    A Different Experience - the pros and cons

    One of my best friends and I traveled to Puerto Vallerta and stayed at Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel & Mexican Charm All Inclusive for six days. It isn’t a luxury hotel; however, it has an authentic Mexican vibe. The staff was extremely friendly, attentive, and helpful. Our housekeeper, Avencia, was quite pleasant and cheerful. The restaurant servers are top-notch and will go out of their way to make sure you are having a nice experience. The breakfast made to order eggs, fresh fruit and pastries were delicious. Lunch buffet was not tasty and the hamburger patty at the snack bar was gristly. Buffet Fiesta Mexicana was beautifully set up and the tacos were wonderful. The nice atmosphere of the specialty restaurant was our absolute favorite. Special thanks to our server Alfredo, bartender Carlos, and Captain Jesus for the delicious shrimp and steak kebabs, one of the best meals of my trip to Puerto Vallarta. Unfortunately, there are several issues with the property. Rooms and bathroom are extremely dated in design. Three stair steps (a “sunken” bedroom) are in the room which may make it challenging for those with mobility issues. Additionally, the room is cold and drafty and no heat. There was also a severe lack of outlets. Good luck charging multiple phones or devices at the same time. I asked for a power cord/surge protector and was shocked at the hazardous cord I was given. Lighting was also less than ideal. We had to request repair for the old, rusty reading lamps next to the bed. Noise disturbances is a major issue because the walls are paper thin. Pool was clean but not heated. There’s a hot tub which is connected to the pool, but it was not heated, and the jets were not turned on. Thus, it mainly served as a kiddy pool. We and several other guests had an unpleasant situation during check-out regarding the wristbands. I overheard a man say he would not return to Hacienda Buenaventura because of that situation. I am not sure if I would stay there again because there are so many better options in Puerto Vallarta.

    A friendly cultural experience in Mexico.

    Genuine Mexican architecture, large pool, with surounding garden and trees. Most of the staff speak English. You feel that you have been in Mexico, not just to an all inclusive hotel. It is a good walk to the beach, so people with mobility issues tend to stay nearby and just swim in the pool.
