My wife and I traded into the Playa Del Sol Grand and I was apprehensive due to the reviews we had read prior to traveling. We are accustomed to the time share bandits and avoided them at the airport. We also know that it's cheaper to arrange your own ride at the curb and there is no waiting. The weather... more

We stayed at Playa Del Sol Grand from July 11 -18th. Our experience was mixed. We had traded our time share for a 2 bedroom/2 bath. It was ready when we arrived and was lovely. We were on the second floor facing the pool. While the rooms were a bit tired, they were comfortable. The pool was very nice, but... more

This is a great place to stay if you are looking for comfortable and friendly accomodations in a great location for beach walking, swimming, relaxing, and short walks to Bucerias. It is not fancy but the pool is great and the staff seem to work hard to meet your needs. We rented a car on site for 2 days and... more

I just got back from a week's stay at The Playa Del Sol Grand. I must admit, after reading the reviews, I thought I had made a horrible decision to stay there. The reviews were very helpful, and I know each has their own impression and opinions about the resort, but I found it to be absolutely wonderful. True, it... more

Before getting to discussion about the hotel, let me warn you of the time share salespeople at the airport. You go through a gauntlet of these people to get to a taxi or your shuttle. They misrepresent themselves as your connection to your pre-arranged shuttle, and even get a little agressive, absolutely insisting you must talk with them. DON'T! It... more

We just returned from the most horrid vacation of our lives. After planning this trip for months we were astonished at the rudness of the front desk staff, the screaming kids in almost every room and MORE screaming kids over-running the pool area. There was a swim up bar that we could not get near because of all of the... more

Playa del Sol is a hotel for couples that need to relax, just that. If you are looking for nightlife, do not stay here. The bar closes at 10pm and there's nothing close open around the hotel. Downtown Puerto Vallarta is about 30 minutes from Playa del Sol and it will cost you around $220 pesos to get there, another... more

This was my second trip to PDSG. Last trip we bought a membership for a 1 bedroom lockoff, which is a room w/ lockoff bedroom (no kitchenette) and additional bedroom w/ den/kitchen. The value of this unit was in getting two bedrooms for the price of one, with one completely private bedroom. PDS tried their hardest to avoid letting us... more

Traveled to PDSG on June 20th-27th. Returned 4 days ago from a great trip. So before we left my girlfriend and I read reviews on Tripadvisor.com. Everything looked good with the exception of one post from March 21st, 2009 stating bedbugs were present. This concerned my girlfriend but I assured her it wasn't a big deal and it was probably... more
