Golden Crown Paradise Adults Only All-Inclusive, Zona Hotelera nte

The information on this hotel needs to be updated. Crown Paradise is NOT adults only-it caters to families. The "Golden Paradise", located in a separate part of the facility, is adults only. Be careful when making your reservations to specify your preference. While the dinner restaurants were excellent, the lunch options were limited to the buffet or room service. Other than these surprises, I really did like it and would go back. The staff was very friendly.

This was our 4th trip to this resort. The price is a plus! The food is not. The service at the outdoor restaurant--the Bella Vista- is almost non-existent. We waited for our food for almost an hour and when it came it wasn't complete and the things that were supposed to be hot were lukewarm and the things that were supposed to be cold were warm (like the Caesar salad). My husband ordered a beef tenderloin at dinner at the Paradise restaurant and it was so tough he couldn't eat it. The bright spot for food was the INDOOR Bella Vista restaurant run by Paulie. Food was always good and he will go out of his way to please you. I really liked the pool. It is the same depth throughout and always very clean. Speaking of clean--they are always cleaning--which was very nice to see. The drinks were very good (although I am no expert on drinks). The dinner on the beach for return guests is always very nice. Forget about a good night's sleep on their pillows--unless you can sleep no matter what the pillows are like. These must have come from k-mart! I have to say I never ran into anyone who worked there who was rude. It would be nice to sit on the beach without constantly being bothered to buy something from the vendors. Even if you close your eyes, they will tap you on the shoulder and say, Senora--would you like to buy this or that. I wish I could just relax on the beach and watch the waves but I guess staying near the pool is less frustrating so I do that. I really wish that I had no complaints ----the location is great. the snack bars have good food and the paea (don't know if I spelled that right) is to die for and is made once a week by the pool. It is not a 5 star resort--more like a 3.

the service andstaff were very nice. the rooms were awesome. the restaurants were very good and it was a very short distace to popular restaurants like senoir frog's or margaritaville. it was a really great experience.

Location was fantastic and very nice to not have kids running around. Rooms were large with a nice view but we cold feeling with tile floors and hard mattresses. We were most disappointed with quality of food. We ate room service hot dogs mostly. We want to go back to Puerto Vallarta but not stay here.

"Whoa", was the first thing I said, when me and my family arrived @ Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. My friend and I in grade 3, are already saving to go back! -Samantha

The hotel was spotless and the food in all the restaurants was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and hardworking. Thoroughly enjoyed Alberto's music to dance to in the evenings. Lovely beach but got a bit fed up with vendors pestering us all the time. Good shows at the night club but repeated weekly and we were there for 2 weeks. Would recommend a holiday here.

The hotel is in a great location! It's not too far from the airport and it's close to downtown, for shopping, bar-hopping, or sight-seeing. The service there is excellent--the people are so friendly and ready to please. The restaraunts are wonderful with excellent food. The rooms have exactly what you need to enjoy a relaxing stay. It's right on the beach...and the best part...nobody under 18 is allowed--so it's a great escape from the kids!!

not the fanciest of hotels but for the money well worth it. who cares what the rooms are like, just are in them for 6 hours of sleeping anyway. there are a lot of beach peddlers but it's fun messing with them. if you don't want to be approached by them just ignore them and they leave you alone. food is good, if you want to walk to Outback there is one 4 blocks away, has a nice grocery store accross the street. the best part is walking downtown. it's a long walk, couple miles but it's fun stopping at all the local bars for a drink. once there, there are many restaurants, bubba gumps, hard rock, and the best is a local, Pipi's. you must visit Pipi's, excellent food and even betterr margarittias. just got done booking are trip for Feb, this is the 4 year. friends we go with have been going almost 20. I recommend this hotel, for the money it can't be beat.

I've never been to PV, but have been practically everywhere else in Mexico. I decided on this resort after reading all of the glowing reviews. What a huge mistake. The resort is old and rundown. The service at the pool is almost non-existant. The food is barely edible. The bed and pillows were so hard and used that it was the worst sleep that I think I've ever had. The average age is 65 y/o and no singles whatsoever. The beach is covered from one end to the other with peddlers who attack you as soon as you step on the sand. Speaking of sand, grey and dirty, water was murky. Don't take me as a snob. I'm a blue-collared guy who can be happy in any situation. I paid in advance for a 7 day stay from dec 21 until dec 28, 2007 and left the 3rd day. I don't know what these other reviewers are thinking, but I will absolutely never stay there again!

It was my first trip to the area. I had a wonderful time. The room was great and the food was fantastic...spent lots of time at the sushi hut on the beach.
