Vallarta Adventures Tours

The garden and pool were very nice and the location is not bad, but a difficult street to drive around to their parking. We had to first go inside the hotel and get them to open the gates in back and drive around - any time we came or went. The rooms are a good size, but it really lacked amenities. A small bar fridge and coffee maker would have greatly enhanced our stay for sure, and even a microwave would have been wonderful. I called ahead of time and was told that we could check in between 2:00 & 2:30. When we arrived, they said the room would not be ready for another hour. We were meeting family after we checked in, so had to delay our plans another 1 1/2 hours. Since there was no fridge in the room, I had also asked about the availability of ice and water before hand on the phone. I was told there was an ice machine and I could get ice for our cooler that we brought, and also 2 bottles of water would be provided. The bottles of water were little 1/2 bottles. and although it was a nice gesture and the water is drinkable, we ended up buying a very large bottle of water for our stay. After we arrived, I was told I could get ice in the restaurant. There was no container in the room, so I asked for a bag at the restaurant. They kind of gave me a bad time, and said if I wanted ice, I should go buy it at OXXO convenience store, several blocks away. When I said I was told I could get ice here, they did give some ice in a bag that leaked water all the way to our room.

The hotel is clean, and the pool is lovely. There’s no TV, so bringing a book is a good idea. Also, there are mosquitoes, so don’t forget insect repellent.

The food was wonderful. The staff were friendly. It is a “private residence” share so they push for buying in. Once that is over, the beach and pool are top notch. You also have access to the sister resort next door which is more family oriented. Overall it was a great experience. We would go back.
