Good: Room, pools, location (right across from Soriono mall with casino and good shops), hot tubs, Thomas. Bad: Staff - 90% of the time they didn't know the answer to a question - and about 80% of the time they just made one up. "Is there a buffet tonight or can we order off the menu?" Assured we could order... more

Arriving at PV was fairly shocking as you must walk through the timeshare "gauntlet" of sales people to get out of the airport. This is ridiculous and hopefully the local authorities will get this changed so it's not so tramatic of an experience. Luckily we had booked our transportation ahead of time and they ushered me, my wife and two... more

We (couple with two teenage girls) liked the hotel. Girls slept comfortably on sofa bed with extra mattress pads. Nice lanai with partial ocean view. Whenever we had problems maintenance/housekeeping crew came and took care of them right away. No night life.... so we went to Senor Frogs in downtown (Taxi $4) and girls had a great time partying. We... more

I recently came back from a week long trip at Puerto Vallarta. We stayed at this hotel from 06-06 to 06-13 and all I can say is it was GREAT!! We didn't even get hounded for the timeshare thing..maybe cuz we were staying at my sister's bf's parent's timeshare or maybe because we "look" young...who knows... First off, taxi to... more

We spent 7 days at Villa Del Palmar mostly by the pool area. The slide was a blast! The resort has three pool areas. Quiet pool area was always deserted only stayed there when we did our laundry as it was just around the building. Noisy pool area with the slide was a blast and as for the loud music... more

We stayed at VDP via a timeshare exchange. It was a good choice. The location is good. Ten minutes or so to the Downtown area via local bus. We were pleasantly surprised by the comfort and convenience of our room. We had a view of the beach and Banderas Bay from our room. The kitchen was well appointed, with a... more

We visited the Villa del Palmar with 7 friends. I'm sure there are many room types available, but ours was a two bedroom connected by a large outdoor patio. We were on the 8th floor and had beautiful views of the pool and ocean. The rooms are comfortable but slightly dated. Rooms in the newer section looked a bit nicer... more

We just got back from a week at this resort. Loved it. It's an older resort so perhaps not as spiffed up as some, but it was comfortable, clean, and well-located. The staff was always friendly and helpful and our room was well-cleaned each day. As others have mentioned, the loudspeaker and entertainment got old, but it was not enough... more

I spent 3 months volunteering in Vallarta and a friend came over from England to see me so we had a 10 day break at this hotel. I know PV quite well and the location is great, right on the beach and it's only a short bus ride/cheap taxi to the main strip with all the bars on. Across the... more
