Hotels near Plaza 1480 Nuevo Vallarta, Bahia De Banderas

We booked Sayulinda Hotel for a women's retreat and the staff was wonderful, the rooms were clean, and the hotel itself was beautiful. A wonderful stay!!

After a day of travel we pulled up in a cab and was told by an employee that our reservation had been moved to another hotel. Huh? Sounds the same in English and Spanish. I explained that our reservation was at this hotel and showed her the confirmation from Holiday Inn. Asked to see the manager who quickly dodged from behind the counter and through a door. Hm***h. Sounds the same in both English and Spanish. She showed herself after a 5 minute wait. I explained the problem, showed her the confirmation and was told that this hotel was booked. Yes, but I had a confirmation number. She was going to phone for a shuttle to take us to another hotel. Yes, but our reservation was for this hotel and our luggage was in a taxi outside and he wanted to go get more fares, not watch me make hand signs that meant “in a minute”. So my wife and I hopped in our waiting cab and off we went to another … Holiday Inn, who knew? It was about 750 meters from the first one. If only the manager had told me that she was sending us to a new Holiday Inn to balance the reservations or the work load, or redistribute the reservations to make the new hotel look good to management or something. Very unexpected and unnecessary. By the way, the new hotel is very nice and the staff courteous and helpful. The manager, not so much.

My friend and I stayed at Hotel Mío for 9 nights and we had a wonderful time. It was our first time taking a trip outside of the US, and our stay at Hotel Mío did not disappoint. The entire staff was extremely helpful from the very beginning, from helping us get our bags to the room, to 24/7 room service, and their helpful accommodations to our language barrier. Most of the staff knew English, and if they didn’t, they didn’t hesitate to find someone who could understand and help right away. The woman helping us with our bags went out of her way to suggest night life that we may like to experience, making us feel welcome from the beginning. We spent a lot of time at the gorgeous rooftop pool, where we enjoyed drinks, food, and live music under the beating sun. We had an AMAZING server, Ali, for most of our time at the pool. She remembered us throughout our stay, remembering the drinks we ordered, and engaging in thoughtful communications, showing she went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and accommodated. The manager that we had seen almost every day at the hotel remembered us from the start, and made sure to check in on how we were in passing, while also remembering our orders and helping to accommodate our needs. We will definitely be back in the future, and we hope to see Ali and all of the other amazing staff there as well.

The view from our room was fantastic, the pool itself is very beautifully designed with lots of trees for shade and privacy. However, I contracted Pseudomonas aeruginosa from the pool the very first night of the trip which ruined the rest of our stay as I couldn’t walk and was in severe pain. I knew immediately what was causing the swelling and blisters, so we went to the on-site medical staff to receive a prescription for antibiotics. Paid $155 for the doctor to tell me it was not an infection and to take ibuprofen. Gave it a few days treating with Ibuprofen and it was only getting worse. Ended up moving to another hotel, seeing another doctor to get the prescription I needed and the infection cleared up very quickly thereafter. If not for this combination, the stay would’ve been pretty good. Though I highly recommend you eat elsewhere, as the food was disappointing compared to what you can get at any other restaurant in the area. For the price we paid, we will be staying elsewhere next time.
