We had another fantastic visit to the VIM. There were a few new people on staff but many more that welcomed us back home. Superman said this was the BEST trip to the Valentin yet. We loved the stony crab and jumbo shrimp on the lunch buffet at Mar Y Tierra. We enjoyed a fantastic Filet Mignon at the French Restaurant. And of course we enjoyed our almost nightly visit to the Ginger Japanese Restaurant Sushi Bar. I ate so much sushi I thought I was going to grow gills:)
We were very pleased when we first got there and they took us to our room in Building 14 and the trees have been trimmed so we had a Fantastic Ocean view.
I'm still suggesting that they add some benches around the resort so you can sit and wait for a ride if you want one.
The Best Thing about the VIM is the staff. They made us feel like royalty. Whatever we wanted or needed, they made sure our wishes were fulfilled. It is really tough to leave and come back home where people are not responding to your every need with "It's My Pleasure!"
There was a little seaweed washing up on shore but they kept the beach very clean. I laid out there just enjoying the beautiful blue water and ocean breeze.
We've already booked our 14th trip for June 20-27!

We had an amazing time at this resort. It's the perfect balance of party and quiet so you can be as entertained or chill as you want to be at any time. The staff is excellent and always quick to get you what you need. The food was good at breakfast and lunch (typical buffet) but was phenomenal at dinner. I recommend the hibachi place for hibachi and/or sushi.

A few tips:
The sun is brutal so lots of sunblock even if you are tan or tan easily. One burn and your out for your trip! No fun.

Keep in mind the resort is massive and everywhere you go its a LOT of walking so bring comfortable shoes. I can't stress that enough.

Bring little bills for tip money. As I said before the staff is great so be sure you leave them something. You wouldn't eat out at home and not tip so don't do that here either.

Returned to the VIM for our second visit. This adults only, AI is exactly what we needed for a get away. The staff was great. We really enjoyed the scuba diving resort course. The instructor Guillermo (I think I got that right) was great. Massage on the beach was awesome.

My only complaints are the little things. A broken railing there... some pealing paint there. Nothing big, but when we were there a couple years back it felt a little tighter on the up keep.

The only other thing that gets me is the reservation system for the Japanese restaurant (the only place you need a reservation for). They tell you that reservations for the night open at 9 AM the day of. You get to the concierge at 9:01 and the only reservations available for a party of 2 are at 5:30 or 8:30.... come on! You can't tell me that there isn't some preferred list. Anyway we just walked in without a reservation and it took them 10 minutes to find us a table.
