Consumer Testimonials

Hello,

I just want to take a minute to thank you for arranging such a great holiday for my family.  Everything went perfectly, the travel, the accommodations at the Marival, and the weather.  Great Job!!

The Marival was just outstanding!  When we check in, they upgraded us to a suite and a room, which worked out so perfectly as we used the living area of the suite as the staging point for the whole family to congregate to decide what we were going to be doing that day.

The Marival had the best accommodations, food, and entertainment that we have experienced.  All day long, no matter where we went, we had food and beverage available, and it was all so well prepared and tasteful.  Our grandson, Mckinley loved the pools and the ocean.  The ocean was the "Big Wawie", and the first words out of his mouth in the morning were, "Big Wawie!"

This will be a vacation the family will fondly remember always, and I want to thank you again for making it all possible.  Please convey our thanks to the Marival also,

Sincerely,

The Waite's, Ned, Cindy, Bryan, Katrina, Brett, Amy and most of all McKinley

Hi, Judy. 

I apologize for taking so long to write to you to let you know how our trip was to the Marival Grand and Club Suites in Nuevo Vallarta from July 2 - 9.  Although it is very different on that side of
Mexico, we did enjoy it.

 

Our room was nice; it was on the third floor of the Club lobby but faced the ocean and we had to climb a spiral staircase to get there.  I was a little disappointed in the lack of amenities in the room, such as no mini-frige and no iron or ironing board.  However, when I asked at the front desk, they brought me an iron/ironing board and an ice bucket within the hour.  We were told they couldn’t bring a mini-frige to the room because it wouldn’t fit up the spiral staircase.

 

The food was surprisingly good in both the buffets and the specialty restaurants and we had no problem making reservations for the specialty restaurants, even though the hotel was supposedly fully booked.

 

The beach was very nice, not nearly as pretty as the Riviera Maya side, but it was clean and the vendors were polite.  If we said no thanks, they did not bother us.  We stayed mainly on the quieter Club side; the Grand side was much too busy for us.

 

We were happy with the Marival for the price that we paid for it.  Thanks so much for recommending it to us.  And a big thank you for the coupons for the complimentary cocktail or headset on the flight!  That was much appreciated!

 

I also would like to thank you for the many resort reviews and pictures that you have on your website.  It is great to be able to see pictures of places before we visit them.  Thanks again and I will certainly be consulting you for our next Mexico vacation.  I am thinking that the Grand Palladium White Sands and Riviera look promising.

Dear Maria,

We just got back from our 7-day 8-night vacation to the Marival Grand and Club Suites in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico and we had a great time.  All 26 of our family members loved it.  The hotel was beautiful and kept very clean.  The food, especially in La Pergola, was good.  The snack bar became redundant but the kids (12 of them ranging in age from 1 - 17) didn't seem to mind.  The alcoholic drinks were, to our surprise, good as well!!!  We never didn't have a meal that was not good.  Mexican Fiesta Night was a lot of fun as well.  The staff, for the most part, was friendly and helpful, especially Francisco the night restaurant manager and Luis the waiter in La Pergola.  I'm sure a little extra tipping helped as well with the housekeepers who always had clean towels, sheets, sheets and designs out of toilet paper and tissues for us (my daughter got a kick out of that).  The entertainment staff was excellent.  The shows at night as well as the pool activities kept us all entertained and still laughing while we look at our videos!!!  Tell your customers to take advantage of the activities on the beach as everyone enjoyed them.  We even opted to pay for the horseback riding on the beach because it was inexpensive and more convenient.  All the kids loved the children's pool and the waterslides kept them well entertained yet the pool was safe enough that we could relax as well.  Would we go back?  If we travel to Mexico again, Absolutely!!! 

 

Thanks for helping us choose a great kid friendly ---  adult friendly resort.
