Barceló Puerto Vallarta - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms: comfortable bed/pillows/sheets/towels, good shower, spacious, lovely balcony. Pools were great. Poolside service excellent. Food was tasty. Seaside massage was amazing! (Ask for the RMT’s certificate so you can claim it through insurance.) It’s worth it to get the premium level upgrade. The only con is that the beach is really small and the riptide is strong, so swimming can be challenging and “long walks on the beach” are not happening. The town of Mismaloya is also not very walkable. If wandering and exploring are your thing, this might not be the best choice. However, if you plan to lounge/float/sip by the pool you will love this hotel. "

Hotel Casa Iguana Mismaloya

10/10 Excellent

"This vacation we planned to stay a week and stayed five weeks. It has a beautiful pool and the gardens and turtle pool are amazing. The rooms are spacious and cleaned every day if you want. The staff is always available. Coffee, bottled water and bathroom supplies are attended to everyday. Clean towels are given out every morning. There is a restaurant on the property which serves delicious meals. We will be returning again for several weeks."

Costa Sur Resort, Classico Collection By Sonesta

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location. Great Staff who seem happy to be there. My room had 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a living room, and a kitchen, plus a wraparound balcony giving panoramic views of the bay. We listened to the sound of waves crashing on the beach. Yes, the hotel is a bit older, but it is well maintained, well staffed, and clean. On the bus route to Mismaloya, or a 6 minute cab ride to the Romantic Zone."
