We found the resort to not be as advertised. The staff was very good, but the accommodations were lacking.

The air conditioning did not work the entire time we were there. We had to go outside in the heat and humidity because it was cooler than our room. Only two of the eight electrical outlets worked in the room, The plug would either not go in at all, or it would fall out of the outlet. The day we arrived, we could not use the pool because someone had pooped in it. The rest of the week we didn’t go in the pool because they looked dirty. The staff was friendly and very helpful. I would not recommend anyone staying at this resort.

I like the price of the hotel. I needed a hotel room not too expensive because I only needed it for one night as I already had reservations somewhere else for the rest of my trip. The price and hotel description of Villa Varadero met my criteria. The hotel would benefit from a touch up, a renovation. The elevator is old, and it made a scary noise as it was moving. The towels were clean, but they were stained. The breakfast buffet had plenty of options to choose from, but the quality and flavor of the food was not the best. My daughter and I didn’t eat our food. The staff was friendly, and the service they provided was good. Thank you!

The location is excellent, bar service is good at the pool, very limited choice of drinks. Food is good enough to get by but far from excellent. The building is dated, ac in bedroom didn’t work, toilet plugged the first two days, lights are poor, only one plug in in the bedroom, cockroach’s in our sink and under fridge, key cards quit several times. I would probably look for another place rather than stay there again.

Old building very tired and double beds too small. Food choices limited and food was medicore. Cheap liquor with minimal choices and no good. Beer was good. Construction on pool while there but was not informed. Pools too small. Staff were friendly and good to deal with. No nightly entertainment. Won't be back. Stayed 1 week late Feb 2024.

Nice beach and nice location.

The property is very tired. The rooms almost shabby and skeevy. Pictures on Expedia look nothing like what property is today. Pool under reconstruction!! Really unappealing. Thank goodness the staff was helpful and friendly.

The beds were clean but our bathroom had a nasty leak in the ceiling above the toilet that they used towels to catch the drip and mold. We read reviews ahead of time and were not expecting a 4 star however every thing you read about is true. Jackhammering the pool for days on end. The constant loud music until after 11pm at night. They say 10:30 is quiet time but I laid there with my head between two pillows looking at my phone at 11:07 and music was still pumping. This is definitely a hotel meant for families with kids. It’s not a couples get away. Food was…okay. The staff was amazing. They tried their best to accommodate you in any way possible, no complaints there. Drinks, plain and simple suck!!

*The beds are very small for a 6'3" person to sleep comfortably in. *A lot of the beach chairs are too light duty as they "fold up" when you sit in them, the rear legs bend out and make for an uncomfortable sitting position,..I personally stacked 2 chairs up and sat on those as they hold their shape then. *food was fine, as are the options to enjoy them in. *The al-a-cart diner was great!....the only issue there was that at first they didnt want to allow my youngest grandson to be able to attend dinner with us as he is less than 11 years old..I said i'm not going to force any family member to sit in the room while we eat....much less a little boy.. You do need to work on that detail as it almost ruined our dinner night. *The beach I think is far superior to what we have experienced at Puerto Vallarta across the river! * *Nearness to several local excursions based out of the marina ans well as restaurants in that area too. **Overall it was a very enjoyable trip**

Great beach. Suite furniture is dated (should be upgraded). Issues with door lock had to try opening several times before it would open. Room next door. Had the same issue

In 3 days we moved to 3 different rooms. From loud music, non working refrigerators and brown bath water it was not our favorite stay.

Lot's of appliciances or other things were broken or needed maintainance. Staff was very friendly but some bar tenders were quite inexperienced and sometimes quite tired. Rules were never enforced. Rooms didn't have good noise (and smell!) insulation. The live music was not to our taste and very loud. Lot's of noises in general (from playgrounds, etc). Beach was very nice when people there followed the rules. It seems like their target audience is mexican families from the rural areas. Experience was not comfortable for people coming from up north.

We left after one hour. Though on the top floor , we heard music and voices and all manner of nonsense the entire hour. Not to mention that we were given room 2700 which I'd directly beneath the mechanics for the lift/elevator. So each time someone used the lift it sounded like someone was banging on the wall when we asked to change rooms, the receptionist shrugged his shoulders and decided he suddenly had no more rooms, despite having clearly had many at check-in. They will force you to wait for a bell boy to arrive rather than give you your room key. Despite having made it clear we had an hour to eat, he still made us wait until my sister said, no we aren't waiting. We can find a room. Terrible. We left after we a

BE WARNED! If you book here; this resort caters to Spanish speaking locals only, we took our family of 6 & were the only,non locals at the resort. Not one guest spoke English. A few staff members spoke limited broken English, however all signs at the resort other than emergency signage were in Spanish, including food/menu items were in Spanish only. The room smelled of urine and had mold all over the bathroom. Housekeeping services were terrible and only cleaned the floor once in 7 days and did not empty garbageor clean the bathroom or sink once. The food was terrible, practically inedible if not for the salad, which we are all week. Our kids barely ate anything. Oh yeah and they have no glassware at the resort so be prepared to be given a plastic cup that you write your name on in Sharpie and carry everywhere if you want a drink. And if you lose your cup amongst the thousand other matching cups people are carry around, be prepared to pay out of pocket for a replacement. We were completely bamboozled by the Expedia and Villa Veradero websites, which are written and described all in English. None of the promises made claiming, “friendliest resort in Nuevo Vallarta”, family friendly, welcoming, fresh satisfying food” excellent cleanliness standards, were even close to true. We subjected to racism, our kids were called names, faced discrimination, we were pointed at and laughed at. It was a joke, what a complete disappointment and absolute waste of hard earned money and time.
