Independent Mexican Riviera hotels

"Amazing resort, excellent staff and a lot of nice entertainments... We'll come back for sure. "

"I can't say enough great things about this property! I am so glad we chose RIU Palace, it was everything and more of what we had in mind. The views are stunning! The entire place is immaculate, they are constantly working to maintain the place and it shows. The staff.....everyone is so amazing. Friendly, quick service, totally there to make guests experiences the best they can. I would absolutely recommend this resort. One tip, no jewelry at all on the water slides. I wish I would have known this in advance, since my husband and I weren't comfortable leaving our wedding rings unattended we had to take turns going down the slides with the kids. Not a big deal, just good to know in advance. "

"Nice location"

"The guest rooms opens up/entry to the pool area.. Everyone was extremely sweet and helpful. "

" Very beautiful property "

"It was perfect for our family in terms of buffet options. It would be nice to have variety at the tacos bar restaurant. "

"Velas Vallarta is our new resort of choice. This is our second time vacationing here for short visits 4 to 5 days and so far so pleasant. We’ve been lucky enough to enjoy barbecues on the beach both times outstanding cuisine and entertainment poolside service is above bar, courteous and professional always. The sweets are perfect long rooms with full-size bathrooms, kitchens, and living room rooms. We love our balconies in the second building. We’ve been lucky enough to be on the sixth and seventh floors which have incredible views of the grounds and the ocean. We love Velas Vallarta and we look forward to our next visit."
