We brought our 9 year old grandson here for his first airplane ride and naturally, first trip out of the country. We're taking him back in January so thought I'd start checking out some current reviews. The last time, we booked through RCI via one of our other timeshares so we only got a hotel room. No kitchen, no ocean... more

This was my 3rd time at the Mayan Sea Garden. Generally, I don't care so much for staying at big resorts, and the Mayan group at Nuevo Vallarta is a big, huge resort. The Sea Garden is the smallest of the 3 properties there, and it is my favorite. It has a more casual atmosphere than the others. I have... more

We just had a very nice week at the Mayan Sea Garden in Nuevo Vallarta. We stayed the previous week at the Mayan Palace in Nuevo Vallarta and preferred the Sea garden. We are Mayan owners and have been to other Mayan resorts as well. The Mayan Palace sits on a large property and is not for those who do... more

We traded a week with RCI for this stay but own at the Mayan Palace. We now have stayed at the Sea Gardens, the Mayan Palace and the Grand Mayan several times and our favorite is the Mayan Palace. During our week's stay this last time we spent most of our time at the Mayan Palace - walked there in... more

I wanted to write a quick review as some of the previous postings worried me before we left. We visited with friends on an RCI exchange. We only stayed 4 nights as we ended our trip in Sayulita. We were given a beach front suite with a great view (5th floor)...our friends were also on the 5th floor and although... more

Booked this hotel through our membership with Great Vacations Club. The booking procedure was easy and quick, and we did not have any problems checking in. The hotel is small, but it is very clean, open, neat, not crowded. We had a standard room, which was roomy and average. Not too much furniture, and lots of floor space. The room... more

The place is like a retirement home for people who can still walk. The room I got (and I checked over and over for a room with a view of the ocean), had a view of the top of the little grocery store that charges three time or more the prices of any other grocery store. There is only one... more

I made the reservation a year in advance through RCI and I think that helped us get an oceanfront room on the top floor during the week of Christmas 2007 (Dec. 22-29)! We couldn't have asked for a better room or view! We rented a car and had no problems getting around. I cannot say enough about the valet parking... more

We spent from December 15 to December 27 at this resort. It was better than expected after reading some of the reviews. We did not have an ocean view room but our view of the city and surrounding area was beautiful. The staff was helpful at all times and spoke very good English. Our maid did a great job of... more
