South Coast Nayarit Hotels

Just returned from Grand Velas yesterday. 5th time in Puerto Vallarta, yet 1st time at this property. The reviews do not lie. The attention to detail and the overall customer experience are wonderful. From the initial welcome at check in which was topped off by a light shoulder massage, the Grand Velas staff went above a beyond to assure we were comfortable and delighted. The weather is perfect this time of year in PV as well, which just makes the experience that much greater. Special thanks to Jose (Chepe) our wonderful concierge and Gloria who made our evening cocktail experience at the Lobby Bar so special. My wife trul enjoyed the the spa, and all of the amenities it offered. 1st class all the way. Food choices were much better than other all-inclusives. Ask them for what you want, they will deliver! We will be back!

We just stayed at the RIU from Jan 15-19. We had a fabulous time! Our plane arrived before check in so they held our luggage for us so we could head to the pool/beach for some drinks and sun. The food was great. We are not picky so it worked for us. The staff was very attentive and filled our drink order at lunch right away. The pool was fabulous. Sometimes there was a line at the pool bar but the bartenders are the hardest working people there and the line went fast. Tip: Bring a bigger cup so you don't have to go as often. They will fill it up all the way for you! :) The entertainment/games at the pool was great. The RIU friends are hilarious and keep the atmosphere so exciting. The beach was also great. It is not rocky so you can for a dip when you get hot. Plenty of beach chairs/pool chairs but get there early for the best spots. Lots of palm tress so areas go in and out of shade. We went to dinner at the Asian and Mexican restaurant. Both were delicious. But the buffet is good too. Night time entertainment is fun. Different show each night. Followed by dancing in the disco. The rooms were clean which is all that mattered to me. We spent little time there. Almost all of the rooms have an ocean view which is great for watching the sunset. We did stay on the 5th floor so not sure what you can see from floor 1-4. Totally worth the $$ I spent.

We weren't looking for a 5 star all inclusive type of resort or hotel. Having stayed in large resorts in Puerto Vallarta and Cabo on previous visits to Mexico this was such a welcome change of pace. This place had everything we wanted. Comfortable beds, cooking facilities, a pool and close to the beach. The open air kitchen and dining area was great. The location is right on the beautiful beach and in the centre of town. I would definitely stay again. The entire town got very busy and bustling on the weekends when we were there but was quite relaxed and much more subdued during the week. Overall a great low key facility with an excellent location and friendly staff and guests.

We travelled with friends who have been vacationing here for years. This has now become our favourite vacation spot. Villa del Palmar offers a first class resort with exceptional customer service, outstanding cuisine at their restaurants and an extremely safe environment. I would highly recommend this resort for all ages

The activities team is the star of this hotel, always something to do between amazing shows and fun games. Buffet was excellent only surpassed by the restaurants that were VERY high quality. Rooms were good but not great, we were in the older portion, didn't spend much time in the room so a small negative for me and my wife.

This was our second stay at La Estancia, and for the most part, it was as good as the first time. Several of the staff members we met on our first visit, were still there and made every effort to welcome us back. It is generally a lovely resort to relax and enjoy the good service. From the time you arrival, until departure, the staff tries their best to make your stay the best for you. One issue we had, this time, was the food in La Casona restaurant was not up to previous level. We had steaks that despite being sent back twice, were still way too rare and shrimp, one night that was past its prime. The wait staff tried to remedy situation, but apparently there is new kitchen staff. Hopefully, this will improve in time. Other restaurants are also available at sister resort. Our room was kept very clean and was quiet. Poolside, Felix and Gabriel, worked hard at keeping us comfortable and we enjoyed the waiters and food at poolside restaurant. We would certainly consider a third visit in the future.

We stayed in this hotel for four nights in the top floor suite. The room was big and spacious. The kitchenette was not stocked very well and appliances were old but the hotel is in a great location close to town and the main beach. It has bangin' views of the bay. There is a big tree across the street and each morning a family of iguanas would climb up to the high branches. They were awesome. It is on a hill but we were able to walk with our three kids (age three was youngest) to the plaza and main beach no problem.

We were looking for a hotel that would be child friendly as we were travelling with 22 month old grandson. We were not disappointed, the hotel had a kids area that was fabulous. The grounds and the layout of the hotel and area is beautiful. We were treated very well. The beach is clean and the ocean was safe to go in. If you like to walk, there is miles of beach to explore. The mall is a block away and there is a weekly farmers market within walking distance.

Checked in at BailAir Hotel friday lots of things to do and great food.
