We were a group of 5 (including 2 small children) and found Marival to be a wonderful location and establishment for an easy and enjoyable family holiday. There are many resorts that don't have separate bedroom suites and we rented a 2 bedroom that was ground floor and ocean front and it could not have been a more perfect set... More

This was by far the best vacation I've ever taken. I love the all inclusive package. The food and service are excellent. I'll be going back again this summer. Hopefully I will be able to go on more of the excursions that are available.

We warrived with caution at the hotel, having read all this negativ comments about this hotel. Just arrived in the afternoon and there is no queue at the check in desk.

We stayed here over Easter weekend and first week of April. Having never been to the Puerto Vallarta area, I was pleasantly surprised! The hotel location is near perfect - situated right on a beautiful beach, with manageable surf (but enough for some fun on the boogie boards). The location of our two-bedroom suite was also superb - as close... More

This was our first time to Marival and our first time at an all-inclusive so unfortunately we don't have anything to compare it to. Staff was very friendly & helpful and although many other people have complained about time-share presentation pressures, we just said a firm "no" and they didn't bug us anymore. The grounds were always kept immaculate and... More
