Ours was a romantic, very amazing stay at the Plaza Pelicanos, as we chose to leave the kids home during this vacation. We decided to opt out of the all inclusive as it was our intention to visit more of Puerto Vallarta and Sayulita than the pool and bar at the hotel. However, we did enjoy a few very nice... more

Date: April 19 – May 2, 2008 Reviewer: Richard P. (65), Deborah H. (58) This was our third vacation at Plaza Pelicanos, joining our friends Richard and Karol from California who have been going there for roughly 15 years. We have become very comfortable with the accommodating staff at this resort. We stayed in the newer section rebuilt about 4... more

We just returned from a 7 night stay at Plaza Pelicanos, Grand Section (2), and I have to say I was overall pretty pleased! I had read some of the reviews on tripadvisor and travelocity and I was preparing myself for something a lot worse than what we got! To put it into perspective, we are two mid-20 year olds... more

My family and I had just returned from a vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We were at this hotel because we had a package through our timeshare company. The hotel is ok if you are not spending the whole time on it. We stayed at Section II of the hotel. The only complain I had is that the room smell... more

We stayed here 6/10-6/17 th and loved it the staff was super friendly and very helpful. We paid extra for the grand section and the black bracelets. Our rooms were kept in excellent condition. The food was great specially at the Tamayo international restaurant. We tipped our waiters and our bartenders and had our own cups because the ones served... more

When I first got to the hotel, I was not blown away. It looks okay from the outside, but it doesn't look like a luxury hotel, that's for sure. Inside the resort it's fairly nice. To make this review easier I'll just seperate everything into categories. Rooms>>> We stayed in the brand new timeshare building. It was beautiful! Nice,... more

This was mine and my husband’s first trip to Puerto Vallarta. We have nothing but good things to say about the city, restaurants, cab drivers and the natives. The hotel however was a total bust. We read the reviews before we took our vacation and decided to keep an open mind since the reviews were so mixed. Our first and... more

Walking into Pelicanos there were police all over our hotel and no one would tell us why. They were there our whole stay...Right when we got there it took about an hour to check in because the keys would not work in our room so we were walking up and down there stairs with all our luggage until we got... more

We were in a shell explorer program which allowed us to try a few of the shell resorts out. We were deciding between going to Hawaii again or staying here in Puerto Villarta. We kind of wish we had gone to Hawaii instead. This Shell resort did not measure up to the other locations we have seen at all. First... more
