Well I looked at very single resort in Puerto Vallarta as this was going to be a trip of the year for me, my 80 year old parents and my sisters. I selected the Buenaventura Grand Hotel and Spa due to the photos and the travel Agent at travelsolution.com and vallarta.com. The food made us all sick multiple times, the... more

This was our fourth stay at Buenaventura. I found the rooms clean, Large flat screen TV. The employees are friendly and they go out of their way to be of assistance. We hope to return in November when the wales are there. If you have any questions or observations, I found that the manager Mr. Poil will go the extra... more

Sorry it’s taken me so long to post my review. I relied heavily on trip advisor when booking my week in PV so I feel I owe it to Trip Advisor to post a real review. Remember that this hotel is a 3.5 Star not a 5 Star like some people expected. What I loved: LOCATION!! This hotel is a... more

The hotel seemed like a gateway from the business of downtown to the relaxing beach and ocean. We reserved the honeymoon suite with ocean view and even though there was some confusion at the desk, we were able to get our room without much hassle. The room was small but very nice, with a decorated canopy bed and jacuzzi bathtub... more

My fiance and I stayed at the Buenaventura on the 18th of May and we left on the 20th. The location was perfect because it was right in downtown Puerto Vallarta. The only problem you will have is during check in. We reserved a honeymoon suite and was told it would be ready when we get there. We got to... more

The staff there is great. However they lie about having 7 restaurants. The food is horrible. The location is wonderful . We stayed in the honeymoon suite which was nice. However the Tv didn't work 1/2 the time. The stereo was a mess. The room was nice and clean and the minibar was stacked all the time. I wouldn't stay... more

I know, the pictures look amazing. I researched many of the hotels in Puerto Vallarta and after reading endless reviews on Trip Advisor, we decided on the Buenaventura. The one and only good thing about this hotel is the location. It is very close to downtown. The pictures look very nice I will admit it. The hotel staff is far... more

My fiance and I booked a stay at the Buenaventura in Puerto Vallarta for May 8th through May 13th of this year. We wanted to try an all-inclusive experience, versus staying some place we knew would be great. What a mistake that was! When we checked in, there were no beverages available in our mini-bar (which was part of the... more

The background: thirtysomething couple, no kids, went to PV to get married. So, we did get married at the hotel and they took care of things nicely(flowers,judge,suite,dinner,weather) so if you have more ?? about that let me know. We were there for 10 days in the top floor Honeymoon suite, the best room in the joint with the highest balcony... more
