We spent a week there with my family and my husbands family and thought it was perfect. The hotel is perfectly situated away from the downtown puerto vallarta and is very serene and just gorgeous. It felt like we had the place to ourselves and that is what we were looking for. You can get the big hotel experience anytime... more

We stayed for a week and were treated rudely and terribly the entire time. I had my credit card number written down and stolen by the woman working in the gift shop. My two friends and I also got two digital cameras and my iphone stolen out of our room while we were at the beach. When we reported it... more

In the past my family and I have stayed in many resorts: Mexico and the Caribbean – This particular resort however, just on the outskirt of Puerto Vallarta is a must – we were treated like royalty! The week of March Break 2009, my husband and I set off to sunny Puerto Vallarta. We arrived at the Intercontinental Presidente late... more

We were so pleased with our stay that I almost wrote a review while we were still there. It would have been a different review, so I'm glad I didn't. We got a really good deal by booking directly on the hotel website-- after we found it online elsewhere for less, I called the hotel directly and they matched the... more

My wife (Mexican, 28) and I (German, 31) spent the last week of January 2009 in the Presidente, our decision was based mainly on the helpful reviews by other travelers (on TripAdvisor). There is not much to add to the previous reviews - it is definitely a quiete, very lovely place south of Puerto Vallarta - except one thing: the... more

We chose to change hotels @ the last minute because of reviews @ the Barceló of people getting sick. We arrived around 10pm and were greeted by the bell hop very friendly and personal. (He was a... more

We just returned from a great relaxing week at the Presidente, myself and my wife. This was my 5th time to Mexico and 3rd to P.V. Our aim was a quiet romantic resort and this is exactly what we got. Lovely hotel - we were upgrade to a junior suite- the room was large, clean and comfortable with a fantastic... more

We loved this hotel because it provided exactly what we needed - a quiet getaway. It is located at the far south end of the city, away from the crowds and noise of the main strip of hotels, yet it is a short taxi ride into town if you want a different restaurant or shopping. A waiter in town told... more

We had a wonderful month vacation at the Presidente. The rooms and bathrooms are very large, the front desk staff very helpful in making dinner reservations, beautiful private beach and quiet pool. We took the local bus to town each evening which is so convenient and reasonable and it only takes about 15 minutes. The town has many excellent restaurants... more
