Hilton Vallarta Riviera All-Inclusive Resort

Dinner at Auma steakhouse was delicious. Rodrigo was our waiter and made sure we were well cared for. He was able to recommend unique drinks and help our group enjoy the vast array of desserts. Come visit!

We recently spent 5 nights here celebrating our 35th anniversary. The property offers a lot to like. Our King Master Suite was roomy, had amazing views, and we appreciated having two bathrooms. We paid for Enclave, the best part of which was having concierge Celeste make all our dinner and cabana reservations a few days ahead of arrival. Gonzalo was gracious at breakfast there, which we appreciated for the quiet atmosphere. A couple restaurants offered “specials” for Enclave guests (though the one we accepted we never actually received). One wish for Enclave is for there to be a way to communicate, say by text, with the concierge without having to physically go up there. The restaurants are all very good. I had thought they were all open air (La Luce, Maxal and Sunan are not - and maybe not the sushi place). I had dreaded mosquitos since so many reviews complained about them, but we had none in early November. Food was good, service great (if a little rushed sometimes). Thanks to Exuel, Donovanne, Rodrigo, America, Norma, Medardo, Michelle, Ian, and Carlos — and anyone whose name we missed. Eat dinner at 7 so you don’t miss the evening entertainment which was really a lot of fun. Daytime entertainment at the pool was offered each hour. We didn’t partake except for making guacamole with Hugo and Saul. Fun! Cabana service was excellent thanks to Omar, Melquiades, Eduardo and especially Juan. Sahori, the pool concierge, was sweet. Unfortunately towels ran out sometimes and weren’t available for an hour or more; that shouldn’t happen. The beach area is great. Very warm water and decent snorkeling (though you have to bring your own equipment — wish they had some on hand). We enjoyed a little kayaking too, though you’re pretty limited by time and how far you can go. Town is not walkable but is an easy uber ride away. I booked airport transfers directly with Grayline and they worked well.

Our trip was amazing to puerto Vallarta! Especially due to the amazing service and entertainment! Our favorite servers were Anna, and the older gentleman that was working evenings in the buffet! So kind and always giving top teir service as well as our new friend Fidel! I truly fell in love with FIDEL! He is one of the brightest personalities and sweetest souls I’ve met in life and we enjoyed his presence so so much! The tacos in the sea salt restaurant were amazing but Fidel kept us coming back! His smile and kindness will be in my heart forever! For entertainment we had way too much with Hugo, Saul and inuk!! They know how to bring the energy and put everyone around them in a good mood!

We were greeted by an amazing staff, great food, great atmosphere and having a wonderful location to view the Bay and the Arches. Thank you for having us and ensuring ir was a pleasant stay. We congratulate Bianca Parra and Evelia Ibarra from Azulinda cafe for their willingness to go above and beyond in providing us with the best grab and go goodies we could have asked for. Cookies and croissants were the best. The food was amazing everywhere we had Lunch and Dinner, especially the ceviches, they were the best! Thank you!

We went on a half day shore excursion from HAL Cruise Ship 'Eurodam' beginning with a drive through Marina Vallarta village. Then a walking tour of the downtown area, through cobblestone streets to the beautiful and popular Malecón (waterfront promenade). We were impressed by striking nautically-themed sculptures. We visited the Gold & Silver Factory & the Cathedral of our Lady of Guadalupe. Then we headed north to the countryside, driving through the quaint town of Ixtapa - one of the few remaining farming areas around Puerto Vallarta. Our stop was at the -Hacienda Doña Engracia Tequila factory, where we learned about the process of converting the blue agave cactus into world-class tequila. The tequila guru gave a witty lecture as we sampled various grades and flavors of Mexico's favorite liquor.👏🏻💯
