Dec 20, 2025Easy family resort but dirty pool
Staff friendly and helpful, most of them were fun with the kids. The waterpark made the trip for our 3 year old however the hotel needs major maintenance and upgrades and the pool was dirty/cloudy and really gross! For a trip to see your kids have fun for the affordable price it is worth it if you’re the type of person who can turn a blind eye to the state of the hotel

Dec 20, 2025Amazing Location and Great Service!
Sunscape Puerto Vallarta is an older property, but it is set on a very beautiful beach, it is close to downtown. and every one of the employees at the resort goes above and beyond to make your stay fabulous. There is a nice variety of food at each meal, a large pool, and a variety of activities and shows. UVC representative Carolina was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely return again sometime in the future!

Good family vacation
Had a good vacation at resort.not a 4 star but definitely a 3 star. Beach was rocky but nice. Entertainment great, staff great. Buffet was horrible!! 3 stars hotels in cuba have more variety than here in buffet!!! A la cart restaurant was good, italian was amazing only negative no kids under 8yr old allow, which is a big negative for a family resort!! If you get a good deal go, cause overall all it was a good vacation. More positives than negatives.
