The vacation property boasts an incredible beachfront perfect for swimming and lounging, complemented by plenty of palm trees providing shade. While the staff, especially at the Coffee Bar, were exceptional and the inclusion of a sushi bar was a delightful surprise, the overall food quality was just okay. However, the property could use some maintenance and a refresh in its design, especially in the lobby and main entrance, which currently lacks a wow factor.

I had a bit of a mixed experience at the hotel. While the staff were incredibly friendly and tried their best to keep things enjoyable, the facilities and dining options left much to be desired. The beach area was okay for sunbathing, but the loungers were quite uncomfortable. Overall, I wouldn't return unless significant improvements are made, especially regarding the quality of food and room conditions.

My stay at Friendly Vallarta had its ups and downs. The staff were genuinely friendly and made our time enjoyable, and we loved the varied food offerings, especially during breakfast. However, the overall experience was marred by loud music at the pool that detracted from relaxation and repetitive dining options that led us to eat out more than planned. While the location is beautiful, the lack of entertainment and proper attention to adult areas left us wanting more.
