Buenaventura Grand Hotel & Spa Category 5 stars

Most relaxing Hotel. Close to everything and the waiters are the best. Forty Five of us go every year and meet the people again, we met there the year before.

My family had stayed at this hotel for a week 2 years ago and the place was awesome! Last year when we went to Puerto Vallarta we stayed at the Plazza Pelicanos, which was also very nice. We walked into the Buenaventura and the renovated the whole place including the rooms. We liked it the way it was before they renovated it but it was very nice when we went in. When we arrived home from the Pelicanos, we looked how much it would cost for us to return to the Buenaventura. In my opionion, it is way too expensive to return back to the Buenaventura. If they lowered the price, my family and myself would return in a hartbeat!

We are a muture couple and decided to spend our honeymoon in Mexico. I had not been in Mexico for 35 years and our overall experience was first class at the Buenaventura. We chose the European plan as we did not want to be tied to the hotel for our meals. Easy walking distance to the Malecon and the inumerable restaurants in Puerto Vallarta.We will be back very soon.

Me and my sister stayed at buenaventura for the second year from jan.5 to the 19. We loved it the staff is amazing. We espacially had fun with Alex from the activity center. We had trouble with our toilette one night they sent someone right away. The food is good there's something for everyone. Great location for a younger crowed cause you can walk back to the hotel every night after clubing.

My family and I were there for the week of jan/05 to jan/13. We had the greatest time we were treated just great. There was a group of about 23 or 24 of us all. My favorite person was Fernado he was just the faboulous. The people selling on the beach were very nice also.

I really liked Rodger if some one could email me his and fernado's addresses I would like to send them a gift from Canada.I have recemmeded this hotel to everyone I see. And if you ask Fernado I have a loud mouth (haha). The GREATEST PLACE TO BE.Highly recemmeded.

We stayed the 1st week of Deccember while still under renovations, but despite that it was wonderful. The staff were amazing and the location was perfect. It was great being able to walk into the city but get away from it all by the beach.

One quick tip: If they put you in a street facing room ask for a better room. They do this as a holding period so they can clean you a new room. If you don't ask you won't get a better view. Make sure you ask politely.

This hotel is fantastic, open air foyer, large pool, roof top hot tub, clean rooms, great maid service and the people are amazing. They remember our names even when we haven't been for two years. I have been here with my mother, brother, husband etc and continue to return. I have never participated in the all inclusive (and never had to wear a braclet as commented above)

Highly recommend if you are looking for an affordable beach front resort minutes from the best restaurants and Malecon.

We have stayed her 3 times and wouldn't stay anywhere else. Awsome atmosphere and the people are great. It's like one happy family.

I have been going to PV every year for the past 5 years and stay at the Buenaventura becuase of the friendly staff and location. Nothing fancy this hotel, but clean and good food with smiles all around is what I look for. The bar under the hottub is the best. Staff are great and entertaining. Nicholas, Victor and Carlos take care of you. I like that these men remember your name and your drink each evening. I have gone In April, July and now in October of 2007 and have stayed at this hotel all three times.
