San Marino Vallarta Centro Beach Front

The property is in an EXCELLENT location! Close to dozens of great restaurants and taco stands, and steps away from the beach and boardwalk! You can navigate most of downtown via walking about ~30minutes! Which is great because there's some pretty wild bars on the Boardwalk (La Vaquita/Mandala/etc.). Also, there are no additional steps needed to get into the room, so the property was pretty wheelchair and walker accessible.

WELL - there is no WIFI in the rooms. You know, THE PLACE YOU NEED WIFI TO BE. We were in the Junior Suites with the balcony, and there was even a smart TV...but no WiFi?? We called the desk and even spoke to them in person and they either seemed to be confused on whether there should be wifi or flat out told us that there wasn't WiFi available in any of the rooms, only in the lobby and common areas. For those reasons alone, I would not stay here again. Also, the all-inclusive food was not good. Dinner was fine - breakfast was bad. I highly suggest not getting the all-inclusive and eating at the local restaurants (I have a list of suggestions on my blog, there are some tacos nearby that are delicious!).

Not much

Getting towels was difficult in the room. If you want a hair dryer or iron you need to call the front desk and book it. And then go get it yourself. One day they didn’t do room service, so I asked for bottle of water which they are suppose to supply. They couldn’t and I had to buy my own. No guests are allowed on the property at all I couldn’t bring a friend to my room that lives there. The cleaning staff knocked on the door every morning early. I asked for a do not disturb sign. They said they would bring me one. They never did. I had a very unpleasant experience there.

Only that the property is on the beach

Comfort of bed, old room and roaches running around

Location. The pools and beach facilities and the all inclusive was good value.

The room was shabby with a broken vanity and intermittent light in the bathroom. No bath mat or hand towel for half our stay and we had to chase up towels and water for our room every second day.
