Review for Marival Distinct, Puerto Vallarta – 4 out of 5 Stars Overall, it was a delightful experience. While the check-in and check-out process was a bit slow due to ongoing construction, the staff was incredibly friendly. The accommodations were impressive and truly met expectations for this price point. The rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and offered stunning views of the ocean. The food was enjoyable, with a variety of dining options available on-site. However, I would recommend venturing outside the resort to explore local eateries, especially if your stay extends beyond four nights. While the on-site dining is solid, trying different menus can add some much-needed variety. What truly set this experience apart was the exceptional service. From the front desk to the dining, pool and beach staff, everyone was attentive and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. While there are many other options in the area, I would definitely consider returning to for another stay. It was a relaxing getaway with excellent service and quality accommodations made it a memorable trip.

Nov ‘24 there is construction of the main lobby; check in happens in little room to the side and gets terribly crowded. There are very few restaurants but the biggest inconvenience is that the hotel is NOT ON THE BEACH, it takes a long walk to get to the beach assigned to the property.

Everything about the place was so clean and a great place to relax. However, there was a prevalent lack of staff workers, with a small amount of tables and chairs. Yet, the food was amazing and so flavorful. The waiters in every restaurant and by the pool were so kind and helpful!

We felt good value for our money here. We spent most of our time at the infinite pool or beach. My son enjoyed the kids club a couple times as well. We ate at omaggie most of our stay for breakfast. It was buffet. Never tried lemongrass because the hours were in the middle of when we wakted to eat. For lunch we were mostly at the infinity pool, so we would order with our server Paco( Francisco) or get tacos from the taco station. The pool menu had a good selection and great food. We tried several different things from there. Dinner we ate twice at the sister resort and two or three times at insu, amd once at mazzomare. All of the food we had was excellent, except the mexican restaurant at Emotions. It lacked a good selection and wasnt that great in taste. We attempted a show at emotions one night for fiesta night, but we left after 20 minutes. Emotions pool is open way later than distincts. Kids area not that gre Our room was the most basic room of king with a balcony, but it was awesome. It had 2 full bathrooms, washer and dryer, kitchen, dining room table, living room, and seperate bedroom. Staff was all super friendly. They all worked hard to keep the grounds clean and well maintained. We did get approached by our conceirge lady about the membership several times, which annoyed my husband, but after reading reviews it wasnt really a surprise. I warned him. It was a prefect place to have a nice relaxing vacation, even with a five yesr old. We would stay here again.
