A great deal with quality you would expect from a Westin

Reviewed Aug 21, 2021
This resort has a great location, right on the beach, a couple of blocks to the marina and only 5 minutes from the airport. It has tennis courts, kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, clean fitness center with lots of equipment, and pools - all included in the daily resort fee of $20/day (above room price). The pools have tiles in shallow water contoured to the body so you can lay down with your head elevated and cool off in the sun. There is also a spa although prices are about 3-4 times higher than neighboring spas on the Marina - you are likely paying for the ambience. Extremely friendly and helpful service - only minor complaint is that check-in service, for me, was super slow. Wonderful prices on food and drink including a 2 for 1 happy hour at the beach bar 5:00-6:00 (on already cheap drink prices) and very reasonably priced room service. Guest rooms are very spacious, including a large bathroom with bathtub and shower. Outdoor balconies with view of the ocean, mountains and pools below. Comfortable bedding, ceiling fan (in addition to A/C), fridge, in-room safe, marble tiled flooring, and a nice additional of lavendar oil to rub on neck and temples before going to bed. Only misses in room were no coffee maker (there is a cafe selling Starbucks downstairs), no glasses (maybe COVID protocol), no pencil/pen or paper. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT - I accidentally left $60 USD on the bathroom counter before leaving for the day (I meant to bring it along) and when I returned it was all there, untouched, after housekeeping came in. They could have taken even one of the $20 but did not. This speaks volumes to the trustworthiness of the staff. I highly recommend this resort which could provide you with all of your needs if you decided you did not want to leave!

We chose to stay at the Westin in Puerto Vallarta for our 1 year wedding anniversary. We had seen pictures online of their restaurants and amenities but due to COVID, they had a shortage of staff. Some restaurants and bars were not open at all and the food was not at the highest standard, so we had to look for restaurants outside of the resort to dine.

Our room was nice but the price was overrated for the quality of the room. Our room was adjacent to a couple with a little baby (bad move from the hotel to make this type of room assignment - we were there to relax and enjoy a good time and the crying baby made it harder. We had been staying at the hotel for a week and a half when the other family arrived). Not blaming the couple next to us because that is just a small baby but the hotel should have made a better room assignment.

What we will never forget is the accommodation of the pool manager Jesus (thank you for making us feel safe in a crowded space during this difficult time) and of Manuel (the activity/sports guy). Manuel was an amazing person and very welcoming. It was great to see such a friendly face every day by the pool!!
A special thank you to Yesenia and Carlos (pool servers) for taking such great care of us and our little puppy.

Overall it was an enjoyable experience. A little disappointed due to the mishap with the room and the baby and the lack of restaurants and food, but it was compensated by the friendly staff.

Unlike the la concha (puerto Rico), this hotel welcomes loyal Marriott members. There were so many great staff members including Lillian, Manuel, Yessina, just to name a few, who made us feel welcome at this beautiful property. While we had some issues with water leaks, which were also present unfortunately at one of their great restaurants, the hotel took great steps to help us. The food was also perfect. The ceviche was perfect. We will be back.

Room tip: Bring bug spray.

The stay was good, we had an issue with house cleaning but it was cleared up by Mr. Jesus quickly because of COVID you have to inform them at check in that you want room cleaned every day. The ocean view was nice. The beds were very comfortable. The restaurant food and service were awesome. Everyone was kind and helpful. The man directing the pool activities was friendly and enthusiastic. The COVID-19 testing onsite was quick, easy and efficient
Overall, a pleasant stay in a good hotel with great friendly service and fantastic food.

We stayed at the Westin for 6 nights. We really enjoyed the hotel, room, great service, and wonderful food. I will definitely come again. The pool is warmer than expected but not a deal breaker. The location is great to Uber anywhere in PV. And easy to take walks to the Marina. Really enjoyed our stay!

AWESOME STAFF and AMAZING SERVICE. From the time we booked to the day we depart the service was spot on. There was never a moment where the service was missed. It was so nice to see people back at work and people traveling again. I know too well how the pandemic negatively affected everyone but seeing the reopening of services back at this hotel made me smile. Breakfast was amazing, the beach was awesome and the staff made the difference. A special thanks to Fernanda, Lia, Pedro ( who we love and appreciate always) and Josefina. Another special mention is to Daniela (omelette queen), Simon, Juan-Carlos; they made the restaurant experience fabulous. Thanks to the entire Management team for making your team feel special and cared for; they made us feel the same way. THANKS.
