Fodor's Expert Review Marival Emotions Resort and Suites
Paseo de los Cocoteros at Blvd. Nuevo Vallarta, 63735, Mexico
Come here if you're looking for an all-inclusive bargain with a wealth of activities. On the one hand, rooms have strong air conditioning and amenities like hair dryers, irons, and ironing boards; on the other, they have small tubs, cheap doors, and uninspired modern decor. There's an extra charge, inexplicably, for the use of in-room safes. Only a few units have ocean views, but there are plenty of individual palapas and lounge chairs at the beach. If you go to bed early, avoid the Club building, with a downstairs karaoke bar that goes on until midnight.
PROS
- value-priced
- immaculately kept grounds
- premium booze brands
CONS
- most rooms have no tub or an uncomfortable square tub
- musty smell in some rooms
- cheap finishing touches like plastic chairs and fake plants
