The Club Embarcadero is a great Hotel. I stayed in a 3 bed hotel room, and it was nice...on the 6th floor with balcony...amazing view. the hotel rooms overlook the Marina and the pool. At the Embarcadero there are 2 sides to the hotel, there is the Marina side ( where Most of the hotel rooms are, Pools (2) Resturant and Bar) and the Ocean side ( which is right across the street ( more pools (3) on this side as well, resturant and of course the Ocean)
There is always activities going on in and around the Hotel...From Water Arobics, Tequilla Volleyball....all the way to Dancing Lessons. They have all the Activities on a board so you always know what time they will be taking place.
Breakfast in the morning is from 7:00am till 11:00am, Snacks from 11:00am till Noon Lunch 12:30 till 4:00pm At dinner it is held in a large theatre area, where they have live entertainment whille you eat. Dinner is a buffet everynight ( the dinners are all themes as well ex: Mexican, Ittalian, Chinesse...etc )
Most importaint about the hotel, is that it is a great place to relax, the staff is outstanding!! ( very friendly! ) This hotel is a 4 star hotel, But I give it a 5!!
they have 2 swim-up bars in the hotel, it comes in handy when it is hot out!!! Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$180 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: In Marina VallartaDirections: 5 minutes from the Airport

www.lasiestahotel.com I found this hotel thru a friend, and it was a great place to stay. It's situated up from the Malecon and hustle and bustle of town, 5 blocks and a few switchbacks, which was good exercise. Although we rented a car later in the trip. There were 3 rooms per floor and 6 floors, it had a big comfortable bed, living room and stocked kitchenette and filtered water cooler, and I loved the bathroom tub, all hand tiled in a circular tub.
Oh yes, it did have one of those, a beautiful pool w/lawn chairs and such, secluded from onlookers from anywhere. The gronds people kept it clean daily. Leave a Comment

I have only stayed in Mexico one other time. My first experience was at a three star, and the Decameron is a four star, so kind of hard to compare!
The facilities were very nice. There are about 5 or 6 blocks of rooms, some ocean front, others tucked in the back of the resort. We were in one of the back blocks, which we were disappointed about at first, until we realized that ours was the no-children area. Bonus! Each block has it's own pool area, bar and snack area.
The rooms were nice. Big beds (although a little hard!), a huge bathroom and shower (different from the last resort I stayed at), and very very clean.
The pool facilities were great. There were four pools in total all over the resort. All were impeccably clean. The only bummer was that they were closed at night, so no last minute dips to cool off (although I think this might be standard in Mexico).
I loved the food, and found some new dishes to try. My dad said that he had had better at a five star, but that it was still pretty good.
The staff were great. Extremely friendly wait-staff in the restaurants. Our room attendants did a great job. The front desk staff was very helpful.
The beach is also very nice. Lots of room to lay out your towel, although they never seemed to have enough beach chairs!
I would definitely recommend the Decameron to others.
If you do stay at the Decameron, make sure that you have dinner at the beach side restaurant around sunset. You will never see one as beautiful! Every night we were in PV, we had the same table for dinner, and we were treated to the magnificent sunset!

Very affordable, all-inclusive Family resort.Food is good (a-la-carte is better then the restaurantes) Lots of activities for the whole family, alcohlic drinks are a bit weak, but just ask and they will make them stronger, friendly staff. Clean beach, about 35 min from downtown PV. If possible don't buy anything on the resort...prices are a bit high!
Great nightly entertainment, 4 pools in total (one is adult only) Leave a Comment Theme: OtherComparison: about averageAddress: 35 min north of PV, 5 min from Bucerius

The level of service here is amazing and it's located a couple of minutes from downtown Puerto Vallarta (30 pesos in a taxi). It has a beach to which only the hotel has access, two pools, four restaurants and the rooms are ace. Leave a Comment

My husband and I stayed at the Buenaventura for our honeymoon in November 2003. We've been to Puerto Vallarta several times already and this is the first hotel that we are returning to.
It's listed as a 2-3 star in most books which doesn't surprise me, but what it lacks in grandure, it makes up for in other ways.
Here are some of the things I liked about the Buenaventura Hotel:
Large pool
Chairs, chairs, chairs. We never needed to get up early to reserve.
Extremely close to the Malecon (Boardwalk) and the action of downtown Puerto Vallarta
Beachfront - great sunsets!
Room had partial ocean view
All-inclusive
Close to everything: a cappuccino bar across the street, great late night mexican restaurant 1 block away, internet cafes everywhere, lot's of shopping.
Buses are cheap and stop almost right outside the front door of the hotel.
Average or not-so-good:
Rooms are not grand but very clean
Neither my husband and I were crazy about the lunch menu. This was the time to indulge ourselves in some of the great Puerto Vallarta restaurants.
There were limited activities, no shows in November (note: we never stay for the shows, but that might matter to some)
We received a room upgrade because we were on our honeymoon. The room had a partial ocean view and a jaccuzi. The jacuzzi did not work (leaked water everywhere) but it didn't spoil our fun. There is a nice hot tub at the resort that is not heavily used. We could see it from our window and knew exactly when to use it.
As honeymooners we were treated to the most wonderful and romantic dinner in a private tower above the restaurant. Only one table which was attended to by our favourite waiter. They served us lobster and filet mignon (remember, this is a cheap all-inclusive!). We were so full that we could barely get down the stairs. Because the waiter was so attentive to us, we didn't want to be rude by not finishing our meal. The experience was so wonderful for us that we have booked our vacation at the Buenaventura again.
