Hi after reading some of the earlier reviews I was worried about going here, but no worries it was great. I have travelled to over 20 all inclusives and I thought this was great for the money. The staff were terrific, the food was good. I have to admit I have had better a la carte restaurants elsewhere but all... More

Had another great P.V. vacation. Tried the Crown Paradise last year but way too many small children so thought we would try the Friendly Vallarta. An awesome choice. I've been going to P.V. with my daughters 23, 19 and a friend of there's who's 20 and added my 12 year old to the trip this year. The Friendly had something... More

Staff was awesome- so attentive and friendly! Rooms are clean and spacious. Massages at the Spa are very good. Food was good and the beach is lovely.... More

Stayed here Feb/11, 2 weeks. Good value for the dollar. The only thing that was above average was the outstanding service from ALL that work there.Remember...good value for your dollar means sharing with the PARTIERS and all rooms are adjoined by an inside door...and you can HEAR everything, And share your neighbours legal and illegal smoke. That door and the... More

That means all the food and drink , including alcohol and room and entertainment. The resort is in a handy area to everywhere, it has a... More

Truly, the staff makes it what it is! We stayed for 2 weeks and would have easily stayed longer if we could! This time I requested a... More
