiful. The location is convenient to the city center, it's a $5 cab ride or a $0.75 bus ride. There is a large groucery store across the road. The water from the tap is potable.... more

Cheeky Monkey

Wilmington, DE
Nov 19, 2008

A friend of mine told me about the Cheeky Monkey bar when he got back from his trip to Puerto Vallarta about 7 months ago. So, I stopped by on my trip down. Had an awesome time last night at the Cheeky Monkey on the Melcon. Troy and Ron were very friendly - and the waiter was excellent. With dollar... more

San Marino Hotel

3 of 5 stars
Niagara Falls, Ontario
Nov 19, 2008

My husband and I returned recently from Puerto Vallarta where we stayed for a week at the San Marino Hotel. We read other reviews about this hotel on Trip Advisor before making our decision to stay there. We must agree with several things: first, we read that others thought the soup was excellent and it certainly is. Five stars go... more

Sheraton Buganvilias Resort & Convention Center

Lynden, Washington

1/1 found this review helpful

Booked a room through SkyAuction, got it very very cheap. Wasn't sure what to expect as I had never seen a room there before, had only eaten there once before and was very disappointed with the meal for what I paid. Stayed in the timeshare section, and was very pleased with the check-in process. Walked into the room...the big moment... more

Casa Velas Boutique Hotel

Nov 18, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Let's get the timeshare stuff out of the way first. Yes, they will want you to have breakfast at the Beach Club. Don't say NO too fast. We got an awesome breakfast, 3 bottles of tequila, FREE ZIPLINE excursion, discounts on massages and another 5 free days at the resort. Yes, it took most of the morning and we said... more

St. Louis, Missouri
Nov 18, 2008

We hosted our daughter's wedding at Hacienda San Angel this past summer and wanted to post a review to describe how wonderful our experience was at this unique and charming property. Planning a wedding from a distance can be challenging but from the beginning of the planning process, the Hacienda was extremely attentive to our requests and assisted with every... more

The River Cafe

Winnipeg
Nov 18, 2008

My boyfriend and I chose the River Cafe for a romantic dinner away from our group of friends. I had the mushroom soup as an appetizer, which was absolutely delicious! My boyfriend who detests mushrooms agreed that it was great. For dinner I had the stuffed chicken breast on three cheese pasta which was also incredible. My boyfriend had the... more

Portland, OR
Nov 18, 2008

We stayed at Dreams last week and it was very nice. Our previous experience at an all-inclusive was phenomenal at a couples-only resort in Jamaica (which was much more expensive). This resort was really nice, the food was good and the grounds were exceptionally clean. The rooms were fantastic. The only thing I didn't like ... I assumed this resort... more

Hacienda Alemana

The setting is very cozy and the garden with its fountains is beautiful. We had the buffet witch is 2 times a week and is very good, there were a very extensice salad bar, soups and the a great variety of side dishes like spaetzle, pasta, potatos, coleslaw, vergatables, etc. But the best were the german main dishes, like sausages,... more
