The 10 best hotels in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

August 5, 2022 Weston Hennigan

Strolling, shopping, and sipping tequila along the Malecon boardwalk of Puerto Vallarta is the best way to kick off your vacation. Then hit the cobblestone streets of Old Vallarta to browse the flea market for handmade crafts. The calm, warm waters of the Bay of Banderas make for excellent diving, or you can just watch artists sculpt spectacular creations in the sand. The cluster of fine art galleries in El Centro are perfect spots to hit on a self-guided art tour.

We stayed for a week at the Sheraton Buganvilias, partially for work, mostly for family fun! Our kids went to bed exhausted every night from swimming, playing on the beach, more swimming, and fantastic food and drinks, we loved every minute! Our breakfast waiter, Juanito-Marcos took exceptional care of us each morning, we intentionally would request him each morning because he goes above and beyond, be sure you sit with Juan for breakfast or lunch and he’ll take fantastic care of you! We’ll for sure be back for this work event annually and plan to make more vacations out of it as well. When we arrived we’d had our room upgraded to an ocean front suite, the space was comfortable and clean and well stocked for our family. The showers were a hit for our kids, spacious and overhead rain shower, fantastic. Our rooms were tended to each day, we were given fresh towels and soap and our beds made. The staff around the resort were wonderful and helpful. We know a bit of Spanish, enough to get by well, but almost everyone here speaks English as well to some degree, which was helpful for longer conversations. Overall we had an incredible week here, and cannot wait to plan our next trip back!

Hotel Mousai

Hotel Mousai is the first and only AAA Five Diamond rated resort in Puerto Vallarta and the state of Jalisco, where fresh flirtatious aesthetics and cutting-edge comfort will inspire you to live sensationally at the beach.

Basically traveled to stay at a construction site

Reviewed By ellafairon

I was overall pretty disappointed with our stay at hotel Mousai. I came in with very high expectations, I checked their reviews on every platform so for the price I was expecting a five star resort & experience. The check in process was fast and easy everyone was relatively friendly our Butler Eduarto showed us to our room he was very knowledgeable and helpful. Our stay took a sharp turn for the worst when the first full day of our stay construction in the room right next to us began at 9 AM and went till 5 PM. I am talking about chainsaws and hammering literally every minute between that time period. I decided to not make it a big deal the first day and we spent our entire day on the rooftop pool which was awesome. However, the next two days it was raining so we wanted to spend some relaxing time on our balcony in our Jacuzzi which was quite literally impossible with a jackhammer and chainsaw going off in the room next to us so I decided to get in contact with the hotel supervisor Orlando. He was extremely rude and unhelpful… He also lied to me about what was to be done about our bill. What really bothered me was that he acted like I was inconveniencing them… I paid 700+ dollars a night for premium service and the ultra room. I had to bargain and beg for something to be done until he finally said that he would erase the balance that we had which wasn’t even a lot was under $200 and he pointed out that he would have the Wagu removed from her Roshi that we had which may be equaled out to $20. After not really getting anywhere… I basically just had to agree to this not sufficing accommodation. Not to mention it was my birthday. I felt like after that everyone at the front desk was pretty rude to us. Treating us like we were crazy. The only reason I’m giving two stars is because the men at the rooftop were amazing and very helpful and attentive the drinks were great on the rooftop all of the stuff on the rooftop deserves a five star review they were truly amazing. But overall that alone wasn’t enough to make our stay feel worth it. When you travel you travel for relaxation and peace of mind if I wanted to stay on a construction site I would’ve just went to LA. So for anyone reading this review just know that when you book with hotel Messiah there’s a 50-50 chance that you are going to be in a room right next to construction and that management will do literally nothing about it. I would definitely not pay extra for any type of premium service it is absolutely not worth it.

Beautiful hotel...

Reviewed By Ynlvr

Beautiful hotel with less than 200 rooms. Perfect size for tranquility after enjoying the lucky DJ at the pool. Well appointed and spacious rooms with a modern appeal. GREAT shower!!! Plenty of outlets and USB ports throughout the room. Very good internet service. Excellent housekeeping staff service. Lovely pool area. Good bar staff. Great views from the rooftop and our private balcony. This is a perfect do it yourself hotel. Below standard service/hospitality elsewhere. I had low service standards after visiting for lunch in the restaurant/bar on lobby level where I waited for service before and after ordering. Ordered room service often but not available for breakfast. One evening, I was handed my uncovered room service order at the door, without utensils. Preparing for departure, I asked for a Covid test appointment. Nothing offered, not even a referral for a testing facility to come to the hotel or you to them. The response was “there is a clinic across the street.” Stepped outside and there were trees across the street. We took a taxi and went to three locations before finding one to administer the test. I had our results before returning to the hotel with no assistance from the staff. With all of the great amenities and esthetics, the service was a disappointment.
