The property was very tranquil relaxing, and attractive. Great pools, beautiful room. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The beach was nice, but the bay there was too shallow and murky to swim. The room they attempted to give me was adjacent to a very noisy construction zone, where they were building new units. After some awkward discussion, they placed us in another larger room , but at an additional 1/3 higher rate.

Beautiful but boring and no ocean waves
There was good and bad. This hotel is located on very calm water and we like to swim in the waves. Too far to drive for Puerto Vallarta activities. 30 min. drive to surfer beach at Sayulita which was super fun! Vallarta Gardens had very nice people and food but was too quiet and boring for us. They would not let us out of our 6 night booking. (We are 60 years old.)

Vallarta Gardens is a beautiful spot, the gardens are lush.. the room was gorgeous.. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The pools were clean with comfy cabanas available.. but this is not the place to come if you are looking for that typical Mexican party vibe.. bar closes at 8:00 pm, restaurant at 9:00, And only one of a few bars were open.. It’s very quiet and relaxing. That’s our vibe so we loved it!!

I liked that it’s quiet and great place to relax. The staff is attentive and friendly. Besides the dirty socks we found left under the living room table everything was very clean. The food, (lunch and breakfast) were awful and inedible; expensive, bad taste. I would not recommend the restaurant food they serve there

Actual luxury 10 minutes from Buserias.
I’ve been visiting the coastal towns of Nayarit for a while now and I’ve stayed at lots of rentals - this one is the best. The owner truly understands luxury and everyone on staff is attentive and efficient. The rooms are top notch, featuring awesome A/C and fantastic duvets to go with, and there are small carpets on each side of the bed to welcome your feet. Lovely hot shower & fluffy towels too! The resort is nestled beautifully into an oceanside hill and the lush landscaping is perfect. I look so forward to returning!!

Excellent option for a beachside stay somewhat off the beaten track but close to enough to town to be very comfortable. Friendly staff and excellent accommodation. Excellent facilities in a beautiful setting

Lovely
We were pleasantly surprised by this property. We were coming from one of the swanky resorts in Punta Mita, and actually found our suite at Vallarta Gardens to be much more updated and comfortable. The unit was meticulously cleaned, and the finishes were fresh and modern. We were in a 1BR suite and loved the large size with high ceilings, plenty of windows and huge wraparound balcony. The grounds were also beautiful and well maintained, and everyone we encountered was helpful and professional. The beach was a bit disappointing (sandy but no waves and not the best view), and while there were 3 pools, they are pretty small (and one was closed). It looks like they have some nice plans in place to add to the pool areas. All in all we were happy with our short stay here and would book this property again.

Absolutely stunning
This was a beautiful place to stay, the rooms more than exceeded our expectations. The staff was the best so friendly and helpful. I cannot begin to say enough about how great Aldo was he was by far our very favourite employee (and friend now). The resort itself was surrounded by beautiful gardens and lovely pools and private beach. I personally did not care for the music that was played throughout the day I expect it was supposed to be relaxing but I would have preferred something with a little more of a Mexican touch and a little lower volume. The kitchen in our suite could have used a couple of larger pots so we could have made a meal as frying pans were what was supplied and possibly a kettle. The only issue we had during our stay was we were forced into a "fractional purchase" presentation while we were there-we have travelled to Mexico for the last 10 years and have managed to never participate however the "invitation" mentioned that if you failed to show up you MAY be charged full rack rate on your credit card this was the only reason we attended. I would definitely go back to this slice of paradise but I would check on VRBO first.
