This hotel has my utmost respect. We were staying here when the cartel violence in Puerto Vallarta…read morestarted and we were told to shelter in place. This hotel took care of everyone. The workers that couldn't go home were housed. The guests, like me, that were checking out were allowed to book another night, even though they were in a sold out status. The hotel mgmt took care of all of us in such a beautifully kind manner which allowed us to find some safety while the town was burning due to the car fires. The property is right on beach, has a family pool and adult swim area with hot tubs in both areas. We booked a hotel room that had a small pool access from the patio. They have 2 swim up bars, a children's play area, spa and an excellent workout room. I was told they will be renovating the hotel this summer 2026, which is needed in some areas, such as the spa. It was a very enjoyable visit other than the cartel action and I would stay here again if I come back to Puerto Vallarta.

Food: Several excellent restaurants but Buffett pricey, instead a 15 min walk to marina area for much more reasonable food. Great ice cream in lobby, opened til 11:00 pm too !

The rooms were Tuscan style architecture, which didn't get me too excited, but they were clean, and the bed was cozy and comfortable! The king bed room is quite large, and we got a room on the 5th floor with one of the best ocean view possible!! The beach and views were nothing short of amazeballs, but I recommend going to a different beach if u want to wade in the water and do shoreline body surfing. The beach has too many rocks that could slice you up pretty badly! The hotel doesn't have self serve parking, so you are required to valet your car. The hotel is very close to many ships and restaurants, so you don't really need a car if you don't plan on exploring outside of the main city limits of Puerto Vallarta. Hotel staff are all very pleasant and accommodating and do their very best to ensure you have a wonderfully pleasant stay!!

Luxurious gem! We were 3 couples total, everyone was super impressed with their rooms,…read moreaccommodations and the food. We did not have to leave the resort because it was meant to be a 100% relaxation and disconnect good time. We stayed in the North tower. This all inclusive resort has beautiful pools and friendly staff. For me, the best of all was our large room with a wrap around balcony on the 8th floor with a hot tub, hammock and lounge chairs. You can connect via Bluetooth to the multiple ceiling speakers in the room and the balcony. This can definitely be a honeymoon vacation. I recommend it.

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta for a wedding, and since…read morethe accommodations were already chosen for us, I didn't read any reviews beforehand. But after seeing some of the mixed feedback now, I was honestly surprised. It seems like this place can be very hit or miss. Thankfully for us, it was definitely a hit. We were there for three nights, and overall had a great experience. Our main complaint would be the food, which we found to be mediocre overall, though there were definitely a couple of standouts. Next time, I'd skip the buffet except for the freshly made stations, which were the only part consistently worth it. We really enjoyed the teppanyaki at Tamari, and the fish and shrimp tacos from Blaze were so good we had them twice during our stay. On the other hand, dinner at Blaze was unremarkable and we were disappointed with the pizza and zeppole from Melanzane, though we didn't get to try anything else there. I do wish we had stayed an extra night or two to explore more of the dining options, though based on what we experienced, we may not have missed out on too much. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. Special shoutout to Rafael at the club lounge bar and Lizbeth at reception - both were a pleasure and made our stay even more enjoyable. I was also surprised by the size of the gym and the variety of equipment. I made sure to get at least one workout in and really appreciated the incredible ocean views while doing so. We visited in February and never felt like the resort was overcrowded. In fact, some restaurants seemed surprisingly empty at times. One thing worth noting: they have pickleball courts and a basketball court, which we didn't see advertised anywhere. We would've packed our pickleball gear had we known, but fortunately they provide equipment you can borrow. They also offer activities throughout the day - we mostly enjoyed the evening bar shows. I'd definitely recommend downloading their app to keep track of the schedule and access other helpful hotel information like menus. Overall, this was a very enjoyable stay and a strong positive experience for us. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because the dining experience didn't quite match the rest of the resort. While the food could be more consistent, the friendly staff, beautiful setting, amenities, and relaxed atmosphere made it a memorable stay.

We spent most of our time at the adult pool which was a lovely location with an infinity pool, hot tub, and drink service. There was also a great view of the beach, which seemed very private. The atmosphere in general was relatively relaxed and upscale, and not too many kids, but maybe it was off season. Overall, would certainly go again!

Their hotel and resort were also safe, beautiful, well maintained, and easily accessible by Uber, taxis, and other transport. I was told by a local driver that this location is considered the "Beverly Hills" of Puerto Vallarta, so prices were accordingly higher than in some other areas in town. Despite the price tag, I felt that the service we received was worth every dollar. I loved the all-inclusive dining and bar, and really appreciated the option of add-on services like massages, beauty salon, etc...not to mention the almost-private beach, two pools, and a hot tub!

Every detail of the property is thoughtfully curated, creating an atmosphere that is both luxurious, warm and welcoming. The service was exceptional. Every staff member went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, consistently checking in and anticipating our needs with genuine warmth and professionalism. Transportation arrangements were seamless and made exploring the area effortless. The food was incredible, and the views were simply breathtaking. The decor throughout the property is stunning, with beautiful artwork, lush plants, and unique design touches around every corner. Every nook and cranny offered something special to discover. The hotel was impeccably clean, and the custom touches made our stay even more memorable--nightly chocolates, filtered water in the rooms, and countless thoughtful details that elevated the entire experience. Hacienda San Angel is more than just a boutique hotel; it is a destination in itself. If you're looking for a romantic, elegant, and unforgettable stay in Puerto Vallarta, this is truly a special place.

We had an amazing time at the Westin. We were a little worried about the construction, but honestly…read moreit wasn't too bad- sound was only during the day, and pool areas were not impacted. I think the worst part was that the gym area was moved halfway outside and some of the machines I had seen in pictures weren't available. Pros: * Staff is incredible. From the front desk, to Antonio on the beach (great guy), the breakfast staff (shout out to the auntie making waffles and omelettes like a machine), everyone was very friendly, helpful, and made us feel comfortable and welcome. The one exception was the towel lady who was a bit brusque- but that stood out because everyone else was so great. * Breakfast was solid, with varieties of bread, fruit, omelettes/waffle station, bacon, eggs, sausage, potatoes, cereal bar, green and fresh orange juice every day. We ate there every morning and didn't get too bored. Cons: * Walls seemed pretty thin. I could hear other people using their key cards (just the clicking sound) late at night when I was in my room, and sound of other TVs and chatter in the hall. The people above us seemed to be dragging furniture around frequently which was also noisy. * The property as a whole is pretty dated and needs some renovation. We checked out the Marriott which had nicer pools (infinity pools) and seems much less run down. They also have a nice looking spa and a much larger fitness center (available for Westin guests while the construction is happening). The room seemed somewhat dated, and particularly the bathrooms could use a refresh. * The construction was a minor annoyance- a couple restaurants on site were closed.

At the pool, there is no relaxing, all you can hear is the loud construction and service was a bit hard to come by. All the restaurants are incredible. We got coffee, ice cream, ate at the Taco place, the pool, the breakfast buffet and the hamburger place. Every place had incredible offerings. I added all the menus in photos! I recommend eating off the ala carte menu for breakfast, it's half the price and the potions are great. The room was nice but not updated. We appreciated the extra seating and table. The added crib wasn't clean, once we wiped it down, it was a big difference. We are glad we stayed on points, not sure it is worth it to pay while during construction. I heard it's becoming all inclusive in 2026, it will be well worth it for that type of business once construction is done. 15 minutes walk to Marina where there is a Thursday Market.

I was recently here for a president's club trip and it was beyond phenomenal. Special shout out to our concierge Dulce! I thought I lost my wedding ring and wedding band and she was on top of it! The food is phenomenal. The pool is so big and a perfect temperature. The sheets felt like butter and the pillows were so comfortable. In your room, not only do you have a mini bar but there's an entire drawer full of snacks and they leave you goodies that turned down each night. The housekeeping staff always did an amazing job and paid attention to detail. The food at this resort is absolutely incredible! We ate at Piaf, Luca, the pool bar and ordered room service- I never once had a bad meal. 10 out of 10 across the board.

This was, without question, one of the best dining experiences we've had at Hilton Vallarta Riviera. We returned again tonight, and once again the service and quality were absolutely exceptional. Edgar (Captain), Abraham (our server), and Isaura at the front delivered an outstanding level of professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. Everything was handled seamlessly, and they made our evening feel very special. The food was excellent from start to finish--the shrimp tempura, satay selections, sea bass, desserts, and drinks were all consistently high quality. This team truly operates at a five-diamond standard. No confusion, no unnecessary upselling--just genuine hospitality and a focus on delivering a great guest experience. You should be very proud of this team. They represent exactly what hospitality should look like. Thank you again for everything. We truly appreciate it and look forward to returning.

I love love love puerto Vallarta. Such a neat town, especially the romantic zone…read more This hotel is a little outside of there but just a quick Uber drive. The hotel was mostly clean and the staff was super friendly. It helped being a diamond member with Hilton. The pool was never too busy. The ocean was a little dirty and smelly. But the all inclusive was a little disappointing. We ended up going into town to eat 90% of our meals. It all tastes pretty cruise ship like even though we were in paradise in Mexico. I would suggest just booking a cheap hotel in the romantic zone and skip this place. Especially if you have any standard with food. We found it to be pretty disappointing.
