Hotel Riu Vallarta - All Inclusive

Hotel Riu Vallarta - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"We experienced hot, humid, Hurricane Simon the entire week we were there. We appreciated the organized way the management and staff handled the difficult week. It was difficult to be in lock down -- no beach access the entire week except for our first day and last day we were leaving. No swimming in ocean. No pool for 2.5 days. Obviously we are grateful Simon went away from Jalisco, but it still made for along, frustrating week. Thank you Riu staff for your hours and hours of pouring into your guest during a scary week for you too!"

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel & Mexican Charm - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"When we first got there, we had asked to switch rooms because the room we got was extremely small, and there were multiple things falling apart with the room. Once we upgraded our room, the room was perfect. It had enough space and seemed to be a more updated room. The staff was incredible and so nice and helpful throughout the hotel however, the check in staff weren’t very friendly (except for Laura). Overall we had a great stay"
