Pleasantly surprised! Excellent choice near the airport and Marina

I was thoroughly impressed by this hotel. I initially kept my expectations low, booking just a single night here to catch an early flight after a 6-night all-inclusive stay at the beach in Nuevo Vallarta. We really just needed a place to sleep after spending the our last day at Vidanta and watching Cirque du Soleil's Ludo.

The hotel feels brand new, exceptionally clean, and highly functional. Its location is unbeatable—just a 5-minute drive from the airport and within walking distance of Marina Vallarta. I was especially impressed by the pool area; while the pool itself is on the smaller side, it sits on a lovely rooftop terrace that is perfect for relaxing with a drink. The complimentary breakfast buffet was another highlight, offering a great variety, including made-to-order eggs, sopes, and quesadillas. I was not expecting this at a Holiday Inn.

I would definitely stay here again if I need a convenient spot near the airport or Puerto Vallarta Marina in the future.

Front desk staff was very rude. We arrived early and were informed check in was at 4:00pm, understandable since it was disclosed on reservation. We were a party of 5, 2 rooms reserved. After over a 3 1/2 hour wait, I decide to finally ask why everyone was getting their room and not us. Moises mentioned he was not aware we were waiting for our room, he mentioned the staff leaving never I informed and he never asked, even though we were right in front of him. We even took a nap in the lobby right across from reception. He mentioned all of those receiving rooms belong to the Holiday inn loyalty program and we reserved through an agent. Moises said we were still getting our room before 4:00pm. So he felt the wait was reasonable.
Earlier, when the original staff took our IDs, they mentioned if we paid $450 MXN they could allow early check in, however when I said only one room, they (2 staff) mentioned it was not available anymore. We asked if my 8 year old grandson could see the pool and they would not allow to see the pool. To make matters even worse, the next day my grandson got a bad cut in their pool. There is either a sharp edge or rough pool surface which cut his foot. We decided to check out one day earlier. The service was horrible, never experienced this at a Holiday Inn. The breakfast was decent. When checking out, the staff asked about our stay, I explained and he had a nice gesture, he arranged a ride back to the airport for free. This is great customer service!

Me gustó la propiedad , excelente.
Excepto el servicio en recepción.
La recepcionista parece demasiado seria y acartonada, ni una sola muestra de amabilidad.
Parecería que vas a pedirle fiado o como si te viera y pensara que no te mereces estar ahí.
Cumple su trabajo y hasta ahi.

We had a hicup with the reservation. When we arrived we were told that we got upgraded to the holiday Inn suites instead of the express but when we got there the front desk staff could not find it. We waited around 40mins to get it sorted not what you want to do after a flight. The staff was friendly but then asked me to come back down to sign as the forgot to ask me to sign when checking in. The were kind of apologetic but didn't seem to care much. Henry was super nice and helpful though, he helps us with the luggage and unloading of the car.
When I went to take shower in the evening there was barely any hot water from the shower which would have been nice after a long day of travelling. Breakfast was ok.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Puerto Vallarta twice. The first time it was excellent. However, the second time, the desk staff were not friendly, and the bathroom smelled terrible and when you flushed the toilets it backed up into the shower. I got there late, tired and was leaving early morning, so didn’t report this until checkout.

I was moved from the Express to the Inn and Suites. Everything was good for the price. The only disappointment was there is free breakfast at the Express and not at the Suites. Part of the reason I chose the express as it was just for a night and I was leaving in the morning. I did not ask to be moved. Pool area was great and gym did the trick for me weak workouts. Henry the shuttle driver was super friendly and helpful, drove me from the one place to the other AND airport even though it was the actually time for the shuttle. Super good guy who had only great things to say about his employers and he is doing his best to learn better English - even though it is already pretty good. Admirable guy with his zest for life and work.

Excellent staff. Luis and Henry were the shuttle and front door bell hop attendants and they were so, so very nice and helpful.
Free buffet breakfast was good. 24 hr restaurant is very cool too have.
Late check out is at 1pm is also a very nice bonus.
Pool area was very nice. Smaller Pool but lots of lounge area with bar and food.
Our only complaint would be the air-conditioning in our room had a muggy smell and feel which did cool the room down but didn't get down to our preferred temperature very quickly. So it took a while to regulate.

First room was ok but the black out shade broke and we ran out of body wash. We let the front desk know and they didn’t do anything about it.
We tried to upgrade to a “suite” and all they did was put us in the same room but with a terrace. And the “suite” was disgusting. There were boogers in multiple places, mold around the fridge, the shower was dirty, and the amount of times I heard the doors slam on this floor was insane. Never staying here ever again.

Staff it just depends who you talk to. Some staff will go up and beyond to help you find stuff other give you the cold shoulder.

I asked front desk for utensils and they look at me and said no we don’t have any, I ask if room service would give me some they said no, I had to ask multiple times if they would just give me utensils so I could eat the ice cream I bought. Finally one of the staff members got me some and the look that everyone gave me was like if I insulted them. I just asked for utensils.

We arrived at the hotel with my elderly mother who could barely walk and they said that they were overbooked and so they were sending us to another hotel down the street. We were never notified beforehand that we were gonna be going somewhere else. Otherwise we could’ve just gone straight there.They said it was an upgrade, but it wasn’t. It took over 30 minutes for them to get transportation for us to go to the next place after we’ve been traveling for over 15 hours and the breakfast wasn’t that great
