“Great off-the-beaten-path resort!”

Reviewed 9 June 2013

We have been coming to Costa Sur (formerly Costa Vida) for nearly 10 years as timeshare owners, and it keeps getting better every time. Although there are many things to do in PV, the resort has practically everything you need. The restaurant is superb, the accomodations are excellent, all with panoramic ocean views. However, my favorite part is the staff,... More

First time at Costa Sur and we had such a good time!! Being it was my husband's birthday, we were greeted upon check-in with a birthday song and cake to our room!

“Amazing Ocean Views”

Reviewed 28 May 2013

Older and a bit tired style Mexico. Rooms very clean. Bed was comfortable.Plenty of towels and a little mini kitchen in our studio was perfect. The kitchens need a counter update, lifting linoleum. All units have beautiful ocean views. We took our dining chairs out on our patio and watched the dolphins swim by every morning. The staff was exceptional.... More

“Great Hotel if you dont mind being out of town”

Our 11th floor corner room was perfect, large, comfortable, clean with an awesome view. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, unlike our usual experience in Mexican hotels. Air conditioning was great, as was the shower pressure, and it was wonderful to have a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker! The pool was very nice. The included breakfast was perfect and tasty.

Thank you very much for your positive review. We are always looking for ways to improve the guest experience at Costa Sur. We will make doubly certain that the drinks served are above reproach and fairly priced. We generally get good comments on the beach because the protected lagoon allows the relaxed use of a wonderful swimming area. But if... More

“Our good times at Costa Vida”

Reviewed 23 May 2013

We visited our time share at Costa Vida (as it was then known) for many years, usually during our two week option during the Thanksgiving recess. The weather in Puerto Vallarta at that time of year is ideal, with virtually no rain and no oppressively hot, muggy weather either. We could always expect high standards of cleanliness and prompt cleanup... More

Your long history at the property makes your comments even more welcome. We very much hope to see you here every year for many years to come. You and the resort are clearly make a natural “fit”. Come back “home to Mexico” whenever you can – we will always look forward to your stays. More

“Wonderful time at Costa Sur - LarryG”

I have been vacationing in P.V. for 22 years. I first started trading my Hawaii timeshare for what was then Costa Vida in 1991. Since then I have bought 2 weeks at this resort. I look forward to this time every year. Our room is always very clean and the staff is great. This place has the best ocean view... More

Wow! What a great review! Your comments read like a set of goals for making our guests happy. Yes, recharging batteries is a big part of our business, so we are especially pleased that it worked for you. And, yes, you are right: we do have the best ocean view in Vallarta. Come back and enjoy it again soon! More

We stayed (3- 55+ adults) stayed for a week in February. resort a bit dated but clean, quiet, amazing views, good pool. Lagoon was great for snorkelling. Bus into PV right across the street, lots of cabs available. Would stay again.

“More Plus than Minus”

We stayed at the Costa Sur Resort while in PV for a family wedding. Since we love to explore the town and the restaurant, no All Inclusive was attractive, and this hotel was suggested by the Wedding hotel. We were very pleased overall. The rooms are older, but our room[s] were exceptionally clean. We tried several rooms, as we needed... More

“Don't eat the food”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

We just returned from Mexico. The trip was great, the costa sur was not. Hotel is old, rooms need new furniture, baths and new kit. The only thing they updated was the t.v. Bed was comfortable. View was great but small balcony. Now for the worst part. The fun in this hotel sucks! I still have the runs

To: Lynn Lynn, we were sorry to hear about the negative points in your experience with us, although you were fair about including some of the positive features of Costa Sur, such as the incredible views and new beds and TVs. But we won’t be satisfied until we have resolved the other issues you mention. We have a team working... More
