As soon as we entered the property we felt safe and so Welcomed by every staff member. First timers to Mexico and the experience here was unforgettable. Your building is beautiful even reading other peoples comments about how outdated or dirty, it was, we found it was not and just loved the culture the rooms were perfect for our stay, the balcony was nice to hang out on. All the staff from bar staff, dinning staff, beach set up guys, door bell and front desk and the little store inside the hotel, all wonderful people. Be aware! You’ll be treated so kindly every morning ! Now to convince my husband to move here lol.

I stayed on the 4th floor, in a corner room and the view was great. I had a view of the ocean and the swimming pool. Perfect! There was a fridge in my room that made a very loud whooshing noise all day and night. I had to turn on my white noise monitor really loud. The beach was so closed that the sound of the waves crashing on the large boulders woke me up at times. The beach/lagoon was painful to walk on without water shoes. I wish I would have brought water shoes and snorkel stuff. They didn’t have enough staff so the restaurant and cafe took a long time to order, receive food and for the check. The menu was very limited. Definitely go old town for dinner and mixed drinks.

The hotel was nice in general close to the ocean. I was raving about how nice and friendly the staff was and would come back to the same hotel again. But the last night of the stay we went in to the restaurant as usual. We sign the bill and left. When we check out the restaurant bill was not the same. One of the staff charge us 100 peso in tips. I had to explain the bills is wrong so many times, I just gave up and pay the total of the stay. It wasn’t the 100 peso It was the integrity I would not care less. I would have said I would come back, but I’ll try other hotel in the area next time.

We had a wonderful stay at Costa Sur Resort in Puerto Vallarta. Pros: • Beautiful waterfront location with easy beach access. • Safe, with great activities, pools, and poolside bar service. • Friendly front desk and poolside staff. • Convenient bus stop right in front of the resort. Cons: • Limited walkable roads and no nearby shopping or dining options. • Room service was a bit slow, and there was a leaking water pipe under the sink. • No conditioner was provided throughout our stay, though shampoo and soap were. • Two bottles of water and coffee were provided on the first day; after that, they had to be purchased. • Bath and pool towels had an unpleasant odor, similar to feet, and could benefit from more thorough laundering with deodorizing agents. • The property is located near a main road, which can be somewhat noisy at night. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and we hope the resort addresses these minor issues in the future.

When I first booked this hotel, I was on the impression that it was an all inclusive resort, that was one of the main reasons we made the reservations there. When it was time to check in, we were told otherwise. When we got our room, our room was really dirty, dust everywhere, the curtains were extremely dirty and stained and the bathroom was disgusting. We were there to celebrate our honeymoon and seeing that as our first impression left us with a bad feeling about the resort. We had to complain multiple times in order to get a new room. We heard from multiple people at the resort that they also had a bad experience checking in or having the impression of an all inclusive resort when they did the booking as well. The staff at the restaurant, bar and cleaning maids were really nice and had a great costumer service. The hotel does not look like the property pictures, the hotel is old and needs a renovation asap. Make sure you call the resort before checking in, to get a full description on what you are paying for.

The property was nice but not luxurious. The unit we stayed in had a cracked kitchen countertop, the A/C worked but was really loud, and there wasn't enough cutlery or dishes for the kitchen. The pool was clean, and the restaurant was fairly good. It is also a close drive to the Malecon, which made going out to eat easy. There is a private beach which was nice to have but the beach is very rocky, and there is no sand. Once we got in the water it was nice, though. Overall it was a nice time and we were happy to get lots of sun and lay by the pool.
