We were very happy when the taxi dropped us off here. We had come from a much bigger resort and we really liked the quieter tropical feel. When I booked this hotel I had gone back and forth between this one and Costa Sur until finally deciding on the Presidente. I was worried about the location which seemed very far... More

We got the rooms at almost 40% off making this review a bit more lenient. Towels are a bit sandpapery and shabby. The renovated section is a bit in need of renovation. The place needs a facelift but has instead been using botox to keep itself going. That said, the location is nice if you want to be away from... More

Have been vacationing at Presidente for many years and plan to come back again in 2013. Large rooms-both bathroom and bedroom. --maid service twice a day and a breakfast buffet. The staff is the best--attentive and caring. The same staff every year and that does say something.. It is just a bus ride away from the center of Puerto Vallarta... More

The hotel definitely needs an upgrade, and yet there is still something comfortable and engaging about it. Our room on the 8th floor was huge, with a balcony view of waves and whales. The bed and bedding were terrific, and the room was clean and well serviced. But the shower was a plastic inset which is off-putting, even though the... More

I stayed here for a few nights in February. EVERYTHING about this hotel feels dated and shabby, which is a shame because the grounds and location are actually nice and have a lot of potential, even though the beach itself small. The hotel is badly in need of a renovation, and this resort is hurting the intercontinental brand. Sections of... More

This is not a big resort hotel, which exactly what I liked about it. Simple but elegant rooms, comfortable beds (great pillows!), great private balcony with amazing ocean view. One pool with two shallow ends for kids, and deeper middle for adults which is also where the bar is. Two restaurants in the hotel, both great food and very friendly... More

The Presidente sits right on the bay and all rooms are oceanfront with large balconies. Our room on the fourth floor was dated and in need of renovation. Housekeeping was lacking but the rest of the staff were very friendly and always helpful. This is not a big resort hotel. There was only one pool for both adults and children.... More

This hotel is 5*. Take a room with Ocean view, and you get the most fantastc view you can imagen. The room is in the renovated part is beautiful. Clean, modern and a relaxing ambient. The buffe breekfast is very good, and so are the restaurants. The negative thing for this hotel is, why the hell do they have the... More

The ideal place to enjoy delightful Mexican hospitality and experience. Nice beach, pool, glorious sunsets at the lobby bar, beautifully landscaped grounds. Wonderful, friendly attentive staff dedicated and committed to guest satisfaction. Have stayed here many times, and look forward to our next visit. Chuck D. More
