Gorgeous ocean view, spotless clean rooms, extremely friendly staff very energetic and helpful, all inclusive food and drinks were the best part of my stay. Currency exchange directly at the front desk without having to risk going to a bank, gift shop very well stocked, clean bathrooms all over the property. Pools were very clean and relaxing, i could go on but i much rather go back again soon!

We really enjoyed our 4 night stay at Friendly Vallarta. The entire staff was very very good. We spent a lot of time on the beach. The service at the beach was great. Staff would bring food, if requested, along with beverages. We saw that staff would set up chairs and umbrellas when asked. The adult beverages were top brands. The pools and hot tubs were well maintained. We really enjoyed the heated pool area. The food was good, maybe not a wide variety, but still quite good. We also enjoyed the entertainment. We are in our 60's. This smaller resort was just perfect for us. The location is perfect. It is close to the Malecon and 15 minutes to the airport.

Most friendly staff.

Pros: The welcoming spirit.
Cons: Won't make an adverse criticism as every time visited improvements have been made.
Location: In house tour sales available. If you are a walker some places of interest within walking distance.H
When 7 bus loads of guess arrive that creates a lot of humanity but something one can live with. Have more or less made Friendly Vallarta as a second home as have become friends with so many of the employees.

Great Hotel but do not go during the month of March! The whole hotel is transformed to a spring break for college kids. It was like MTV spring break. They stop all hotel activities for the normal travelers.
