Top Colonia 5 de Diciembre Hotel Reviews

Hilton Vallarta Riviera All-Inclusive Resort, Puerto Vallarta

10/10 Excellent

"When checking in, we didn't realize we had booked an ENCLAVE room which came with a private check-in on one of the top floors. Check-in was a breeze and the staff at the lounge were great. While we waited for our luggage to arrive to our room, we went off to one of the walk-in restaurants on site since we hadn't ate yet. Food was decent. The best spot on the resort was CocoMar. Aside from the food, the pool was great (heated) so it was easy to get in and enjoy without the fear of that ice cold water hitting your body. We also took a dip in the ocean and that was also warm which we weren't expecting. Overall our family enjoyed the location and would come back again."

Hotel Riu Palace Pacifico - Adults Only - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean, the staff were very helpful, the food was very good. Avoid the Steakhouse restaurant - the reservation was incorrect and the hostess was rude and said it was out fault; disregarded our food allergy (would have had a medical incident had we not double checked with the server); and the steak was bad (took only two bites and left the rest). The other restaurants were very good and the staff were very good."

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta All Inclusive & Spa

8/10 Good

"The patios were gross with bird poop and debris. The rooms were nice ac cold beds very comfortable. Staff was very nice and helpful. Buffet was very well stocked and great gluten free options including some of the best banana bread ever gluten free or not. Late night music and noise from neighboring rooms vie tv sharing walls can be problematic. All in all good stay. Being off season not sure what it would be like during prime time. We loved the old Fiesta adult only property sure wish they didn’t sell to Hilton"

Canto del Sol Puerto Vallarta All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed the proximity to town and to the airport. We also liked the variety of dining options, including the snack bar and the cevicheria. The facility was clean, the pools were great, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The room A/C worked well and the beds were relatively comfortable. We didn’t use the tennis courts but they looked great and are in excellent condition. We particularly liked the Italian à la carte restaurant. Our room was very clean but could use some upgrading/maintenance. We appreciated having a balcony to dry wet swimsuits. The beach is narrower than in Nuevo Vallarta but is sandy and there are loungers. Unfortunately there are no palm trees for shade, and beach umbrellas are only available for rent from 3rd party vendors. The beach drops off after a few feet and has a bit of an undertow, but the water is clean and we still enjoyed the waves. There are lots of umbrellas around the pool areas. We liked the whole experience overall and felt it was good value. I would suggest that the hotel advertise the evening entertainment more and put a clearer description in the guest program because it was quite good but not well-attended other than the Disney night. The cevicheria also could use more highlighting because it is a very nice feature of this hotel, and the tostadas were delicious. Special thanks to the omelette station staff, Guadalupe in the buffet, and to Daniel in the pool area, but all of the staff were great."
