First the pluses. Super friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful views from the room which was spacious although bathroom only OK. Good food at the hotel restaurant and reasonably priced for an upscale resort. Negatives. Quiet bordering on creepy, only two other couples there, restaurant always empty. Lack of dining choices within the resort area (we didn't have a car). The... More

I went here as one of the resorts on my honeymoon and it was exactly what one would expect from such an experience. The hotel only has 52 rooms but because we went in the low season there were only a handful of other guests there at the same time. The service was impeccable, the food was very, very good,... More

We spent a few days at the nearly empty resort and loved every minute. The room was one of their less expensive, but the view was good, over the pool and out to sea. The food was exceptional, every meal, every bite. Their corn cream soup at dinner was the winner. After the huge desayuno americano, we walked it off... More

We stayed in one of the casitas beside the Careyes Beach Resort but ended up using the hotel every day, we had breakfast there every morning, the food was exceptional and good-sized portions, very elegant presentation, impeccable service, beautiful pools, very exclusive and private, excellent for relaxation. This hotel has a private beach as well and we visited the spa... More

We flew into Puerto Vallarta, rented a car from Gecko car rental and drove to El Careyes. This was a 2 1/2 hour drive. A bit on the crazy side, but very scenic and enjoyable. You can stop on the side of the road and enjoy and ice cold beer. Do not recommend doing this drive at night though. We... More

Tucked away in Costa Alegre area between Puerto Vallarta & Manzanillo. Easier to get to the resort from ZLO. We fly direct 3 hr from LAX. An older but very colorful complex with attentive staff. Has its own beautiful little beach or walk over or kayak to Playa Rosa to the north or Careyitos beach to the south. Pool area... More

1. Getting there: the drive takes 3 hours from the airport at Puerto Vallarta. The three legs of the jouney are: a). Drving through PV. b). Mountain jungle driving, and c). Open country 2 lane country road. We stayed for 3 nights, and wish we one more night. Flying in from Manzanillo would have been easier, but flights are infrequent... More

Our daughter found this resort searching for the perfect place for her wedding. 80 of us gathered for a week and it was really extraordinary. The one downside of the travel form Puerto Vallarta is quickly forgotten when you are greeted with a fresh cloth and refreshing drink at the car. The rooms are spectacular, ours had a pool on...

Our visit to El Careyes last year was a wonderful one- The resort was a gem! The only part that I might have changed about the trip however would be the airport to choose as there is a huge difference in the driving distance. I would insist on flying to the Manzillo international airport rather Puerto Vallarta. The driving time... More
