Hilton Vallarta Riviera All-Inclusive Resort

Pros- nice (mostly) private beach, incredibly kind and helpful staff Cons- transparent glass bathroom window into the hotel room, sliding barn door was also frosted glass. Zero privacy. Automatic hard pass! (The hotel pics don't show the glass bathroom doors, or the large window between the bathroom and bedroom.)

Great location, all rooms ocean view, good beach, friendly staff. The hotel overall is ok and not as luxury as pictures might suggest. The rooms are clean, tile floor, the decor and closet/drawer/tables are outdated, but clean and practical nonetheless. The bathrooms have glass door for toilet which is not good for privacy at all, and no sound proofing like a closed door, so it will get awkward depending. (I have seen that trend in another hilton as well in Montreal, and I have no idea why these hotels are going away from proper doors for hotel bathrooms to this 'open concept' ish bathroom model. Quality of food and buffet are above average, but not excellent. Variety of choices and friendly staff make up for any shortcoming. Overall a pleasant food experience, but adjust your expectations accordingly. Taxi to hotel should cost around $40-$50 from airport for a group of 6 people, and travel to downtown and back should be about $25 each way for a group of 6 people (larger van). The beach is fantastic, has separated area with the rocks that keep the water calm in front of the hotel, so kids and adults can play in ocean water without worry of being dragged into the ocean by the currents etc. I will definitely go back to the hotel but will adjust my expectations accordingly.

We just returned from an amazing vacation in Puerta Vallarta at the Hilton PV All- Inclusive resort. Our room was spacious, comfortable and the housekeeping staff keep it immaculate! The room service team kept our mini bar well stocked with our preferences. All meals were well prepared and presented - even at the Vela buffet. We ate all our breakfast in the Vela and had plentiful options and terrific service from the wait staff. A special shout out goes to Esmeralda, Isela, and the Omelet Bar Chef, Marcos from the Vela breakfast team. One more recommendation - the Chico Loco Sunset Whale Watching tour is well worth the premium cost! It's a once in a lifetime experience!!

We had such an incredible stay at the Hilton Vallarta Riviera All-Inclusive Resort. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless and welcoming. Juan, our pool server, was absolutely AMAZING. He was so attentive, friendly, and always one step ahead, making sure we had everything we needed before we even asked. He truly elevated our poolside experience. Chef Marcos made the best omelettes every morning. Watching him cook with such care and skill was a highlight of the breakfast buffet. Speaking of buffets, Velas was fantastic. The selection was excellent, and Norma was so responsive and kind. She made sure everything ran smoothly and checked in often. The kids club was awesome. Our kids were begging to go back every day. Melissa and Muramay were so warm and engaging, and our kids absolutely loved them. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands and having so much fun. The location is unbeatable. You can see the ocean from everywhere, which makes the entire resort feel peaceful and breathtaking at the same time. Overall, it was a truly great experience, and we cannot wait to return. Highly recommend.

We stayed at the Hilton from Jan 13-27, 2026. Our stay was very enjoyable. Great drink and food service at the pool area, delicious food at the various restaurants, and no panic to get beach chairs in the morning. Special shoutout to the breakfast crew at the buffet - Esmeralda, Norma, Rosalva, Medardo, Marlen, Mario and Marcos (our omelet guy). This crew made our mornings fun from the special pancakes, friendly smiles, table set up awaiting our arrival, great service, and even a special dessert on our last morning at the resort! It was a great holiday!
