Boca de Tomatlán accommodation from AU$231

It’s was family friendly, our room was always clean and I had ask to get my mini fridge full and they did.

Hotel Riu Vallarta was lovely. We especially enjoyed having the beach so close, as well as all the buffets :) we really took advantage of both. The evening events were really enjoyable and family friendly. We really appreciated that as well. The service at the buffet was impecable. They really make you feel like a VIP. The bar where most people were heavily indulging in alcohol was well hidden from the family friendly areas. The events staff really did a good job of keeping the vibes high. My wife did hurt her knee pretty bad, I inquired about crutches, was told they’d get back to me, and they didn’t until two days later, and had forgotten that I asked for crutches in the first place. We also asked for plastic bags so she could ice her knee. We got some day 1 but then magically on day 2 the entire resort ‘didn’t do plastic bags.’ This was all pretty frustrating and unfortunate. ALSO! If you have a promotion for free credit, it’s not what you think. We got $500USD in credit, and we’re planning to use it in the spa. But the credit can only be used to apply a very small discount to resort services such as photographs, snorkelling, and of course the spa. For example the spa treatment my wife and I wanted was $298USD I believe, and we could only use $15USD of the credit towards it. So to use all of the $500 of credit, theoretically, we’d have to spend thousands of dollars. It just doesn’t seem worth having a credit system at all.

Beautiful property and beach . Easy access to. Staff is great and attentive
