One day we were on a beach recliner, went to grab some food, and upon return our spots were stolen and blamed it on the staff.

All inclusive gives you access to 4 bars, coffee shop, 2 restaurants you need to reserve a spot for and 3 more dining areas that served breakfast and dinners around the clock. also mini food and snack stations around the facility. Friendly, and helpful staff

Bathroom. Some staff not as friendly (while some are great), might be because of the language barrier.

Price. Activities. It is actually fun.

Loud music after 10pm

Pretty much everything. It was our 3rd time and we will return again

The drinks and food could improve. I like the buffet style and how you have different restaurants to choose from but overall the food taste can improve. The alcohol drinks were not so great.

The location was perfect!! The staff is 100/10!! They really pamper you and make you have a great time🩷

The biggest drawback to this resort is the pool area. There are only cabanas and not nearly enough of them. If you don’t get one first thing in the morning and stay there all day, you will not get one at all. I don’t understand why they chose to put cabanas instead of chairs in this small area, it really makes it difficult for everyone to enjoy the pool area the way it should be. :(

The beach was beautiful and we could walk either direction for a long ways. Our granddaughter had a great time at the kids club. The food was decent and there was always something available. The ice cream and snacks in the afternoon were great as was the coffee shop.

Difficult to get a cabana as many were already spoken for.

Everything was great. Food selection was fantastic. Staff were friendly and helpful.

A la carte restaurants very disappointing food was cold and overcooked-nice to look at but tough to eat.

Staff, Activities, pools, drinks and bartenders very knowledgeable, no waiting

I expected the rooms to be a little nicer however, the staff made up for that!

The property was nice with 3 pools, 4 restaurants in beach access.

Would have been nice to have a coffee pot in the room instead of having to go down to the coffee bar. Music sometimes a little too much. Need a few more hours quiet time. Trying to get a sun bed is very hard unless you are an early riser. Not sure about next year as hotel next door is being demolished in July 2025 and being rebuilt so could be noisy.

This place is very nice. Food is not great but more than adequate. Sometimes too salty and potatoes were practically raw. Mash is instant and salty. Saying that you can always find something to eat. Breakfast good. Rooms and beds good. Coffee bar excellent. Staff very nice except the lifeguard who is an idiot. Service very good. Pools heated and kept nice and clean. Ice cream bar and pizza bar a plus. There is a kids club also. Balconies very nice. Very quiet after 11pm when music stops. Great location near a mall. We were on the 4th floor and our maid was lovely.

Bad wine, mold in the bathroom sink, needs new tile on floor and tub, rock hard pillows

Pools, beach Buffett

The rooms were not decorated tastefully and they definitely need upgrades. For a hotel that is ranked five stars you expect closets and drawers with doors, comforters instead of blankets to cover the beds and to have USB outlet, slippers, robes. The bathroom floor, counter and bath tub were old and rusty. The room was not very clean upon our arrival. there were hair band left from previous guests on the counter, the floor was not well cleaned. there was sand on the floor. The rooms did not even meet a four start standard. The food was not the best according to my experience but descent. The pools were too small for the number of people .

The staff were nice and helpful and the service was good. It was close to the city center and old town There were beautiful scenes around the ground and lobby with plenty of restaurants and bars on site. Everything was conveniently located in the resort. The beach was nice .

You have to book dinners in advance and bit far from main area, but still really enjoyed it. Also not much going on late at night and less food options, but still good.

Really great staff and different food options.

Wish we were notified about barbecue and board about activities could show what the next day’s activities

Very nice and helpful staff. Food was good barbecues were excellent. Good beach

Stayed in February 2025

Food was very repetitive especially breakfast and lunch. Rooms are very old and not updated. Our toilet kept backing up.

Staff very friendly, great service

Stayed in January 2025

There are not enough chairs at the pool or at the beach unless you wake up at 7am and are willing to stay until 9am because they will remove your belongings. People would leave their stuff for hours on end at the pool and beach. I would not return there with my family and I'm glad we were only there for 2 nights because there really isn't much happening.

I have nothing bad to say about the hotel apart that there is not much to do. Not really family oriented, it's very small, mostly older aged couple and very few families. Staff was kind and helpful, restaurants were alright and rooms comfortable. Drinks were delicious.

Having to book in the morning for the 2 bookable restaurants - when only staying 1 night meant they were booked by morning. Would be good to offer some sort of online booking for this vs calling desk from room.

Clean modern and well operating resort hotel. Room was large and fully equipped, staff friendly and proactive with dinner and drinks service. Food in the small lunch buffet was less impressive than the larger beachfront restaurant. Pool and lounging facilities lovely, all round a great place & great price for all inc.

Dirty pools, lack of interaction from activity team. Also lots of dishes at buffet not kept hot.

The staff, the cleanliness, loved the yoga and sound bath.

The food was not as good as it was in May. Saying that, there was always something you could find to eat. Soups very bland. Very hard to get a sunbed. Need to be there right at eight , so for me this is not a vacation where you can sleep in, if you want a sunbed. The Krystal hotel down the road will toss towels on the bed if nobody has been there for 30 minutes. That way it stops people putting their towels down and leaving for the rest of the day. The pillows are abit hard. Suggest you bring your own. No coffee pots in room. I would bring my own for a long stay.

Have stayed here before. Coffee bar and staff very good. Rooms comfortable. Beds good. Service excellent. My family had a good time. My 7 year old granddaughter learned to swim in the pool. Pools are heated and there is an adult only pool. Location is not far from PV main town. Internet is very good. Big mall a very short walk away.

The two a la cart restaurants filled up very quickly and the booking process was unclear at first.

First the activities staff was so fun and friendly, Issac’s aquasize class was hilarious! -every single day! The food was delicious and it was everywhere! Banana bread with lattes at the coffee bar, ice cream cones and fresh fruit at the ice cream bar and hot pizzas, mini burgers or fish tacos if you felt like a snack between meals! The desserts were amazing! The music was wonderful but not overpowering, a single musician playing a string instrument beautifully to accompany yoga or morning coffee, subdued classical or jazz in afternoons and music that could be danced to in the evening! So fun! There were a lot of full beds and chairs on the beach and by the pools, and yes many were reserved for the day but you could always find something!

The hotel needs a refresh in some facilities but all okay in general. Check in is very slow, Reception still do all in paper, no Technology at all.

We had a fantastic time at this hotel. The staff were definitely the highlight—most of them were amazing, incredibly caring, and always ready to assist. The waitstaff at the pools and beach, the bodyguard, and the team at the restaurant all contributed to making our experience even more enjoyable. A special thanks to Hector Garcia and Paul at Restaurant La Palma, as well as the wonderful bodyguard who took great care of the kids and ensured everything ran smoothly.

Difficult to get out door seating sometimes.

Staying at Friendly Fun Vallarta was incredible! The staff were all so friendly and helpful, our family were so well taken care of, the food was incredible, there was always something to do and they constantly surprised me with various live performers that came.

The pillow was too high. They could have thinner pillows.

It’s a small resort but the resources are great. The employees are always happy and helpful. The facilities are very clean!! We loved the fact that we arrived earlier and they allowed us to check in without extra fees. The food was ok. The beach is good. They have hot tubs in different parts of the resort. They have an adults only pool. We like the spa too with a Jacuzzi, a sauna and a steam room that was a plus. We had a great time there!!

Hard thick pillows. We asked to change but they just brought us the same. We all had sore stiff necks but the beach massages helped with that

Great location between the marina and Centro. Clean, nice staff, food variety was good
