I'll start with the Cons: *As soon as we checked in, a staff member tried to get us to attend a time-share presentation in order for us to receive a "Gold Card." The gold card would get us discounts and benefits on snorkeling and other touristy events. Fortunately, PV is filled with salesmen who offer cheaper tickets without timeshare presentations.... more

We took our family of 6, including 3 teenagers, to Villa del Palmar June 15-22nd . For our first time in Puerto Vallarta, we wanted to stay in town to have easy access to activities, restaurants etc. We had the same problem with check-in I'd read in other postings...they didn't have a two-bedroom available, wanted to put us in the... more

After reading some of the reviews here I was a bit nervous about staying at VDP. However, a friends had said it was great, so I was hoping for the best and wasn't disappointed. I took note of tips from other reviewers and here are some good tips and notes that will help ensure that you have a good stay... more

Got three bedroom ocean front suite. Very nice room and view. House keeping kept room in order daily. Had one issue one second to last date. Hotel advised that we had to vacate room as they had reserved it for someone else. The hotel was quite rude about it all and forced us to move to one bedroom suite far... more

As a timeshare owner in Cabo San Lucas, I booked my stay in Puerto Vallarta expecting a spectacular stay. Upon arrival, I found my 1 bedroom room in need of a makeover. The smell of sewage often filled the room even with the air conditioner on. The choice of on site restaurants was limited as well. I pay annual maintenance... more

Just got back from VDP stayed a week from the 17th to the 24th, got lucky to get a direct flight out of NWK which was nice so got in early on Sat. which I think worked in our favor to avoid some of the horror stories alot of people have had on here. Also we traded a time share... more

We chose Villa Del Palmar with some trepidation, after reading many of the reviews. I've decided that there are more people writing reviews if they've had a bad experience! Our experience was very good. The hotel itself was very nice. We DID experience a problem at check in; the rooms we had reserved supposedly did not exist (large studio with... more

Arrived at hotel having booked it for 5 people in Dec 07. Immediately were told that there was a problem with our reservation. Did accommodate us to an acceptable arrangement however is frustrating to have travelled a distance and have to deal with an other than smoothe arrival. Otherwise, hotel very clean, pleasant staff, food was good and hotel close... more

My boyfriend and I went to Villa del Palmar for a romantic getaway (on a budget) and were pleasantly surprised. We orignally booked a king studio, but they gave us a complimentary upgrade to a one bedroom king, which wound up being a loft with a balcony. The room was absolutely gorgeous with a cast iron railing heading upstairs and... more

This is the second time we've stayed at Villa del Palmar. There has been some maintenance and improvements since four years ago. The pool was very clean and the grounds are kept in excellent shape. Our one bedroom room was very nice though the beds are hard. We always take some of the downs like the hard bed with acceptance... more
