Top Independencia Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Vallarta - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Great value for the money. More than a basic all inclusive, but not a premium experience. No upgrades to speak of available. No room service or coffee shop."

Barceló Puerto Vallarta - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"We recently stayed at Barceló, and overall, it was a memorable experience. I'm writing this review specifically for travelers who, like me, like to know what to expect before arriving. Beyond simply rating the resort, I wanted to provide practical information that may help with planning, from accommodations and dining to transportation, activities, and a few things to consider before your trip. I'll highlight both the positives and areas where knowing what to expect ahead of time can make your stay more enjoyable. One of the things that stood out to us was how friendly and helpful the staff were throughout our stay. The swim-up bar was also a nice spot to relax and enjoy the day. I was especially impressed by how much work goes into maintaining the resort. The staff are constantly working behind the scenes to keep everything clean and well cared for, and their hard work definitely shows."

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel & Mexican Charm - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"When we first got there, we had asked to switch rooms because the room we got was extremely small, and there were multiple things falling apart with the room. Once we upgraded our room, the room was perfect. It had enough space and seemed to be a more updated room. The staff was incredible and so nice and helpful throughout the hotel however, the check in staff weren’t very friendly (except for Laura). Overall we had a great stay"
