Vamar Vallarta Marina & Beach Resort

the problem is not that many staffs speak English and no currency exchange in the hotel. If you know Spanish this is OK

Genuine Expedia guest review

I have worked in hotels and stayed at plenty for my own personal and business travel. This property is a simple all inclusive hotel the staff are very nice. the hotel has a great pool and the rooms are very clean as well as the rest of the hotel. The food at the hotel is ok nothing great but it isn't bad either. The only things I can say is that durning […] the day if you want a drink you need to use the pool bar which is a far walk also they moved meals outside sometimes with out having signs or giving notice to guest. Overall if your looking to get away for a few days this a good spot to save some money. Read more

Hotel staff was great and would go out of the way for our large group. There were a couple bad seeds that treated us okay. The hotel was alright, not the nicest place I've stayed in and not the worst. Vamar is good if your traveling on a budget and want the all inclusive experience.

This hotel seems to be a bit older. For example, the elevator was often messed up. You can tell the railings on the balconies were old. The tiles seemed older. However, our room was clean. The kitchen appeared very old (and smelled old), but we didn't need to use it so we didn't mind much. The bathroom was okay. The beds were clean and comfortable. […] I wish the room was carpeted or at least had rugs. The room service (cleaning) often did not leave enough toilet paper and towels, which would be kind of annoying. The food was good. It tasted good and there was a decent amount of variety. It got annoying when flies or other bugs would get near the food, but it wasn't overwhelming. The view of the marina was beautiful. The staff were AMAZING and welcoming. Overall, I would recommend the hotel. I am hoping that they continue renovations, though. Read more

The hotel is situated perfectley on the marina which has great bars and restaurants, the rooms are pretty good and have great views, however for some reason a third of the room is taken up by a kitchen which might be nice if your were not in an all inclusive facility and in anycase there is not so much as a teaspoon or cup supplied. There are three […] bars two by pools which close at 5pm and one in the main lobby which opens at 6pm and seems to close at about 11.30 if they can get away with it, this bar has no real seating (2 bar stools and 4 double chairs on a higher platform) so not much room for a hotel that possibly holds in excess of a 1000 people. The lobby is open to both sides so it can get breezy and there are no non smoking areas in restaurants or bars, which probably explains why most of the all inclusive guests including myself spend most of thier time (and money) in and around the marina. The main restaurant is on the marina and for the most part is out in the open which is ok if the weather is good, the food at best is average and the y are never ready at the times of opening, it is also plagued with wasps around the serving areas. There is an italian restaurant for which you have to book which is quite nice, but you would not want to eat there every night. ther is also a lack of imformation to be had about aspects and itineries of the hotel and none whatsoever in english, I would not bother again, there are no other facilities that I saw or are worth mentioning Read more

With reasonable expectations, you'll find the Vamar Vallarta (formerly the Embarcadaro# a good choice for Puerto Vallarta. Clean facilities and grounds; easy access to the marina shops & restaurants; tollerable and very affordable bus ride #Mexican Massage) to downtown; very nice primary pool area and just a short walk to access beach and beachside […] pool option; reasonable "inclusive" food & meal options; entertaining views of all types of private vessels entering or leaving the marina; pleasant and accommodating staff; limited language barriers; some "Spring Breakers" in mid February keep things a little lively but, various age groups in overall clientel and everyone was pleasant and for the most part respectfull and any celebratory noise never lasted to late into the evening; good location as a starting point to any other adventures you choose to book. Stayed there the three times we've visited Puerto Vallart. Read more

This resort was clearly going through a transition. The front staff was helpful but could not overcome the limitations of the infrastructure. The rooms were in need of complete upgrades, not the partial upgrades that had been done. We exchanged rooms three times. Once because we wanted to upgrade to a room with a balcony. This was a mistake. Our next […] room smelled of mildew and had no refrigerator where it should have been. We then requested a third room which leaked water from the recessed light in the restroom and there was a tube tv with poor reception in the room. The meals were ok. We opted for the breakfast only and purchased lunch one afternoon. Please avoid this place if you do not want to be harassed by the sales representatives seated in the lobby daily. Enjoy PTO it is a wonderful place to visit. Read more

Not bad but not great. This resort was not up to standards of other Mexican all inclusive resorts. The food/ restaurant selection was not great. Only one a la carte and one small buffet. Beach was okay. Nice view. Staff was friendly but did not go above and beyond to please guests.

So let me preface this with the fact that we were looking for a cheap hotel for a destination wedding we were attending. Also my wife and I are cheap SOB's in nature so when we booked the room rate was $133/night and it was all inclusive. The hotel grounds were very well maintained, they were always cutting grass or cleaning the pool and pool deck. […] The food was actually not bad, we were wishing for a little more authentic mexican food but it was very Americanized in that regard. We ate here most of the time and everything (for the most part) was palatable. Now for the room....right away we walked in and it smelled like an old musty cabin, and this was one of the "renovated" rooms. A/C didn't work right off the bat so we called the front desk on Thursday night and it was fixed by Saturday morning, nice and speedy. The bed was a little too firm for our liking but other than those things it is exactly what we paid for. We just needed a place to sleep and relax at the night time. We spent the majority of our time at the pool utilizing the swim up bar and eating the buffets. If you don't plan on spending your vacation in your room than I'd recommend this hotel, if you are a hotel snob than shy away. Read more

Pros: Very nice location with beach and marina access. Friendly staff. Cons: below average food. Clean but Old Hotel. Small beach. Crowded place. Must get to the restaurant before other guests or they will take your food

Superior Room is questionable. Room fittings did not match picture in lobby. Room was very dated. However it meet our needs and we were surprised it included a full kitchen

We booked this room through Expedia because the price was great and we needed a 1-night stay before going to another resort. When we arrived 2 hours before check-in, the room wasn't ready but they stored our bags and gave us cool drinks. The check-in staff and bellboys were friendly and efficient. The food was just okay. Our room had curtains that you […] couldn't close all the way and I wasn't too crazy about that. The bed was quite firm but the pillows were wonderful! The bathroom was older but clean; however, there was always a smell in there (from the sewer system, I think). This is common in Mexico unless you're in a very new resort. The location is wonderful because you're right at the marina where there are lots of shops, spas, restaurants and places to purchase excursions or fishing trips. Overall, I'd stay there again but probably not for more than a night or two. Read more

Es un hotel bueno, en un muy lindo lugar, haria falta mejorar las habitaciones ( encontre algun insecto en ella ) y mejorar el sector de playa, con baños y o vestuarios.-
