looking forward to returning for longer stay at this


hotel in feb march 08
spent 7 days there feb 07 and enjoyed the time very much
staff and ammenities were just the best
met interesting and friendly guests as well
hope soe who said they return yearly will be there when we are
if you haven't tried this location give it a chance itsjust great

i had a very nice time in this hotel, nice works and a very awesome view of the ocean.

There are currently two sections at the Pelicanos; we stayed at the nicer of the two, II, but one can use facilities at either location. The accommodations were pleasing and staff were accomodating. The omnipresent time share sales people were low-key and eventually blended into the background. The all-inclusive food amenities were ample and tasty, but venturing into downtown or Old Vallarta is a must for a step-up from buffet cuisine. Try the bed cabanas for the ultimate beach side relaxation experience. Re tours, we found the popular Vallarta Adventures to be too crowded; consult guide books, reviewers' comments, or your concierge's guidance to find a good outfitter. Pelicanos is well-located, not far from any popular local destinataion. Walk or take a taxi anywhere for $4-$6 usd.

is a goood place for the vacations

LOVED the service given by the bartenders, especially Alexander and Carlos. Those two made the trip for my boyfriend and I, always cheerful and helpful! We want to travel a lot more in the future, but have trouble thinking of going anywhere else as these two wouldn't be there... haha... they both deserve a good raise and MASSIVE tips if you can afford them, Carlos' Copa de Nada's are amazing, and you can't beat Alexander's Miami Vice's.

Liked the food, basically stuck to the buffet's. Would have liked more time there to experience the a la carte's.

The pool areas were very nice and clean, the beach was fun to run around on but of course is a PV beach not a Caribbean one. No powder-white sand but with all the culture in PV who needs it?
I HIGHLY recommend the Rhythms of the Night tour, a must see, the boyfriend got seasick but still would do it again, it was that good.

Can't wait to go back.

Based on the comments below, I apologize for not rating the Plaza Pelicanos. 5 STARS!!!!!

My husband and I just celebrated our 25th anniversary. We always wanted to go back to the Bahamas where we went on our honeymoon. After checking out the Bahamas, we found out the hotel we stayed at was under a different name and got bad reviews. Our 22 year old daughter did some research on the internet starting in May, 2007, searching for a nice place/hotel for us for our anniversary. Well, she made our anniversary the best and most memorable one ever! She loved what she saw on the internet about Plaza Pelicanos and searched and read reviews on practically every sight!
We had the time of our lives! The hotel, staff,service,bartenders, food, our room, the grounds,&activities we attended were all excellent!
We stayed in Section 1, which was wonderful! After waiting so long for a vacation, it was perfect for us. Clean, quiet, friendly, relaxing, one on one attention with the staff and bartenders...it was GREAT! We couldn't have asked for anything more...except to be left alone while site seeing and walking from those "time share" people! Being raised in New York, it comes easy to "walk away" and ignore them while they try to stop you and follow you an entire block. No big deal!
Section 1 was preferred by my husband and myself over Section 2. Section 2, critics claim is better than 1. Not true if you're looking for privacy, one on one attention, quiet and relaxation. We actually had the entire pool for ourselves one day in Section 1! We had our breakfast, walked around and layed by the pool by ourselves...the bartender made sure to refill our drinks constantly...with only an initial $2 tip that afternoon. It was GREAT!!!!!
We intend on returning next year. We would only stay at the Plaza Pelicanos - Section 1! We love you all....thank you so much for the wonderful vacation we waited so long for! The price is excellent and the staff, service, and food...well, you have to see it to believe it!
Thank you Angel Face for making it possible for us to have the best time we ever had....even more so than our honeymoon!
