Puerto Vallarta hotels near El Faro Lighthouse

Cons: Still seemed expensive, food could be better

Cons: Wished the beach was longer to walk (cove with little peninsulas that were rocky to cross to get to the next small cove) Didn't like the lunch restaurant/ outdoor eating options during the day.

Cons: Room outdated, and having to pay for wifi in room? This was our second hotel in PV. Not horrible, but probably wouldn't stay here again based on other options.

Cons: Having to pay for WIFI

Cons: We don't like the rising fees. "Tips" for maid and bell service are now included, and the Westin will charge a US$15 per day "resort fee" starting February 2019. Add 3% hotel tax and the 16% IVA tax that we pay as Mexican residents, and it's not a deal, even at convention rates.

Cons: Expensive WiFi fees.

Cons: Beach was not cleanest water, but most if you go to the beach usually you would leave PVR.

Cons: Upon check in we were given a different room that we had paid, After discussing several minutes , we get the room we booked in kayak website.

Cons: Renovations limited the gift shop from being opened, but that's about it.

Cons: Lack of cleanliness of rooms. On our last day they knocked on door to spray for bed bugs. Woke up with bug bites each morning not knowing from what until they came to spray. Will never stay their again because of the lack of cleanliness. Staff were fabulous.

Cons: Staff seemed stressed and not appreciated by supervisors. Pool lacked towels (were hidden in a rolling bucket), and had zero towels at 7pm when I wanted to go swimming. Lobby was cold and had no warmth or delights. Overpriced food. Far from center of Puerto Vallarta.

Cons: Nothing g was great

Cons: If I stayed longer.

Cons: The food could be better around the pool. Mikado was great as usual. The coffee shop could be better organized for order taking, paying. The bar is very nice and great atmosphere.

Cons: only issue i had was when i requested a late check out, they refused. i asked to speak to a manager and they changed their mind and gave me an extra hour. just seemed weird, it was the first time i've ever been told no on a late check out request at any hotel.

Cons: Nothing.

Cons: Front desk staff not well trained. problems with check in, rooms not ready in a timely fashion

Cons: The drinks on-site are very expensive.

Cons: The only thing that could be better is to have another few days there.

Cons: The resort is 28 years old and just a little dated. BUT they are in the midst of renovation.

Cons: I expected more luxe giving the relatively high price - not Four Seasons standards but maybe a little more. The rooms were nice enough but the decor seemed to lack a certain Mexican spark. The rooms were more like generic hotel rooms - nice but generic.

Cons: The hotel, even as some remo can be seen, need a major facelift

Cons: We were there celebrating our 35th anniversary. This was not the place for a tranquil vacation. There were lots of children and families. They bused in people on Saturday, and picked them up on Sunday. The resort was very crowded, particularly the pool. The food was mostly buffets. The snack bar served a greasy hamburger that smelled great and tasted even better.

Cons: I absolutely did not care for the pushy time share sales staff that circles around you every time we walked by. You couldn't even avoid them since their stand is right by the lobby & elevator. In addition, their sales tactics were pretty fraudulent. At first, everything sounds free, then these little fees start getting added and quoted rates change. Even when we were politely declining, they would follow you to the elevator or continue to push. I expected better from Sheraton than to allow this on their resort.

Cons: Adult beverages were pretty weak. The condition of the rooms was ok, but nothing special and ours was a bit musty. They were also doing renovations on the tops 2 floors of the hotel while we there. You could hear every conversation that anyone was having in the hall and our toilet would occasionally run for no reason and was LOUD. If you love bad covers of any song, then this resort has the music selection for you.

Cons: Beach is bad, rocky everywhere and strong currents

Cons: Remodeled rooms are very nice (modern, luxurious), but not all rooms have been updated, and those that have not been updated are mediocre at best.

Cons: Cigarette butts on balcony, food trays left all day in hallway, leaked water from window, hot tub out of order, had to pay 50 pesos to print boarding passes. Upon checkout most guest service representatives would ask "how was your stay" "look forward to welcoming you back soon" --- NOTHING.

Cons: The girl at the right side of entry . pushy in trying to get us to visit other hotel. Inconsiderate.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: The only complaint I have is that we booked a king bed and we got two double beds instead, we tried for two days to switch into a room with a king and gave up. They wanted to put us in a smaller room with no view.

Cons: I was given a room that was already occupied

Cons: Many guests served way beyond their limit made for a sloppy atmosphere. We stayed for one night before heading to our resort in NV. Prob wouldn't do it again. if you're on spring break or a budget this place leaves a lot to be desired. Timeshare pitch was a hassle for guests staying only one night as well.

Cons: The constant barrage of timeshare sales people and lack of shuttle service from the airport was annoying. The DJ at the pool was loud and went on far too late. Breakfast was only available until 11 and the buffet breakfast was terribly overpriced. We found that the $100/person for the all inclusive was exorbitant.

Cons: The people in the room next to us stayed out late and were very noisy late at night when they were coming back to their hotel room so the walls must be somewhat thin. The food at the hotel was just ok. I'm glad that we didn't book the all inclusive option for our stay because we would have been tired of the food by the end of our stay. There are plenty of delicious restaurants nearby so there is no need to eat at the hotel all the time.

Cons: Everything

Cons: The hotel is not close to downtown, so a cab ride is required. Also, there are plenty of people trying to sell you things on the beach and that can get a bit tiring.

Cons: Our 'concierge' did the normal, take a 90 minute tour, get some free stuff. The 90 minutes was 4 hours. The free stuff was free anyway. When we didn't but at the end of the tour, two con artists drove us back and set us up for a free breakfast and free tickets to Rhythms of the Night and tour of a new place the next morning WITH NO SALES PITCH. I wouldn't go. My wife and daughter-in-law went. During the taxi ride they were assured NO SALES PITCH several times. When they arrived, they couldn't have breakfast or the free tickets unless they agreed to a "90 minute sales pitch". They left and had to pay for a taxi back. A wasted morning. The bad was so bad that I can't remember anything good about VDP.

Cons: I didn't like that we basically missed our last day of vacation because of Hurricane Patricia. It barely rained and I never saw any high winds.

Cons: The first night was a bit noisy with a graduation party, but they were gone the next day.

Cons: It is far from downtown and traffic can build up on the one road. So if you wanted to go there, plan a full day down there.

Cons: Fighting for beach chairs was a gigantic pain. why do people 'claim' chairs and not show up at all. Introduced American competitive attitudes which intrudes on the vacay experience.

Cons: The food was decent but not overly impressive, especially for the price of the all-inclusive. The reservations at the restaurants booked up prior to our arrival so we never had the chance to eat anywhere except the buffet, so book your reservations early. Overall a great time though! Would definitely go back.

Cons: Could have been cleaner. Beds were uncomfortable. First night bed sheets were dirty. Bathrooms are in need of major upgrade. Staff is helpful at times, overall they need to improve their service. Food was ok. Couple things were good and some was of the items were whatever.

Cons: Property is a little dated in parts but good value for what we paid

Cons: Everything was outstanding.

Cons: I emailed manager about a cost issue and never got a response and ceiling fan in room didn't work and showed head was clogged so only half the water holes worked so no water pressure

Cons: The hotel feels squished in between other hotels and buildings. The surrounding area is not pleasant to walk around, except for the beach. The hotel feels clean but then things will start to fail, like the toilet didn't work and lights didn't work in our room. The language barrier is obviously difficult to overcome when you need repairs like this, but I felt like the maintenance staff was irresponsible and would just disappear if they didn't know how to fix the problem. By far the most disappointing thing was the food. For an all inclusive, the food was intolerable. We only at the buffet and then the Mexican restaraunt and found both to be some of the worst food we have ever had. We paid more than we should for a last minute NYE trip but I feel totally ripped off.
