Everything about the place was so clean and a great place to relax. However, there was a prevalent lack of staff workers, with a small amount of tables and chairs. Yet, the food was amazing and so flavorful. The waiters in every restaurant and by the pool were so kind and helpful!
5.0 / 5.0
We felt good value for our money here. We spent most of our time at the infinite pool or beach. My son enjoyed the kids club a couple times as well. We ate at omaggie most of our stay for breakfast. It was buffet. Never tried lemongrass because the hours were in the middle of when we wakted to eat. For lunch we were mostly at the infinity pool, so we would order with our server Paco( Francisco) or get tacos from the taco station. The pool menu had a good selection and great food. We tried several different things from there. Dinner we ate twice at the sister resort and two or three times at insu, amd once at mazzomare. All of the food we had was excellent, except the mexican restaurant at Emotions. It lacked a good selection and wasnt that great in taste.
We attempted a show at emotions one night for fiesta night, but we left after 20 minutes. Emotions pool is open way later than distincts. Kids area not that gre
Our room was the most basic room of king with a balcony, but it was awesome. It had 2 full bathrooms, washer and dryer, kitchen, dining room table, living room, and seperate bedroom.
Staff was all super friendly. They all worked hard to keep the grounds clean and well maintained. We did get approached by our conceirge lady about the membership several times, which annoyed my husband, but after reading reviews it wasnt really a surprise. I warned him.
It was a prefect place to have a nice relaxing vacation, even with a five yesr old. We would stay here again.

We had an absolute wonderful time at the Marival. It was beautiful, the food was amazing, and the staff was more than accommodating. Felix by the pool was great and very personable to interact with every day! We would totally go back and stay at the Marival the next time we visit Puerto Vallarta!

5.0 / 5.0
Marival Distinct was wonderful. My family of four (2 kids, 2 parents) usually go on summer vacation and we have been to a lot of resorts in Mexico. Marival Distinct didnt disappoint! The room was beautiful. Laid out like a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo so it was perfect for our family. The food was good especially at Lemongrass and Mozzamare. Omaggio missed the mark on a few plates. The view at Insu is amazing. The wait staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our vacation and have zero complaints. Well, except the persistent timeshare invitation. If you are not interested in a timeshare, make sure you say no to the breakfast, jetski and anything else they offer you during check in. Happy travels!!!

I had a great experience!!!!! The only problem was Felix he seemed to be very racist within his own race. Other than that everyone was so nice and great and very welcoming will definitely be going back!!!
5.0 / 5.0
We loved this property. The only thing i would recommend for anybody is make sure you arrive close to 3 or after. Check in is 3:00 and they are not very lenient on that. So its a long time to wait if you arrive in the morning. Or make sure you have a swimsuit easy to access. The food is excellent. Service was a little slow at some restaurants but its not a big deal. Just don't be trying to rush to be somewhere. Rooms were clean and large. The beach was beautiful. Will definitely come back.

I love the property, but I am disappointed because I have brought friends with me on 10 different stays and not once has it been acknowledged.
5.0 / 5.0
Incredible staff, Incredible food, incredible service, incredible room. I am not a 5star traveler, I am not one of the rich or famous, but I have traveled the world enough to know quality and value. You get both and more at Marivals Distinct Luxury Residences.

Overall it is a nice hotel but wouldnt stay there again. Food is average . Service is ok. Rooms are a but outdated. 10 min walk to ocean. Its more like a 4 star experience.

This place is not a place you want to stay if you are looking for relaxation. The staff is rude and they do you offer any type of customer service. They are not friendly and have many hidden charges.
As soon as you think you have dodged the time share promoters at the airport wait until you check in. They sit you down and try to sell you on their property for over an hour. Imagine this after a long flight you can't wait to get into your room, you are greeted by a staff to sell you time share.
I don't recommend this place. To top it off their food options is a joke. You might have better luck at their sister property at emotions but it's not much better.
3.0 / 5.0
The check in process was frustrating. They treat things as if it is a timeshare. They hold your room key and pass you off to multiple people who are trying to sell you on a membership (basically a timeshare). The expectations for tips was excessive and in your face. The resort itself is small. There was no daily entertainment, no decent kids activities, and food service was unpredictable on time. One dinner took over an hour to be brought out. The a/c in our room didn’t work well. We will not be staying at a Marival resort again.

3.0 / 5.0
Checkin - the process is annoying as you have to sit and wait. They wanted us to sign up for the sales pitch for the property.
Room. It’s muggy in the room and the a/c is not great. We didn’t see bugs but my husband had bites all over his legs. The rooms were very good though our soaking tub was not cleaned upon arrival.
Food. The food was fairly good. Minus the mosquito in my kid’s pancake. there are only 2 places for breakfast and everything is a wait. It was impossible to get food service at the pool or beach. You cannot wear beach attire to the beach restaurant.
The alcoholic drinks were sooo diluted. I watched the bartenders repeatedly make the drinks and they were skimping on the alcohol. The blended drinks were the worst.
There are two other restaurants you have to pay to use. Do not. It was essentially the same food you could get in the other “included” restaurant.
Amenities. Aside from the pool, there is not much. The fitness center is okay but the hours are limited as it is housed within the same building as the spa. So you have to go through the spa to use. They also would not let my teenager use the fitness center even while I was there.
Some staff were friendly and prompt but most were not. They seemed very unhappy to be there and one woman had a black eye which was unsettling.

It’s been our 7th visit. First time we felt that we’ve been somewhat economized on.Omagio restaurant turned into buffet for breakfast vs menu. For three nights we were torched with Mexican food while other choices were limited. Guys on beach always super helpful super service there. We’ll come again for sure just having a perspective of 6th past trips certain things discerned above were unexpected.
3.0 / 5.0
Not your typical “all inclusive” resort and far from “luxury” experience.
4.0 / 5.0
Food was just okay overall. Kids playground and pool could’ve been more fun. Childcare was not as good as other resorts I’ve been to.
1.0 / 5.0
We booked an “ocean view suite” the room we got faced the pool and had a little glimpse of the ocean above the palm trees”. Incredibly misleading
Our room had multiple issues.
The door handle to the bedroom was broken, my wife locked herself in the room and couldn’t get out. Toilet did not flush, sinks were clogged. We had to get maintenance perform work for 2 hours in our room.
The front concierge lady may be the rudest staff person on the resort. She has glasses with strawberry blonde hair. Regardless of what you ask she responds in a condescending tone and constantly interrupts you.
She first booked us a restaurant located on an entirely different resort. Surprised, we jumped in their shuttle and got dropped there. After walking through the 2nd resort to get to this restaurant we were denied entry because I did not have closed toed shoes. I was extremely annoyed, coming all this way with a toddler and my wife. Not once were we informed of the foot ware code by concierge at booking.
Same lady booked us dolphins tour. She made a mistake on the dolphins as well by double booking us then speaking to my wife aggressively about getting the “2nd white slip back” which we never received.
We booked massages at the spa for 85 minutes. Instead, My wife got a 70 minute massage and I received a 65 minute massage. this ended with an apology and a partial refund. Incredibly dishonest and misleading. Checkout day they made a mistake on charges.
This is not a 5 star resort!!!

The property is delightful but spoiled by a large group of teenagers from Colorado who were extremely loud and shouting at 2am every morning keeping us awake. If it wasn’t for that unruly group the vacation would have been delightful.
2.0 / 5.0
So the reason why we came here was because of all the great reviews. I would have to say that the resort is clean. The staff is friendly, but the food is extremely subpar. No matter what restaurant we tried, the food, always disappointed us. The room is spacious however the amenities are also subpar. The shower in the master bedroom, barely had any pressure and was lukewarm at best, I filed the complaint with the front desk and nothing was ever done. We went to the convenience store at the resort to buy some suntan lotion and didn’t check the price, that is our fault, but realized when we got the credit card ping they charge us $40 for a can of suntan lotion, which is outrageous. I think we will try a different different place next time

We liked our room and amenities in general, sleepers would have been a good option. The pools were clean and the service at the pool and beach was excellent. We found the food to be pretty good but the drinks not so much. We had dinner at the Italian restaurant and the food was nice, the service was as bit slow, it felt understaffed. Overall we enjoyed our stay and probably be back.
5.0 / 5.0
Our second time here and didn’t disappoint. Booked a three bedroom residence for 5 adults. Each room was spacious and included a bathroom. Beautiful accommodation. Food and staff were excellent. Pool and beach area were great and the beach restaurant was our favorite to dine at. We enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Great Staff and location is perfect, always felt safe
