Costa Sur Resort Puerto Vallarta

Near the zona romantica, very slow and quiet than the normal PV tourist noise. Short drive to great food and bars, but a little further out if you are trying t get to downtown PV, Not much onsite to brag about, but very chill. Beach access, but very small stretch that isn't rocky. As for the room, outdated but BIG 2 bedroom, wrap-around balcony with a view. Some furniture has seen better days. The tower with the updated rooms (you will have to ask) are those they show on their site.

Costa Sur Resort & Spa is a nice place to vacation. First, they are very serious about following all COVID guidelines. Before entering the hotel, they check your temperature. Every time you leave and return to the hotel, your temperature is retaken. All staff wear masks and gloves, and they also insists on the guests wearing masks except when dining and swimming. Dining tables are spaced apart to adhere with social distancing, and the staff is constantly cleaning everything. Hand sanitizer stations are everywhere. The hotel is nicely decorated with wonderful views of the ocean. It is also closely located to a number of attractions. There are two swimming pools. The main one is very beautiful and there is a smaller one for adults only. The restaurants are open air as well as the bar. I found the food to be very good. The main restaurant’s seafood platter is excellent! The drinks are also amazing. The hotel does provide a “breakfast included” option. I typically look for hotels with a breakfast option because I prefer to try local cuisine outside of the hotel for lunch and/or dinner. The rooms also include nice decor with a lovely large walk-in shower. Water pressure and temperature were excellent! The bed was very cozy and located near the balcony. It was so relaxing listening to the waves of the ocean while resting. The room also includes a kitchenette if you decide to cook. The main lobby includes a little convenience store/boutique. It pretty much has everything you need. Taxis are available right outside of the hotel to take you to destinations in and around the city. Uber can also pick you up and drop you off right in front of the hotel. The beach at the hotel is private; however, it is rocky. It does not have smooth sand. That didn’t deter some people. People still swam, sunbathed and snorkeled. Overall, this is a very nice hotel to stay at for vacation, and the staff is very nice and helpful.
