Hilton Vallarta Riviera All-Inclusive Resort, Puerto Vallarta

10/10 Excellent

"We wanted to use the massage services, but the prices were actually much higher than some of the best spas in the U.S., which is why we decided not to use them. We did use the cabana service, but we did not like that they were all covered with bird droppings and were not cleaned even once during the entire week."

"All the staff was amazing, Noe at the roof this attitude and attention to detail as impeccable. Room’s breathing taking with incredible views. Alejandro at front desk supervising that checkin was fast, all the concierge staff. We will be back soon. "

Hotel Mousai Puerto Vallarta Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful resort with great hospitality. Room service was prompt and professional. Our dining experiences at many of the restaurants were top notch. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. My only critique is there I noticed considerable trash on the beach. Nothing large and noticeable but if you pay attention there was a lot of small pieces of trash debris throughout the sand. Small pieces of plastic, bottle caps, etc. I did not choose this resort for the beach as it is a little rocky in general. Everything else about this resort is 5 stars! I would highly recommend hotel Mousai to anyone! "
