As a member of 8 years, I was been sold on luxury and the promise of a theme park. I've yet to visit this incomplete theme park. It's still in construction. This resort is nice, and there is plenty of room to find a poolside spot or beach seat. The food is sub-par and way overpriced. It takes forever to get anywhere on this resort, and a taxi is 20 to 30 one way to town. The entertainment is sub-par as well. They host various nights at an area called Sanctuary that are quite boring. The sound system is outdated which also takes from the show. There were singers and dancers and it was cheesy and this one guy couldn't hit a note to save his life. Heard better kaeroke than this. We made reservations at their hibachi style dinner and it was way over priced, the food was so basic, and the cook does the same old jokes you get from a 3 star hibachi anywhere. The thing liked the most was room service. They came by and cleaned daily. Resort staff was nice. It's an older resort so there are many areas that need work. It rained alot and there was sheet rock falling off in some areas. Whatever you do dont do the member tour. It will eat up your whole day. The discounts they offer are not worth it. The wave pool and slide were closed half the time we were there. Also the lazy river was closed half the time as well.

A wonderful resort getaway with top notch amenities. Golf, relaxing, great food, and craft margaritas were part of the daily activities. The staff is warm and welcoming!

At High n Low tide, lots of beach to play on, waves are playful, just enough to boogie board surf and family oriented. Sunsets are truely magical. Just a chill beach.

Beautiful paradise. Nature walks on floating paths and amazing pools. Wonderful restaurants. It’s not an “all you can eat” resort but that’s why I go there. Every restaurant has its charm with fine dining. It is not for the middle class, but it IS for upper middle class and above. Super safe. Every single worker and guest goes through an airport security style check prior to fully entering the resort. They give you complimentary airport transportation so no worries there. It’s not a timeshare, but it is a vacation club. I have gladly invested three times; each time upgrading my rooms. I want to spend 4-6 weeks there during the deep freeze of my winter in the U.S. I love that I don’t have to take care of a house in FL for example. Because this is on the Riviera Maya and not in Cancun, you’re only 25 to 40 minutes from the wonderful ecological parks of the Riviera. You have to check this place out. As a cherry on top, Cirque de Soleil is on the property.

The property is rich in color and plant life. The pools are abundant and the collection of Restaurants, well its double digit. Perscisley 30. I've oboe experienced about 6 of the restaurant's. The food is tasty and priced well.

We “won” this Vidanta getaway at a charity auction — and I now believe the real charity would have been people warning us it might be cursed. From the over two-hour check-in (yes, over two hours), to the constant upselling disguised as “upgrading,” our stay was less “luxury vacation” and more “emotional endurance test with expensive snacks.” After being told our hotel selection was “sub-par” (how dare we want what we paid for), we were “upgraded” to a resort property so far away it may as well have required a connecting flight. The shuttles showed up about as often as solar eclipses, so we got to know the property well — mostly by foot. Guests everywhere looked like they were in various stages of regret, or near death. All we heard were complaints from everyone we met, too -- people mostly upset about the high-pressure sales that met us all at every turn. Even the staff, forced to greet you with their hand over their heart like hostages in a luxury-themed cult, couldn’t hide their despair. The food? Mediocre and mysteriously expensive. The gym? A charming 40-minute walk away — nothing says “wellness” like needing a cardio session just to get to your cardio session. Every “event” felt like a prank. Like the “sound healing” session that took place on a cramped bit of grass next to a busy sidewalk with constant construction noise, which I guess added a certain jackhammer chakra realignment vibe. Despite being located on what feels like several thousand acres, there was a rooster crowing 24/7 and a chorus of barking dogs to remind us that peace and quiet were sold separately. The crowning glory of this fever dream was the timeshare salesman who invited himself to breakfast with us and, upon hearing our polite “no” after hours of listening to him, ripped up his papers and had a full-blown tantrum. Nothing says “relaxation” like an adult man throwing a fit because you didn’t want to buy a lifetime of this misery. In summary: If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to spend a small fortune to feel trapped, manipulated, and serenaded by livestock — Vidanta is your place. Would not recommend. Would not return. Would not even wish upon my worst enemy (unless they enjoy construction noise and emotional manipulation).

Nice place to stay and enjoy the mix of luxury and nature. One fellow said "This is like a Jurassic Park resort". Night Par 3 Golf, nice restaurants. Vidanta should take care of the cleaning of the walking path "outside of the property along the Ameca River" Please instruct the children to use their sandals when going to the sea, the sand is always hot, seeing children cry because their feet burn is not pleasant. Better photos of the resort in other reviews.

Small park packed with lots of fun. Food was OK and filled us up. Slides were fast and kids loved them. Did the dolphin swim and got the pics that came out good. All in all had a great day.

The experience is amazing, but the prices for the photos are like way up too high if you from mexico. Amazing service from the photographer Fernanda

Dolphin experience- I contact the company directly and got a better deal. I would suggest that. In addition, I had already seen a lot of people complaining about the cost of the photos; so when i checked in and the lady offered $90 for a package I was sold! In addition we were the only ones in the group that took family photos, which made us stick out, but also felt smarter because we didn’t have just individual photos. It’s about being smart when you book excursions like these 😉. Everyone was super friendly through the park. My daughter got scared at one point and just sat on the sidelines, but because the photographer knew we got the package beforehand she took extra photos with my daughter in it. The trainer was super friendly and accommodating to her fears and the group of people we were with, were also encouraging to her: it was a great experience over all. Other stuff at the park- You should note that if you get the dolphin package, you should remember to do the other activities you get free with it; like zip lining because I didn’t pay attention to the last ride, and we missed out on it. My kids; ages 10-12 had fun going down the slides with the tubes. It was over all a wonderful experience and worth it. Storage locker - You have to put a $50 peso deposit in cash, but they will take any denomination $50 and above and mark it in east their book. It is fully refundable once you return the key; so essentially the locker rental is free.

It was the most amazing time of my life. The Dolphins are very well trained and passive they're no threat at all. It was pretty amazing to be in the water such a big animal. The Dolphins were very gentle and treated all of us with a lot of respect. I was amazed on how strong they were in the water. They pulled us through the water as if it was nothing. I definitely recommend this to anyone that goes to Puerto Vallarta. Like I said it was the most amazing time of my life.

We had a fabulous experience swimming here with the dolphins! The kids loved it and so did the adults. The photos the photographer took are fabulous, but be aware you have to purchase a photo package as you can't bring your camera.

Pepe the Sea Lion was so sweet! He was well behaved very smart! He gave us sea lion hugs and kisses and he even sang for us! Maria and Jessica we’re great handling him with us. They helped us get some great poses for some awesome photos. Miriam was our photographer and she got all the good angles! I’m very pleased with my visit and i highly recommend this excursion. PePe is the cutest!

The dolphin experience was fun. They were very accommodating to our 6 year old who injured himself the prior day and was advised to stay out of water due to his injuries. They made the experience special for him too. We really appreciated that. My complaint is that we spent a lot of money on a picture package and yet I haven't received the email with the pictures. They told us 24 hours but that was July 4th and still no pictures. So I have to sort that out yet. They also decided to take a picture with a sea lion which of course wasn't part of the almost $200 I spent on a picture package. I felt annoyed by that with the amount I spent and they wouldn't slip in 1 more picture. We didn't use 2 of the 4 free lunches because as an adult I didn't care for a hot dog or pizza, so they really made money off of us. Only my husband and daughter used the Waterpark as my son couldn't. Overall good experience but I am still upset about this picture situation.

This place a a dump! Needs serious maintenance. We all felt gross after being in the water. No toilet paper in the bathrooms. Drink refrigerators were almost warm and the cans smell a bit like mild. This place needs serious renovations to get back to something I would want to stay at. We all wanted to leave after just one hour. Avoid this place and find a nicer place that is maintained better. Nothing at all like the pictures!

The waterslide park was very fun. I was a little disappointed that over half of the big waterslides were closed down because they were doing renovations. There are a couple rides that are not made for big adults. I’m a big guy and when you go down the one white slide, you bang your head quite a bit on the sides lol. The price is really good and there is food that you can get. The food and drinks are a good price. The park is a little bit rundown, but it was extremely fun for everyone in our party and there was 17 of us. I would definitely go again, especially once they have all the renovations done.

My bride and I visited Aquaventuras Park during our brief stay in Puerto Vallarta. We'd pre-purchased park tickets via Triple A / Carnival two weeks prior, and yet still endured a laborious 45 minute wait in a cramped, humid office while they processed our tickets. Even though we arrived at 11am on the dot, the stated start time posted on our tickets, we were asked to return at 3:45pm for the NEXT "Sea Lion encounter," aka the very reason we chose this park! After a few minutes of deliberations, we wound up receiving a truncated 15-minute, personal experience w/ the sea lion. The caliber of the sea lion show, however, was OUTSTANDING! POPEYE is the park's nine yr old, fun loving and bright eyed sea lion. He entertained us with special tricks, poses and even kissed each of us- On the cheeks. Special kudos belong to employees JESSIE and ANNIE. Jessie is Popeye's trainer/attendant, and you could see the loving bond that she's built w/ this dashing animal. Annie is the staff photographer who skillfully created a beautiful set of 55+ photos to commemorate our sea lion encounter for all posterity. Pro Tip- Aquaventuras is an aging water park, in need of a couple coats of paint and some general TLC. Also, the intake procedures -where you've up to five employees rather aimlessly congregating behind the counter while only ONE employee helps check customers in- could be tightened up. But if you're patient and willing to look beyond the park's need for a face lift...then you'll enjoy yourselves.

This place is not good. Their website sets a high expectation and we were really excited for our visit. On arrival it was immediately clear this was not going to be the experience we were looking for. All the paint on the floors; walls, slides, signs, changing rooms, lockers, everywhere, was faded, flaking off or missing altogether. The slides were in really rough shape. More than half the slides weren’t even open. Those that were open, looked and felt unsafe. You could feel the joins in the slide sections as you went down, way more than you should. The walkways up to the slides were uneven, chipped and dirty. The slide structures were all rusty and corroded. They can’t have been safe. The inflatable rings needed for several of the slides were very tired looking and most had numerous repair patches on them. There was a lot of trash strewn about the place as well. The concession stands were completely lacking. 3 of the cream freezers were completely empty. The one freezer that did have something it looked really unappealing. Changing rooms weren’t particularly clean and many of the cubicles were missing a privacy curtain. The only section of the park that appeared to be well presented was the dolphin encounter experience area. This is obviously where they make their money so they are neglecting all other areas of the park. The waterpark needs to be closed and given a serious overhaul in all areas before it is fit to be open to the public. Until that happens, I would avoid this place at all costs.

Nor really worth it. Not safe for the kids. Not well maintained. I guess for 70 dollars you may at least do a new painting yearly to make it look attractive. The dolphin show was short but not bad. Kids' attractions stairs are concrete and steel as in the pic which makes them completely unsafe. I left early because it was really boring.

This was amazing, my kids had so much fun but my only concern is that is is slippery in some places so be careful and have fun! And it was a good deal for tickets and the wait times were very short and I visited on the weekend.

Great place, felt the rides and activities were very safe. The Royal Dolphin Experience was phenomenal. However, they don't make sure you're signed up for all the activities you pay for. We didn't get to do Ziplines because they had one time slot and we missed it. I have 2 8yo that were very disappointed. They also hit you with very ridiculous photo fees AND do not let you take pictures. Visit was 4Jul and park was not crowded at all but I would worry about coming when it's too crowded.

Great breakfast, awesome service staff, only complaint is that the bingo caller sounds like they have the microphone in his mouth. And the bass of the sound system is too low when the numbers are called all you hear is a grungy deep sound. Thanks for at least repeating it on English and Spanish. Please consider correction

Great casino with table and machine games. The currency is all pesos so that made it difficult to know how much I really won in USD. Very nice and clean.

Fun casino. Small, but has table games, sportsbook, slots, bingo, etc. Clean facility and friendly staff. Decent food for a casino also.

Cool water park. Clean room. Toilet kept clogging up in hotel room.

Terrible experience 😪 I was charged $90 pesos for a Locker and I wasn't told $50 was a deposit. Did not get my deposit back I was to worried about getting my ID back. I called saying I didn't get my deposit back the lady on the phone was like swing by. So I did but when I get there the dude manager was like nah blah the lockers at $90 kick rocks

While the price was affordable, my small children didn’t have a great time due to the bucket of water that blocks the entrance to all of the children’s slides. It splashes out water while filling up making it too intimidating for my 2 and 4 year olds. The larger slides for kids 8 and up don’t have enough water to keep momentum. The shark exhibit is too cloudy to see the shark. My kids did enjoy seeing the dolphin show.

What an awesome place! Went here not expecting much BUT We were pleasantly surprised!!! The dolphin show and sea lion shows are great. The slides are a blast. No lines which is wonderful. Great for kids and adults. We loved that the price is the price. What you pay for admission allows you to do all the things they offer. The only things extra are food, drink and if you choose to rent a tube or buy photos of you and the dolphins or sea lions and even that is a really great price. Very pleased!!!

We did the dolphin experience which was amazing. We watched the sea lion show which was fantastic. Animals seemed very well taken care of and in a good temperament. Everyone very helpful though it would be helpful to you as a traveler if you know Spanish.

Worth the money.. dolphin show was the major attraction for the kids and they enjoyed it...took photos with the dolphins for extra money...sealion show and aquarium are supporting acts and there are some water slides as well.. good for a day out with the family...

Really nice place to take the family. It is clean and staff is friendly. The dolphin experience is recommended. I really enjoyed going here

Great food, and very friendly staff

Nice little beach with a cool break you can walk out on and fish if you would like. Nice place for pictures.

Fantastic location with beautiful sceneries. Plenty of restaurants and boating activities. You should rent a little E-Boat and scout nuevo's channels, it's like Venice but at home.

The most Beautiful Marina in all of Mexico! The facilities are First Class . The entire staff are attentive , knowledgeable, warm , accommodating and genuinely proud of their work. And of course , none of it would be possible without the strong leadership provided by Management.

It was so quiet and peaceful with everything super close by!!❤❤

Don’t miss visiting this Marina. The name is a bit misleading because it’s so much more than just an amazing Marina. It’s located close to main roads and easily accessible by taxi and other modes of transportation. There are quite a few restaurants serving a variety of menus which are all great and reasonably priced. I personally like the Route 66 restaurant which is 50s /60s themed. If you are visiting it’s a great photo op place. Thursdays are also a must not miss day , that is when there are hundreds of venders all around the waters edge……don’t miss this day it’s worth the trip. Oh I forgot to mention the tequila shop… one of the best sample and buy stores you’ll find in Puerto Vallarta. Hope this review will help you to enjoy Puerto Vallarta.

Many great restaurant .music and tours here come and enjoy all this and more
