This was our family's first trip to Mexico. We stayed at the Melia with our 3 children, ages 14, 12, and 8. This all-inclusive resort is extremely family friendly. The decor and grounds are just beautiful. There are iguanas, ducks, geese, and ponds with tons of koi. The landscaping is breathtaking. The staff are all extremely polite, friendly, helpful, and... more

Overall this is a nice resort. The grounds are well maintained and the pool was beautiful. While we wouldn't go back for a second visit, we wouldn't dissuade anyone from staying here. It was a nice and relaxing trip. It wasn't decadent but it was worth what we paid. We stayed in the lowest cost room and it was fine.... more

Great place! The food was good, the service was great, the rooms were clean (we had an oceanfront room on the 8th floor and the view was amazing), the whole facility in general was clean and there are lots of activities to do on the resort. The place is very family friendly. Our only complaints would be that there are... more

When my husband and I left LAX on 6-4 I expected the plane to be full with people who had rescheduled, but instead there was 24 people on the plane! I guess everyone is still paranoid about the swine flu. We got off the plane, got through the airport, got a taxi and arrived at the hotel all in less... more

The hotel was great. The only advice I have is if you are a young couple this may not be the place for you. This is a very family friendly resort. The resort itself was very nice. The beach was very nice, the rooms were clean and had friendly cleaning staff, and the restaurants were fine. The location of the... more

Upon arriving at the Melia Puerto Vallarta All Inclusive Beach Resort located in Marina Vallarta in Puerto Vallarta, we found that the resort grounds were very tidy. The plants were very beautiful and the grounds were well kept by the maintenance staff. I noticed right away that the resort was much older compared to a few of the surrounding resorts.... more

We were invited to go to Mexico by our business owners for a free vacation, it just so happened it was over my birthday as well! The Melia was wonderful, I loved the open air feeling on the grounds. Our room seemed older but very clean. We had a view of the ponds, we loved chasing the Iguanas around. The... more

We did like most and read the reviews from this site and I have to admit that they were spot on. Upon arrival at the airport, make sure the many “fake” tour operators waiting for you on your way out don’t catch you. Our tour company was waiting for us outside the building like most other tour operators. The location... more

Just before Easter (April 7-10, 2009) I took my elderly father for a quick trip to Mexico. He had never been to Mexico and he recently went to Hawaii and Alaska as he always wanted to see these locations. He told me that he would like to see Mexico too. I chose Puerto Vallarta as I had taken my wife... more
