We stayed at Villas Vallarta from April 9-16, 2008. The rooms were clean and staff was great. We had two minor issues with noise. First one was our room was right above the Gold's Gym. Music comes on at 0700 on weekdays. We quickly changed rooms after day two. Secondly, we had a very large group of young teenagers there for our last few days. The first night was horrible. I do not think they slept at all nor let anyone else sleep. The next and remaining nights were not an issue as the hotel was able to control their behavior (tough to do with so many kids but they did). We ate all of our meals and spend most days at Cantos. If they call tht across the road OK but it really like walking down one set of stairs and up another and then you were in the hotel. The food was very average to say the least but we were able to eat at the buffet or the pool lounge pretty well any time we wished. Would not eat at the Steakhouse again. Tough when our beef is so much better but the Italian Restaurant was alright with more food than we could eat. The omelettes every morning were our favorite! Drinks were plentiful and could get them whenever we wanted them. We loved the pool and spent more days lounging under the beach umbrellas. Our trip was very moderately priced and would do it again in a heartbeat at this hotel if the price was right. On a side note we took the city buses to some beaches further away (about an hour) and would recommend doing that to anyone. For the $2.00 each it was worth it to see other beaches.

Just returned from a week at Villas Vallarta in PV... first time visitors to PV so wasnt sure what to expect, have lots have friends that have been numerous times so there help in getting thru customs was a blessing... Villas Vallarta was marvelous the rooms were very clean, the bed was so comfortable had heard stories about hard beds and this was far from it, we stayed in room 818., food was average, i am a fussy eater and found something to eat everyday... waiters, front desk and cleaning staff were very helpful. very quiet at nite slept like a baby the whole time there... because we had access to Canto del sol we had double the fun ... beach was rocky some days but that was to be expected.... drinks kept coming and the food was everywhere...didn't do any excursions thought for the first time just going to check the town out we were busy every nite on the malecon.. did lots of walking and rode the bus numerous times truily enjoyed that venture...can't wait to go back only 11 more months to go....this time thinking of taking teenage children.. oh and we were there during spring break and never had any problems with any of the kids taht were there.. there were all ages there from teenagers to families with young children to the seniors

This was our third trip to P.V. and our second time at this resort.Of course,your first trip will always be remembered as the best ever.Although I can`t really say anything to negative about this resort as it is kept very clean,the staff are aweson,trying to help as much as they can,the food was o,k but was not hot enough and you can always go across the road for better things.We tried for months to book the room we wanted but was not allowed,even talked to the hotel directly but had no luck.Got stuck in the very last room at the hotel which was miles away from everything,took three days to get moved and still didn`t get the room we wanted but it was much closer to the pool.They no longer have any kind of entertainment or activities,you have to go across the road for this.It is very laid back and quiet which is great if you want this.We found it was cartered only for the seniors which it was mostly booked by.The beach is across the street but you have full acess to everything at Canta del Sol,the beach is full of rocks so just to go relax is great but to play in the waves,watch out,you will get hurt or cut in some way.We will always remember our first time here,it was aweson but will not go back as we know there are better resorts in P.V. with more to offer.

Just returned last night from a week at Villas Vallarta, and are very happy with our experience there. We'd been booked into Canto del Sol, but they somehow over-booked so about a day before departure we were told our room was having to be switched to Villas Vallarta, which is all part of the same complex. We were initially somewhat disappointed, but since we were offered a good discount for the inconvenience and last-minute change and were offered the full amenities of Canto del Sol, we went ahead - and are glad we did! Once we saw how laid-back and quiet Villas Vallarta was compared to the much larger Canto Main, we were more than happy to be staying there. We would go over to the Canto to beach walk and experience the crashing waves, but during the heat of the day we'd return to the pool area of the Villas, which was smaller and a much more intimate atmosphere to relax in. The younger crowd would not likely appreciate the Villas as much as the +40 somethings, since they'd want to meet their peers and strut their stuff, for which the more boisterous Canto del Sol is better suited. We found the variety and quality of food at the Villas to be equal to the Canto, and the availability of drinks was better at the Villas because there was never any line-up due to the much smaller clientele at Villas. Both Villas Vallarta and Canto del Sol are situated very well, with all sorts of shops in the immediate area, and old downtown and the Malecon only a half hour or so walk from these hotels. The staff were most accomodating, and we had no problems with check-in or check-out, or in getting things needed e.g hair dryer. Both Villas and Canto main were clean, well-maintained, and with good security. We had a great holiday there, and would definitely recommend the Villas Vallarta to our friends. There is nothing to complain about unless you think you deserve 5 star service when you're only paying for 3-4 star service.
