Crown Paradise Club Puerto Vallarta Reviews

I impromptuly left home for a vacation to get away and regroup! This is exactly what I needed a relaxing time on a beautiful beach at a great venue! I would definitely go again!

We visited Crown Paradise Club in Puerta Vallarta in July, and the weather was great. The resort was very nice, and Puerta Vallarta is beautiful. The pools were nice, but we wish that the water wasn't so warm. It wasn't refreshing at all. The beach was nice, but the water was kind of dirty from all the leaves and things that washed down from the mountains when it rained. We enjoyed the buffet meals and there were always plenty of options at each meal so we could always find something we liked at every meal. The food was good, but not great. Overall, I think this resort was a great value. The service at the pools was very good, but I wish the drinks were bigger and wish they used top shelf liquor.

The people were rude almost got in a fight with a local, He wanted us to leave his beach and even came after our kids yelling obscenities at them.Bartenders udder rude comments at our group .It pays to know your Spanish.And the hotel was on fire when we got there.

This resort was a great value. - This resort seems to be very popular with Mexican citizens. ~90% of the patrons seemed to be Mexican. We really liked this, since we like being in touch with the country we are in (not isolated from it.) - I think this would be a great place for young couples with young children. They have a very special kiddie pool. - The food was okay to good, except at the French and Italian restaurants, which were good to very good (reservations required.). The Japanese restaurant was okay to good. Of course, the food was plentiful, and always available from some source. - The overall facility is nice, but not fancy. (This is not the kind of place with Jacuzzis in each room.) - The rooms were standard hotel rooms; nothing fancy, but very clean. Our heating system did not work, but it was not very necessary (we arranged to have an extra blanket). - We played tennis on the clay courts, on of which was fairly beat. For players like us (pleasure, not competition) they were fine. We had a great time playing there. - The location is very convenient to the marina for excursions. - It is very easy to take a bus to town (~ $0.50 per person – 6.5 pesos), but taxis are always available. - I am trying to find a special deal for APR2011 (like we found for our DEC2010 trip). We would love to stay here again.

The hotel was okay, but the food was not that good. The service was great, the pools a little small and crowded. It is a great hotel for small children, not for older ones. The special restaurants have great food, but the buffets were horrible. It is catered more for the locals, therefore the food is more geared towards them. It was alright, but I will not be returning.
