Top Colonia 5 de Diciembre Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Palace Pacifico - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

Delta Hotels by Marriott Riviera Nayarit, An All-Inclusive Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved the resort. The staff was exceptional. So kind and friendly and we were constantly offered rides in the golf cart while we were in the lobby and walking around the resort. Our room was so clean and it was cleaned daily always with new towels and a restock of the drinks in our fridge, and the shampoo and body wash smelt SO GOOD, I’m trying to find it for my house lol. The food options were pretty good, I would say the Mexican buffet for breakfast and dinner, especially dinner, was far superior than the Italian buffet and the international breakfast. Now the teppanyaki dinner was by far the best. I recommend getting 2 reservations for dinner because I regret not doing it twice. Everything was so good, and the chef put on a show for sure!! All of the lunch options were great as well, especially the shrimp tacos from the bar in tower 6, I forget the name. The coffee bar, organic and co was also delicious and had great non dairy milk options! The private beach club was beautiful as well, and super good food! The ice cream at the 24 hour pantry was awesome too, just remember the ice cream service ends at 9 pm! There was also tons of cute cats and other wild life around the property, lots of iguanas! They did leave poop on the walk ways at times so just look out for that but it never smelt while we were walking around! It was cleaned pretty frequently too from what I could tell. All in all, I loved this resort and hope to be back one day!!"

Buenaventura Grand Hotel & Great Moments - All Inclusive

4/10 Poor

"Our room was hot. The pool was filthy. The food was ok, but the selection at breakfast was very limited. Overall, the images on their website did not represent this property. Without question, not staying at the Nobuenavista again. "
