The hotel did not have hot water during my entire 6 day stay. When I called the day prior to my visit, I was assured that they would have power and hot water. I had a read a review they had lost power and did not have power or not water due to the hurricane. Hotel never addressed it or offered anything for the inconvenience. When I brought it up with the front desk every day, I was told it should be back on that day, which never happened. Very disappointed with the communication during my visit and will never return. It was also very difficult to relax due to the high volume of workers there trying to sell me a time share, massages or drinks. It was beyond excessive.

Great location and nice room. Did not like that you only got free coffee for the first night. There was a nespresso machine in the room as well but no capsules to use. Would have been nice to know it was there in the description and I would have just taken my own capsules.

In my opinion, the staff is always the most important aspect of a resort and having an excellent staff can turn a 2 star resort into a 5 star. In this case, it was not necessary as the hotel and staff were excellent. I had read complaints about construction noise which I did not hear from my room during my entire stay. The servers at the Sky restaurant were great especially Alejandro and Antonio who went out of their way to make me comfortable. I have limited mobility and walk with a cane so the extra attention was a plus for me. The food was good, but have more of a variety would be a plus. While having access to the Mantamar Beach club is a plus, it would have been nice if the Almay had it's own pool for individuals like myself who had trouble climbing the stairs to the Beach Club. Additionally, I would have like to take advantage of the services of the Spa, but unfortunately there was no access to the Spa other than a winding staircase. This was a bit disappointing. However I still would rate this resort a 4 plus even with the lack of access for people such as myself with limited mobility.

The Only reason I Booked this property was its proximity to the beach and the Title of BEACH FRONT EXPERIENCE. I not only did I booked 8 months in advance, I called the property and they told me all rooms were indeed beachfront. I got a room facing another property and a construction site. I told the front desk staff about the issue. The service staff were excellent. Management did not respond correctly and put the blame on Travelocity. My time in Puerto Vallarta for the last 35 years has been wonderful, this time around because of FALSE ADVERTISEMENT and the support of Travelocity I shall never return.
