Pros: The Marina area is less congested than the Zona Romantica which gives the whole area a laid back feel. The pool was a great size and you steps away from the beach. Easy bus transportation to other parts of town. Several restaurants in the area if you don't want hotel food. The public areas were nice with decorated with a certain flair.

Pros: The whole experience was amazing. Not only is the property beautiful and so relaxing, but the employees are friendly and very helpful.My husband and I do a lot of traveling and have stayed in all kinds/levels of accommodations all over the world. This has become our favorite place and we return just about every year. In fact,we have come so many times that they upgraded us to a suite this last time which was amazing. The restaurants on site are among the best in Puerto Vallarta. The rooms are always clean and the beach is not overcrowded like some of the accommodations in the hotel zone. It's convenient to the airport and is about a 5 minute walk to the Marina which has lots of restaurants and shops.

One morning at breakfast downstairs, I had mentioned to the waiter that my boyfriend and me were loving this place but getting bit so bad by mosquitos after he asked how we were doing. When I came back from getting my breakfast at the buffet, there was mosquito repellant sitting on our table. Arnoldo (our waiter) had left it there for us to use. So nice!! Everyone there was just happy and did whatever they could to make our stay enjoyable-which it was. This place is clean and set in the most perfect location.
We cannot wait to go back!!!

Pros: The pool and beach were wonderful. The food was great. Loved the omelette, smoothie and quesadilla stations for breakfast. The fish tacos are a must! The grill not only offered hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken wings but guacamole and pico. The rooms were all pool and ocean view and very adequate.
But what really stood out was the staff. Not only were they friendly and accommodating to the guests but never saw any impatience or aggravation between coworkers.
We WILL be back to Puerto Vallarta and it WILL be at Fiesta Americana.

Pros: Room was large, bright and super clean. The pools and grounds were also nice and very clean. There are 3 restaurants and a deli, all are good and reasonably priced. For example, a burger or a Mexican dish and a beer are in the $8-$15 range. All of the prices in the restaurants and shops were shown with tax included. I stayed a week and had no surprises or problems. The staff is exceptional. Its easy to catch a bus to the malecon (downtown) for 7.5 pesos, or a taxi is about 100 pesos. I have paid more for places that weren't as good, so I was very satisfied.

A tip: The wifi is not free, but if you buy something from the restaurant in the market, you can ask for a wifi code that is valid for the entire day. Otherwise, the charge is $10 per day per device.
I was never approached once by a sales rep in the lobby, so that wasn't a problem as some reviews have suggested. On the beach, however, everyone has something to sell.

Pros: The staff is very friendly, helpful, thoughtful and try to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. There is always an activity going on and the staff are very active in the activities. It is a smaller resort so the staff all get to know who you are relativity quickly. It really feels like you are staying with a family. The food is good, nothing spectacular and it doesn't change much. We did not go to the spa so we can't say anything about that. The staff puts on much of the entertainment and they do quite well and because you know them personally it makes the shows seem infinitely better.
