Hotel Mousai in Puerto Vallarta really delivers a luxe experience. From the moment we checked in,…read moreVIP treatment with champagne, cool towels, and super attentive service. We stayed in a two bedroom suite and it was beautiful, super spacious, comfy beds, and a really nice shower. Room service was solid too which is always a win on vacation. The restaurants overall were good. The Asian spot was tasty, and there is a steakhouse included, but it was pretty mid. We ended up paying for the upgraded steakhouse for a better dining experience and that one definitely hit harder. One of my favorite parts was the rooftop bar at night. Great views, cozy seating, good drinks, and even hookah service if that is your thing. The whole place has that modern, upscale vibe without feeling stiff. Definitely a spot I would go back to when I want a bougie but fun getaway.

As a vegan traveler, I can confidently say that Hotel Mousai is the most vegan-friendly resort I…read morehave ever stayed at, and I've traveled a lot. This is one of the rare luxury resorts where vegan dining feels intentional, abundant, and genuinely excellent, not like an afterthought. Every restaurant on property was able to accommodate my dietary needs with ease, creativity, and enthusiasm. * Hiroshi deserves a special mention; the vegan chocolate cake is out of this world, and the vegan sushi options were some of the best I've ever had. * Dao was incredibly accommodating and happy to veganize anything on the menu. * Blanca Blue had many delicious vegan options that were clearly labeled on the menu. *BocaDos Steak House even offers a dedicated vegan menu, which was both thoughtful and delicious. * Noi the Italian cuisine restaurant was so accommodating and made me the best vegan veggie mushroom pizza, different types of breads and sauces, and a vegan dessert. They also make vegan pasta and risotto! * The pool bars were also fully accommodating and happy to customize dishes. Some of my favorite vegan items throughout the resort: * Vegan tacos * Fresh guacamole and chips with salsa * Jicama ceviche * Passion fruit and raspberry sorbet * Lattes with plant-based milk Room service was just as impressive. Some of my favorite foods to order were: * Almond milk oatmeal * Fresh fruit platters * Lattes and tea * Vegan chocolates * Veggie fajitas The staff was knowledgeable, kind, and proactive about dietary needs, which made the entire experience feel effortless and relaxing. They even surprised me with a vegan chocolate cake topped with fresh berries for my birthday! If you're vegan (or traveling with someone who is), Hotel Mousai is a dream destination. I felt completely taken care of, never limited, and genuinely excited for every meal. I highly recommend it and will absolutely be returning.

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta for a wedding, and since…read morethe accommodations were already chosen for us, I didn't read any reviews beforehand. But after seeing some of the mixed feedback now, I was honestly surprised. It seems like this place can be very hit or miss. Thankfully for us, it was definitely a hit. We were there for three nights, and overall had a great experience. Our main complaint would be the food, which we found to be mediocre overall, though there were definitely a couple of standouts. Next time, I'd skip the buffet except for the freshly made stations, which were the only part consistently worth it. We really enjoyed the teppanyaki at Tamari, and the fish and shrimp tacos from Blaze were so good we had them twice during our stay. On the other hand, dinner at Blaze was unremarkable and we were disappointed with the pizza and zeppole from Melanzane, though we didn't get to try anything else there. I do wish we had stayed an extra night or two to explore more of the dining options, though based on what we experienced, we may not have missed out on too much. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. Special shoutout to Rafael at the club lounge bar and Lizbeth at reception - both were a pleasure and made our stay even more enjoyable. I was also surprised by the size of the gym and the variety of equipment. I made sure to get at least one workout in and really appreciated the incredible ocean views while doing so. We visited in February and never felt like the resort was overcrowded. In fact, some restaurants seemed surprisingly empty at times. One thing worth noting: they have pickleball courts and a basketball court, which we didn't see advertised anywhere. We would've packed our pickleball gear had we known, but fortunately they provide equipment you can borrow. They also offer activities throughout the day - we mostly enjoyed the evening bar shows. I'd definitely recommend downloading their app to keep track of the schedule and access other helpful hotel information like menus. Overall, this was a very enjoyable stay and a strong positive experience for us. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because the dining experience didn't quite match the rest of the resort. While the food could be more consistent, the friendly staff, beautiful setting, amenities, and relaxed atmosphere made it a memorable stay.

We spent most of our time at the adult pool which was a lovely location with an infinity pool, hot tub, and drink service. There was also a great view of the beach, which seemed very private. The atmosphere in general was relatively relaxed and upscale, and not too many kids, but maybe it was off season. Overall, would certainly go again!

Dear Yulio, As we are celebrating our final evening here, I…read morewanted to personally share our experience at Sunan. This was, without question, one of the best dining experiences we've had at Hilton Vallarta Riviera. We returned again tonight, and once again the service and quality were absolutely exceptional. Edgar (Captain), Abraham (our server), and Isaura at the front delivered an outstanding level of professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. Everything was handled seamlessly, and they made our evening feel very special. The food was excellent from start to finish--the shrimp tempura, satay selections, sea bass, desserts, and drinks were all consistently high quality. This team truly operates at a five-diamond standard. No confusion, no unnecessary upselling--just genuine hospitality and a focus on delivering a great guest experience. You should be very proud of this team. They represent exactly what hospitality should look like. Thank you again for everything. We truly appreciate it and look forward to returning. Warm regards, Dr. Ardy Farokhirad

The hotel was mostly clean and the staff was super friendly. It helped being a diamond member with Hilton. The pool was never too busy. The ocean was a little dirty and smelly. But the all inclusive was a little disappointing. We ended up going into town to eat 90% of our meals. It all tastes pretty cruise ship like even though we were in paradise in Mexico. I would suggest just booking a cheap hotel in the romantic zone and skip this place. Especially if you have any standard with food. We found it to be pretty disappointing.

Their hotel and resort were also safe, beautiful, well maintained, and easily accessible by Uber, taxis, and other transport. I was told by a local driver that this location is considered the "Beverly Hills" of Puerto Vallarta, so prices were accordingly higher than in some other areas in town. Despite the price tag, I felt that the service we received was worth every dollar. I loved the all-inclusive dining and bar, and really appreciated the option of add-on services like massages, beauty salon, etc...not to mention the almost-private beach, two pools, and a hot tub! This venue provides entertainment and relaxation, as well as excellent wedding coordination! I hope I get to go back one day!

If you want to experience something different than the all inclusive hotels around, Casa Iguana is the right place. You wake up to the sound of exotic birds and fresh air. The beach is a 10 min walk where you can find a lot of local restaurants and businesses offering entertainment rides to the jungle, waterfalls, snorkeling, beautiful beaches. The Zoo is a must see and it's a 10 min walk away from the hotel. There are few local mini markets that you can find everything that you need from snacks, beverages, suntan lotion, fresh fruits, alcohol etc. The city is small but have few must visit restaurants with breathtaking views and few up the street with very authentic vibe. At night you can find a little taco stand with delicious food. The local children are just playing on the street and greeting all the visitors. If you like tequila Mismaloya has 3 tequila tasting shops that open at 7 am. Hotel Casa Iguana in Mismaloya is definitely a different experience, an old gem hidden in the jungle. Good people, plenty of places to visit and experience the authentic Mexico. The busy night life of Puerto Vallarta is 25 min away with a bus ride for 10 pesos or 200 pesos via taxi. Don't forget your mosquito repellent for at night and early mornings :) We stayed there for 4 nights and will be back soon!

The activity staff kept the energy going at the family pool. We also enjoyed the spa. We were not thrilled with the food. I thought breakfast and lunch were fine, both meals had attentive service and the food was okay. Dinner in the à la carte restaurants is where things really fell apart. The restaurants were so short staffed I felt bad for the servers, they were in the weeds every night. It seemed like the hostess had to help on the floor so guests would wait at the hostess stand outside for 5-10 minutes before being acknowledged. Once seated it was a good 10 minutes before being acknowledged by a server and getting water or a drink order. One night friends we met at the pool invited us to join their table & the server got annoyed with us. Overall, the accommodations for the all inclusive is a decent value. I would say if you want to stay here, just avoid the à la carte dinner options and check out a local restaurant.

We had most of our meals at buffet La Fuenta, and we always found something tasty to eat for adults and our toddler, like personal omelets for breakfast, tacos, fruits, milk, etc. Sometimes they had different themes for the food so there is some variety. Our favorite specialty restaurant was Los Arcos, the steak house, and the least favorite was Capri, the Italian. The resort offers evening shows at the theater that were fun to watch, activities for kids and adults during the day, pool with pool bars, access to the sandy beach (not the calmest or the cleanest but the sand was a lot of fun for our toddler and I saw two large stingrays swimming by) and you can borrow kayaks if you like to go from one side to the other of the beach. Staff and service were excellent, they helped us have a great time and take care of our toddler. The drinks are on the light side though, I was always with a cocktail in my hands and I didn't even get tipsy, and my tolerance isn't that high lol. Oh and bring some dollars for tips.
