I stayed at Marival with my friend and her family for a small wedding. The wedding on the beach was beautiful. The Italian, Mexican, and Mediterranean restaurant were good. I thought the Italian was the best. Margaritas were great at the Mexican restaurant. Breakfast was great at the Mediterranean. There is a dress code and most people followed it. Definitely... more

We just returned from our stay at the Marival (July 1-7). We have 3 children...13, 9 and 6. We had never been out of the U.S. prior to this trip. We had the time of our lives. The beach was maticulous, the pools were perfect (and so many to choose from), there were grounds keepers working hard to keep the... more

We stayed at the Marival (6/28/08 to 7/7/08) with our adult children (20-27), and their boyfriend, girlfriend and friend. Check-in Check in went very smooth, which says a lot when you are checking in with 10 people. We had 5 rooms and 4 were on the Club side and one was on the Grand. We asked to have them moved... more

If you're looking for a quiet get away do not book at Marival. Puerto Vallarta wasn't given proper justice due to this resort. Because of this, we will most likely never return. First of all - the accommodations are outdated, cleanliness of the amenities are questionable (i.e. a murky pool, bugs in the food - yes two dead flies floating... more

Our family of four (two teenage sons) went to the all-inclusive Marival resort near Puerto Vallarta in June of 2008. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. The weather was not too muggy. There was a Texas music flavor to the week which was fun. Lot's of good bluegrass and country. The price was also reasonable. I would say it... more

Our stay was 6/25 - 7/2/2008. We are a family of four, two girls 4 and 10. We booked a last minute deal through Funjet.com. Our package included charter air (direct flight), hotel and transfers. Our entire vacation price was very reasonable. I suggest booking through a company like Funjet. You will get a good price, and they help you... more

We booked this as a late deal (£720 all inc). Firstly, the airport was hassle free for us. From plane to transfer bus must have taken no longer than half an hour which is a bonus. The airport has recently been done up - its a very clean and nice space. The weather was amazing the first week with a... more

I use Trip Advisor a lot; we love to hear what others have to say about destinations we choose for our family vacations. Some have been on the money, others have been a little off but overall, they have helped us to see what we have to look out for or forward to. We just returned from our trip tonight... more

The staff is very nice and is always smiling. Our first impression of the resort entailed hordes of time shares people.Big waste of time and shamefully allowed by management. We did not know and we politely agreed to go to a presentation. Very pushy sale tactics. The hotel does not have AC in common areas like the buffet dining room,... more
