After checking the reviews for all the properties in our price range in PVR we settled on this one. Family of 4 with 2 teenage kids. Beach was great and water swimmable compared to others along the bay. You can walk for hours along the beach too! Paddleboarding and kayaking available for free. There are not any extravagant nightly shows. Music is playing pretty much all day with it getting louder around 830pm. Depending on where your room is located, I can see that noise may be an issue when trying to sleep. Definitely bring ear plugs just in case. We were in the tower and didn't find the music bothersome. Some have stated that the food options weren't great. We didn't have a problem finding something to eat everyday. The woodfired pizza is handy as you don't need to go into a restaurant to get it. We visted both a la cartes. Azul was the best one and we went there twice. Teenager from our group was sick his first night there and my daughter was sick our last night there. Assuming food was the culprit...You do have to get up early to claim a cabana. Pool water temps were perfect! Drink service around the pool was fantastic. Rooms are basic but clean and have everything you need except a microwave. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Location is close to shopping and airport. We used Uber everywhere and our friends used taxi. Sometimes the taxi was cheaper than the uber. I'm sure I'm forgetting something but would visit again!

Fantastic hotel, we loved that it was pet-friendly, our dog loved to walk out the pedestrian entrance. Beautiful clean and well-furnished room (plenty of space for our travel crib), wonderful staff, clean pool and facilities. My wife is celiac and the restaurant team took amazing care of her (especially Beatriz & Raul :) even homemade gluten-free brownies and bread! We were blown away, can't wait to come back. Muchas gracias a todos!

Friendly Vallarta

Staff are friendly and cleaning ladies do a good job. We changed rooms , no problem, because of a crying baby. First room had a door to separate the two rooms. Also first room had a cracked sink and toilet. Second room was much better. No door for adjoining rooms. Much quieter. Plenty of variety for food. If you don’t see shrimp or bacon, you can ask, they probably have some. Good variety on entertainment. Activities staff are super friendly and add a lot of fun. Beautiful sunsets!

Just had the BEST time at the friendly! Staff was super nice, drinks were great, rooms were clean and air conditioned, plenty of comfy spots to relax, lots of pool/hot tub options, right on the beach, and some decent options for food! There are two restaurants where you need to get reservations the day before and it is very worth it! Music most nights on a dance floor which is super fun. Would highly recommend this place to others for an all-inclusive experience!

Well if your a smoker than you would probably enjoy this hotel! The rules here are constantly being broken depending on who you are! We are non-smokers and just smoked for 2 weeks straight! Not happy ! People are smoking on the beach and throwing their butts in the sand and the staff does NOTHING!!! Even in the so called adult only area they were smoking. The staff does nothing! Get rid of the form you have people sign upon arrival about YOUR RULES because it means NAda! It’s a complete joke! We will be moving on to other hotels going forward ! Oh and get rid of that loud music at the beach nobody enjoys!!! Adios!

1. Walkin shower had large gap at bottom of door so the bathroom floor was very wet every time after showering. 2. Sewer gases came up from bathroom sink drain. 3. The ajoining rooms had no privacy. Conversations and sounds came in very clearly through the hollow ajoining door. 4. Food was the same every day. Beef and pork were tough. 5. Birds were in the restaurants and eating uncovered food on buffet and on leftovers on plates, 6. Lounge beds were saved and unused most of day while people spent time in the pool or on the beach.
