Playa Del Sol Costa Sur Puerto Vallarta July 10-18, 2008 Spent 8 days at this resort and well was worst vacation I have experienced in Mexico. I will not ever be returning to this resort. I obtained this unit as a bonus week thru SFX after depositing a Mayan Palace Regency 2 bedroom. We arrived at resort with SFX confirmation... more

We rented 4 large units (1 to 2 bedroom suites) for our family reunion. The units may need a little upgrading but overall the experience was great. I especially recommend it for families with kids. The property has invested in a retaining wall that allows people to swim and enjoy the sea in a protected environment. The lagoon type of... more

This place is all about setting your expectations. First the Good: At $100 per nite for a big 1 bedroom unit with a kitchen, I think it's a helluva deal. The staff was friendly and nice, the bartenders were good (good Margies), the 2 pools were great. Not HUGE like some resorts but clean and nice. The main pool is... more

Well I've stayed at PDS 6 times in my life as my parents have owned there for 30 years. This week was the worst trip by far. I had forgotten how hard the beds are... One night my wife and I put the kids in the Queen and she and I slept on the pull out couch. That mattress is... more

We are owners of PDS and have always enjoyed our stay, of course having a 2 bdrm corner suite with a view of the pool and the coast line to the north might have something to do with it. Rooms are always clean and yes the beds are somewhat firm, I survive and the staff is friendly and will always... more

Well as a few of you, after reading the reviews about this resort i was skeptical about our stay. But after arriving and getting such friendly attention from the staff, I admit my feelings were wrong about the resort. Yes it does need some renovations, which i hear they are going to do. but the service made up for it.... more

If you enjoy staying at an early 1980s Motel 8 off a noisy interstate in the US then you will feel right a home here. The hotel staff first off lied about the hotel being renovated, it is NOT. Next the hotel room smelled moldy and was generally very shabby. The bed was the worst of all and I'm still... more

My husband and I are owners at all the Playa del Sol Resorts. We have only ever traveled to Costa Sur due to the fact that the entire resort is feet from the ocean. Every room has a full view of Banderas Bay. Yes the rooms are a little outdated, but the owners are waiting for the former Costa Vida... more

The first night we arrived the room smelled pretty bad and it was blazing hot. We complained and switched rooms the next day. The rooms are somewhat run down and the towels and bedding are pretty old. The staff was not very friendly. We had several experiences with staff being less the helpful and sometimes they were just rude. Of... more

My wife are owners at PDS Grand, but we wanted to stay closer to town so we stayed at Costa Sur. It is odd what PDS considers a 5 star gold crown resort. The decor is dated, but the room we had (1102) was was ok despite that. The view from the room was amazing, literally amazing. I have stayed... more
