We liked the size of the facility with fewer rooms. I was very pleased on arrival, when the young woman checking us in, noticed that I walk with a cane and she went out of her way to ensure a room for us on the first floor so that I would not have to climb 3 flights of stairs. The pool and surrounding area were beautiful, with plenty of lounge chairs, and the grounds were impeccably manicured. The staff, from, Housekeeping to Wait Staff to Bartenders, worked diligently to ensure the vacationers were satisfied. I had attempted to contact the hotel before leaving home to ask them about the foods that might be available for me, as I have a gluten allergy. I didn't get a response, before we left, and there were very few options that I could eat. I got the impression no one had heard of Gluten Free before and when I spoke with staff about it, it seemed they had no idea what I was talking about. Considering the number of people who maintain a Gluten Free Diet, perhaps some education on special diets may be advisable. Our only other issue was with the number of smokers, around the pool, that did not go to designated smoking areas. The Beach Club with full bar and snack bar were satisfactory and although they had a shuttle every 15 minutes, it was only a short walk from the Hotel. If we were going to holiday in PV again, we would still consider Hacienda Buenaventura & Mexican Charm.

Best was the old charm and the Mexican theme, not just a concrete block. A short walk form their own private beach club meant access to the beach, with food and drinks galore. All inclusive was good, food was different every day, I did not get bored of it. The most positive is the people that clean, serve, help. They are the next! Live music every night as well.

Mr. Thomas, we feel fortunate to have hosted your vacations!
It is apparent that you were able to enjoy most, if not all, our services.
Thank you for making Hacienda Buenaventura your setting to your all-inclusive relaxed vacation. We hope all your fantastic memories entice you to return very soon to our Charming spot in Mexico.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The resort is old and needs updating but I was ok with it. The pool was nice too. I liked the private beach but you had to walk a couple of blocks to get there. The room did not have a frig, coffee maker or microwave probably because it’s an all inclusive resort but it would have been nice to at least have a frig and coffee. Overall my stay was enjoyable but I’m on the fence about returning there.

My 7th time here. Normally amazing food, service and cleanliness. This time. Hot food was cold and flavorless ( went to bed hungry 5 out of 8 nights!) and Christmas Eve dinner was probably the most u safe thing I have seen since this pandemic started. The people were still amazing and if I ever come back will only be because of them. My moms room (2nd) has mold going up the walls(I’ll try to upload pics if it will let me. But I’ll definitely not recommend or be back until there is a new chef!!! No way. No how. No thanks

Treatment by Staff could not be better. The food and beverages were very good. Our departure flight was delayed and we were welcomed to hang out at the Hotel after checking out.
My only complaint. Be aware of night temperatures for your vaca. There is no heat in the rooms. The thermostat has a heat setting but it only blows COLD air, if air doesn't blow, humidity rises. You can get extra blankets. Staff reply "This is PV, no heat"

I have nothing negative to say about this resort EXCEPT that the wifi barely reaches your room... However, the wifi in the rest of the resort is fine (and if you're that worried about having wifi when you're on vacation you're doing it wrong ;)). 2 friends and I stayed here in mid March and our experience was great. We arrived a few hours before check in so they let us place our bags in a room and change so we could relax at the pool until our room was ready. All of the workers were very kind and fun, always bringing us drinks with a smile. We actually had the same woman waiting on us at the beach the next day that we did at the pool the first day and she remembered us and what we were drinking. The rooms were clean, the staff were friendly, the resort itself is very quaint and cute, feels like a genuine Hacienda. The food definitely wasn't amazing, but still was always satisfied (the enchiladas at dinner are great!) . There's live performances every night and they always have discounts for things around town (discounted tickets to Señor Frogs foam party for example). We plan to return to the same resort this year as our experience genuinely blew our expectations out of the water. Also met a group of people our age while we were there as well and made some great friends! The beach is a short walk from the resort and downtown is a cheap Uber away (usually about $3). This place rocks!
