This place was amazing! So close to the beach and had an amazing view if you chose the sea view room, the staff are all so kind and greet you every time they even walk by you! Will definitely be staying here again.
We visited August of this yr (2025). The outside of the hotel looks old. The front desk staff speaks very little English & not that friendly imo. They also will bug you about attending a “presentation” to convince you to spend more money I’m guessing on a timeshare. The grounds are Old! They have these bungalows on The property that look like could be a cute secluded get away but they look old as well. Our room was in a separate building from the entry of the hotel .. you have to walk outside & down a bumpy path so if you have nice luggage keep it at home! This building was weird .. it was just really empty & not inviting like it was once a nice environment but now just forgotten. Our room reminded me of being back home at one of our beach getaways. Very underwhelming. We had a balcony view of building tops & the street. Fine bc we didn’t pay for an ocean view. Our sink had a leak that if you didn’t turn the handle just right it would leak from base of the faucet. Safe did not work but someone FINALLY came to fix it. The phone never worked & never was fixed. Their buffet food was subpar & expensive. They kept the desserts open so flies were all over them & there was a weird smell in the dinning area. Glad we didn’t pay for the food to be included bc one day it was closed the entire day for construction. The ocean view from the beach was beautiful but their pool is small & not conducive for the amount of people who stay there so it was crowded. Stay at their sister property!
Rooms are clean and comfortable, but the pool is small and crowded. The beach is rocky and has a few chairs.
If you book through Expedia you will get a different bracelet and the Staff may try to charge you for breakfast eve though it was included with your reservation. This was very annoying.
If it were not for a struggling wait staff, this place should be prepped for a teardown. One of the two hotel elevators broke down and remained that way for half of my one-week stay. During the day, the majority of the other one was loaded to more than double its maximum allowable capacity. There was no place for people to sit in the expansive lobby area despite having a bar to serve drinks. Noisy and crowded with construction work. The price for food and drinks was exorbitant.
We had what could have been a lovely evening completely soured by the behavior of the head waiter. Instead of doing his actual job, he decided it was appropriate to ask my partner to play chess with him and then told her she “needs to make friends” (with him) if she ever wants to come back and stay for free.
That is not charming, it’s inappropriate flirting and unprofessional. When you go to a restaurant, you expect attentive service, not some bizarre attempt at recruiting personal “friends” from the guests. This kind of behavior puts people in an uncomfortable position and crosses boundaries that should never be crossed in hospitality.
A head waiter should be creating a welcoming, respectful environment — not turning the dining room into his own playground for awkward advances. Based on this experience, I would strongly caution anyone, especially women, about the way staff conduct themselves here.

Seems they do their best to provide a good hotel experience at a very low level facility. It’s not a wanna return to stay place sorry to say. The food/restaurant options are at best cafeteria type dining experience.
The staff are attentive and try to help hotel guests as best as they can.
Overall, it is not a place I’d return to stay.

We were there for the SKIF karate. The buffets were not very diverse and the cost of 430 pesos per person each meal was definitely not worth it
Not ok! They entered my room while I was away after I checked it, in the evening, whith a Do Not Disturbe sign

Sounded great, but not as planned
Great room, nice area on the 15th floor, but ad said overlooking gardens, no gardens, just construction! Cranes, men running around, overall disarray, some areas not accessible. No benches in lobby or wait areas, all open to heat and mosquitoes
Hi,
I stayed here for with my boyfriend for our summer vacation, and we were the ONLY Americans in the whole resort/hotel, It was all local people. Partying went on till 1AM, the rooms was dirty when arriving, the paint from the ceiling was falling apart in the shower, the toilet seat was broken, the bathroom vent was leaking water all over the place, and shower didn’t drain, nor bathroom sink. Just be aware black mold was everywhere, and the resort/hotel is DEFINITELY not what the pictures show online.
Unfortunately our experience at Krystal Vallarta was not a good one. We had previously stayed at this hotel in 2019 and had a great experience (booked 4 rooms), so decided to book again. Our family booked a total of 7 rooms this time around and right from the beginning, we started experiencing issues. We got locked out of 4 rooms, keys wouldn’t work, shower and sink in one room overflowed, air conditioner in one room wasn’t working, safe wouldn’t open in another room and we couldn’t access money. Hotel sold part of their property which included a huge part of their biggest pool and we weren’t made aware that construction would be going on everyday, starting early in the morning 8am. When we went to hang out at the pool, we were greeted with a family of 35 that took over entire pool area and was full on having a volleyball match with no consideration for any of us other guests. Balls were flying left and right, hitting and splashing others and the family never once apologized. There was no hotel staff at pools keeping order, so everyone was pretty much doing whatever they wanted. This same family of 35, was gathering in rooms (multiple floors), having parties very late into the night/early morning, making lots of noise. Definitely not the experience we were hoping to have and must say, won’t be staying here ever again .
I liked the customer service. I hated the downsizing of resort. The elimination of 1 pool , restaurant, bar and other amenities. Very poor communication with public. I felt decieved. Only 1 restaurant in service. The same menu all day. Pitiful. I won't go anymore. I believe this resort is going to be a at best 1 star huge motel. I wish it weren't true.
