Positive Reviews
positive:
Excellent place for relaxation
The establishment and the neighborhood are quiet. You can relax in the coves separated by the rocks at the beach, which is just a walking distance from the establishment. Moreover, the outdoor Jacuzzi is also a good facility to relax.
positive:
Quality beach experience
The Westin Resort & Spa Puerto Vallarta is in the beach area. You can walk to the marina in about 10-15 minutes. From the hotel, while walking towards to the beach you will find covered cabanas. In addition, you can find many restaurants at the beach area.
positive:
Many nearby options for public transportation
There's a bus stop two to three-minute walk from the hotel. The bus runs every 10-15 minutes, and is the cheapest way to get downtown. If you run out of buses to ride, you can easily flag a taxi.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Additional charges are plenty
Many find it absurd that Wi-Fi is still not free in a hotel of this caliber. Tea bags and additional coffee also come for a price upon request. Moreover, the luggage scale is coin operated.
negative:
Unkempt hallways
One of the main gripes about the property was the used room service trays, plates, and other dirty utensils that lined the hallways. This is inexcusable at best, not to mention unsightly and unsanitary. Do not hesitate to call for a staff to have these issues fixed if you witness them.
negative:
Pool is not well maintained
The pool was actually nice, but it needed a good scrubbing. If you hate seeing settled dirt in the crevices, and further hate the fact that some of the tiles were missing, then this is a bad news for you. However, you can try to enjoy other amenities on-site, or simply go to a nearby tourist attraction to enjoy.
