Remarks:
"THIS WAS THE MOST AWeFUL VACATION I HAVE EVER TAKEN. I PAID WAY TO MUCH FOR SUCH LOUSY SERVICE, FOOD AND A RESORT THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE ALL INCLUSIVE. WE WENT WITH 7 OTHER COUPLES AND THEY ALL AGREE. NOW THAT'S TERRIBLE WHEN WE ALL AGREE. THIS WAS A FAMILY VACATION , WE ALL WENT WITH OUR CHILDREN. MY POOR SON ATE PIZZA FROM DOMINOS FOR BREAKFAST. I MADE IT THROUGH WITH TOAST AND OJ IN THE MORNING. I WOULD NOT RECCOMMEND THIS RESORT TO NO ONE. NOT EVEN MY WORST ENEMY! I WILL CONTINUE TO TELL EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT HOW HORRIBLE MARIVAL WAS. I WORK FOR THE GOVERMENT AND IF I HAVE TO MAKE A PAGE TELLING PEOPLE HOW BAD THIS REDSORT WAS !!"

Remarks:
"Although the food in the Reserve Resturants was of good quality, the food in the Buffet and Snack bar areas was sub-par at best. The buffet food was always low and dry from sitting, cold and always the same everyday. They have a pasta section with cold pastas and toppings but no one there to heat it up for you, so most people had cold pasta with warm sauce on it. I was very disappointed with this resort considering it has a supposed 4-5 star rating. the staff and rooms were ok and the beach and pools were very good. I would not return to this resort." - Rick from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Remarks:
"We booked thru Funjet and our reservations came that stated all imported and domestic drinks were included, this is basically a lie. All imported and domestic drinks are not included. We ordered an after dinner drink in the Italian restaurant and were informed that it was not included in the package, although several bottles were on display. I informed them that we were all inclusive and it should be included. I asked them if it was domestic they said no. I then said it must be imported then and it is included. They told me it was not. I proceeded to the front desk and told them what had happened they called the restaurant and were told the same thing I was told. So customer satisfaction for the Marival would be minus 7. I would not return to this resort." - CJ from Chicago, Illinois

I can't think of a better place I would've wanted to go. I can't believe I am home already. -: ) Coming to Puerto Vallarta has made me want to move there when I get a little bit older. You can't miss out on an experience like this one!!" - Mollie from Egan, Minnesota

Remarks:
"The resort is beautiful but beds are hard, old horrible pillows, great dining. We were tired when we had to stand in an awful line to check-in, then was approached with staff who wanted to show us around when we were too tired. They pester you then want to show you some rentals or times-hares whatever. Then, the day before check-out, the pick-up company got a little smart with me because I assumed I was suppose to have done it sooner. On top of that when we checked out we were charged $60.00 because we did not have the towel cards. Said we were told there would be a charged if we lost them. But like I said we were tired when we checked in and did not remember about the charge. Towel guy kept the tickets. Scam!! I will never go back there!! Will stick to Cancun. Nice restaurant people but hateful office people." - Brenda from Chicago, Illinois

Remarks:
"The beach location is fabulous! However, our room was minimalisitic and old. The room had a bed, a TV cabinet, and a small table with 2 kitchen chairs. Thats it. We were really disappointed that the staff seemed unfriendly and "worked for tips." I would not recommend this resort. Several other people we know have since had a similar experience. Obviously, the management has issues. Its very difficult to get reservations at the restaurant. They often ran out of food, bottled water, and soda. How can a large resort run out of bottled water??? Its really too bad the service was so basic, because the location is great. This is a 3 star hotel at best, not a 5 star hotel. Choose another hotel if you are coming for peace, relaxation and pampering. We will return to this area, but not to Marival."

Remarks:
"I have been to many resorts in Mexico and Cancun - the Marival was absolutely amazing from start to end. We usually stay at a 4 star - 5 star and I can honestly say this was the most amazing one we have come across so far. I'm also a Mom, so I am also very protective of my daughter and always am picky so that my family is safe and happy at all times. The people of Mexico are always welcoming, but I have to say this resort has left such a wonderful feeling with us all I would book every year there forever but my husband wouldnt let me - ha! he loves to explore.( oh ya and Ive told eveybody we know about it too!) and no I don't know anybody at the resort!" - Michele from Vancouver, B.C.
