Hotel Costa Club Punta Arena (Puerto Vallarta, Mexico)

The staff is welcoming and accommodating, and they are eager to help you enjoy your stay in Puerto Vallarta. They're especially happy to attend to any special requests you might have while there.

The hotel has a family atmosphere, and it's a popular spot for families with kids. With a large pool area (and most rooms having plenty of space), it's great for playing with the children. Still, there's an upper pool area with no kiddie pool for adults who want to relax away from the kids.

The hotel is an all-inclusive resort with its own stretch of beach. But there are also various shops, restaurants, bars, and cafes in the area to ensure you have a fun stay.

Though the hotel has its own bit of the beach reserved, there are not many sunbeds available. If you want to sunbathe, make sure to reserve a spot early, or make do with a deck chair in the upper pool area.

There's not much to do for those who like to party; bars close relatively early. Which can be frustrating considering the hotel caters mostly to families (and there are children everywhere).

The food provided at the hotel is somewhat limited. And though some guests have enjoyed it, most have found it uninspired and forgettable. Should you fall in the latter group, you will want to check out a variety of tasty restaurants nearby that offer both local and international cuisine - and the prices are friendly enough they won't break your budget.
