Wyndham Alltra Riviera Nayarit

Xochitl was a great server!! Fiesta Americana is a cool resort, very relaxed vibe. Food was not fantastic but service was great and all around can’t complain

Shout out to Alejandra at the pool bar close to the beach. We absolutely loved this girl, she hustled hard and always had a smile on her face. Leo from the lobby bar as well, the food was overall quite good. A few meals that stood out were the steakhouse (new York steak) was excellent, and the Thai food evening meal at the main buffet. A few things that could be improved are the lack of comfortable seating by the lobby bar. Definitely need more tables, it was hard to ever get a seat in the evenings and the big seating was extremely uncomfortable. One other thing is the lack of evening entertainment. We were quite disappointed with what they offered for that. I hope in the future they budget for that as well. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would consider coming back here again.

What a lovely resort!!! The staff were the best part! Shout out to Raul & Maye, Ana, Angel, Arturo & Esteban! The pools were great, the food was plentiful & delicious, great security, great drinks, wonderful housekeeping staff - overall, 5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Here is our take on our New Years Eve 2026 vacation. Booked a last minute trip with my teenage son to celebrate his upcoming grade 12 graduation. We wanted direct flights, a wide beach with lovely sand and nothing that was too overrun with smaller children. Booked into a Fiesta Club King Oceanview suite. There were no double queen rooms left since I had booked so last minute, sothey brought up a rollaway bed for my son who said it was quite comfortable. Upon arrival we were sent straight to the 7th floor where concierge Javier got us checked in and took us directly to our room on the 8th floor. We were coming from snow and bitter cold so for us this trip was all about the beach and the view. The room we got definitely delivered. Stunning oceanview from the moment we walked into the room. Sunken jetted tub on the balcony with a table and two chairs. Bathrobes and slippers were available and the fridge was stocked with soda, water and beer. As we had a club suite, we also had access to the 7th floor bar area with snacks provided throughout the day. The resort bars don’t open until a bit later so a perk of having access to the the club was grabbing an early morning hot chocolate from the buffet or coffee shop and having the 7th floor bartender add a little Baileys that o enjoyed as I took my early morning walk down the beach. Hotel has a huge expanse of beach in front. Like at most resorts, there are vendors walking around however they will leave you alone if you aren’t interested. Jet ski rides available on the beach but didn’t see any other water sports. Beach and pool drink service is available. They will also bring you burgers, fries, hot dogs and tortilla chips to your lounger. If you want more selection, the Grill, the buffet, and Greek restaurants are open for lunch. We loved the fact that there are no reservations required for dinner in any of the a la carte restaurants. You simply show up. Even during busy holiday week, we never waited more than 5 minutes Every week different ones are open different nights so if you really want to eat in a specific restaurant, you would want to plan ahead. There is a posting in the lobby that shows what’s available as well as a QR code you can use on your phone. We loved that we could walk down and go to whichever one we felt we wanted at that moment. So easy. We found the restaurants to be as good as other all-inclusive we’ve been to throughout Mexico and Caribbean. Portions are fine for most people but my hungry teenage boy would just order two entrees and no one batted an eye. We really enjoyed the Mexican and Sushi restaurants the most but the Mediterranean wasn’t our favourite. The buffet wasn’t as expansive as others we have been to. You certainly won’t starve but it didn’t have quite the variety we have had elsewhere. However, breads and pastries were delicious and you can get bacon from the omelet station. Pancakes, fruit, waffles, potatoes, and plenty of Mexican inspired dishes were available. We don’t like everything we ate but that’s the case in any buffet. Thankfully, even when the resort was at capacity, there was no huge rush to grab loungers either by the pool or by the beach. Plenty were left until about 10:00am. It looks like the hotel has just replaced the towels as they are huge and very new. The first morning I booked a Bali bed on the beach for 1500 pesos. These beds are right by the volleyball nets which is an odd location. You’re literally trying to relax 10 feet from the sidelines where people are playing and you risk getting whacked by a ball. My son loves beach volleyball so I was ok with this as I watched him play but if you’re looking for a relaxing spot to chill by the beach, the Bali beds are not it. There are other Bali beds by the upper pool which would be quieter but you don’t get the ocean sights and sounds. Bar service was great. Leo was awesome and made us special drinks. He even stopped on his way home and grabbed some vanilla for us when we mentioned wanting to go find some. The staff here are very kind. Sometimes the waiters in the restaurants seemed a little overwhelmed and once we were forgotten about and didn’t receive the dessert we ordered. However, we gave them grace as the resort was very full this week and the staff work hard. There is a wonderful coffee shop just off the lobby which makes great drinks and has delicious soft ice cream. This is all included in your stay. Activities are not as numerous as other resorts We wanted a great beach with an awesome view and weren’t looking for foam parties or swim up bars. However, more daytime activities are needed. There is yoga and water aerobics and beach volleyball but adding other things to do would be much better. Tennis court is also available and my son had fun playing. Live night shows are held in the pool area with cushions placed on steps. We saw a fire twirling show, a disco show, and a Mexican dancers presentation. Two other evenings we sat in the lobby bar listening and dancing to live music. This was New Years week and there were quite a few families around but I can imagine in mid January, the resort would be very quiet. Since Fiesta just took over this resort a few months ago, I can see them trying to add more activities to liven things up. There are three pools. The first one is the busiest with families while the other two were quieter although colder. Was nice for a plunge in the +30 degree heat though. There is water aerobics offered as well as water volleyball although the beach volleyball had much more participation. You can borrow a boogie board from the towel desk although it is quite tattered and could use replacing. My son enjoyed playing in the waves though. The swimming area is roped off and the lifeguards are always watching. There is security around the pool area as well. There is currently no little store to buy items you may have forgotten. The front desk said they are planning to create this soon. We took a taxi to the Paradise Village mall for 130 pesos each way to get some souvenirs and other items we wanted. There is a small grocery store in the mall as well. We have been to Mexico many times and didn’t feel a need to buy a lot of stuff but if you want a more shopping experience the a taxi ride to PVR would be your best bet. There is also a makeshift souvenir store on the beach just meters from the hotel that sells all sorts of things including silver jewellery, cover ups and t-shirts. There is a helpful tour operator on site who booked our dolphin and sea lion encounter. We had an amazing time and especially loved interacting withthe sea lions. The Club section concierge Javier is a wealth of information and was our go-to with any questions we had. He explained to us that for NYE, the dinner was all included as was access to the celebration on the beach. If you wanted an actual table by the stage area from 9:00-1:00am you would want to book a table. That would require the purchase of a bottle of sparkling wine which is about $150 per couple. Because it was just my son and I, we didn’t feel the need to book a table. The party was excellent with a great band and dj. All in all it was a lovely trip as we knew what we were getting. Adding more activities would elevate this hotel even further.

Alan was the best with volleyball. He was very helpful and good at getting the games started by recruiting players. Was also a very good player himself.
