This was my first time in Puerto Vallarta and at this hotel and it definitely will not be my last. The hotel name says it all. The staff, the hospitality, the food, the people, the area, the music and entertainment…..just about everything was absolutely amazing. Thank you Hotel Friendly Fun Vallarta for an amazing time.

Staff are friendly and cleaning ladies do a good job. We changed rooms , no problem, because of a crying baby. First room had a door to separate the two rooms. Also first room had a cracked sink and toilet. Second room was much better. No door for adjoining rooms. Much quieter. Plenty of variety for food. If you don’t see shrimp or bacon, you can ask, they probably have some. Good variety on entertainment. Activities staff are super friendly and add a lot of fun. Beautiful sunsets!
John, 15-night trip

8/10 Very good

We loved our time here but they could change a couple things. They have no place to play cards and the main area is so noisy chairs and voices echo and are almost unbearable. The food was good, taco restaurant was Awsome. The barbecues were well done, had delicious fish one night, another a fiesta which was great. Didn’t try the specialty restaurants. Found it hard to know how to book these. We were there for 10 days and enjoyed our holliday

Ignore the bad reviews if you are someone who is easy-going and wants to have good service and a great beachfront location. I travelled with my three year-old and we had a great time! The waiters are so quick to bring you drinks right to you on the beach, most of the vacationers are over 60, which I love because a lot of of them have great vibes and are there for a good time! Lots of locals as well! We had a great time and I'm so glad we didn't listen to the negative reviews. My only downfall is the buffet is quite minimal and there aren't many food options… That's my biggest complaint. The rooms are super basic as well, but the outside pool and beach area were so great! It's a smaller resort so you get to know everybody really quickly which I loved.
Chantal, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Food was below average! Same every day, buffets were serving same food, quality very disappointing. At least staff were great! Pretty clean overall.
Florina, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

Serving staff were not well trained. Food section was lacking for tthose of us with food allergies and sensitivities. Need more loungers by pool instead of beds - shortage of seating. In comparison to pre-covid, entertainment?

Friendly family!

We absolutely love the Friendly, we have been coming here for iver 15yrs. They had a little hiccup after covid with the nightly entertainment. They have returned to the same fun place it was before, with the same wonderful staff! It speaks volumes when a place can retain the same staff for over 15yrs! We love you all! Double double, hugo, tony, kalucha,barillio,teo, and the many more! The list is endless.

Friendly Fun Hotel it's small but makes you feel you're at home. Hotel needs a HUGE remodel in the restaurant area, bedrooms and exterior. All the rooms have old damaged restrooms, leaking faucets ,cracked, toilet bowl. The restaurant dust and rust all over, old cups, dosheswear that needs to be trashed and they still keep using it. The food, the worst you could imagine. Not sure was is called all inclusive is is not worth it. Clearly a rip-off. 1st and last time I'll be visiting this location.
