Jan 05, 2025Perfect stay in Puerto Vallarta
As comfortable and seamless a holiday as we’ve ever had. Perfect pre- Christmas getaway for our three adult children along with my wife and I. Service and staff are flawless and the mid-size resort in an amazing location was perfect for us all. It was our first stay but definitely not our last. Can’t wait to go back.

Jan 02, 2025Pool is the highlight
Great resort especially the beautiful pool! Right on the beach, chaises and umbrellas available. Service was excellent. Down side was impossibility of getting chaises by the pool. Good restaurant options - Las Casitas was yummy, Mikado a bit overpriced and just okay. Reasonably priced breakfast options. Marina is a ten minute walk with lots of restaurants and stores.

Nice hotel but disappointing view.
This is my first time at this property. This is a nice hotel right on the water and you can walk to the marina in 5 minutes where there are many restaurants and shops. Staff here is great, everyone speaks English perfectly and there are no communication issues. Pretty much an American and Canadian crowd here if thats what you are looking for. We have dined twice at the Casitas restaurant on the property and theses are best meals I have had in PV. I’m only giving this a 3 star rating because of the room. I booked the best room available at the time which was a ‘panoramic ocean view room’ which had a great view of the ocean based on the pics on Marriott website site. What I got was a 2nd story room overlooking the pool with an obstructed view of the ocean. Not at all what i wanted. I asked for a room change and they were unable to accommodate.

Best in Marina Vallarta
You can’t beat the staff here. The service is top notch. The pool crew is friendly and these people work their asses off. They “go the extra mile” to please guests. The hotel itself is starting to show some age, but they’ve kept it up quite well and have done some remodeling. Fitness center is decent. They have a lot of machines and you’ll pretty much have all you need for a workout. You get the common mad rush to save pool loungers at 8:00 am so get there early if you want a decent chair at the pool. 15-20 min taxi to Centro/Malacon. Marina is a 5 minute walk from the hotel for more restaurants and bar action. I’ve been here about eight or nine times now and am still happy with it. We’ll be back. Victor, Oliver, Carlos, Raul, Hugo, you guys all made it fun and we’ll see you again soon.

still good even though they are preparing to become all-inclusive
Located less than 10 minutes from PVR airport and in walking distance to Marina Vallarta, this is a very good Marriott resort hotel. The proximity to the airport and the convenience to the marina can't be beat. If you get a room in the Tower A you will also have an outstanding ocean view of Banderas Bay. There is a daily resort fee. Front desk persons Juan and Azumera(?) provided great courteous service always. Comfortable bedding and lots of lighting in the room, along with an excellent walk-in shower and bathroom. Note that there is no microwave in the room, but there is a small fridge and you may have a mini-bar set-up if you'd like. Superb balcony with ocean view. Housekeeper Sandra also made up my room nicely every day. The breakfast buffet in La Estancia is excellent. Andrea or Fernanda will make you awesome omelettes cooked to order. Lots of other items to choose from - fresh fruits, yogurt, Mexican specialties, and more. Don't miss trying the jugo verde - delicious! Their Marriott burger is classic - no matter where you are in the world you will find a quality burger at any Marriott hotel. Must be a standard. The fitness center is excellent - large facility with many weight stations, free weights, I think a half dozen treadmills + more exercise bikes and ellipticals, separate studio with exercise mats. They also have a health spa on the other side of the fitness center. The word is that this hotel is turning into an all-inclusive in 2025, so I advise inquiring in advance as to whether there will be construction (jack hammer, drilling) during your stay period or not - especially if you are looking for quiet. I've heard stories of major disruptions...I thankfully did not have any such noisy disruptions during my week's stay. The big question in the future is how Marriott will address food quality when it becomes an all-inclusive. This is the major aspect to be seen, and the determinant as to whether this resort hotel can be even more phenomenal than it has been. I hope so, and best wishes. You are in walking distance to a Soriana supermarket, and more-extended walking distance (or quick taxi ride) to the Galleria Vallarta shopping mall and Walmart/Sam's Club next door. The Marina itself is great for walking - don't miss the live crocodile (but don't feed him!) and iguana...lots of restaurants (recommend D'z Route 66 Diner for American cuisines and Frankie's Italian). Also, not to be missed October through May on Thursday nights only is the Art & Market Marina Vallarta...the marina lines up with small booths selling everything from food items to handicrafts to tasty desserts and more...live performances there as well. Highly recommend.
