Costco was our first stop after landing in PV and it came in clutch for our 5 night stay! Outside of a small variety of goods, this Costco featured all the standard items we were accustomed to back in the US. We swung by and ended up with a cart full of stuff that I swear would have cost us $600+ back home, but somehow only ran us $387 here. Was wild...and impressive! We were able to stock up on all the things from meats, eggs, tortillas, snacks, drinks, cups, etc...only thing we were a tad disappointed in was the liquor selection and the fact that they did not have any spray sun block. This place was busy, even for a Thursday morning. Locals and tourists alike, but they kept the lines moving! Costco is the spot. No major complaints. Great location for us, stellar store and trip! read more

Costco in PV was great! Similar to the states, but with some Mexico only deli and food items (like a cooler full of chocoflan). Yum. It was clean, prices were good, service was friendly, our cards worked just like in the States, and we picked up some snacks and many in our group ate lunch at the Costco deli. Definitely recommend. read more

Had the best time here! We took an Uber from the cruise port and went shopping here. It was so much fun. They have an outstanding selection of tequila and some of my favorite Mexican wines - LA chetto- and the biggest lobster I've ever seen. I also found a lot of delicious treats I've never seen in the us. Great values! Service was fast and it's exactly like Costco in California so it's easy to navigate. read more

All of the above. Staff tried their best to answer my questions i had in English. Very polite staff .

Really only writing this review to warn people that currently during this pandemic they allow 1 person per membership in the store at a time. We understand but you may not want to bring your whole gang to the store as everyone else will need to wait outside. Hopefully this review will soon become obsolete and things will improve. read more

Costco is such a comfort. It's the same anywhere you go. Yes the fresh food and other items may vary from country to country, but the core is the same. At this Costco they sample booze so I call that a win. Memberships in Mexico are about half what they are in the US so that is also awesome and you can use your membership card at any of the stores in North America! read more

Very good selections and same ease of set up. Good court was a hot mess though. Some Very good finds. read more

Curious to see if there's anything unique at this Costco compares to the ones in the States, and especially wanted to see the offerings at the food court. Very excited to get the mango smoothie here. We also got the sliced jamón serrano that we don't see at home. Prices are pretty comparable to the States, but seems like the clothes are a bit higher in price. Surprised to see that they carried produce from the States, like lemons. The only items seems just a tad cheaper is the Mexican papaya from Mexico. read more

Oh it was a nice day at this Costco in Puerto Vallarta escaping the humidity into an air condition building. So many items to look at and of course ya gotta stop at all the food demo / samples AKA: COSTCO BUFFET. So many samples....mmmmm What was interesting is the food court which has several different types of foods not in the USA / California Costco's. On the menu was a little touch of Italian.... lasagna and also strudel. Also the hot dogs didn't have relish they had jalapenos on them. read more

I love Costco in the states so I was delighted to find one in Puerto Vallarta. I'm not alone you can find expats, tourist & locals stocking up daily. read more

If you are staying at a condo with a kitchen or have a kitchen in your room it is definitely worth a visit to stock up for cooking. They have most all the Kirkland branded items you find in US and CA Costcos. Meat selection is great, fruit and veggies too. Greek yogurt (Fage and Kirkland). Booze. Beach chairs. We walked here from the Romantic Zone and it was about 4.5 miles. Then bussed back with our groceries. Bring a backpack and reusable grocery bags. read more

It's Costco, what more needs to be said? Tequila is cheaper here than anywhere I found in Puerto Vallarta. We purchased pineapple juice, mango juice, and tequila. Mexico is not as cheap as it once was. I got tired of buying $18 margaritas. read more

If you're ever in the PV area and in need of the Costco mega warehouse experience, this Costco has you covered. We had a small wedding in Sayulita recently and were having difficulty finding USDA choice quality steaks. When we discovered that PV had a Costco, we explicitly flew down early to check it out and make sure they had the steaks we wanted, in a sufficient quantity. Not only did they have plenty of rib eyes, that were among the best quality meat we could find in Mexico; but their wine and booze selection was a nice departure from what you find at the other local liquor stores. read more

A-List. If you are a snow bird or have a large family to feed, this is one place you should check out. Similar to the Costco branding in Canada and US. You'll notice some products are similar to what you would get back home. Pricing is varied with some products being a very good deal relative to other stores in the area. You will also find a fast food kiosk, ATMs and public washrooms available for use. The checkout procedure was familiar and they do take CREDIT CARDS. Taxi cabs are readily available outside and Uber will pick up in front of the entrance with no problems. It would be a good idea to bring cloth bags and/or a cooler bag to make the journey home a bit more pleasant than a cardboard box. read more

As of June 22nd, I was told they no longer stock cat litter, sliced roast beef, sliced corned beef and the sliced turkey they switched to is sh*t, AWFUL. read more

We stopped by just to see what they had since your Costco US card works here. It's pretty much the same as California's, except the party plates had more variety. They had three different strengths of Retin-A's without prescription, which is great. It's about 80 pesos from Hotel Rosita at the northern end of the Malecon. read more

This Costco in Purto Vallarta has a Very good selection. reminds me of home, which is great when in a foreign country and looking for products you are familiar with. Great pricing and great produce and meats. This will be a staple for when we return each year. read more

I am disappointed that the Costco food court no longer sells Italian Pizza. It was awesome pizza and their Pepperoni Pizza is very average at best. read more

Workers need to be mindful of kids one of the lady workers cleaning the floor with the machine almost hit my child even do she saw her standing there other costumers notice and also were very upset about the fact that she didn't even apologize for her action. Something great I found at this location is the little tiny donuts they have kind of like churros are AMAZING I don't understand why they don't sell them here in USA. read more

I had two bad experiences here (see Cons section below), but I am going to give a balanced review. I have been to this Costco twice - once during May 2020 when the country was on lockdown (could not buy clothes, electronics, etc.) and once in June 2020 after the federal lockdown lifted (could buy everything as usual). Both times between 1-3 p.m. Costco credentials - born and raised in West Seattle. Grew up searching for samples and eating $1.50 hot dogs in the 1st Costco in the world on 4th Ave S in Seattle. I have been to Costcos in over 30 U.S. states in all sections of the country and two in Toronto. Pros of this Costco - 1. General Costco experience so you feel at home (minus the samples because we are in COVID season). 2. This Costco takes COVID seriously with a social distancing line, temperature at the front door, hand sanitizer and wipes at the front door. 3. Solid security team. 4. The bakery section likes to have fun. I did not expect flan and other cakes you do not get in the USA or Canada. 5. Excellent prices for the vegetables. 6. They have enough Mexican products you would not find in the USA to spice things up, but not too much that it no longer feels like Costco. 7. Snack attack - the snacks here are solid. I enjoy the spicy dried piña and different Mexican brand candies. 8. Extremely reasonable food court prices. Two items I have not seen before - some apple desert and a smoothie (they were out so I did not eat at the food court). 9. Ample parking and quick traffic lights. 10. They have guys ready to help you to your car. I am not a fan of this, but for older folks it makes sense. Many retired Americans in PV. Cons - 1. Armed guards - I have been coming to PV with my family since 2002. This is the first year I have experienced PV/Bucerías/Boca de Tomatlán as a single adult (during a global pandemic and recession no less...). I am use to the measures México needs to take to protect people. However, it is a bit jarring to see a guy with a shotgun when you walk in. Or a guard literally driving around the parking lot all the time. I mean dude just park the car stop wasting all that gas. 2. Woman selling candy in the parking lot. She is cool. I get this is México. But I also feel it is unnecessary and unprofessional on Costco´s part to allow that to happen. 3. I have been discriminated against and given poor service on two counts - A. I was asked in Spanish for my membership card. It is a Costco Citi Visa with my picture and membership card on the back. She looked at it and said I was an extranjero. I said, ´Sí, soy de los Estados Unidos.´ She looked confused probably because I am 6 ft 2 in with dark skin and am in my late 20´s (so not old, white and therefore rich in the collective subconscious of Puerto Vallarta basically). Again, I get this country is 82% Roman Catholic and pretty conservative as a whole, but damn. If I straight up called a Mexican (or Chicano/Mexican-American in the USA) a foreigner while I was working a service job anywhere in the USA, I would be labeled racist. That is discrimination. Maybe I would be fired. B. My last visit Miguel was ringing me up. I gave him my Costco card. My bill was over $10,000 P. He asked for my identificación. I was confused. There has never been a single Costco in the world that has asked me for my ID. I told him it was on the back of my credit card/Costco card. He persisted. I was lucky enough to have my American passport on me. I gave it to him. He studied it for two whole minutes. He whispered something to another cashier. I pulled my face mask down because I thought he needed to see my face. He never looked up. He gave my my passport back at an annoying slow speed. Mind you, my Spanish is not the best, but I never spoke English. I always make the effort. I did not bat an eye at the bill and just paid for it. He gave me the receipt. He did not have a bagger to help him. He was extremely slow in loading my cart. I decided to help him out. He stopped at the last 10 items, completely ignored me to help the other woman (not white so I am guessing a local, but again I do not want to join this discrimination train I have been experiencing here), and did not wish me well. Complete back turn. I find this highly disrespectful. And I have experienced this behavior multiple times along the Bahía de Banderas. My white father, grandfather, two white aunts and white cousins have never experienced this before here. 50% of PV´s economy is based on tourism. México has a 94% literacy rate. You mostly get Americans (white Americans) here, but people from all over the world come here. Costco is an American company. I get you all are economically depressed and ravaged by a disease like the rest of the world, but it is no excuse to discriminate. On a positive not, the woman checking my receipt at the exit was very kind. A man offered to help me to my car. No, pero gracias señor. I politely declined. All in all, I recommend you come. read more

I cant keep recommending costco due to the faults at the puerto vallarta Mexico warehouse store. Thursday they called to deliver my sofa and loveseat, saying tomorrow (friday) waited all day, no show, no call, and they dont deliver Saturday or Sunday. Should I wait again all day Monday? Nope, they can call and reschedule. Also the window treatments schedulers never ever called to set appt to measure, went with a local person, do you need my business?? I hope they get it together or I won't be online ordering from costco.com.mx read more

Another great shopping experience at Costco! I found everythign I needed and then some. All neatly organized by section. Friendly and informed help when I needed it and extra help getting to the truck to haul it all back to my condo. Can't wait to return at the end of the month. Still need to shop the grocery section. read more

My final purchases I did not even make as they do not accommodate people who are temporarily disabled. I called ahead of time to confirm a friend was making the purchase. The representative said fine since the products had been identified and we gave all the data over the phone. To be safe I did as I was told in the past and included a current letter of authorization for my friend to use the card for 2 items we urgently needed. He arrives and the lady at the cash register does not allow him to make a purchase. It was closing time so the manager was not available. It is hard sometimes to get a cell phone signal in the store so he went just outside the door to call me. Then, security refused to let him back in even after the promised to stay open the extra few minutes it might take to make the purchase. He arrived on time and was not able to make the purchase. I cancelled the online order I had made because of the urgency and I when I go to reorder there is no delivery window. Their prices have risen and their variety of products has declined so much I only shop there when there is no other alternative. So now I have to pay twice the price to get there. They seriously need to work on their customer service, choose the credit button when a credit card or the debit button when it is a debit card. They need to learn what customer service is and accommodate the needs of the disabled. There needs to be an alternative to Costco here besides Sams read more
