Friendly Fun Vallarta Different Experiences

Great for the price

The hotel was disappointing. The rooms are old with poorly working air conditioners (temperature won’t drop below 25°C), and there are many minor issues (clogged sink, non-working sockets, barely functioning door handle). The cleaning was poor and done late, with sand on the floor never being cleaned. The pool is constantly overcrowded. It’s unbearable to sit in the hotel lobby because it’s stifling due to the lack of air conditioning. The room cards break constantly; I had to replace them about five times. The beach is nice, but the sea is dirty and swimming is unpleasant. The food is edible but very monotonous, the same thing for all 9 days. The only positive is the friendly and smiling staff. I didn’t find any more advantages and won’t recommend it.

Beautiful lobby, main lower area, and cafe. The pool and lounge areas are glorious. It’s is the epitome of vacation vibes.

Need to keep families NEXT to each other. We were separated by one room and another 2 parties were between us. They were blasted the music two nights in a row and we had to call security. My daughters stayed between the two noisy and rude parties and that made me very nervous.

What a breath of fresh air. We did not have good accomodations at Crown Paradise Golden and was transferred free of any charges to Friendly Fun Vallarta. Friendly Fun was clean, well lit, the staff was attentive and very professional. Our room was clean, no gnats. There were several bars and restaurants to serve you. The adult side was very clean and low key, hardly any adults in the area, they were all with kids on the otherside. Morning coffee bars had all sorts of coffees and teas along with danishes and sweets. This is open all day and evening. The buffet changed up items daily. The pasta dishes and local dishes were excellent. Food could have been a bit hotter if you did not order off of the grill. Excellent omelets every morning. Several pools and many cabanas were there for you to enjoy, No need to worry about not getting a lounger or cabana, there were many. Located very close to the Malcone art center with a large walking path along the bay, has many stores, trinkets, jewelry, food and beverages to enjoy. Had a great time.

We stayed here a week family of 4. The resort was very clean and staff extremely friendly. Our only complaints are night life ends early. Music and bars shut down early in our opinion. Only one bar open later and it's in the lobby so a bit of a walk from the dance floor. When it's busy the line up was nuts. Food was good but restaurants werent all open and the menus were a bit confusing. Buffet was always the same spread. Late night tacos were great. The beach is beautiful and the ocean views from rooms are breathtaking. All in all was a good time.

Family of 4 (11 and 5 yr old) I really wanted to like this hotel: Lots of maintenance going on while our stay. We were left with no option than to move to a different building after our first night there. Food options were very limited. I will say the breakfast was the best part of the dining. Only one family pool which we knew when we booked. There’s a small swallow area where all the littles play that can get very crowded, very soon which is understandable since this place is not very accommodating to kids. This place caters to adults. It should be an adults only resort IMO. Pros: the beach area is perfect! The sunset was the best part of this trip. Probably won’t ever return to this facility but we still made the best of this vacay.

The property was welcoming and the location close to the beach was ideal. Pool was nice as well. The room was basic, definitely dated but got the job done. The biggest letdown I think was the food. Dinner was very hit or miss and the options were just repeated over and over again so that got tiresome. Staff was very friendly

Overall, the resort it’s in good location with good service and good entertainment, separate pools for adults and children. Food is ok and more Mexican dishes than American. They gave us wrong room for 3 nights which was disappointing, when we complained they moved us to room we paid for it.
