Overall we liked this resort. Our 11-year-old loved it, as it is right on a beach and also has several nice swimming pools. The beach was kind of rough and about half the time we were there the red flag was up, but there are always the pools as backups. The beach has palapas and the pool has a lot... more

My husband and I own a one bedroom at the newer Villa del Arco in Cabo San Lucas; therefore, we typically go to Cabo, but, this year, we decided to try another city in Mexico and felt Puerto Vallarta would be a good option since we could stay at one of two sister resorts there (Villa del Palmar or Flamingos).... more

I'll start with the Cons: *As soon as we checked in, a staff member tried to get us to attend a time-share presentation in order for us to receive a "Gold Card." The gold card would get us discounts and benefits on snorkeling and other touristy events. Fortunately, PV is filled with salesmen who offer cheaper tickets without timeshare presentations.... more

We took our family of 6, including 3 teenagers, to Villa del Palmar June 15-22nd . For our first time in Puerto Vallarta, we wanted to stay in town to have easy access to activities, restaurants etc. We had the same problem with check-in I'd read in other postings...they didn't have a two-bedroom available, wanted to put us in the... more

I took note of tips from other reviewers and here are some good tips and notes that will help ensure that you have a good stay... more

Got three bedroom ocean front suite. Very nice room and view. House keeping kept room in order daily. Had one issue one second to last date. Hotel advised that we had to vacate room as they had reserved it for someone else. The hotel was quite rude about it all and forced us to move to one bedroom suite far... more

As a timeshare owner in Cabo San Lucas, I booked my stay in Puerto Vallarta expecting a spectacular stay. Upon arrival, I found my 1 bedroom room in need of a makeover. The smell of sewage often filled the room even with the air conditioner on. The choice of on site restaurants was limited as well. I pay annual maintenance... more

Just got back from VDP stayed a week from the 17th to the 24th, got lucky to get a direct flight out of NWK which was nice so got in early on Sat. which I think worked in our favor to avoid some of the horror stories alot of people have had on here. Also we traded a time share... more

We chose Villa Del Palmar with some trepidation, after reading many of the reviews. I've decided that there are more people writing reviews if they've had a bad experience! Our experience was very good. The hotel itself was very nice. We DID experience a problem at check in; the rooms we had reserved supposedly did not exist (large studio with... more
