This was our first time in Puerto Vallarta and my first time in Mexico. We researched our hotels very thoroughly and decided on the Buena Ventura because of its close locale to the downtown area.

Boy, were we ever happy we did that!

WE visisted some of the further hotels in Nueva Ventura and they have nothing on this place.

Go all ...

The view is beautiful, the property is secure, and the staff is extremely nice. I had a fantastic time and i would go back in a heartbeat! The only things i would say that were drawbacks was that it was a little bit far from town (not walking distance) and that the pool activities are a little bit loud if you want to sleep in. I had a room right ...

FOOD WAS GOOD SERVICE WAS GREAT RESORT WAS CLEAN. Vendors on beach could be pest but looked like they are on all the beach's we will be back

I thought the staff here was wonderful....the bell hop, cleaning staff, restaurant servers. I loved the open air dining, and being able to walk right up to the beach, and the ocean view from my room. Mexico was even more beautiful than I imagined, and I can't wait to go back!

Although the staff at the pool bar was great, there was a general unfriendly attitude about the people of the front desk and bell hop. We stayed in a "Honeymoon Suite" which was overlooking the pool and cabana bar.
A 4 poster bed and a jacuzzi tub were useless to us in the heat, but the real disappointment was Friday night when a ...

The Buenaventura Grand Hotel & Spa is fantastic. I have been there twice. Once for New Years 2008, and I just returned from my wedding/honeymoon there on April 12th. I can't say enough good things about the hotel and staff. The food was delicious, the rooms immaculate (everything is brand new), the location can't be beat (3 blocks from ...

We entered the hotel and felt like we were going back to old Mexico. Wonderful character enhanced by the excellent service and good food. If you want to enjoy the city this is the place to stay, we walked to the Melacon every night. Enjoyed the culture and the nightlife. The teenage sons even got up early to make sure they enjoyed the Breakfast buffet and omelets.

This was our first trip to Mexico Jan. 2008
We stay at the Buenaventura Grand Hotel and Spa. It was great! The people were very friendly, they always greated us with a smile and happy words. The food was excellent, and had a nice variety for the week we were there. The rooms were very clean. Over all the people who were guests there were of ...

We took our frist trip to PVR this summer - July 2007. I choose the Beuenaventrua for the locations and paid extra to have a room with an ocean view. When we arrived at 4pm the room was not ready-that was OK but it was 6pm before we could go in. We waited in the bar/resturant near the pool and ordered nachos, 4 small tacos and a few beers...I ...
