The staff is terrific from check in to check out. Very attentive and friendly. I thought the food was very good, varied and always available. We mostly visited the buffet, my husband prefers this over the dining experience. The restaurants were open air it was very warm for dinner reservations. Pool and bar staff were great. I highly recommend floating out in the bay, warm water, gentle waves, so relaxing. I do believe the pools are due for an update as the tiling is worn and missing in some...

This was our 5th trip to Puerto Vallarta in 3 years. We have stayed at different places each time, mainly to explore new areas until we find the "perfect " place for us. Costa Sur is about as perfect as it gets. We were in a newly renovated room, which was very updated, clean and modern. The property is right on the beach - we had a small balcony that was perfect for drinking coffee in the morning or winding down with a cocktail at night. We like to eat our meals downtown, so we didn't do...

The hotel located in a perfect spot - close to the beach, malecon, many restaurants. Easy to get here from the airport by the local bus. I was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast - it was cooked for me from scratch every morning, when many other hotels give just a bag of cold breakfast items. Also two bottles of water every day was a nice touch. The room was spacious, and staff was very welcoming. I could find a few things to complain about, but for the price I paid, I don’t want to.
