Find a cheap Hotel in Downtown Puerto Vallarta

"Location is amazing! For the price of this resort, if you wanted to you can go and enjoy the food on the marina. Close to the Walmart, marina, coffee shops. Art walk is on Thursdays but it is very busy! Your 5 minutes away from the airport which we found was a huge benefit. Food was okay. They have a cook making fresh food every evening if you don’t want anything from the buffet. The Fish House has amazing food! Mole and tacos is okay. Breakfast at Mole and Tacos is nice. For how busy the pool was, it was never dirty! The snack bar at the pool was good sometimes they had tacos. The service is phenomenal at this resort! The lobby bar is amazing, not one bartender struck out to me being better, they are all great! I recommend getting the Meliá app and using the amenities request link for different pillows and a duvet. The beds are not super comfortable. The rooms are clean and pretty standard. This resort is dated for sure but everything else made up for it. I would like to note that I would never stay at this resort without the premium bracelet because premium gives you a lot of perks and is totally worth the extra money. It is a family friendly resort but I never noticed it to be overflowing with kids. There is so much for families to do at the resort no one would be bored. There is live entertainment in the evenings which we never watched. The are pool tables, ping pong, kayaking, mini golf, games, volley balls to borrow, and much more! "

"Loved it! Riu never disappoints."

"Great location and wonderful staff"

"Very friendly staff. Plenty of pools so never crowded. There was a shuttle that also takes you to a private beach. "

"Very nice stay , customer service was 10/10 . "

"The restaurants were the only issue. You can’t make reservations, which is fine, but if you don’t show up within the first hour of them opening to get on the wait list, you won’t be eating. With that being said, it was the week of Christmas so maybe it’s not normally this way. "
