Cheap Hotels in Gastronómica

Resort is somewhat dated. À la carte restaurants were good but the buffet was poor. There is a long history of people routinely becoming ill here for whatever reason. I believe that it was norovirus when we were there.

The food was delicious, the upgrade elite wristband is definitely worth it! The elite drinks were amazing!

This review is on RIU Flamingo because I was moved there upon arrival because at check-in, they had an IT issue that was preventing them from making key cards to access the rooms at RIU Vallarta. The Room was clean however the housekeeper comes way too early when you’re in deep sleep. Who comes 8:30am to clean rooms on vacation?Of course vacationers are sleeping in after a fun night on the property. The staff spoke very little English but that’s ok, I translate with my phone, they were helpful once they understood what you’re asking. There was a variety of food but was quite bland at times, but the overall efficiency in service made up for it. The Bar made the worst drinks ever ! You could drink 50 drinks all day and you wouldn’t feel tipsy. They would fill the cups with liquor and yet when you taste it, there was nothing ! And I am not even a drinker. I usually get tipsy after having 1 drink. But for some reason all their drinks were like fruit juice. The entertainment was not good at all. The best one was the Neon Party. The Disco club on the property was the highlight of my trip lol it opens at 11pm till 2am. I had a time! The pools were great but I think the kids needs to have their own section, kids were every where. The beach was actually quite bad. Very rough and shallow, water was dark grey instead of blue. They really need more elevators throughout the hotel. They sent a gift to my room on my birthday. Hotel is very far from amenities & Romantic Zone. Love RIU

Older property but great cuisine

Yes to all. We very much enjoyed our time at Hyatt Ziva. The pools were great and offered both adult only pools and those for adults and children.

The rooms were beautiful. The resort is very clean and the
