Business & Location
Friendly Fun Vallarta Different Experiences features impressive
“Friendly Fun Vallarta is aptly named; the all-inclusive resort emphasizes experiences for both families and adults, from its private beach on Banderas Bay to dedicated pool spaces. Dining ranges from traditional Puerto Vallarta flavors to international fare, alongside three on-site bars. I think its location strikes a nice balance too, with the Malecon just a short drive away, and many of Puerto Vallarta's attractions accessible.”

I had a wonderful vacation at the Friendly Vallarta Resort! The beach was beautiful and well-maintained, and the staff were super attentive, making my stay truly enjoyable. I loved the various dining options, especially the alfresco meals, but it can be a challenge to reserve beach chairs due to the early hours. Overall, this resort offers great value, but the chair reservation situation could use improvement.

My experience at this resort was superb! The warm welcome I received made me feel at home right away. The beach was stunning, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure I enjoyed my stay.

Our stay at the Friendly Fun Hotel was an overall great experience, especially thanks to the amazing staff who made us feel welcomed. While the check-in was quite chaotic, and there were a few hiccups like room selections and noise from the surroundings, the friendliness and efforts of the staff truly enhanced our vacation. We loved the various activities offered, although the loud DJ wasn't our favorite part. The food was plentiful and delicious, though some of the amenities could use some attention.
Rooms
6.0
We initially received a room with two double beds instead of the king size we requested, which was quite uncomfortable for my tall husband. However, once moved to a king room, our comfort improved significantly even with some lingering smells from the smoking area.
Service
7.0
Service from the staff was generally very friendly and helpful. A special shoutout to the housekeeping lady who really went above and beyond to find me a mini fridge for my meds, unlike the front desk staff who could have been more accommodating.
Location

The hotel is in a lively area with a vibrant atmosphere, but we did experience some noise issues due to its proximity to a smoking section and guest traffic. On the up side, there's plenty of activities and amenities available nearby.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were generally clean and spacious but lacked some modern amenities and comfort. Service was friendly, and the staff made an effort to accommodate us. The dining options were repetitive but satisfactory. The location is great for accessing the beach and local attractions, although some details, like beach chair availability, could be improved.
Rooms

The rooms were clean and spacious, but they felt a bit basic and dated. We had an issue with a lock that took a while to resolve. Some amenities were missing, which added to the frustration at the beginning of our stay.
Service

The staff was friendly and genuinely helpful, always quick to get us our drinks. However, they didn't enforce some rules clearly, which affected our experience at the beach.
Location

The hotel is nicely situated close to the beach and within walking distance to shopping and dining spots. It offers a lovely ocean view but can get busy due to vendor presence.
Dining
7.0
The food varied, and while there were enough choices, the menu felt repetitive, particularly at dinner with pasta being overly featured. It was good, but a little more variety would have been nice.
Facilities
6.0
Facilities were decent, but they could use some updates, especially regarding the beach loungers and umbrellas, which were uncomfortable and worn out.

I had a delightful three-day getaway at this resort, where I found the service outstanding and the atmosphere quite relaxing. The beach was beautiful, although the setup felt a bit crowded for my taste. The food options, especially at the buffet, didn't quite meet my expectations, but I always found something enjoyable to eat. Overall, it's a great place for those seeking a low-key holiday by the beach.
