“Fabulous stay at Friendly Vallarta”

Had a wonderful stay at Friendly Vallarta! The staff was amazing - truly the friendliest, most high quality staff I have experienced in Vallarta. They were always smiling and seemed really happy to be there. The hotel room was clean and spacious and the view was spectacular. Good food, beautiful grounds and a nice beach. We really enjoyed the adult relaxation pool which they had added since the last time I visited. Overall, a great experience!

Area recommendations

I tend to like the Marina Vallarta area. It's a very nice neighborhood with many quiet, safe areas to walk, either along the beach, the marina promenade, or through the marina residential areas.

“Love the Friendly Hola! We have been going there for the past five years!!!!”

There is only one thing that i can say about necessary improvements at The Friendly Hola- I find the beds uncomfortable. I think they are too hard or maybe spring type mattresses- but my back was killing me. I think it would be a great idea if the Friendly Hola could get some new beds that are comfortable- other than that I LOVE everything about the Hola and will continue to go back year after year as All the good things out way the uncomfortable beds! Everything else is PERFECT and I love the people who work there and they are like family!!!!! WE LOVE THE FRIENDLY HOLA!!!!!!!!!

“Will be back in 8 months!!!”

We took our family of adult children to the Hola in December 2010, and enjoyed it so much my husband and I returned in March, 2011. The best part of the Hola is the staff. Be sure you bring a copy of your reservation email along. If you have that, you can check in in record time! If your room is not ready, you can change in the spa and spend the day on the beach until it is. The staff is second to none. Drinks are okay. Food is better than what we've found in other A-I's. Centrally located...a quick trip to old town or the marina. Ignore everyone in the airport. If you walk out to the street, you can get a cheaper cab. Otherwise, it's almost three times as much to the Hola from the airport than it is to get back. Tip the staff at the Hola. Many work for only a few dollars US per day, so tips are essential for their survival. Look up Abraham on the beach and he'll gladly bring chairs, cushions, umbrellas, and tables. Waiters will bring you food and drinks on the beach. My husband and I and several friends plan to go back in December for our 30th wedding anniversary. You can definitely find nicer rooms in Mexico, but we go to the room only to shower and sleep so rooms make no difference to us. The people make this resort, and PV weather is always the same. BORING. :-) Sunny, warm, and fantastic every day. You should go there!!!

“Very Friendly”

The food and service were excellent. Our room had a partial view of the ocean and part of a service area and it was noisy in the early morning. Not a problem as we didn't spend much time in the room except to sleep. As far as the hotel bars - I would have to say I'd hope they would expand the one inside so in the evening there would be more room for people it gets crowded quickly. The beer is Sol and comes in quarts/bottles and tends to be very warm. So try to stick to mixers if you go. Everyone is willing to make your experience fun so go and enjoy!!!

“Friendly made a perfect holiday”

I have been to PV many times but my husbands first time. The hotel was very welcoming with the perfect lobby to even watch football on sunday. Rooms were very clean and convenient to access. The whole staff was friendly and just so happy and a pleasure to be around. Even excellent service on the beach. The waiter was always getting fresh drinks. The shows were OK and the food was good with limited selection. Some dancing in the evening in the lobby. We enjoyed our stay and would go back. I am returning next year with teenagers but not booking there as the hotel had older vacationer. Thank you Friendly Hola for my another vacation to PV perfect.

“Would return again!”

The Friendly Hola certainly lives up to its name. Every employee greeted us, asked how things were going and if we were having a good time....right from the front desk check-in, the maids, the bartenders to the waiters in the restaurant. Special recognition goes to Abraham, the fellow who gets your lounge chairs and umbrellas on the beach. He always had a BIG smile, worked very hard and always had time to have a little chat every morning. We were there for 3 weeks in Jan., 2011 and the food was good. My husband and I liked breakfast the best as there was always fresh fruit, yogurt, eggs, bacon, pancakes, refried beans, etc. Lunch and suppers at the buffet were good. We always found something we liked to eat. The Mexican gravies and sauces are a little different than what we Canadians are used to, so we asked for the sauces on the side. The Gourmet Restaurant (reservations required) was very good. We went twice and enjoyed the elegant setting and excellent service. There were always lots of activies from kayaking, beach volleyball, bingo, cooking lessons on the beach, city bus tour, etc. The evening shows in the theatre left something to be desired....very loud and for the most part, lame. That is our only complaint. The Friendly is a very old building with uncomfortable couches in the lobby where there is free internet access. The hotel is very dated, but very clean. Our room overlooked the pool and ocean. Very nice. Will return.

Area recommendations

The Friendly Hola is on a very safe hotel strip. There is a shopping centre across the street, a convenience store and laundromat at the end of the lane. Very convenient! I recommend everyone spend at least one day at the market in town and barter for everything. We recomment The Pirate Ship and ATV Jungle tour which includes a stop at the tequila factory. Both were lots of fun!

Getting around

The city bus will take you anywhere you want to go, downtown, the airport, the marina, etc. Most of the really old buses have been replaced with newer ones. For 7 pesos you can get almost anywhere. We took the bus to Buccarias, about 12 miles from PV. The beach there is goreous! We also too the bus to Mismaloya and Tomalitan, both are beaches worth visiting. Taxis are plentiful if you don't want to ride the bus. Always ask how much before you get in. There are different rates for different locations. Rates are very reasonable. (about $5.00 from Hola to downton.)

Outdoors or beach

Our favorite beach is Los Muertos, just southwest of the Malecon. In fact, if you stay on the Malecon, you will arrive at Los Muertos Beach, just a short walk. There are lots of bars and restaurants and a fabulous beach. a must see.

“cant wait to go back”

We had a great Time ,the Hotel is nice and clean .The Staff is fantastic ,the go out of there way.Lots of activities it is never boring wished i had more time.The Beach is just great .The Food is good and the Drinks are not watered down. First week in February you can see the Wales and lots of Dolphins what a side to see right on the Beach just great. We cant wait to get back to the Friendly Hola. The Name says it all.

Area recommendations

Take the Bus to the Malakan see Down Town,if you want to go for real good Seafood go to the Rio Grande Restaurant and for Margaritas go to PIpis.

Shopping

Remember you can Bargain with the vendors on the Beach ,also in the Bargain stores downtown.If you go by the River you can also bargain it is close to the Flea Market,Have fun look araund .
