The property is very well maintained and small. The staff are delightful and the beach service is very good. The food is OK but it could be more refined. The options get a bit boring if you are staying for a week or so and the quality could be higher.

The food and service at this resort are absolutely amazing. We didn’t eat a single thing we didn’t like. I read reviews about the beach being a long walk away and was concerned about that but it’s not a long walk at all. If you can’t make the short walk they do have a shuttle but I found it to be a very pretty pleasant 3 minute walk. Highly recommend this resort. The large spacious rooms are incredible as well.

Super clean and exceptionally well maintained. The staff is very kind and welcoming. The food in all the restaurants was outstanding. By far the best Mexico experience we had. The only improvement that could be made is to make the jacuzzis available to kids because you can’t use the jacuzzi if you have to leave your kid unattended elsewhere.

Review for Marival Distinct, Puerto Vallarta – 4 out of 5 Stars Overall, it was a delightful experience. While the check-in and check-out process was a bit slow due to ongoing construction, the staff was incredibly friendly. The accommodations were impressive and truly met expectations for this price point. The rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and offered stunning views of the ocean. The food was enjoyable, with a variety of dining options available on-site. However, I would recommend venturing outside the resort to explore local eateries, especially if your stay extends beyond four nights. While the on-site dining is solid, trying different menus can add some much-needed variety. What truly set this experience apart was the exceptional service. From the front desk to the dining, pool and beach staff, everyone was attentive and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. While there are many other options in the area, I would definitely consider returning to for another stay. It was a relaxing getaway with excellent service and quality accommodations made it a memorable trip.

Nov ‘24 there is construction of the main lobby; check in happens in little room to the side and gets terribly crowded. There are very few restaurants but the biggest inconvenience is that the hotel is NOT ON THE BEACH, it takes a long walk to get to the beach assigned to the property.
