El precio del Family selection era más económico que del hotel regular, probablemente por un tema de fechas o ocupación. Haciendo que no fuera esclusivo, llegan personas en camiones de tours, o en grupos que hace parecer un balneario popular. El hotel gran Palladium (a un lado) tiene muchas más amenidades sin embargo de menor calidad los alimentos. Del lado del Family selection los alimentos y bebidas son muy buenos sin embargo es muy pequeño esa sección del hotel lo que te obliga a ir al otro hotel

We stayed in several different hotels between Puerto Vallarta- Punta de Mita and this was our favourite! The others were Riu Vallarta, Marivel Emotions, Delta Marriott La Cruz, & Velas Vallarta The food here was fab & we felt it was the best & it was the only place we were able to get blueberries, blackberries, strawberries & raspberries for the baby (though we skipped the raspberries as they were covered in flies as the food was uncovered which is 1 improvement that could easily be made) the service brilliant, the staff very helpful & even cooked a plateful of asparagus for the baby. The Nest restaurant food & service was great. (Though they did somehow forget to bring kids breakfast but there was plenty of other stuff to eat whilst waiting so no big deal) We did a night in the main hotel in an ocean view room which was nice (but couldn’t see the ocean from the bed which we had been able to in other hotels that used glass screen/metal railings etc on the balcony instead of a wall) and a night in the family selection side. It was nice to get some little gifts in the family selection like bucket/spade, top etc. The beach was better on the main side with some soft sand areas (also some rocks & lots of beautiful shells) the food in the main restaurant was really good too. We were just disappointed we couldn’t get a space in the Japanese restaurant. The pools were warm except the kids pool with the slides (would have thought the kids pool more important to be warm) baby

We stayed at the Family Selection. Our room was nice enough. It was great to have access to a dedicated pool for our family. It was also nice to have a host located in our building that we could ask questions and get help with reservations and connecting with other parts of the hotel outside of the Family Selection area such as the spa and restaurants.

The staff was incredibly nice. We honestly couldn’t have been happier with staff. Be aware lots of stairs. if you stay in in the family selection and you’re in building four, you’ll hear the loud music at night. Didn’t bother us but it may bother young kids. Beach area pool everything was awesome.

From the moment you book family selection they make it seem like you get a great service. The host we were provided didn’t do anything for us. She never helped to book any restaurant reservations or provide any services. She lied about a lot of things and the staff lied about stuff as well. The host said she was there to help with anything but she did nothing but say no to everything. Supposedly all the restaurants were booked prior to us going. That means we have to eat at the buffet everyday. We traveled with other friends as well but they were able to get a reservation (even though we were there before them and after them). We were given grand palladium gift card but when we tried to use it they all lied and made up stories. I would never go back to this place due the lies and deceitful of some of the workers . Only people that were good were servers at the pool and some of the restaurants. It might be possibly the host we had but she was horrible . She lied and the front desk workers lied about everything.

I thought we were paying for a 5 star hotel but these one is more like a 3 star one. We were in the family select sector which it is supposed to be the best. Well, it’s not or in other words is the best they have. Our room was supposed to be garden view but instead was a wall of mud and a fence. The jacuzzi was broken and dirty water came out. Room service never cleaned our shower. In family select there is only ONE restaurant and every day and night they offered the SAME menu. The second option is the pool bar with limited hours. The pool is small but at least water is warm. The staff of the kids club make you feel like you are bothering them if you leave your kids when there is no activity plan with them (and they insist that you go to their activity in the pool area). Every time I picked my kids they were watching a movie. The service especially at the restaurants is VERY slow. It can take you 1.5 hours for lunch or dinner and you will be lucky if the appetizer arrives before the entree. Cocktails are poor qu. Not real fruit or pulp. Just the cheapest option they could offer you. Nobody informs you what the hotel has to offer you. On our last day we learnt that there are free boogie boards but you have to go to the other hotel beach to use them. Everything is in the other hotel, connected to family selection so prepare to walk a lot. Even if you want a snack at 5.30 pm because the pool bar/ restaurant closes at 6 but they (servers) don’t allow you to order after 5.30 pm.

We have checked into the hotel at 4pm. Now it’s 9pm and we have no food or drinks. All of the restaurants on the territory of the hotel are closed. No mini bar in the room. Nothing. My kids 2 and 4 yo are without snacks, water. We were not notified prior to checkin that this is the situation. Horrible experience.

Staff was very nice but the property needs a lot of work. Very dirty around the pool areas and bars. Air conditioning very weak in room. We had to change rooms 4 times due to AC not working or shutting off. Maintenance person fixing the AC told my wife the hotel was to cheap to properly fix the AC. The food was not great. Everything is mostly buffet or premaid so no modifications on certain items you order. I eould never stay at the hotel again

Stayed in the family section and it was horrible! The restaurant the nest and buffet are closed at lunch times and only options to eat are cheeseburgers which were always rubbery overcooked or quesadillas no healthy food and not baby friendly or go to your room and wait for room service. I have a one year old who is a very good eater but I don’t feed him junk food he eats healthy not processed foods and these options just were not acceptable. You have to make reservations for restaurants for dinner the Mexican food at adalita was not good and the service was beyond terrible I asked for a plain tortilla for my baby to hold him over while he waited for dinner and they never brought him one nor did they check on us or bring us water- the waiter had an attitude like he didn’t enjoy his job or working and it showed.we are very friendly and no matter the circumstances we were never rude and we have never been treated this way in our entire lives! As for the room- It says on the description for the room on the website that you get robes and slippers in your room and we did not. Our room was supposed to be restocked daily with waters and snacks and beverages and it was only restocked once and we stayed 7 days!Our room flooded there was water leaking down from the ceiling and you can tell this wasn’t the first time. They didn’t do anything about it! A room change should have been offered but nope they did nothing.

In the Family Selection area, our butler went above and beyond!! SPEEDY IS THE BEST!! He anticipated all our needs (and that was 10 in our group, including four children). Everyone had their own wants and needs, and any time we needed help or questions he was there for us. We have traveled many places but never had this type of attention!! It’s so worth staying at the Family Selection with these special butlers. We were so fortunate to have “Speedy” as our butler! Efficient, speaks English very well, friendly, always helpful. We ended up staying an extra week in Family Selection—we felt like “family!!” Definitely would go back, quiet beach and also great food at The Nest!
