“Great wedding venue”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

My husband and I just had a wedding here for his daughter and I would highly recommend Playa Fiesta and Lindsay, the owner, as a place to have a destination wedding if Puerto Vallarta is somewhere a couple is considering. In fact, I wish we had met Lindsay in the first place then my husband would not have been so skeptical with his daughter about having a wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Lindsay is amazing and has very careful attention to detail in the execution of the big day. She really gives her heart and soul into having everyone getting what they want and need for their stay. When some activity is to start at a particular time, it starts at that time and she is right there to make it happen. The food was great and the service attentive. After spending a week there, the staff feels like a small family that gets to know each of their guests needs. In fact, even the day after the wedding, we had an unexpected fish dinner from one of the guests who had caught 50lbs of fish that she and the chef put together that day for all of the guests that was absolutely delicious. So I would not hesitate for a bride to pick Playa Fiesta for their wedding. My husband and I are looking forward to visiting this property again when we are not planning a wedding!

The only cons, if you are going to find some are there is no gym facilities on property. However, I was easily accommodated at a property down the road that Lindsay had an agreement with to use their facilities which was small but acceptable. In fact, extra guests, that cannot be accommodated at Playa Fiesta stayed there too.

Also, the property is small. So, if small and intimate is not your thing then maybe this is not a place for you. Fortunately, small and intimate are mine so it was perfect for me.

Finally, if you are handicapped then this might not work also. There are many steps up and down and I don't think an elevator.

Room Tip: Choose a room further away from pool if a band or music is playing late into the night, if noise cou...

“Awesome is an Understatement”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

I was a bride who held her wedding at Playa Fiesta in late April. I am sure anyone who is lucky enough to stumble upon their Trip Advisor page can easily see that this resort gets amazing reviews. So, I wanted to post a few experiences that maybe were not highlighted in other reviews. When I began to plan my wedding I had three major goals in mind: I wanted it to be unique, I wanted it to be stress-free, I wanted my father to be happy with the cost and my mother to be happy with the experience. All three of these expectations were not only met, but exceeded.
Playa Fiesta is not a cookie-cutter resort. The owners, Lindsay and Adam, along with their entire staff, make sure that the second you entire their little paradise you have this amazing feeling that they are opening their arms to you and welcoming you in (not trying to sell a time-share like so many big resorts). After you step foot in, get ready to have one of the best vacations of your life. I am from New Orleans – and we are people who love good food and REALLY love a good drink. Not only is the food at Playa Fiesta fantastic, but many of my guest are still making some of the new cocktails we learned from the amazing bartenders (Charlie and Polo).
As for planning the wedding, Lindsay and her staff are ridiculous (in an amazing way). I was building a house, going through a merger at work, and planning a wedding and somehow never seemed stressed on the wedding end. Lindsay has this down to a science. You plan everything – the exact way you want it – at appropriate intervals throughout the planning process. She has each minute detail mapped out on a spreadsheet and nothing feels better than to check each one off when you come to an agreement with the final decision. After the process was said and done, I can easily say it was one of the easiest things I have done in my life and I bet few brides can attest to that.
When the year of planning goes by and you finally arrive, everything goes smoothly and is better than you could have imagined. Lindsay and Adam are very upfront with all the cost. They do not try to sway you in any way to plan all your events with them. I was married in a church, had a rehearsal dinner “off-campus”, and made many of the table numbers and decorations myself. Best part is – Lindsay helped me with all of it. She stayed in constant contact with the church and even helped with some signs I wanted to make for some of the wedding pictures. The church ended up being so wonderful and perfect – and that is what made my mom the most happy. New Orleans is a very Catholic city; with old, breath-taking churches…but none of them held a candle to the charm and vibrant colors of the church we married in – Refugio. The pictures came out amazing – bright turquoise on the walls, cobblestone steps leading up the church, a very ornate alter. The church was the absolute perfect size for a “destination-sized” group. And most importantly, the buses were able to drop-off and pick-up all the guest right in front of the church so no one had to walk a ways in heels.
I could go on and on about Playa Fiesta, but if I sum it up in one experience to let reviewers know how amazing my family and friends thought this place was it would be this: My family has made it our new task to find my little brother a girlfriend and get them engaged fast because we want so badly to have another wedding at Playa Fiesta – it’s just that good

“Luxury off the Beaten Path”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

We had the pleasure of attending a wedding at Playa Fiesta Beach Club! What an amazing experience. The service was AMAZING and the FOOD top quality! It was a beautiful location for the event and the amenities made it feel like a 5 star experience! The only negative comment, the beds.....but typical in Mexico, a mattress on a cement base.....That is my only negative comment. Planning a wedding, family vacation or reunion or just looking for someplace off the beaten path...this is your place!
We will return! Thanks Lindsey and Adam

Room Tip: Be sure you have a sitting area in your room.

“Barry & Cathy/ We will never forget!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 31, 2012

We enjoyed the most wonderful Wedding experience ever! Lindsay & Adam orchestrated the perfect destination wedding for our Nephew and his Fiance with close attention to every last detail! From the beautiful location to the Fireworks we all experienced a lifetime memory. The food was delicious and served beautifully. The service was amazing and friendly! The flowers were gorgeous....Everything was topnotch! I really didn't know what to expect and I'm still pinching myself that I was able to experience this wonderful Wedding with family and friends.

“An EPIC stay to say the least”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 26, 2012

By far, this was the best wedding I've been a guest to. From the time you walk in to the minute you leave, you are treated with superior service! The staff takes it upon themselves to learn and remember each guests name, making the stay comfortable and personable. The food was delicious and Charlie is the best bartender! My friends and I still talk about what an amazing place Playa Fiesta is!
