Sheraton Buganvilias Puerto Vallarta

The resort was clean, well maintained, and had a relaxing atmosphere. We loved spending time by the pool, watching the sunsets. It was the perfect place to unwind after our daily adventures around Puerto Vallarta.

We loved the people and facilities, except for these minor details: After checking in, they ask you to speak with an employee who is supposedly there to help you collect your luggage (which they initially place on a bellhop cart) and guide you to your room. However, this person is actually a salesperson. Before you know it, you’re being offered “complimentary” gifts and activities “for hotel guests” and subtly pressured into scheduling a timeshare presentation. They make it feel like this is simply the next step in the in the check-in process and that they’re helping you get to your room and luggage, but that’s not the case -it felt very sneaky. We booked four rooms, three of them with an ocean view, but only one actually had a view of the ocean. After wasting time with the initial sales pitch and being exhausted from traveling and sleep-deprived, we simply accepted the rooms we were given. We didn’t have the energy to go back downstairs and spend even more time trying to resolve the issue. The bathroom design offers very little privacy. The bathroom “walls” are made of frosted glass, so family can still see your silhouette while you’re using the toilet or taking a shower. In my opinion, it’s a poor design choice. The rooms also had a very strong humidity smell. It was somewhat overpowering -could be uncomfortable for people with sensitive noses. Nonetheless, the facilities are nice, and all of the employees we interacted with were VERY kind and friendly. I loved that!

Highly recommend staying here!
