My husband and I along with our 23 year old daughter and 14 year old son had the best time there at Fairmont Rancho Banderas. We exchanged there through Interval and we have owned and exchanged our vacation timeshare through Marriott for over 14 years. Having traveled all over the world and back, we must say that the people at... more

My husband and I just returned from one week at Rancho Banderas and we loved it! We had a room overlooking the ocean which was wonderful. We were a group of 5 so our room was a 2 bedroom with a hideabed. I had read online that they give you one towel at check in. This is true but it's... more

What a wonderful vacation experience! The resort is amazing! We rented a car, and had no trouble getting around. What I loved: Activities for all the kids/ family, very well-stocked mini market, friendly and helpful staff, DAILY maid service (!!!), 2-for-1 drinks, gorgeous beach, beautiful pool, fantastic view from bar/ restaurant. What could be improved: Loud music played poolside daily... more

Exchanged through Interval International. This resort is beautiful. Lush gardens and gorgeous views. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our party consisted of my husband, my aunt, my child (1.5 yrs) and myself. This resort is more for adults who would like to relax and not so much for families with younger children. The pool was extremely cold and... more

We have just returned from the Puerto Vallarta area 1 week at Rancho Banderas & one week at Playa del Sol Grand and would highly recommend the Rancho Banderas. They are working hard at maintenance - everything seemed freshly painted around our unit & they were busy painting the exteriors of the oceanfront units. Yes, kitchens are minimally furnished but... more

We were four adults and decided to rent a car so we could do some exploring. The car came from Amigos Rent a Car. They were great, our plane was late but they... more

We just returned from the resort. We were there seven days. It is a beautiful resort, beautiful view from the second floor balcony. You must get your food before you check in. We rode a bus to walmart from the airport and then got a taxi from there. But you can't do very much cooking on their two burner stove,... more

We recently returned from a week at Rancho Banderas, an older resort with plenty of Mexican charm and character. There were five adults in our party. The smallness and remoteness of the resort appealed to us since we just wanted to "crash". The view from our balcony was spectacular; we enjoyed eating dinner on the balcony as the sun set.... more

I booked my week through Interval International. For the most part, we had a good time. The resort is nice, although about a 45 minute drive from downtown from Puerto Vallarta. Unless you want to sit at the pool and beach all day, you will need a car. It is very easy to learn the roads (there’s really only one... more
