Had another great P.V. vacation. Tried the Crown Paradise last year but way too many small children so thought we would try the Friendly Vallarta. An awesome choice. I've been going to P.V. with my daughters 23, 19 and a friend of there's who's 20 and added my 12 year old to the trip this year. The Friendly had something... More

This was my third stay...and it just keep getting better every year. Noticed that many of the customers were repeat visitors as well (from last year) - tells you something about the place. Staff was awesome- so attentive and friendly! Rooms are clean and spacious. Massages at the Spa are very good. Food was good and the beach is lovely.... More

Stayed here Feb/11, 2 weeks. Good value for the dollar. The only thing that was above average was the outstanding service from ALL that work there.Remember...good value for your dollar means sharing with the PARTIERS and all rooms are adjoined by an inside door...and you can HEAR everything, And share your neighbours legal and illegal smoke. That door and the... More

I was sent here as a good option when I arrived at the bus stop from a long trip from Mazatlan. They told me for $100 a day it was an all inclusive resort. That means all the food and drink , including alcohol and room and entertainment. The resort is in a handy area to everywhere, it has a... More

Truly, the staff makes it what it is! We stayed for 2 weeks and would have easily stayed longer if we could! This time I requested a... More

My boyfriend and I visited Puerto Vallarta for the first time and stayed at Friendly Vallarta Resort. We encountered no problems while we were down there; from check-in to check-out, everything was excellent! Our flights getting into P.V. and leaving were both very early in the morning. We were able to check in right as we arrived at the hotel... More

This was a great one week vacation. We just needed sun, good food, and a beach. Our first room was 3308 in the tower, very noisy from the lobby bar, as the glass ceiling is just above this level. After 3 nights we asked for a move. No problem, we went to room 2519 the north wing. Much quieter, but... More

This was our second trip, we stayed last January too. My husband and I stayed for two weeks from Jan. 21 - Feb 04, 2012. I always enjoy the food here, you can always find something you like. We had the soup everyday, it is the best! We upgraded to a suite, which cost us extra (of course), and it... More
