Review: The staff was excellent! The service was fast and polite. The poolside staff in particular were very friendly and worked very quick.

Review: Had an amazing trip, the food was great and even the buffet had different options everyday for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Orlando was very sweet and fun during the kayak tours & made sure we felt our trip was personalized and cared for. Only comment would be some of the servers at the restaurants treated my partner and I not as well as other guests and we felt it was because we look younger than others. It didn’t feel like some staff took us seriously or with the same amount of respect as..., by Vinh Dat, December 25, 2023, rated 10/10 Excellent

Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit - All Inclusive

A large, clear blue infinity pool with lounge chairs and palm trees, overlooking the ocean.

Location: Nuevo Nayarit
Review: We stayed for two weeks over the Spring Break. Despite being practically full, the resort never felt crowded; not in the restaurants, grounds or pools. All the reviews which say how great the resort is are absolutely right. It is definitely five star all the way. The staff are very well trained and all speak good English. We were especially impressed with waiters Ignacio and Geraldo and Capitan Fidel in the Azul (buffet) Restaurant and our concierge Chepe, who sought us out most days to make..., by Alan, April 1, 2016, rated 10/10 Excellent

Location: Punta de Mita
Review: Amazing resort! The staff were so friendly and helpful, the food was delicious with a good variety, and the setting was incredible. The pools are so enjoyable as well, and no shortage or staff to bring you drinks! If you don’t have children it’s worth staying on the Secrets side, because they do a good job of keeping the two sides separate, and so when you go to eat and swim etc, there’s no children around. I also recommend paying extra for the preferred room if you would like to use the roof..., by Desiree, December 25, 2022, rated 10/10 Excellent

Secrets Vallarta Bay Puerto Vallarta - All Inclusive

A couple on a wooden deck overlooking a pool with lounge chairs and a view of the ocean and resort buildings.

Location: Hotel Zone
Review: The property is amazing! Love it! The only thing that needs to be addressed is the stairs in the pools. They are nearly invisible to the naked eye as there is no variation in color to indicate a step. I tripped in the water going to the pool bar and sprained my thumb on the stool breaking my fall. There will be many stubbed, and possibly, broken toes if this is not dealt with in a timely manner., by Anonymous traveller, November 8, 2019, rated 10/10 Excellent

Dreams Bahia Mita Surf & Spa - All Inclusive

An infinity pool with clear blue water, a bar area with various bottles, and a view of the ocean and mountains.

Location: Punta de Mita
Review: This resort is beautiful and spacious. Nowhere seems crowded. Food is delicious. Several pools. Beach area is rocky but it's a nice area and kids had fun in water. There is a lot of walking so probably not suitable unless you are able to walk a lot. The restaurants, pools and beach are all in one area so if you had a room close it would solve that problem. The shows are 8:30 to 9:30 start times so late if you have small children. High quality shows., by Wendy, November 20, 2023, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: I was a little unsure of what to expect from this resort as it is listed as a 5 star and is quite expensive- much more than most other hotels in the Puerto Vallarta area, and some peole had left average reviews. However, me and my wife decided to keep our 10 day booking for the last week of March and try it! I have to say that we were both very impressed with not only the hotel itself, including rooms, grounds and amenities, but the level of service from EVERYONE who works at the hotel.
