Canto del Sol Plaza Vallarta Category 4 stars

I have been to Puerto Vallarta about 4 times now, and have never strayed from Canto Del Sol and sister Hotel Villas Vallarta. The staff are amazingly friendly, and I actually stay in contact with some of them even when I return home! Its great to know there will be a friendly face waiting for you when you get off the plane. Food is good, I spend alot of time at the buffet, and being celiac I LOVE IT! There are a lot of wheat free options, and although it is the same chicken beef and fish option every night, they never seem to get old. Its in a great location and you can walk into old Vallarta (if you dont mind the 20 minute walk to the malacon) There are always Taxis near by so wherever you want to go is open to you. If your looking for a super quiet get away head to Villas Vallarta you still have access to Canto but it is smidge quieter.

I absolutly love it at Canto and would recomend it to anyone!!

I would definitely recommend this hotel. the staff are very helpful and anxious to please.

I would like to see a more visible first aid department, with a trained attendant.

I also did not appreciate that little children were allowed in the open air lounge at night.

It would be very nice if smoking customers were seated in a different area, near the open air, and not near those who do not smoke.

We were very impressed with the friendliness of staff. Everyone was incredibly helpful and seem to really enjoy their jobs. The buffett can get old, but there are many excellant dining options in Puerto Vallarta. I was also very impressed at how clean the resort was kept. Everytime I turned around someone was sweeping, mopping or picking up. I will go back.

Our family of 10 stayed for 7 days and it was wonderful. The service was exceptional, the food was fantastic, and the rooms were very comfortable. Can't wait for our next vacation there.

I have been to Canto Del Sol 4 times and am going again this next Jan/08 for 2 weeks!
The rooms are nice, clean...the foods are great and the people who work there are friendly no AWESOME... I will continue to stay there as long as I am going to Puerto Vallarta!
Thanks again everyone Canto Del Sol el Sol

We just got back from Canto dle Sol Plaza Vallarta and were not happy at all. The rooms we had were old and of poor quality with a number of things broken such as the lock on the back sliding door. The food was fair. The biggest problem with the ongoing pests of time share sales people "every time" you went into the lobby. We kept looking for ways to get around them as they just wouldn't take no for an answer. This really wrecked it for me. I was on vacation to relax not to be constantly stressed with sales people! We own 6 time shares and I would not go back to this one nor buy it.

Great air conditioning systems, very appreciated in the summer months. Good service, well kept installations, the taste of the food makes up for the lack of variety. Overall... I loved it!

I was there in the first time for my first vacation in Mexico. Awesome resort with everything just in the minutes. Closed by town, bus station. The staff very nice and friendly. The only thing is too noisy at night. But, well, this is a place for fun. So, I don't mind for once a while. I'm strongly recommend for my friend about this resort.

This hotel is definitely a hotel for young partyers. Hotel lobby bar - uncomfortable seating, very noisy, walk to bar to get your own drink.

hotel room not clean. Hardworking cleaners, but start at one end of hall and clean all rooms with same bucket of water.

Hotel pool too small and a person is unable to swim.

This hotel is old and could use a massive renovation.



Upside poolside entertainment good, night activity show was fun.

All personnel were wonderful.

This hotel was the best. Service was exceptional. The rooms were spotless. Everyone was friendly. Go out the front lobby and shopping and restaurants near by. Out the back and pool and beach area right at your finger tips. The food at the restaurant was a different menu everynight and was very good no complaints. The hamburgers, hot dogs and fries at snack bar were very good. There was activities everyday and entertainment at night. The specialty drinks were the best and the bartenders were obliging and helpful to describe each drink. We intend to go back and stay at this hotel again.
