I decided to post to provide a balance to the overly positive reviews, as I don’t rate this property as highly. I’ve traveled significantly and have stayed from inexpensive pensions to very nice hotels. I seek value for the price in my leisure travel. It's questionable at this hotel as the noteworthy things are ocean views, tranquil beaches. Rooms/beds/services are... more

We booked our honeymoon through a frontier airlines package and got a great deal that enabled us to stay in Puerto Vallarta for 11 days. The Presidente was a good honeymoon hotel ... it is fairly isolated south of town on a pretty and private beach. There are only 120 rooms. It was quiet and private and perfect for our... more

I stayed at this hotel twenty five years ago, so I decided to try it again on my recent trip. The resort was newly renovated and very clean. The rooms were oversized and decorated very well. The hotel staff was very professional and catered to our every need. When we checked out, there were no unexpected charges on our bill.... more

We read several of the reviews here prior to booking this hotel, so let me first say that we had an excellent experience. But let me also start by addressing some of the complaints we heard: Hard Beds/Pillows: These may not be pillow top mattresses, but unless that is your standard, the beds & pillows are just fine and we... more

The location of this hotel is excellent. Sierra Madre Mountains as a back drop, and all rooms have ocean views. The beach is small, but as good as beach gets in P.V. The lobby area has great open space, nice decor, and wonderful ocean views. The rooms also have great views, especially the highter floors, but the decor is outdated,... more

We booked at the Presidente Intercontinental for two days after being in a 3 star all-inclusive resort in Nueva Vallarta, so my review rather compares the experience of the two resorts, especially as the all-inclusive resort was quite inexpensive compared to the Presidente. First, the Presidente IS beautiful, although it's still made entirely of concrete, as are most buildings in... more

It was a great place, but a little far out; the food was great; the beach was small, but a nice quiet location. more

My wife and I were married in Puerto Vallarta on March 24th and picked the Presidente for our guests since they offered us such a competitive group rate. We had been to Puerto Vallarta once before, but we were a little nervous considering we had never been to the hotel, it was a little ways out of town, and we... more

We just got back from a week at El Presidente! We had a beautiful 2 bedroom suite on the 10th floor. The kids loved the hot tub on the deck and watching the whales, dolphins, boats and sun sets each day! We ordered room service every morning and the food was excellent. The staff was very attentive and remembered our... more
