"Hotel Mousai knocked it out of the park. The staff was on point and made sure we were completely taken care of. The roof top pool was an amazing place to hang out during the day. The drinks and food up there were amazing. The restaurants were top notch! Misika and Blanca Blue were our personal favorites. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner Hotel Mousai has you covered for anything you crave. I could not be happier with our experience and thank the staff for helping us celebrate our wedding...

Barceló Puerto Vallarta - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The hotel and rooms are beautiful. Beach and foliage are beautiful as well. However, the food is average at best."

Hilton Vallarta Riviera All-Inclusive Resort, Puerto Vallarta

10/10 Excellent

"A True Sanctuary in Puerto Vallarta: My Third Visit and Counting This was my third time staying at the Hilton Vallarta, and it somehow continues to exceed my expectations. When you find a resort that truly allows you to disconnect, you keep coming back, and this property has become that go-to spot for me. What truly sets this hotel apart is the phenomenal staff. Walking through the doors and having the workers actually remember me from previous trips speaks volumes about their level of service. It instantly makes you feel genuinely welcome and sets the tone for a trip where your daily troubles just disappear. The location is unbeatable, specifically because of the pristine private beach. As someone who loves observing marine life and staying physically active, the access to the water here is fantastic. The swimming is top-notch, and you can experience excellent snorkeling right off the beach without ever needing to book a boat or excursion. It is the perfect setup: you can get some solid exercise in the ocean, catch plenty of sun on the sand, and then completely unwind. Finally, the dining is a massive highlight. You can expect consistently excellent, high-quality food across the board, which is exactly what you need to refuel after an active day in the water. If you are looking for a fantastic place to stay where you can simply relax, eat incredibly well, get some exercise, and let the ocean take your stress away, this is the place. I already look forward to visit number 4!"

Hotel Casa Iguana Mismaloya

2/10 Terrible

"We chose to stay at this hotel for one night to take advantage of their pool facilities while ours was undergoing maintenance. Unfortunately, the pool water was GREEN, the chaise lounges lacked shade and offered no umbrellas except for the perimeter tables. Furthermore, the property is in need of renovations and maintenance. The requirement to leave identification at the front desk to obtain pool towels, subpar mattress and pillow comfort, and questionable cleanliness standards, all contributing to a disappointing staycation experience."

Costa Sur All Inclusive Classico Collection by Sonesta

4/10 Poor

"No internment no music to dance drinks so expensive and no alcohol taste at all is a very all property shower either hit or cold, faucets not working properly, and when I made the reservations for this place at that time it wasn’t all inclusive, they changed a week before we arrived, I just because we’re not all inclusive they dined a water bottle for me and my husband, and that’s good we didn’t get all inclusive because it’s not worded at all"

Hotel Mousai Puerto Vallarta - All Inclusive - Adults Only

2/10 Terrible

"Paid for all inclusive and they had "premium" options so it wasnt really all inclusive. Front desk tried to upsell SPAs everytime they saw us . Had early check in and the concierge said room would be ready in about half an hour but waited almost 2 hours for it. Paid extra for a private beach dinner and when we showed up they weren't ready, they said you can come back tomorrow or wait about an hour an a half very unprofessional. The rooms speaker and tablet would not fully connect at times. Tried calling concierge for dinner reservations and they simply said that restaurants closed and hung up . Overall very nice room but for the price i paid I could have gone somewhere better with no extra add ons and no pressure into buying anything."
