Playa del Sol is a hotel for couples that need to relax, just that. If you are looking for nightlife, do not stay here. The bar closes at 10pm and there's nothing close open around the hotel. Downtown Puerto Vallarta is about 30 minutes from Playa del Sol and it will cost you around $220 pesos to get there, another... more

This was my second trip to PDSG. Last trip we bought a membership for a 1 bedroom lockoff, which is a room w/ lockoff bedroom (no kitchenette) and additional bedroom w/ den/kitchen. The value of this unit was in getting two bedrooms for the price of one, with one completely private bedroom. PDS tried their hardest to avoid letting us... more

Traveled to PDSG on June 20th-27th. Returned 4 days ago from a great trip. So before we left my girlfriend and I read reviews on Tripadvisor.com. Everything looked good with the exception of one post from March 21st, 2009 stating bedbugs were present. This concerned my girlfriend but I assured her it wasn't a big deal and it was probably... more

Out recent visit to the Playa Del Sol Grand in Nuevo Vallarta is the first stop on our journey and not the most pleasant start to a vacation. My wife and I are in Nuevo 2 to 3 times a year at one of our 3 time share resorts which we own. On this trip we wanted some extra time... more

We visited Playa del Sol the first week of June. The room was average. The kitchen was not stocked with even the minor essentials. I later learned this was to encourage use of the on site restaurants. The food is pricey for Mexico. One of our party developed food poisoning after eating the potato soup and had to go to... more

ROOM/SCENERY: We took this trip to get away from the stressful, on-the-go life in DC to enjoy a nice relaxing time in PV and it was so worth it. If we didn't have a little Bichon waiting for us back home we would have stayed another week. The hotel was great and very beautiful. Everything was really clean, excellent maid... more

Hola! My wife and I got back last week from PDS and had a wonderful time. The hotel is just about what you would expect from a smaller resort, they had everything, but just smaller. When we checked in, we declined the time share pitch since we were already members, no hard pressure so no complaints. The room they first... more

Remember a few things.........You are in Mexico.Wages paid are but a fraction of what you make.Treat these fine folks the way you would like to be treated.We have witnessed some pretty shoddy treatment.The weather's great,the beer's cheap and the food is plentiful and tasty.I Totally agree about the time share sharks.Unless you are up to being brow beaten to buy... more

It came as a rude awakening, but there are definitely two parts to this hotel; one staffed by Mexicans and the other primarily by expat gringos. On the plus side are the Mexicans with absolutely fantastic front desk, bar, & restaurant staff . Moises, Hector (always a pleasure) and Francisco to name a few were friendly, accomodating, and very helpful... more

Looking at some reviews, I think people are ridiculous to say such bad things... I have experienced this with many resorts... Looking at how people rate this one they act as if there is poop on the walls or something really horrendous. I went with my best friend.. just us two girls.. and we had a VERY relaxing time... if... more
