Find the Best Puerto Vallarta Hotels

Very clean and easy to get to from the airport. Staff were excellent and accomodating.

Rented a airb&b in the complex in January then a suite in the hotel for part of February. The place has a great pool, enough lounges, comfortable beds and great staff and security, beautiful landscape, the restaurant in the complex was good but only open in the morning . Close to restaurants and shopping centres. Our suite had kitchen ( that what we wanted coming from a airb&b) but was extremely minimal we had to purchase several kitchen items like dishcloths, lighter for the gas stove, pay for drinking water etc The airb@b didn’t mention it’s pet friendly, most people did look after them but some could be annoying (barking) the suite was open to the hallway and stairway so could be noisy. Also didn’t care for noisy day visitors or radios by the pool, prefer my own music (I use headphones). I know I’m picky but I’m on holidays and paying.

All-inclusive hotel, all rooms have sea view, perfect for vacation and relaxation. Except it’s a bit expensive, there’s really nothing wrong with it 😀 The Italian and Mexican restaurants for dinner are both delicious.

After a two year absence, I returned to the San Marino for my fifth visit, a two week all inclusive holiday April 7-April 21....I was greeted warmly by the Manager Luis and assistant manager Armando. Mauro the hotel porter was his usual friendly self. I found the hotel again, very clean, with ongoing physical improvements to the hotel itself, and the food overall had improved from the last visit.....The bathrooms in the cheaper rooms desperatey need to be updated...but then of course prices go up. I must say they have replaced the mattresses and while firm, they are unlike the concrete blocks of yore that required a call down to the front desk for a foamy....Perhaps I have a little extra padding now as well....Masking regulations had been relaxed somewhat, but after a few days Covid reared its ugly head again, and masks were worn full time by staff, and guests were required to wear them while choosing their food from the buffet, which was dished out by kitchen employees....I actually preferred this as you know only a couple of gloved hands were on the serving spoons, as opposed to possibly hundreds with a self serve buffet....Food waste was cut down as well.....The servers would dish up small to medium portions, but you could always go back for more if you wanted to....I rarely did as the portions served were generous enough for me. Unfortunately due to Covid regulations and the staffing needed to serve guests, the made to order omelettes in the morning were dispensed with....but there was always a good selection of Breakfast items. The servers and chambermaids were friendly and efficient as always and work so very hard.....please tip your servers and chambermaids well.....Samuel, Jesus, Antonio, and the other servers (whose names escape me at the moment) made our holiday that much more pleasant with their great service. We were there of course at a very busy time Semana Santa(Holy week) and the second week of school holidays...so the hotel was crowded....However, they are enforcing the adults only pool rule....so one could have a quiet drink by the adults pool if one desired. They have closed the upper bar permanently......as it is close to the childrens pool, but it may have been due to staff shortages/cost cutting as well. The bartender Edgar still pours a good drink, and still loves to tease gringos....The beachfront and all of Olde Towne were incredibly busy, and the San Marino being by the pier, is anything but quiet. Would I return to the hotel for another holiday?....Probably, its nice being greeted like an old friend when you return to a hotel, and the San Marino remains good value for travellers on a budget, and the hotel fits me like a comfortable old shoe...but I would definately choose a quieter time of the year to visit.....

The view from our room was fantastic, the pool itself is very beautifully designed with lots of trees for shade and privacy. However, I contracted Pseudomonas aeruginosa from the pool the very first night of the trip which ruined the rest of our stay as I couldn’t walk and was in severe pain. I knew immediately what was causing the swelling and blisters, so we went to the on-site medical staff to receive a prescription for antibiotics. Paid $155 for the doctor to tell me it was not an infection and to take ibuprofen. Gave it a few days treating with Ibuprofen and it was only getting worse. Ended up moving to another hotel, seeing another doctor to get the prescription I needed and the infection cleared up very quickly thereafter. If not for this combination, the stay would’ve been pretty good. Though I highly recommend you eat elsewhere, as the food was disappointing compared to what you can get at any other restaurant in the area. For the price we paid, we will be staying elsewhere next time.

We are here now and this is our 3rd time to visit the Marriott here. This morning s the best hotel yoyd money can buy in PV. The pool is absolutely incredible in size and the pool service is awesome. Carlos took excellent care of us today. The breakfast buffet is outstanding with great food selections and quality. Reyna has waited on us 2 days in a row and she is outstanding. She truly takes care of her customers. Ice cream - everyone likes ice cream and they gave a great ice cream shoppe. The rooms are very nice and the beds are outstanding! This place is 5 stars!

Great location. Hotel is on the older side but it was a clean bed and cool room for the stay. 97% of the staff were very friendly and service was great. Unfortunately some have really bad attitudes directed only at particular guests. Strangely those were also not wearing name tags. With that said Jesus was one of the most helpful and friendly staff member. Not sure if it just México, but there seemed to be a form or paper needed to be completed for every step of the check in and check out process. Not very eco friendly and must need huge storage facilities for all that paperwork. Overall, a great stay and will stay there again.
