Puerto Vallarta, MX

It’s been so long since I’ve been able to regularly post vacation photos..

A quick run through of the hotel I stayed at this trip.

Hacienda Buenaventura Hotel is a quaint hotel that offers an authentic Mexican atmosphere. It’s an all inclusive that has one pool, a beach club area and two restaurants
The buffet style restaurant opens for breakfast, lunch and dinner while the a la cart restaurant is only available for dinner and reservations must be made the morning if. It’s a very small and intimate restaurant so spots are limited but the food is 🀌🏼🀌🏼🀌🏼
All inclusive means food and drinks and I had no issues getting anything from local beers to food liquor.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the room were nice.
It’s definitely an older hotel but everyone I talked to mentioned the “homey” or “authentic” feel and there were many people who have been visiting the hotel for DECADES.
As with every hotel there are some downsides: only one bar open through out the day. The beach club hours are only 10a-6p and if you can’t walk the two blocks you risk having to wait 30+ minutes. In general the guests were also friendly and willing to get to know strangers or stick to themselves. Saturday there was a “Mexican night” celebrating authentic Mexican cuisine and music. Everyone really seemed to enjoy the night.
You can catch an Uber ride, taxi or bus ride at the hotel.
I can’t wait to come back and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to visit and stay away from the typical touristic hotels.
