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.
