Best Hotels in Bahia de Banderas, Mexico

OK Y’all. Day three of our five night six day stay. I cannot wait any longer to dispute all the naysayers regarding this hotel! Our stay has been amazing so far! The service is five star… Everyone has been super accommodating. I would name names but it would be simply everyone we’ve encountered so far. I will say that Gabriella, Josefina, Hugo, Luis (buffet) and everyone at the Altitude lounge are super nice and clearly want to make our stay the best it can be:) So far the food has been pretty freaking awesome. Breakfast buffet yes really fabulous. Mexican restaurant last night a super great surprise given the terrible reviews we saw. No idea who is trolling this hotel and posting all those bad reviews but I’m telling you that I am very particular and really appreciate great service. So far that’s all I have had at this really wonderful place! About to try the grill so will cut it short for now. But let’s just close by saying that my guy booked this place and I was super skeptical because of all the bad reviews. So glad I trusted him because I am loving it here :-) The infinity pool does get pretty loud during the day but I’m sure younger people love it. By the way we are in an oceanfront suite and joined the altitude club a very good investment! Carrie and Ed

My Visa was Charged 2 - two days prior to arrival. No relief, reconciliation, explanation as to charges both on my visa and in person. Treated by Reception Manager Sandra with total disregard and demeaning, demoralizing attitude. Still do not have a proper accounting of what each of the two rooms cost per day. Room request for disabled guest in my party ignored and we were placed in a room the furthest away from elevator. Within minutes of arrival in room the toilet bowel actually came right off. Had to leave room for several hours to affect repair. Which subsequently was just caulking and toilet was always wobbling. Shower leaked all over floor into the sink area. Bedding - blanket shredded Floor grout filthy Towels like sandpaper Pull out sofa broken - metal sticking out and filthy All inclusive food was absolutely disgusting. Repeat food daily. Repurposed food, ie; chicken nuggets turned into sweet and sour chicken. Pancakes like frisbee disks. No salad dressings. No vinegar. Restaurant was supposed to be ready/open at 7am at least for coffee. It was usually not ready until at least 7:15. The bellman actually took items left for maid for his wife he said. We had stayed here before and were so shocked and sad at the total downturn of the services and food. Let alone the room. Very, very disappointing all inclusive.

My friend and I stayed at Hotel Mío for 9 nights and we had a wonderful time. It was our first time taking a trip outside of the US, and our stay at Hotel Mío did not disappoint. The entire staff was extremely helpful from the very beginning, from helping us get our bags to the room, to 24/7 room service, and their helpful accommodations to our language barrier. Most of the staff knew English, and if they didn’t, they didn’t hesitate to find someone who could understand and help right away. The woman helping us with our bags went out of her way to suggest night life that we may like to experience, making us feel welcome from the beginning. We spent a lot of time at the gorgeous rooftop pool, where we enjoyed drinks, food, and live music under the beating sun. We had an AMAZING server, Ali, for most of our time at the pool. She remembered us throughout our stay, remembering the drinks we ordered, and engaging in thoughtful communications, showing she went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and accommodated. The manager that we had seen almost every day at the hotel remembered us from the start, and made sure to check in on how we were in passing, while also remembering our orders and helping to accommodate our needs. We will definitely be back in the future, and we hope to see Ali and all of the other amazing staff there as well.

Such a nice experience, especially for an all inclusive resort. It wasn’t overly crowded and there were always spots by the pool and beach. We never had to wait to eat at any of the amazing restaurants. The food and drinks were amazing as was the service, specifically Elian at the pool. I hate going the same place twice, but I’m looking forward to returning with my family soon!

second week of March - for us, perfect weather. The hotel is popular with Mexican families on vacation, which for us, added to the value of our Mexican vacation. Lots of cleaning going on here, all the time - our suite and the resort was always near spotless. Staff were terrific, all the time. Right on a beautiful sandy beach, and lots of it. Must eat or do take-out from Eddie's, a well-priced excellent restaurant a short walk away. Catch the high-quality Saturday market also a short walk away, and the much larger Tuesday market using the 25 peso water taxi beside Eddie's. Located in Nuevo Vallarta which adjoins Puerto Vallarta, meaning you take a taxi, uber or city bus from the hotel to PV, which is where most of the tourist action takes place - ask for the Malecon, the downtown beach ***** where tourists will get anything and everything they want, as well as the Saturday market downtown, the largest market in the area. Taxis are not expensive, and ubers are somewhat cheaper, but the buses and colectivos are much, much cheaper, as is typical of Mexico. It's a bit of an adventure to figure out the public transportation here, and you'll meet lots of locals whose english is only 'un pocito', but for us it was definitely worthwhile, as we got out a lot. And mucho gracias to Raul at reception who worked through some booking issues to permit us to lengthen our stay in the suite we started out in - 2606, which I highly recommend for its lovely balcony, kitchen and ocean views.
