Another fantastic stay
This resort is fantastic. We stayed in the preferred tower and had a beautiful view of the ocean. The food is great. The service is really good, and the ambiance is perfectly aligned with each restaurant theme. Special thanks to the restaurant morning crew of Benito, Edgar, Humberto, Cesar, Adrian, Marnay and Maria! They were all incredibly attentive and friendly. Also, our sincerest thanks to our butler, Jose. His help made our stay even better. His knowledge of the area and the restaurants was extremely helpful. If you get the chance, have the romantic beach dinner and watch the sunset. We travel a lot, and we love this place. 4 visits and counting!

Carefree vacation
We had a wonderful stay at Secrets Vallarta Bay. The resort's beachfront location was perfect, offering a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of activities for those seeking them. Our butler, Jose Bacerra, was excellent at keeping us informed about everything happening at the resort. Our oceanfront room was beautiful and provided breathtaking views—we were even able to watch humpback whales spouting right from our balcony. It was truly a memorable experience. Jose Bacerra is a consummate professional who made our entire stay carefree and enjoyable. We would gladly return to Secrets Vallarta Bay.

Jan 19, 2026If you like loud noise, music, yelling, shouting, all day and night this is your place to stay!
Beautiful hotel, great food and service. The restaurant staff were particularly friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the noise from events, beach music, sports bar and lounge area was unbelievably loud. Wondering why the music for a small group has to be broadcast at peak volume across the resort? And All day long. We travelled a long way to feel like we were in or beside a loud bar all the time. The hotel marketing needs to reflect the level of noise accurately. This is a party resort, a wedding venue, and pool bar place first and a relaxing place not at all. The base beat of several forms of music collided throughout the day and the yelling, screaming and shouting of guests was over the top. Will definitely NEVER stay here again, despite the many attempts to sell us vacation packages which we never showed an interest in. Secrets Vallarta, you can keep your vacation packages!

Jan 19, 2026No Canadian Whiskey, No Return Vacation
Puerto Vallarta was amazing!!! Been to Cozumel, Cancun a few times & Acapulco years ago & although amazing vacations/business trips to Mexico every time, I truly felt safest & every single Mexican person we met in PV was over the top friendly. The hotel, pool/beach area was terrific as was the food & beverage service during the day. The Market Cafe, Barefoot Grill, Teppanyaki Tables & Bay Cafe were outstanding, however, the other restaurants & food was hit & miss. Did not appreciate the exceptionally slow check in process at the Preferred Club Lobby & the high pressure presentation that we seemed to be pressured into attending that wasted the entire 1st morning of our vacation. When we declined becoming a Hyatt Member because of the ridiculously high entrance fee, it appeared that we offended the sales agent & manager. They did not want to take no for an answer. Our so called Butler was mediocre & did not go out of his was to accommodate a few simple requests. The biggest disappointment of our all inclusive vacation was that there was absolutely no Canadian Whiskey on the resort. Being that our go-to & primary drink of choice is Canadian Whiskey, for this fact alone, we will never go back to this resort. If we would have known this going in, we would not have selected this resort. We asked our Butler to go off-site to buy some for us, that we were willing to pay for, he wasn’t willing to accommodate our small request. When we have travelled to other all-inclusive resorts in the past, we have come up across our preferred brand being unavailable, although Canadian Whiskey was available, & our Butler was more than happy to get it for us at no cost. Very disappointing here.
