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.

Dear guest:
We appreciate the opportunity you give us with your comments, those are the ones that encourage us to continue providing the service that you and your family deserve.
As it happened on your last trip with us, Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel & Mexican Charm offers a unique experience and historical tour of its kind by maintaining the style of an old Mexican Hacienda with the quality and unique service of Buenaventura hotels.
Do not forget to visit us and again give yourself the opportunity to enjoy our 4 restaurants with themed dinners typical of Mexican cuisine and that well-deserved rest in our first level Spa, Piedra Viva.
Thanks once again for your comments, we are at your service.
With pleasure.

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!

Dear guest,
Thank you for choosing our Hacienda as the setting to your getaway. It´s a true shame that we did not live up to your expectactions, as I can deduce by the 3 out of 5 rating you have provided us. It would be of great help to receive your feedback, this way we make our service better day by day.
Once again, thank you, I hope to hear from you very soon.

There is nothing good about this property and is not safe for guests. When we first arrived,there was a chemical odor in our room. Then the shower started bubbling and had the odor of raw sewage. The 5 minute walk to the beach was not safe with the locals harassing you to buy drugs. This hotel needs to be taken off your site because of the inaccurate pictures posted

Estimado Huésped:
Antes que nada recibe saludos de todos los empleados que disfrutamos de trabajar fuertemente cada día en este Hermoso Hotel. Es importante destacar que todos los comentarios de nuestros huéspedes son importantes para nosotros, ya que nos ayudan en la mejora continua.
Decirte que contamos con Certificaciones de Seguridad e Higiene en todas nuestras áreas, los productos que manejamos son precisamente para cuidar la salud de nuestros huéspedes, no obstante lo que mencionas de los olores nos importa mucho por lo que ya hemos revisado los estándares de limpieza en nuestras habitaciones, solo para confirmar que todo está dentro de los parámetros establecidos.
Me llama mucho la atención que te expreses de esa manera de los “locales” ya que no somos delincuentes, en puerto Vallarta nos destacamos por nuestra amabilidad, honestidad, cordialidad y calidad en nuestros servicios hacia nuestros turistas, somos una de las ciudades más amigables y seguras en el mundo, nuestro hotel hospeda más de 300 huéspedes diariamente y la mayoría se siente muy segura tanto dentro, hacia el club de playa y en la ciudad, lamento que tu experiencia difiera de la mayoría de nuestros huéspedes.
Cordialmente,
