Club Regina Puerto Vallarta Best of IgoUgo

Hotel | "Club Regina at the Westin"

Quote:
Best Things Nearby:New MarinaBest Things About the Resort:Cleanliness, view, hot tub.Resort Experience:Our stay at the Westin was very good. The only drawback was that they have signs in the pool areas restricting the bringing of food or beverages from your room. They want you to purchase them from their snack bar. I always thought a timeshare was a good way to travel inexpensively, and not to be a captive to the inflated prices of food and drinks at these resorts. Unit Type: 1 Bedroom Activities: Very Good Amenities: Excellent ...Read More

Best Things Nearby:Close to town in the southern district of Puerto Vallarta.Best Things About the Resort:Restaurant, secluded beach area, friendliness of staff.Resort Experience:The restaurant was excellent in food preparation, servers, and overall prices. Privacy of the beach was great. The rooms were of ample size for four people, but the lack of air-conditioning proved a drawback. The traffic noise from the highway adjacent to our room #803 was so loud that sleeping was interupted frequently by trucks grearing down and using the engine compression as a braking tool. It was warm at night in the rear of the unit where the bedroom was located, not allo...Read More

Tex-Mex buffet was okay, but not up to the standards to make it an above average meal. A bit pricey for what you received. Another night for their seafood buffet, the meal was less than anticipated and not nearly as good as other restaurants visited in Puerto Vallarta. As always the food was pricey at the Westin, whether for drinks and snacks around the pool areas or at the Palmar Restaurant.

Lindo Mar Resort Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant

Quote:
Dined at this resurant frequently. The food and service were excellent and the prices very good. The restaurant is located directly below El Set, offering a great view that's as good as or better than El Set. The breakfasts were excellent and priced from $4-$6US, while the dinners were from $8-$20US for specialty dishes as jumbo shrimp. The staff was excellent and attentive to our every need. I would recommend this restaurant at the Lindo Mar to anyone seeking a classy but down to earth dining experience in Puerto Vallarta.

Cafe Tacuba/Victor's Place Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "Victor's Place"

Quote:
Victor's Place is in the marina near the south side entry. This is an open patio type of restaurant that serves beer at $1 a bottle all day, has great margaritas, and a variety of items on the menu from seafood to American dishes. We ate at this restaurant several times, and after the first occasion were instantly recognized by the owner Victor, who as a goodwill gesture delivered free after dinner liquors to our table. He also made it a point to talk to everyone he recognized from previous sittings. This restaurant was a relief from the restaurants at the Westin Regina, where we were staying. Tourists weren't treated as dollar signs, proving there are honest restauranteurs that provide their c...Read More
