    Even though it is smaller then other resorts, it offered everything that we were looking for. Very satisfied with the hotel and staff. The food was very... good in all the restaurants and buffet. Nice sized pool, big enough for lap swim, and good sized beach, great location, close to town and marina. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. We will go back. by a Hotels.com guest on 03/25/12

    Friendly Vallarta Beach Resort & Spa All Inclusive North Hotel Zone

    A short guide to North Hotel Zone

    Large resorts dominate the Hotel Zone, arguably the center of Puerto Vallarta tourism. This area includes the Maritime Terminal, where cruise ships dock. Across the street, visitors can see authentic bullfights at La Paloma Bullring. Like its southern half, the North Hotel Zone’s main attraction is the crescent-shaped bay. Water sports are in abundance, as are restaurants, bars, and shops.

    Had a wonderful stay at Friendly Vallarta! The staff was amazing - truly the friendliest, most high quality staff I have experienced in Vallarta. They were always smiling and seemed really happy to be there. The hotel room was clean and spacious and the view was spectacular. Good food, beautiful grounds and a nice beach. We really enjoyed the adult […] relaxation pool which they had added since the last time I visited. Overall, a great experience! Read more

    There is only one thing that i can say about necessary improvements at The Friendly Hola- I find the beds uncomfortable. I think they are too hard or maybe spring type mattresses- but my back was killing me. I think it would be a great idea if the Friendly Hola could get some new beds that are comfortable- other than that I LOVE everything about the […] Hola and will continue to go back year after year as All the good things out way the uncomfortable beds! Everything else is PERFECT and I love the people who work there and they are like family!!!!! WE LOVE THE FRIENDLY HOLA!!!!!!!!! Read more

    We took our family of adult children to the Hola in December 2010, and enjoyed it so much my husband and I returned in March, 2011. The best part of the Hola is the staff. Be sure you bring a copy of your reservation email along. If you have that, you can check in in record time! If your room is not ready, you can change in the spa and spend the day […] on the beach until it is. The staff is second to none. Drinks are okay. Food is better than what we've found in other A-I's. Centrally located...a quick trip to old town or the marina. Ignore everyone in the airport. If you walk out to the street, you can get a cheaper cab. Otherwise, it's almost three times as much to the Hola from the airport than it is to get back. Tip the staff at the Hola. Many work for only a few dollars US per day, so tips are essential for their survival. Look up Abraham on the beach and he'll gladly bring chairs, cushions, umbrellas, and tables. Waiters will bring you food and drinks on the beach. My husband and I and several friends plan to go back in December for our 30th wedding anniversary. You can definitely find nicer rooms in Mexico, but we go to the room only to shower and sleep so rooms make no difference to us. The people make this resort, and PV weather is always the same. BORING. :-) Sunny, warm, and fantastic every day. You should go there!!! Read more

    I have been to PV many times but my husbands first time. The hotel was very welcoming with the perfect lobby to even watch football on sunday. Rooms were very clean and convenient to access. The whole staff was friendly and just so happy and a pleasure to be around. Even excellent service on the beach. The waiter was always getting fresh drinks. The […] shows were OK and the food was good with limited selection. Some dancing in the evening in the lobby. We enjoyed our stay and would go back. I am returning next year with teenagers but not booking there as the hotel had older vacationer. Thank you Friendly Hola for my another vacation to PV perfect. Read more
