Great Vacation

Our 12 days at the Canto Del Sol were very enjoyable. The staff (especially the waiters, bellboys and bartenders) are very friendly and make you feel right at home. The lunch and dinner buffet food selection is very average with the breakfast being the best (omelets to order), but the three speciality restaurants are very good. Hotel is close to downtown and also is near convienent shopping for food and gifts.

Time-saving tip: In Hotel

You will get approached by time share sales persons in the hotel as well as all around town. Some are polite and some are very agressive. The hotel time share presentation is short and is not high pressure, but some of the outside presentations are 4 to 5 hours and extremely high pressure.

AMAZING Vacation Spot!

Not only were the staff friendly & very helpful but they went out of their way to assist us with an airline issue we had (lost luggage). They assisted us in getting it back & really ensured we had an amazing trip. I have traveled around the world & no one has provided service as awesome as this, facilities & value were tops! Already booking next trip there! : )

A couple's winter vacation

Great location, if you are looking to limit costs on transportation in visiting the shopping/restaurant areas. It is about a five dollar cab ride, or 20 minute walk. The city is very safe and welcoming, there is no uneasiness walking downtown or exploring the area. The hotel staff was very accommodating and friendly, the rooms were cleaned sometimes up to twice a day. The resort was small, but big enough to allow you some privacy during the day, but also small enough to get to know make friends with other vacationers. We had a blast getting to know other travelers at the pool bar at night. The resort was family-friendly, but wasn't overwhelmed with younger kids running everywhere. The food was better than what you expect for a buffet, snacks were always available late at the snack bar by the pool, drinks and drink service was quick and very tasty. Servers were cruising the pool and beach area at all times to gather drink orders and were very quick to return them to you. The mattresses were a little uncomfortable, but manageable, the fitness center was not "state-of-the art" there were no treadmills, wobbly bikes, and old lifting equipment, but if you are a person who needs some exercise on vacation- the equipment will do and the community track is about 5-6 blocks away and allows you to be amongst the friendly community members and enjoy a scenic run/walk. The weather was perfect and sunny everyday, there was free entertainment almost every night with dinner, activities provided during the day, and adventures coordinators at the resort and a neighboring little stores across from the resort that were very accessible if you were interested in exploring or adventuring more in Puerto Vallarta. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would definitely return to this resort. The staff and all-inclusive amenities are invaluable.

I would like to list the issues my partner and I had in the hotel:

1- Hotel restaurant was closed due to the construction and only one was available for the whole resort. 2- Noisy rooms at night due to the construction. 3- No wireless internet was available although it is advertised. 4- Extremely cheap food was provided at the restaurant. This caused health issues for my partner. 5- Long lines and long waiting for the restaurant due to high number of people and only one restaurant available. 6- Broken safe in the room. So I had to carry my passport and money with me all the time. 7- Extremely dirty bathroom and toilet. No regular room service was provided. 8- I had to change two rooms because of the construction. 9- Extreme pressure to sell timeshare at the hotel. 10- Low quality of drinks at the bar although it is advertised otherwise. 11- Unsafe environment due to entering the local sale people and their pressure to sell. 12- Unavailability of facilities such as gym and tennis court and pressure to sell private instruction in order to use the court. 13 Finally and the worse: bugs in the bed which caused us skin issues.

Average experience

This was my second time at this resort and, hopefully not my last. It was, just as explained, an average hotel and the price was right and I did not feel that I did not get what I paid for. I was, however, very disappointed with the internet service (that rarely worked) and the fact that my room was not clean until later afternoon (after 3:00 P.M.). The nightly entertainment was good, the service was great and if there was a problem that I mentioned (such as a not acceptable bathroom), it was quickly resolved (other than the internet).

Not worth what we paid

Room was clean and bed was fairly comfortable. Good location to have an easy walk to downtown Vallarta. Buffet food was not good, salty and very americanized. The bar drinks were sweet and in order to get a regular strength drink had to ask for a double. Staff was very polite and eager to please.

Awesome

We were here 3 years ago for our honeymoon and we came back for our anniversary. We were shocked that there were staff that remembered us from 3 years ago. I plan on going back again..

Great for the price!

Great inexpensive resort. Our first all inclusive... Very happy! We went at the end of the rainy season... Was perfect. The resort wasn't very full so no wait for food or drinks... Could imagine if they were busy, the waits could be long, but perfect for us !!! Only complaint really is the advertised WiFi wasn't very good... Extremely weak signal in lobby and no signal in the room. That was the only "problem" all week though!
