“NOT GREAT”

NH Krystal Puerto Vallarta

Mar 23, 2008
1/2 found this review helpful

Ok well what do I say about this resort. It is boring and old. They tell you that it has ala carte....NOT. You can ask for a coupon to a few restaurants down town but when you produce the coupon you are told you can order from a choice of 6 things and that it is take out...a joke. The buffet is second rate.....breakfast was ok. The beach burgers were good(if you were willing to wait an hour or so for one of the old dinasour waiters to take your order)
The service is very crappy...the waiters at the beach are old as the beach itself i'm sure and are very rude! you would think it was their personal vodka they were serving.
The mix between all inclusive and not is a real pain as you have to sign a ticket for everything you get even a bottle of water.
There is no entertainment and no lounge type area to meet friends for a drink. It is a boring resort.
Our room was ok but I heard from alot of other travellers that there was black mold and bugs.
Spring breakers wre aloud to do anything they wanted and I was happy I never had any small kids with me and felt for the families who did.
Beach peddlers are pushy but you can get what ever you want for the price you want if you stick with it.

“Construction on site.”

NH Krystal Puerto Vallarta

Booked resort with Uniglobe, was told there was no construction at this resort. Jack hammer sounds is what you will hear when sitting by the pool, unless it is sunday.

Bogarts which I was told was opened...is not open and has been closed for two years. We ate mostly at the buffet. Which was not great but better than cuba food. If you want Bacon in the morning you have to ask your server.

Was placed in a room with a view of the service road and main road, which is very loud. Second room was better, but the air conditioning wasn't working.

Location of resort is good, close to peir for any boat tours. Took the Bora Bora, great boat trip. go right to the pier for the best deal. Tour operators don't pick you up at you resort, you have to get their on your own.

Beach has alot of waves, I perfer more calmer water.
You can go for a great walk down the beach.

“Would not stay here again”

NH Krystal Puerto Vallarta

2 of 5 stars
British Columbia
Mar 17, 2008
1/2 found this review helpful

When we checked in the bathroom in our room was still dirty, there were coffee cup rings on the bathroom counter. The shower didn't drain properly, and of course, there was no bathtub. I asked for housekeeping, and the bathroom was given a quick swipe, not good enough.

Because of the plumbing problem, we asked to have our room changed, which they did the next day. We only had a window in the first room, the second room had a tiny balcony. However, there was an empty Corona bottle under our window the whole time we were there, it never got picked up.

The pool area was nice, but the grounds were dangerous for walking because of all the broken brickwork. There were cats on the grounds and I'm sure they use the beach for one big cat litter box, we could actually smell it in one area.

We went all-inclusive, but the staff didn't seem to hear you when you asked for a beer, or it took forever to get one. You have to sign for everything at this hotel when you are all-inclusive, and it's the same food day after day. We only saw one restaurant there, although I heard that there was a Japanese restaurant there as well. We didn't stay the resort very much, and we only ate breakfast there after the first day. So the all-inclusive really wasn't a good deal, because we ate out and had drinks somewhere else where we had to pay.

I'd go back to Puerto Vallarta in a heartbeat, but not to the Krystal.

“Loved the Atmosphere and will be back”

NH Krystal Puerto Vallarta

Mar 16, 2008

We really loved the atmosphere of the Krystal.The first night our room was facing the busy dusty street and we were not satisfied, but the next day we were moved to a room overlooking the quiet pool area, and from then on we were so very pleased, what a difference your room can make. All the staff were very caring and friendly. We did not do inclusive, but opted to search on our own the food of the area. We did eat a few times on site and found the food to be very good. Loved the main pool area, clean and fun, also enjoyed the hot tubs, and pool area. Used the huts on the beach and found the vendors fine, if you said No they would leave you alone. Did the Para Sailing in front of the Krystal on the beach and definite recommend as they were helpful and they instructed you well. We totally enjoyed our time at the Krystal and we are definitely going back with our friends, and asking for the same room we had. We definitely loved the atmosphere here, rather than being in a high rise resort area. Loved Puerto Vallarta Mexico and will be back and staying at the Krystal. Their definitely was construction, but that is something that seems necessary to keep up with the times. Tours offered from MLT were great. Services for us the travelers were convenient and close to the Krystal and had fun doing our morning routine of market for rolls and starbucks for coffee, and then sitting on our balcony enjoying the beautiful weather of Mexico.

“Never Again”

NH Krystal Puerto Vallarta

Mar 9, 2008
1/2 found this review helpful

We paid extra for a villa. What a joke. The first night the sewer backed up into the bathtub.......They never cleaned our pool the whole time we were there...... We never had hot water in the sink. We reported this 2 times and it was never fixed. We did the All-inclusive. Big MISTAKE.. The drinks never had any alcohol. I drank 6 Pina Coladas and never felt a thing. Same with our friends and the Margaritas. I am NOT a drinker!!!!! The rooms look NOTHING like the pictures! Our friends stayed in the Tower and said it was the better place to stay! After staying 3 nights, we checked out! We went elsewhere for the last 5 nights of our stay.
