Hotel Playa Fiesta gave us the absolute dream wedding week. If you are looking for: (1) a gorgeous venue that is extremely well maintained (I’m talking touching up paint in rooms between weddings, immaculate cleaning of even the legs of chairs, and recent renovations), (2) an easy planning process with regular and prompt communication that makes you feel supported and confident instead of stressed, (3) the best week ever marrying the love of your life!!, then look no further!
We didn’t even know this kind of thing existed where we could stay with almost all of our wedding guests in one boutique hotel. Probably because this is so unique and special. This set up made it so easy to bounce between groups and get lots of face time with all of our guests while we were there.
Lindsay and Gabi made the planning go as smoothly as possible. They have a well oiled machine and are experts in how to plan and execute an incredible experience. Trust their recommendations for activities, vendors, and everything else wedding and PV related! Week of execution was flawless thanks to Gabi, Tammy, and Martin. Lindsay’s calm confidence on the wedding day helped me stay grounded in the joy of the moment and unbothered by any little distractions because I knew she had things covered.
All of the staff are exemplary! Many have been with the resort for over a decade! From their consistent warmth, to learning the names of many of our guests, to teaching us about new favorite drinks, to kicking off our karaoke night (shout out to Charly), they truly went above and beyond. They made me and my husband feel so special and also so at ease because we were certain that our guests would have a great experience and have all their needs met.
It is a big ask to travel for a wedding and our guests were extremely effusive in how much they loved it and were glad they came!
If the 3 star thing is giving you pause, ignore it and book. Did you know a hotel has to have multiple restaurants to be higher than a 3 star? Well I’ve stayed at multiple mega resorts in Mexico and have never eaten as well or had as delicious of drinks as I did at Playa Fiesta.
If it would help, ask Lindsay to share your contact info with the couple that got married on 11/22/24 and I’ll gladly chat with you on the phone about my experience!

When my husband and I were planning our wedding, we knew we wanted something destination that would also be a vacation for our guests. Playa Fiesta delivered that and more during our wedding week.
We booked our wedding a year and a half out, sight unseen, based solely off reviews and responsiveness of their staff. As you can imagine when planning a wedding in another country and a place you haven't been to before, there can be a lot of anxiety and stress that comes with the process. Thankfully, Gabi and Lindsay were always there to answer my million + 1 questions quickly and efficiently. No detail goes unnoticed as they manage a handful of workbooks to keep everything on track. Planning a wedding can be extremely overwhelming but the second I stepped foot on the resort, every worry literally floated away. The pictures do not do it justice. Every room is unique, beautiful and spotless with a lot of rooms having balcony access and ocean views. I still miss waking up to those views every morning and watching the whales in the afternoon!
The staff is unlike any other resort or hotel we've been too. Everyone gets to know your name (and your guest's names!) and we truly felt valued as guests. Gabi & Tammy are on top of coordination, never overbearing but keep you in the loop on the things you need to know - a true blessing when you're a bride. Charly, Ernesto, Pato (I could keep going) are on top of the service, never leaving you with an empty drink or plate.
Something that was important to us was making sure this was an experience for our guests and Playa Fiesta delivered. I could write a whole post about the food alone but trust me and all other reviews that the food is next level. Our guests also couldn't stop raving about the massages which I can also confirm was one of the best massages I've had. We also had fire jugglers, an ATV excursion, morning yoga and a catamaran ride throughout the week - all that Gabi & Lindsay help us coordinate.
The ceremony and reception were stunning. I was worried about traveling with a lot of decor but you truly don't need much in a place like this - it speaks for itself. The florals were beautiful! It pained me to leave them behind, I was obsessed with the work Florart did for the bouquets, ceremony space and tables. Also, much love to the DJ who used our playlist as a guide, mixing favorite songs and adding in new ones. I didn't know what to expect but truly a great wedding DJ that had the dance floor packed all night.
We hope to return to Puerto Vallarta next year for our anniversary but know that it may not live up to the week we just had. Choosing Playa Fiesta was the best decision we made as a couple and even though destination wedding planning can come with stress (as do all weddings), their team makes sure you're taken care of.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
This is my first time leaving a review for any hotel. My daughter Courtney was married here, the first week of July 2023. The Staff of Playa Fiesta are the most helpful, nicest people you will ever meet. The communication from the onset which was at least 9 months before the wedding was terrific. Gabi, Lindsay, and Tammy take care of everything. They really strive to take the stress out of what is a very stressful process. We reserved the entire property. In my opinion is the only way to go, all of the people at the Hotel are all family and friends. One of the areas where I was concerned beforehand, was the transfer of all of our guests flying in from multiple areas of the US from the airport to the resort. Let me tell you the company that they work with does a fantastic job of making sure you, and all your guests get to the right vans when you get out of the airport. They have signs that are clearly marked with the name of the wedding party, they have everyone's name on a list, and they know what times they are arriving and its all handled very professionally. July is not the best month to be visiting Puerto Vallarta its hot, and humid but they made sure everyone had water, and the vans were running with the AC on before hand so everyone was comfortable. The Hotel is located about a 30 minute drive from the airport. The drive is beautiful through town, and then into the jungle along the ocean. Once arriving everything is taken care of for you. Your bags are delivered to your rooms and there is nothing you have to worry about again until you leave. The hotel is a very quaint traditional Mexican style of resort, all the rooms are nice with great AC, with really nice pools and grounds. I have never experienced the level of service that the staff provided us at Playa Fiesta. Everyone that works here will know your name, what you like to drink, what you like to eat, etc. The Wedding, July is the beginning of the rainy season, and rain was forecast for the wedding day. No problem for this hotel they worked all day to adjust things, make sure that everything went off without a hitch, and that we all stayed dry while it poured down rain throughout the wedding. I could keep going on, but you get the picture you wont be disappointed if you pick this place.

This is the most special and unique venue I could have imagined. It has everything you could ask for in a destination location and my wedding week was perfect. I am a type-A perfectionist and uber organizer and there is not one thing that I would have changed about my experience at Playa Fiesta (except that I wish it had lasted longer).
You can truly make your wedding whatever you want here. If you want to book jet-skis for a day, they will be delivered. If you want to have fire dancers at one of your gatherings, consider it done and the list goes on and on.
All of Lindsay and Adam's vendors are professional and trustworthy. They really make it so easy for you. You never have to worry if someone is going to show up or if the service or product is going to be of quality. The owners have done all of the legwork for you so you can just enjoy your experience.
The staff was phenomenal. Gabi, Tammi, Charlie, Ernesto, Santana, Manuel and everyone else on site all became like old friends. They learned our names and our preferences so quickly. They were so genuinely kind and really make Playa Fiesta what it is.
The location of the villa is perfect. You are 10 minutes from the city and can have a taxi available to pick you up in 2 minutes. You have the beach right in front of the hotel, but honestly, we just loved having our own private pools overlooking the ocean.
The rooms and grounds are immaculate. They do renovations every year so things are always clean, updated and fresh. They were even painting on the day we left for the new group's arrival.
The value for what you receive here is unmatched - trust me, I looked at other venues over a 6 month span before coming back and booking Playa Fiesta. If you've dreamed of a beach wedding, look no further. This is intimate and beautiful and honestly perfect in every way.

Playa Fiesta is the perfect name for the premier experience that you are immersed in from the moment you step foot on the property. The thoughtfulness of the entire staff and precise execution catapults to a vacation like no other. From the food, activities, the special touches, rooms, the views, the cleanliness and accessibility - and did I mention the Staff - ensures an intimate experience that emboldens memories that will last a life time! I CANNOT wait to visit this little oasis again in the future and Playa Fiesta will be at the top of my list for destination weddings for years to come!
Well Done, Playa Fiesta! You sure know how to through a Fiesta and make such a momentous occasion for families a fantastic one!

My husband and I got married here last week and it was the absolute best decision!! The whole place is absolutely stunning but what really stands out is the people & the service.
Lindsay, Gabi, Adam, Tammy were my wedding planning gurus and made the process enjoyable. I knew when I got married, I didn't want to plan a wedding, I didn't want to have to find vendors and do all the stressful wedding planning stuff. When I found Playa Fiesta online, I knew instantly it was where I wanted to get married.
Lindsay and Gabi are incredible wedding planners and I loved every second of working with them, they both reply to emails round the clock, constantly impressing me. But what impressed me even more, was their warmth & kindness when I finally got to meet them in person. Honestly, was so sad having to hug them goodbye at the end of our week and i sincerely hope our paths cross again in the future. They made all of my dreams come true & gave us the most incredible wedding.
I got to spend so much time with Lindsay, from her popping in to say hello, meeting lots of our guests, & to even being so involved with my hair & makeup trail. She is such a light & you can tell she clearly loves what she does & she is amazing at it.
Lindsay & Adam have currated the most amazing team at Playa Fiesta, all my guests even noticed & couldn't stop raving about the incredible service. From Charley the bartender who remembered everyone's names & drink orders all week long, to Rico & Jorge & all the other amazing servers, and Martin, our evening coordinator who was always so kind & fun, even got down with us on the dance floor the night of our wedding!
One other thing to note, is I am vegan, and finding a place where I felt I'd have options all week was really important to me. & let me tell you, Playa Fiesta was the right choice. All the servers knew I was the bride, knew I was vegan, and would always immediately point out what I could & couldn't have at all the breakfast, lunch & dinner buffets, even having separtely cooked entrees for me when needed.
From the a la carte menu the chopped salad is excellent, I ordered it more than once. Also the homemade flour tortillas for our fajita night were incredible as well as every mornings Chilaquiles which they also made me my own huge, vegan dish. And can't forget to mention my personal vegan carrot cake, their in house chef made for me for the wedding night, it was SO good, I made sure to finish it poolside the next day.
All of our guests made sure to tell us it was the best wedding they have ever been to and they are not wrong.Everything about Playa Fiesta is magical. Getting to spend 5 nights with our guests in such a beautiful place, knowing it was just us and our people around the pool, with great food & drinks & incredible service the whole week long, made it so incredibly special. & some how the wedding day was even more perfect. We seriously could not have hoped for a more amazing wedding & are so sad it's over! I hope some of my friends book their weddings here in the future so we have an excuse to go back! Thank you to everyone at Playa Fiesta for making our week so incredibly magical!

One word, AMAZING! We stayed there for a wedding from Wednesday through Sunday. We had a beautiful room that opened right up to the lanai over looking the beautiful ocean. All the staff was so nice, helpful and trustworthy. Lindsay the owner and Gabi the coordinator have great attention to detail and were on top of everything! When they someone how found out I was pregnant, I had virgin drinks at my fingertips for all the celebratory happenings without me even asking. Charlie the bartender even recognized it and always had another one ready for me. Now that’s service! The moment you set a finished drink down, it’s picked up and cleaned. Your room is also cleaned/turned down daily and restocked with waters. (I accidentally left my purse out in the room with my money, passport etc. in it and it wasn’t even touched when they cleaned the room! I’ve never been to a place -especially in another country- where I actually felt comfortable doing that.) Every event we had that weekend seemed to go off without a hitch and was just perfect! Lindsay’s team really knows how to work very smoothly together. I believe it was Mario and or Luis(aka Niño) helped us a few times order some local late night pizza delivery and even brought it to our rooms when it arrived!! I could go on and on about how much I love this place (I mean I want to get married again just to have our wedding there!) but you should just go experience it for yourself!

Look no further, Playa Fiesta is the #1 choice in PV for hosting your wedding or event. I was fortunate enough to book my wedding at Playa Fiesta. The management and coordination staff are immaculate planners, making planning every detail of your wedding seamless. The owners are involved from start to finish and ensure your every question or request is answered quickly. Every single vendor they recommended to us is amazing (transportation, photography, bakery, florals, boat cruise, IV recovery, etc.). During the wedding week, get ready to feel like royalty and make lifelong friendships. All of the staff, from the chef, bartenders, waitstaff, cleaners, reception, coordination, management, are so friendly and amazing. They are a family and truly love working at Playa Fiesta which translates to perfect service all around. Drinks and food come out faster than you can order, every event starts on time, your room is cleaned perfectly. The hotel itself is beautiful and photos don’t do it justice. The beach is literally steps from the pool area, the ocean warm and lovely to swim in. The hotel is less than a 10 minute drive from Zona Romantica (really cool district with food/restaurants/bars). Taxis come in minutes and are inexpensive. Playa Fiesta is the only choice for your wedding or event in PV.

It's a very short cab ride from downtown and bus ride to other smaller areas. I wouldn't recommend walking on that road, you can but it's much safer to just take the bus. It's cheap and quick to explore.
Hello - I was married there in May and just got back from another four days back! It was fun to meet some of the couples who got married there 5, 7, and 9 years ago and come back every year. We had the opportunity to explore PV a lot more this time. The cab ride is short and inexpensive, maybe 200 pesos. There are a ton of bars and clubs, really great and fun restaurants with beautiful views, and even free entertainment along the beach and board walk. We bounced around a lot and there are so many bars with many different vibes. I highly recommend Hotel Playa Fiesta and everything that comes with enjoying Puerto Vallarta!
Hi Rachael, Congrats! You will have a fabulous wedding site. I was only a guest so can't answer your questions. However, the Hotel gave use excellent recommendations on everything we asked for, including a hair salon Elle Salon, so ask them. Have a blessed wedding!
