The 10 best hotels in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico
In Nuevo Vallarta, you can lounge on the golden-sand beaches of Banderas Bay… or take an ATV tour through the nearby Sierra Madre jungle. A local water park has great twisting slides and sea lion shows… or you could treat the kids to a memorable swim with dolphins. (It'll make for a great "What I did over summer vacation" report.)

Construction site right next to our room! Lots of noise and a view of a fence net!
Reviewed By MakeItHappen2000We arrived last night and were put in a ground floor room right next to a construction site. We only discovered this in the morning when we opened the doors to find a huge net in front of our balcony with a construction site to the right. If you want to sit outside all you can hear is the sound of construction, not very relaxing all!!! At no time were we advised that a construction site was going on before we were allocated our room by Hardrock Hotel. I spoke to Gabriel in guest services who did not offer an apology and had zero interest in sorting the situation out. After stressing the situation he said come back in 30mins and he will see what he can do! After returning back to see Gabriel he advised that he can get us the same room on the otherside of the hotel but it won't be ready until after 3pm! As we are a family and had fully unpacked the night we arrived we just thought its not worth waisting any more of out time on holiday repacking all of our things, waiting for the room to be ready and then unpacking everything again! The Hotel is nice but the experience we have had is so disappointing, I've made a video of the view and all the noise so I can make people aware of what the will experience in this section of thd hotel they they don't tell you about!

Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit
Reviewed By Heather MWe just returned from the most wonderful and relaxing vacation at the Grand Velas Rivera Nayarit. Our concierge, Luis, was AMAZING! From the moment we arrived Luis was so helpful and accommodating. When our plans changed unexpectedly, he was able to come through for us as we were scrambling to find a notary nearby. Luis assisted us with all of our reservations, excursions, transportation needs, as well as scheduling our COVID testing -which made it very easy to return to the U.S. Thank YOU Luis! The Grand Velas hotel is private, exclusive, and beautifully appointed throughout the entire facility. The exterior grounds are impeccably clean, and the 3 BDR Family suite is absolutely stunning. The patio with hot tub and view is perfect for evening relaxation as the sun is setting. The infinity pool and beach cabanas are a must do! The beach was our go-to every day for swimming in the warm ocean, and relaxing at the cabana. We enjoyed the flexibility of the Azul buffet for breakfast and lunch, and had some excellent dinners at the specialty restaurant, Sen Lin. The Italian restaurant, Lucca, was our 2nd favorite, but all 4 restaurants are great! Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful tranquility of this beautiful resort. The Grand Velas is worth every penny!

Great staff, great drinks, decent property. Would stay again.
Reviewed By 418jessicarWe booked the Occidental based on its proximity to a wedding 1 of us were attending next door & a budget restraint. The front desk staff was great at check in. All the normal things— provide your passport, get your wrist band, etc… The rooms were decent. They could use some updating but certainly wasn’t the worst place I’ve stayed. The beds were moderately comfortable, the thermostat in the 2 rooms we had were a bit hit or miss. We had to have maintenance come once to restart/fix the air as it wouldn’t cool and the fan wouldn’t run. It got fixed promptly, so no issue. There is 1 main buffet, and 3 a la carte restaurants that require reservations to eat. The concierge doesn’t open in the lobby until 9:30 and you can only make a reservation for the day of- which is different than other resorts I’ve stayed at. This is 1 thing I wish they’d change…. If you go on an excursion or something for the day, you typically leave before the concierge opens so you’re out of luck for reservations for that day because you’re missing the concierge. The buffet food was meh, I’d give it 2.5/5. The omelet station in the AM was great! Of course alllll the fresh fruit which was my fav. They need a pool snack bar type spot like other resorts. The 1 consistent thing at this resort was the staff. Sergio was the main entertainment guy, and he was awesome, so so good at his job. The servers were very accommodating, and always happy to assist or answer questions. Julio at the pool bar ran his ass off all day and remembered everyone’s drinks. They all deserve awesome tips! There are only 2 pools on site- and 1 is for the privilege guests only, including the only hot tub which kind of sucks. There were plenty of activities all day- Zumba, Yoga, Water Aerobics, Water and/or beach volleyball, and of course a show every night. There was a Michael Jackson night, an international show 1 night. These were usually outside but 1 night it was inside. After the show they turned the room into a dance club which was SUPER FUN!! There are plenty of chairs on the beach if you don’t want to be at the pool. All in all, not my fav resort but definitely wouldn’t be deterred to come back if someone picked it!

Wouldn't recommend it.
Reviewed By rupyrihalI wish i hadn't stayed here based on the reviews. I will start with some of the pros: - The waitstaff is very nice at the restaurant and at the bar by the pool. - Lots of pools, so it was not crowded. - Room is nice and clean. - Food was ok. One meal had good veggie options. Cons - Staff that checked us in was rude and not helpful. Asked her what activities are available today and where we can eat since we were hungry after flight. She pointed me to the QR code i could scan to figure it out. Only place we could find was the snack bar, had to ask three people before we were pointed to the right direction. - Our room as close to where the weddings are held. Nothing against parting but being able to hear the music in our room made for a challenge. - Room was super cold and i asked to get fixed. They said they did it but room as super cold still. - The water for the shower was cold, pool water was warmer. They didn't fix it. - Asked to be moved to a different room and they didn't. - Only one place to get towels and after 1700 you have to go the bellboy makes for a long walk if you end by the beach and have to come back to get towels. Asked for 4 towels this was around 6pm, the bellboy said that is to many since the pool will be closing. - The time share people on the premises were not nice, very pushy, and rude. We decided to move after two days because of all the cons and the front desk aid nothing, no apologizes or anything to accommodate us. You can imagine being on vacation and having to find another resort to move two days into a 5 day vacation. No easy and not cheap.
