Family Selection at Grand Palladium Vallarta Resort & Spa - All Inclusive
4.1/570 Reviews
I would give 5 starts just for “The Nest” restaurant. Special mentions and a big thank you to Nazly, Daniela, Andres, Julio, Roberto for their excellent service. Family-like service with a smile and always ready to accommodate requests. I’d say everyone who worked here made us feel welcome and we ended up frequenting the restaurant just for the service, food and views. 5/5 for the breathtaking views and the delicious Mexican meals. The reason for giving a 4/5 is for the overall family selection itself. While it’s definitely better than the rest of the resort. Pros: access to a nice beach that isn’t crowded, pools are nicer and good small perks / conveniences. Carlos (the butler) made us feel welcome and was always ready to serve with a smile. Room cleaning frequency is way better (by a mile compared to the regular) - thanks to Belen our tireless and excellent cleaner. Cons: Other restaurants (outside of Nest) are nearly impossible to get a reservation on the App, when we managed to talk to someone and get a reservation, we realized the restaurants aren’t even 50% full. It’s not easy to get a hold of folks on the phone from the room, but when you meet them face to face they are ready to help. Non-family selection areas: Before we upgraded we had constant badgering from the palladium attendants who wanted us to do a walking tour to get some free spa coupon. Service at the regular resort (not family selection) was minimal - tough to catch a hold of anyone and SO crowded so we felt the need to “have to” upgrade.

Compared to the all-inclusive hotels I've been to before, it's a bit smaller. So the restaurant and pool were not crowded, which was nice. The room was also very clean, and the whirlpool bath in the room was especially great.

OK Y’all. Day three of our five night six day stay. I cannot wait any longer to dispute all the naysayers regarding this hotel! Our stay has been amazing so far! The service is five star… Everyone has been super accommodating. I would name names but it would be simply everyone we’ve encountered so far. I will say that Gabriella, Josefina, Hugo, Luis (buffet) and everyone at the Altitude lounge are super nice and clearly want to make our stay the best it can be:) So far the food has been pretty freaking awesome. Breakfast buffet yes really fabulous. Mexican restaurant last night a super great surprise given the terrible reviews we saw. No idea who is trolling this hotel and posting all those bad reviews but I’m telling you that I am very particular and really appreciate great service. So far that’s all I have had at this really wonderful place! About to try the grill so will cut it short for now. But let’s just close by saying that my guy booked this place and I was super skeptical because of all the bad reviews. So glad I trusted him because I am loving it here :-) The infinity pool does get pretty loud during the day but I’m sure younger people love it. By the way we are in an oceanfront suite and joined the altitude club a very good investment! Carrie and Ed

While we had a great time relaxing and the bars were always great, there were a few bumps that did not feel great. We had issues wtih their transport venue and did not get help. The towels were never there on time and when we asked employees to help, they just told us to wait and didn't seem to care. The food at the italian restaurant was not great but the others were fantastic. The pools were great but needed to be cleaned of bugs more often. The pool at the spa was the highlight and the massages were wonderful.
Conrad Punta de Mita
4.4/5102 Reviews
This was our best family vacation in years. After being locked down since March 2020, we needed to get out and live our lives again. The Conrad was perfect for that! Brand new, clean, expertly designed, we had a perfect week. The property was spotless due to the staff and ground keeping crew. The service was exceptional - there were more staff members than guests. We were never without staff to assist us. We soaked up the sun, ate, had too many pina coladas, and lived pool side for a week. Our room had a private soaking pool that we used at the end of each day. Could not have been better. The beach was unbelievably clean - the hotel staff raked it every morning. We stayed in Cancun in 2019 and could not go on the beach due to the sea****. Just the opposite in Puerto Vallarta. Everything was extremely clean. We went ATV riding, ventured into town, frequented the game room, ate at every restaurant and were never disappointed! The on-site Falconer was always entertaining. The lobby and views were beautiful. For our return to the US, a covid test was required. We were tested on site (in a hotel meeting room) the morning before our flight and had the results in 90 minutes, with the require documentation in hand in 3 hours. There were zero delays at the Puerto Vallarta airport due to the US testing requirements. Extremely easy re-entry. I can't remember a single difficulty or disappointment. Only fond memories and good times. Needless to say, we will be returning!
Riu Vallarta - All Inclusive
4.2/5101 Reviews
We arrived back a week ago and wanted to collect my thoughts on this resort before writing. We had a great time and are planning a trip back for our family in a year or so. We were there celebrating our anniversary and we were given chocolate strawberries, champagne and a nice note. I understand that is not much for many but the small gesture was very thoughtful and appreciated. Our room faced another resort/condos but since not many there it was interesting to watch the quiet activity over there. The food was really good we found and very plentiful. Beach was amazing and where we spent the majority of our days. We did try a pool one day but it got contaminated by a child and was closed for the remainder of the day. But from what I could tell lots of people really enjoyed the pools. We tried every specialty restaurant, our favorite was Italian and least favourite the steakhouse. I think it had to do with how hot the evening was (restaurant is on a patio) and our steaks were way way overcooked. My husband did eat them both though as he didn’t want it to go to waste. Like I said we had nothing serious to complain about, your vacation is what you make of it as well. We can’t wait to return!
