Top Playa Palmares Hotel Reviews

Barceló Puerto Vallarta - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"If you are looking for fun in a beautiful, tranquil spot right on the ocean, stay at Barcelo! The amenities are great and the staff is superb! The Barcelo Life crew made the afternoon fun with games and activities in the pool. The wait staff was so kind. And the hotel front desk staff was very helpful! We loved the location away from the main area of Puerto Vallarta, but close enough to take a quick taxi ride in if we wanted. But, we actually didn’t want to leave the resort! There were lots of pools (4 total), a great beach front, and wonderful dining options. Just outside the property are a few little shops (pharmacy, oxxo, etc) in case you need anything. It was so peaceful but also a ton of fun for our whole family (tween/teen kids). I loved the shows in the evening and music at the bar. It was the perfect blend of vacation fun and vacation relaxation! Definitely was family friend - we met lots of couples as well as families staying here. It was awesome!"

Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta - All-inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the resort, polite service. My only complaint is that they do have to get a handle on the chair saving at the pools. We gave up as I wasn’t willing to wake up at 5am and set down stuff. Plus I find it rude."

Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are beautiful wow."

Luxury Villa on the Best Swimming Beach in Puerto Vallarta w/ Full Staff & Pool

10/10 Excellent

"You can not a better vacation house. This is the second time our large family of 19 stayed at the house. You can not beat the pool on the beautiful beach. The staff are absolutely amazing. They take care of you- it’s a true vacation. Two meals a day, no dish duty, a pitchers of margaritas brought to the pool side for the adults and pins colada for the kids. House has plenty of room and all the walls are thick so you don’t hear every noise. They help help arrange everything you need from transfers, in house massages, and excursions. It is just magical. Can’t wait to go back again. We also had a medical emergency with a family member when we were there. The staff helped get the ambulance and even rode with us to help translate. They truly take care of you and will be forever grateful to them."

Heated Pool, Chef, Barman & Full Staff (Sleeps 30)

10/10 Excellent

"This place is absolutely amazing! I came here with 10 friends for my bachelorette party and it was the perfect villa. Plenty of room for all of us. The pool is perfect and the views are unbeatable! The staff was immediately welcoming and so helpful every step of the way. They truly made the trip more magical! Can’t wait to come back"

Oceanfront Condo On The Beach With Panoramic Views

"The property, the beach, and the location were fantastic! It’s very easy to get an Uber or a taxi to get into town."

Costa Sur All Inclusive Classico Collection by Sonesta

10/10 Excellent

"We love this hotel and have stayed here three times. We deeply regret their decision to become an all inclusive this Spring. Puerto Vallarta is a great place to go out to eat and enjoy the town, we are not interested in staying in the hotel all the time or paying for food we wont eat. I hope they reconsider this decision, we would return if they did."

Beautiful Spanish Style Villa with Ocean View,100 steps from the Beach

Casa de Rada --- Beach / Ocean Front Penthouse Condo on the best beach

10/10 Excellent

"Ken was an amazing host with quick responses. The location was great for us as we were travelling with an elderly Father and the quieter pace of Play Gemelas was much preferred with options to go into town. Would highly recommend this place. Seeing whales every morning and the odd manta a sting ray from the balcony was a huge plus. Thanks for a great Christmas vacation! "
