This resort was booked all inclusive, but is not an inclusive hotel. Looks nothing like the photos advertised on Expedia. I’m pretty sure the advertised ad on Expedia is the delta resort not the Matlali. I’ve been looking for away to contact Expedia to explain my concerns, but haven’t heard back. Matlali resort on Expedia is not correctly advertised, photos and all advertising is not the same resort.

Everything looked fine until I entered the small bedroom and the sofa was dirty and stained everywhere. The sheets on the sofa bed was also stained. The elevator broke down and we were stuck there until I forced the door open to get out. My daughter got scared and wouldn’t use the elevator for the rest of the stay.

We initially had problems with the air conditioning not working and the front door not opening with our key card but the staff worked hard to fix things. The room was beautiful but the patio cushions were torn. We left after 3 days and went to a different hotel (without compensation) because there are only 3 places to eat there. Due to the lack of business at the facility, they usually only had the one restaurant open for dinner but there was nothing on the limited menu that we could eat, we actually went back to our room and had peanut butter toast. The location is too far away from a grocery store to buy anything for your room so you’ll need to prepare for getting a taxi to take you shopping for food. The shuttle takes about 10-15 mins to get you down to the beach club, which was nice.
The staff was definitely friendly and helpful but the facility itself is the issue, food being the main concern.
We paid for 10 days stay but only ended up staying for 3 before we switched to another hotel so that we could enjoy our vacation. They only compensated us for one meal.

Upside: great value! Good pools, decent breakfast buffet, very friendly staff, clean rooms, nice views of the Bahía. Downsides: location is up on the hillside and requires transport down to the beach and there are only 3 specific times you can do that every day. Clearly you his places has had it’s day and the investors aren’t interested in putting money back into maintenance of the place. They do however make sure the guys with the leaf blowers are out every morning at 7:30am! Less leaf blowing, more replacing tiles and pool umbrellas please! Overall it’s a really great value tho! We had a good stay!

The room was clean and comfortable, which I appreciated. However, the pool was a little dirty upon arrival. Also, be aware that you must check out on time and return all keys and if you don’t, they will charge you for an extra day. While waiting in line, I saw a family get charged an additional day because they didn’t return the keys on time. Overall, the stay was decent, but clearer communication and better pool maintenance would improve the experience.

So, the front clerk upon arriving was not welcoming. The fan in the entrance patio was not working, neither was the jacuzzi so that was not good. One day we did not have maid service and the last day before we checked out they didn’t leave any coffee and clean the dirty dishes from the previous day. Other than that. Our villa was very comfortable and the place was very clean and vegetation felt like you’re in Hawaii, very beautiful. Transportation was quick to take us where we needed.

We liked our Suite and the private pool, but the other visitors partied until 4 AM and we complained for 3 nights with no relief. When leaving, we did not return our wrist bands, because we were not told to return them. They refused to let us leave the premises and kept us hostage for 15 minutes in our car waiting for them to open the gate so we could leave. Totally unprofessional, rude and illegal. Don't expect anything better. This was off season, imagine what it is like when it is at full capacity!?

Stayed NYE week. It was dead. Asked about this and told that this is the usual crowd. We were the only people at the main pool, serenity pool and at the dinner buffet (do not recommend lunch or dinner on property). Even though we had All inclusive, opted to go in town to enjoy our lunch and dinners in Bucerias and Sayulita (amazing little towns and worth exploring). Did get a good burger at the beach club, along with fish tacos. Bartenders were super cool and attentive. Disco/night club was advertised, but non existent. Other areas were also featured, but closed or not available. Have to take shuttles to beach club and surrounding. Spa at Delta Hotels was nearby and it was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Front desk clerk (Benita?) was extremely helpful. Room was spacious, but no heat, pressure or drainage in bathroom showers. It could be nice with a bit of TLC and some energy. First and last visit.

Nightmare

this was our first time staying in this area. It was a nightmare. The front door did not work. Had to be replaced the lock. We had water dripping from the dining room and the main bedroom. The place was dirty no trash was ever thrown no beds wherever made outside where the pool was you could barely see through the glass protection. All inclusive was not all inclusive. We had one mill which was marinating in lamps. We basically lived off the snacks we bought at the airport. This was an all adults hotel. Woke up two days later to children’s splashing and yelling next to us. Daniel, the manager said sorry we had a wedding didn’t know where to put these families with kids. Daniel promised us a full refund as I was in tears two days later. Unable to leave due to high last minute flights upon arriving home we were told they were going to give us $400 out of our $4751 that we paid. Do not go here, you will regret it like we did. Hotels.com also did nothing. We are VIP members. We’ve been with them for years and paid them yet. They were unable to do nothing but give us back $200. Unfortunately, my time with Hotels.com has expired. And I will no longer be booking with them , after all these years never had any problems.com. Could not help us but keep our money. I don’t want to associate with them any longer. Again, beware of this hotel. Anything to eat costed us $50 one-way in a taxi. It was a nightmare. And prepare to handle your own Luggage once you arrive to the hotel

I will still with airbnbing and driving to the best local restaurants and nothing was infused with love in this experience. The tv was not smart and had no Netflix or any way to connect. Everything was mediocre at best. I was promised an extra night for the trouble and I still have not received this to make up for it.

If you decided to book here call ahead to find out what is actually available - this was NOT worth the money the food is only a buffet, no activities, no in room service like refill of sodas. I dont drink but doubt that is even worth the money. I would NEVER stay here again all inclusive is a lie and false advertisement and this hotel should not be advertising this establishment as an l inclusive.. The stove didnt work so couldnt even make something since the limited buffet was VERY limited. Spent more time on the phone and in the office trying to figure oout why things w3e3rent working even asked to go back to my originial room King suite because they didnt even heat up the pool on the terrace that I paid an extra $200 a night for. This whole place was a scam. All inclusive does not mean you sleep and eat buffet. NEVER WILL STAY AGAIN- staff could care less as well so convos went no where

The property was well looked after and the staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly. The food and drinks were fantastic. The property felt extremely safe. I would highly recommend this property to groups looking for a relaxing vacation. There was no fighting over pool loungers or long waits for restaurants like I've experienced at other resorts.

A couple of minor drawbacks: poor wifi reception, many of the listed amenities were not available during our stay, no room service available, and having to shuttle between buildings created some delays. There were also no hair dryers in the room so I embraced my either wet or extremely wavy hair for the duration. Overall, I would stay here again with no hesitation.

No adults only areas as advertised (under construction)

Extremely limited dining hours and options

No room service available at all.

Dining area when open is likely a long hike away

Arrived at the beach on the FIRST Shuttle in the am, got no umbrella, and no Towel... nor were any available all day. We just paid for them.

Nightlife is virtually non existant here, and you will not have ANY option being so secluded, unless you uber somewhere (i suggest JAX in bucerias) There was a bit of locals activities at the bingo hall of an emty bar but it was all panish, every night.

We had newer rooms that were comfy and clean, modern. But 2 of our friends had older/bigger rooms with private pools that definately werent maintained as well and both rooms needed to be cleaned/maintained before they would check in.

When we arrived we were shuttled all around the roperty without maps, to different buildings.. had no idea where anything was, that we were in different buildings (after requesting during booking 3 months in advance to be in the same area) 2 of our bags were lost in the shuttling for 24 hours , because over helpful shuttle drivers were just grabbing bags and taking them.

All in all we paid for 4 nights... only stayed for 2. If you are spanish speaking and have a family and want some bland limited menus at precise hours, this is your place.

Definatly not for english speaking seeking adults only or socializing

Overall the property is just okay, I only choose it cause it was a couple hundred less than other all inclusive resorts near by. Walls are paper thin, I was on the fourth floor and could hear people in the pool down on the second floor till late hours of the night. They also just choose random times to stop food services even though they give a little piece of paper with all the times written down, they don’t follow that. I wouldn’t also won’t choose this resort if you don’t speak Spanish, very limited people who speak English at the hotel. The views from my room were great though.

We liked some of the staff. Nestor, Jaime, Ivan, Karem, Omar and All the staff at Delta. The language barrier at the front desk check in was not good for us. They overcharged us in our exchange rate and the medical. I have to own some of that for not pushing back on it though.
All in all a nice peaceful hotel that isn’t at the resort level when we stayed. The room was great but in need of some maintenance.

I absolutely LOVED my room! It was a huge two bedroom with a pool on the balcony. The food was great, although due to occupancy only certain restaurants were open while we stayed. The property was beautiful, I felt very safe and I really would love to go back!

Stayed in a beautiful all inclusive villa that did not offer room service or alcohol in the room. Kitchen was dirty. 1 fork and no paper towels.
The staff at check in were not friendly or helpful. Not what I’m use to while on vacation, it was almost an inconvenience to ask them for assistance. The food was ok, and only one restaurant was open and available for dinner. The bar closest to our villa was closed. The walk to the open bar was a little far. Maybe golf carts for villas might be nice.

The service is very good, the location and the fact of having a beach club was a highlight.
I didn’t like that the administration charged us for a stained bedsheet due to a skin cut the first day but only told us when we left after 6 days. Lobby coordination did mistakes a couple of days in our dinner reservations. The “free” wifi doesn’t really work so you need to pay per device in a 5 star hotel?
A really bad thing is that if you are in a guest room that has room to room connection, you can hear a lot the other room. They were nice enough to keep the other room empty during our stay.

This is our second time at Matlali and it definitely will not be our last! From the amazing staff, fantastic service, and beautiful hotel, we were very happy to return. Thank you Naomi for your attention to detail that made our stay very memorable. You truly love your job and it shows in the service you presented to us. Muchas Gracias and we see you again soon.

I paid $6000.00 for one week in Mexico for this joint. Would never go back as price is definitely not worth it.

My girlfriend slipped in room because of a very leaking AC, she suffered hip, arm and wrist injuries. Staff shrugged their shoulders.

Front desk, well, I have get better treatment at McDonald’s. Property is one big hill so bring your hiking boots! They do have golf cart transportation but left me stranded 4 times.

They actually cool your pool if you have a terrace pool to a point it’s unusable, then phone to ask about heat and they charge you an extra $100 American per night!!!!

Food!! Omg! Atrocious!!! The last nights we actually went to the local gas station to buy mr. Noodles as we knew we wouldn’t get sick from that. Also knew it would have more taste.

All in all, your a sucker if you go here!

PS: they said mini bar in room, we got 2 beers and that is it!!!!

Nice property,
I didn’t like that they do not have transportation anywhere, but to the beach. It is 1hr and 15 min far from Vallarta.
They could do better at that. Also was unnecessary charged for the beach towel card $50 dollars. I never used the beach towels since I took my own. The towels offered are the beach where old and not very clean, so was glad took my own, so returned my cards and at check out said they didn’t have them and was abused with that extra charge. I am not planning on ever going back there for that reason and the transportation problem.

Not what I expected. Nothing near by. Food options are EXTREMELY limited. Food hours are limited and drinks are very limited . I feel like I booked a trip to walk around a large resort to not have food I like and nothing to experience around me. When I was going to check out is when the front desk asked me if I needed help planning any adventures. Very disappointed .

This is a beautiful property and the staff is amazing. Just do not expect if you are all inclusive to have a bar in your room or beers, pops and water brought to you even if you ask. Also the food is mediocre at best. No buffet just 3 options for dinners but the views are amazing. The beach bar and food is the best by far. Definitely get a villa with the private pool you will not hate it at all.

Expedia I have a few choice responses for you. I strongly recommend validating on how properties are advertised through your application. Throughout
all of my stays this is by far the worst. I had gone to the front desk every day of my trip and sometimes multiple times on the same day to resolve countless issue with my rooms.

This property was clearly NOT vetted by Expedia. We arrived @ 3:30 and waited until 5:30 to be checked in. The Management insisted we attend a \"breakfast condo\" presentation and make a morning b'fast. Room was TINY and NOISY-we could literally hear every syllable said by our neighbors in the adjoining room. The bed in the room was missing a sheet and the \"lounge\" couch was dirty. The pools (2 adjoining) were both loaded with kids as was the jacuzzi that had a non operating heater. There was no bottled water available in the room and we repeatedly asked for water-I finally retrieved a small bottle from the front desk. We made a few phone calls and booked the rest of the vacation at the Marriot Marina Hotel. On the positive, the staff were nice and tried to accommodate, the problem was the management in my opinion. Also, the facility is located on a steep hill, there are pathways and stairs between the rooms, pool, restaurants and lobby. They provide a golf cart / driver to facilitate this, but you will wait. We walked everywhere, which was not an issue for us, but may be for others. Again, we were scheduled for 5 nights and left after one sleepless and noisy night. I would NOT recommend this \"resort\".

I got the master suite with the pool on the deck. The entire suite was dirty, including the pool on the deck. The dining room table had not been cleaned in some time, several guests ago. The bathroom sink had dirt and grime set into the corners and cracks. The pool had dirt and grime build-up and several dead bugs floating in it. The communal pool wasn’t much better unfortunately. The food was terrible, not seasoned, mismatched foods together that do not compliment one another. The only food the resort prepares right is the bacon burger they serve at the beach club. The alcoholic drinks on the resort does not appear to have alcohol in them, at the beach club they were okay. The AC in my room did not work. It worked very briefly the first day before dying. I asked them to fix it, it worked very briefly the second day before dying and didn’t work again for the remainder of my 5-day trip. On the 2nd morning the cleaning lady attempted to come in and clean at 7am. I asked her to come back later and she came back at 8:58 am. It is Inappropriate to disturb guests that early that are on vacation. Other than that the staff was very polite. The gentleman at the beach club were my favorites, very attentive and even remembered my drink order after my first visit. The property is beautiful, the room beautiful although dirty. It is also far from the city (Puerto Vallarta). It is about an hours drive and the resort offers no activities or entertainment for the guests.

Friendly staff, delicious food and drink but both my husband and I have bad legs and sometimes the ride to get from our room to food didn’t come so we would walk and it was not an easy walk due to all the hills. So if you like hiking this is a perfect place but having physical limitations made that part of the trip a bummer. Very pretty scenery also.

El mantenimiento de las habitaciones es deficiente, la habitación que se reservo con alberca propia estaba en muy malas condiciones con azulejos sueltos y mármol roto nos cambiaron de habitación y la otra habitación estaba en condiciones parecidas, la cortinas presentaban agujeros por desgaste con el sol y la limpieza de la cocina y baños era bastante deficiente, de las 4 zonas de albercas que ofrecen para su uso solo dos estaban habilitadas y una sin servicio de toallas y bebidas (se encuentra en construcción) mucho ruido de la construcción desde temprano hasta gran parte de la tarde, el club de playa dista mucho de tener la misma calidad y nivel que ofrece el hotel (hay que tomar un transporte que toma de 15 a 20 min para llegar a la playa ) playa pública poco cuidada en su mantenimiento, camastros dañados y sucios, basura y vidrios en la arena y muchos vendedores que no dejan descansar, la comida es buffet y ofrecen restaurantes de especialidades pero solo abren los fines de semana dependiendo de la cantidad de huéspedes, los alimentos son de calidad regular ya que los ingredientes son de baja calidad poco cuidado el sabor o cocción, el staff escucha pero tarda mucho en atender y se observa poca comunicación entre ellos para resolver las situaciones de los huéspedes (durante 3 días pedí hablar con el gerente y nunca estuvo disponible, o lo negaba el staff o no sabían donde estaba) en resumen el costo no refleja el beneficio en servicio o nivel que muestran en las fotos

It was an okay stay. The property has construction going on, and there’s a lot of noise, and it would have being nice if they had that his their website to at least let the guest know in advance. A lot of the amenities are no longer open as seems to be part of the hotel has been sold to someone else. Food was normal, buffet style and looks like the breakfast menu doesn’t change had the same thing in the 3 days I was there. ( I don’t know if this was due to COVID situation).

The reservations manager is terrible. She refused to speak with customers. The hotel took me to an occupied room first, then a room that was wrong yet again. I paid for a premium suite with pool on the balcony. Lobby said our apologies well get you the right room ... it’s now 430 pm and they have no estimated time of when the room proper room will be available. I had checked in at 3 pm .. I decided to cancel and re book with a hotel that was actually nice and would give me what I paid for not 3 hours later - after a long day of traveling. The front desk manager made me fill out a formal complaint - and said there would be no problem with cancellation.I left at 6pm finally. Come the next day the reservation manager decided they will keep the money for an entire day of my stay because they “offered me a room just didn’t know when I would get if” abs I should have waited. She refused to speak with me on the phone when I was in the lobby , refused to come down to the lobby and any customer service manager would do.... she has zero respect, zero manager skills and she should be fired and get a new job that doesn’t involve speaking with customers she refused to give me her upper manager contact info .. to both myself and Expedia! It’s obscene! Her name is Cermay/ Sendai/ Cermai.. don’t know how to spell it. This entire hotel was not at all what the pictures look like ,,; let me tell you. Run!

I loved the relaxing vibe and the views were gorgeous.The staff was very kind and the room was beautiful. Unfortunately we had no hot water the few days we stayed there. At breakfast when we ate there were a bunch of ants crawling all over
One section of the food which ruins the appetite. Also the transportation at times would take up to 30 minutes and I realize that’s not the drivers faults and they’re busy but maybe adding a couple more busses in the future might help? Or more golf carts? We ended up switching hotels unfortunately but thank you to the staff who was so kind during our stay!
