“We had a great time!”

Vallarta Palace

Jun 19, 2008
4/4 found this review helpful

We just returned from our 10 night stay and loved the hotel. The hotel and grounds were clean and very well kept and the staff was AMAZING! They try very hard to please and, during our stay, they didn't miss!!
We've stayed at many other all inclusives and I would rate the food as very good. Much better tasting and a broader variety than other AI hotels.
Shopping tip: The small town of Bucerias is about a 15-20 minute taxi ride north. I would recommend doing some shopping there. Less chaotic then downtown PV and better prices.
I am ready to go back to the Vallarta Palace anytime and would highly recommend it!! It's a great relaxing time.

“Dream wedding”

We just returned home from our vacation. We got married at the Vallarta Palace. It was beautiful. Everything you could dream of.
The hotel was immaculate. The food was wonderful. Great variety. The rooms were awesome. We met so many different people from all over the world and had such a blast for our wedding/honeymoon. We will be returning next year for our vacation. In the restaurants, Miguel and Manuel, wonderful waiters. All of the staff there was great, we were treated so well and everyone goes out of there way to make it a wonderful stay. Lorena was our wedding consultant, she was great.
We shared our wedding day with 3 other couples but they treat each wedding so individual you do not feel thrown all together.
Thank you!!

“Loved Everything!!!!!!!!!!!”

Vallarta Palace

4/4 found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed at Vallarta Palace. This was our first All-Inclusive Resort trip ever. And we LOVED IT! This hotel does everything for you. We will definitely stay there again and/or another Palace resort.

The hotel was new and clean, staff was wonderful, the activities very fun, the location was beautiful, and the vacation was too short :(

Activities we participated in:

Canal Tour- fun and relaxing

City Tour- Awsome, get to see downtown, and Tequila factory, shopping

Rhythm of the Night (Vallarta-Adventures.com) - fun boat ride, decent show and food, beautiful location secluded from everything

Water Park- great for kids, not so much for adults, pretty good bird, sea lion, and dolphin shows

Nightly Resort Shows- fun and nice way to end/start the night!

Bike Tour from resort- nice little ride to get your morning going!

Boogy/Kayak on beach- fun to try, hint-kayak when low waves

I'm sure we did other things, I just can't recall everything. I took about 300 pics, but I'll just put 3 up. Too many cool things to capture down there!

“Awesome!”

Vallarta Palace

Jun 4, 2008
5/5 found this review helpful

It's been a year since I stayed, and I'm still telling people how great it was. Boyfriend and I were overworked and needed to kick back and not have to think! This was the place. The food (I'm quite a foodie), the drinks, the beatiful view. The 24 hour room service was such a bonus- I did a midnight club sandwich every night after a few cocktails- perfecto. I read other reviews about the food- don't expect good cheeseburgers and pizza- but other stuff is outstanding: fresh fruit, seafood tacos, and the breakfast buffett is out of this world de-lish! The free access to kayaks and wind surf boards was awesome. We did the city tour, a bit too much time spent at the overpriced silver shop, but the tiny Tequilla factory was a treat (they make only 1200 liters a year). Next time, I might go to the the city myself via taxi, but it was a fun day. Also, the sunset cruise was great-- don't forgot to bring a sweater, I was freezing and I'm no stranger to boats. At the resort they tried to get us to do time-share stuff, but we had 5 days and I wasn't at all into it, they totally understood and never bothered us again. If you want a full blown relaxing hassle free trip, then this is the place. I'm a world traveler, but on the trip, I stayed put at the resort and soaked up all the free drinks, food, pool and water activties. You can walk for miles on the beach. Even at night we stayed at the hotel and watched the shows and ate all night long. The bar has some board games you can use. There were a lot of little kids (not a big fan) but they seemed to be entertained and well behaved. BTW, this is a great place to bring small kids- very safe and fun. Oh, and the room had all neccessary toiletries (excluding sunscreen)- you don't even have to pack a toothbrush or toothpaste- it's in the room waiting for you in the beatifully tiled bathroom right next to the blow dryer!! We're getting married this year and I'm thinking to make life easy, we'll elope to this place and skip the big party. adios amigas
