Vallarta Shores Beach Hotel

We were expecting a typical US suite when we booked this. We were blown away by the property. Separate king-size bedrooms with their own bathrooms, full kitchen, small pool, deck overlooking the beach. It was amazing place and are anxious to stay there again.

This was an amazing property. My only small complaints were that our shower barely drained and the bath towels smelled dingy/not freshly laundered. The pool in our unit was SOOOOO HOT, thus not refreshing, but only mother nature's relentless sunshine caused that issue. Maybe a shade of some sort over the pool can help with that problem, but it didn't make our vacation any less wonderful! The hotel's main pool was nice and cool so we found ourselves there often. The beach was just steps away, which provided a good breeze. Everyone we encountered was very friendly. Dulce' was our chef and was amazing. Every dish she made was perfect! She had fresh guac, pico and margaritas ready for our arrival and I've never tasted better. The views from our balcony were beautiful. We loved watching the sunsets every evening. We walked around every day, enjoying the shops and one night had a great meal at a nearby beach restaurant. We are already looking to return next summer.

Lots to like; the staff was WONDERFUL, extremely helpful! I booked a large suite (2 bedroom, 3 full bath!) that was modern, clean & lovely, but could have used another air conditioning unit, my only feedback!

Staff was very friendly and inviting. Check in with super smooth and efficient.

We just left and let me tell you, we will be back! The location was great, the staff are so friendly, the beach was pretty much ours the whole stay. I could go on and on about Vallarta Shores!
