Yes they will see us manytimes over and over as the staff was just wonderful and all the best to you Charlie. My son and I stayed for a week and everything was so relaxing and nice to get away. I hope everyone looks hard at this as it is one of the best for family and friends.Food out of this world and as a very picky eater I ate very well. Cheers to you all at the FRIENDLY

Hi after reading some of the earlier reviews I was worried about going here, but no worries it was great. I have travelled to over 20 all inclusives and I thought this was great for the money. The staff were terrific, the food was good. I have to admit I have had better a la carte restaurants elsewhere but all in all it was terrific. The pools are warm the beach is terrific. I think people always need to remember that is is not Las Vegas, its Mexico and some things are expected.

A couple of hints before you go. Email them even twice if you have to to let them know you want a room in the main tower over the 5th floor. Also if you tell them you that you really need a fridge, you will have one. I did both of these before I went and had a great room and a fridge.

Take the bus to downtown as they are always there and only about .65. The lobby is noisy at night but being in the tower makes a huge difference.

I would also recommend to take some American $1 bills to tip as they staff make very little and work very hard to get tipped. Each day they make appys around the pool so try them out.

Well I won't go on, but trust me this was a great and I mean great place to stay! Also I was on my own and made tons of friends while I was there.

Had another great P.V. vacation. Tried the Crown Paradise last year but way too many small children so thought we would try the Friendly Vallarta. An awesome choice. I've been going to P.V. with my daughters 23, 19 and a friend of there's who's 20 and added my 12 year old to the trip this year. The Friendly had something for all of us, lots of entertainment in the lobby bar, where everyone young and old could party, great food in the a la carte restaurants as well as the gourmet restaurant, wonderful beach, close proximity to pretty much everything, an always-smiling staff, good size gym, great sauna and large heated pool with a separate pool just for the adults. There were maybe 10 to 15 children in total of all ages so my 12 year old met a few kids and had a blast. Awesome beach party as well with excellent food. We'll definitely be back next year!

This was my third stay...and it just keep getting better every year. Noticed that many of the customers were repeat visitors as well (from last year) - tells you something about the place. Staff was awesome- so attentive and friendly! Rooms are clean and spacious. Massages at the Spa are very good. Food was good and the beach is lovely. Bought this package on Red Tag and flew with Air Transit. Was pleasantly surprised with the price, service and overall quality of the holiday. Will be back next year!
