The staff was great. Room was very nice. Great value. I was turned off by the immediate push to have a timeshare meeting. They didn't take no for an answer until we had to say it 5 times. I would recommend that be a much softer sales pitch.

We had a get birthday vacation getaway. We got a Cabana and the service from Alma, Fransico, Christian and Mario were fantastic. Remembered my husband and my name by day 2. The restaurant on the beach had great food and attentive service as well. Omaggio had amazing food and the Sunday Poolside brunch was good too. Erika in the bar was great as well. I could say some things weren't great, but won't because I'm sure if I had an issue they would have addressed it immediately. I would go back. We're a 40's couple, so I would recommend the Distinct Side, it seem to have less kids. The Emotions side is cool but totally for the family and kids.

The Property is nice. The swimming pool right out side and close by. The room is clean and they maintain it very well. The water is provided with water dispenser outside the room and close by. The restaurant is okay they can do better to improve the food. The beach is about 3 minutes walking but still within the property.
The registration process takes time, it can be improve by eliminating the time share promotion.

We loved this resort and would come back in a heartbeat. The food and drinks were delicious and Everything was made to order instead of buffets. The pool area had plenty of seating and shade. The staff was attentive and quick to add umbrellas and make sure you had everything you needed. We made a trip over to their sister resort ( Marival Emotions) and quickly realized how good we had it at this resort. We ate at all 4 restaurants and visited the bar and we’re satisfied every single time! Would recommend to friends and family!

TRAVELERS BEWARE!!!! We are extremely disappointed with our experience. We had an amazing stay and had even made plans to return with our family members at a later date. Our disappointment came the last day as we were headed to the airport. We hired a private transportation service given our experience from extensive travel to Mexico, it is much safer to do in comparison to a taxi/Uber. We checked out today and on our way to the airport we were ambushed by three cars of taxi drivers along with the hotel staff (I believe they were bus boys who ultimately tipped off the taxi drivers). This was the scariest experience of my life especially with a one year old in the car. A taxi driver stopped in front of our car and blocked our driver from taking us to the airport. My life flashed before my eyes as I thought we were about to get robbed at gun point. Luckily, our driver acted fast and the company immediately noticed and called our driver when they noticed he went off route (the car was GPS tracked). We later found out the bus boys tipped off the taxi drivers and security at the hotel strip exit who ultimately blocked us off. I’ll spare all the details but the company was able to dispatch security and de-escalate the situation. After calling the hotel, they only made excuses by saying the private transportation company hadn’t paid their monthly quota to the union. Regardless, we should have never been involved in business disputes and bus boys should be reprimanded.

Dear guest,
Thank you very much for your detailed review regarding your recent stay with us and making us aware about your experience after leaving Marival Distinct Luxury Residences. We would like to tell you that we are really concerned about the bad experience you had with your private transportation on your departure day and the inconvenience they caused to you and your family, it is a shame that something that is completely out of our hands, overshadowed the wonderful stay you had with us. We would like to clarify that this situation is not related at all to our bell boys or security staff or any other member of our Hotel, this situation was between the private transportation you booked and the Taxis Union that, important to note, do not belongs to our Hotel. We have no idea about that Company have or not a previous agreement with the Taxis Union in order to be able to pick up guests from Hotels.
Please be assured that we are already taking the appropriate actions in this matter; together with the Hotels’ Association in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit and Executives from other important Hotels, we are trying to stop this unpleasant situations from happening again since they damage the image of our beautiful destination.
Hoping the above helps to clarify this unfortunate misunderstanding, we would love to be able to serve you once again at this, your home away from home in the nearest future and have the opportunity to serve you again, please do not hesitate to contact us in advance if any special request is needed, we will be more than glad to pamper you as you deserve!
Our best wishes,
Your family at Marival.
