Krystal Vallarta

8/10 Good

"Our room was large and clean, with a balcony overlooking the bay. We had the room only, not all-inclusive. We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was great. This is an older resort, and travelers who frequently visit resorts may find some details lacking. However, we're budget backpackers and were very happy and comfortable here. There were a couple of issues with our room at first, including no hot water. The staff had it fixed within minutes of us letting them know. There is also construction in the area, and related noise. We're used to big city noise, so it didn't bother us. We loved the area and found lots of good food close by. The beach is very clean. The staff was wonderfully helpful with any questions we had. Taxis or busses are always available to take you to other parts of the city at reasonable prices. We would stay again."

Hotel Mio Vallarta - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"PROS: This is a nice 4 star hotel that is meeting our needs. Breakfast every morning is great. The gym gives you a basic workout. Staff is wonderful and helpful. Wi-Fi works nicely. Pool area is comfortable to relax. Daily cleaning and water bottle replacement. CONS: It sounds like you are sleeping on the street. The hotel sits next to a 8 lane highway. Bring a strong pair of ear plugs to sit or sleep in your room."

Paradise Village Beach Resort and Spa

8/10 Good

"Check in was somewhat confusing as there was apparently some problem with our booked room. They offered free upgrade to a superior room in a unit further away from the main bldg. We finally settled on a superior room in a unit overlooking the marina which was nice but had to pay an extra 12k pesos. We didn't do all inclusive and there was some more confusion when billing food to our room. Waiter tracked us down the first day in the evening asking for payment yet the cafe bar managed to billl our room which we paid at the end. Needless to say we paid by cc on every occasion after that. Overall though it is a well kept property. clean and beautiful. Not quite peak season but poolside lounge chairs were in short supply. Waiters coming around was a hit or miss so sometimes we had to go order our own drinks and snacks. We ventured off property a fair bit and that was nice as well."

Agua de Luna Boutique Hotel, San Pancho Nayarit

10/10 Excellent

"Upon arrival you are warmly (it is humid) greeted and offered agua Fresca. The cucumber, chia seeds and lime, very tasty. So checking in was quick, the usual form fillout. Then the room. King bed and balcony, view of pool area. Two comfortable chairs and egg swing chair. I think you are allowed to smoke on balcony. Concrete floor throughout. Wonderful AC. An initial free stocked mini fridge. If you want more, there is a charge. Rainfall shower. Very large stall. Double sinks, bathrobes. Attached cafe was great. Street Roosters to greet you. Good espresso coffee. Good omelet, oatmeal, and local fare, oh yea pan. The pool area was very nice. Water was room temp (very sunny days), out door shower, whirlpool. Go to terrace and two more whirl pool. One is heated. Large lounge area, enough tables and couch’s for large crowd. Playa is 150 yards. Town blocks are small. You will enjoy this hotel and town."
