Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stayed for one week and had a wonderful time. The staff is extremely caring, like a big family. Erik and Paola from the morning crew gave us great tips on hikes and activities we can do. Everyone is very helpful. We will be back soon. The location of the hotel is perfect: A short ride by public bus from Puerto Vallarta (10 pesos) and Mismaloya.

Hotel's Favourite
It’s the people of Costa Sur, from the day you arrive until the day you sadly have to leave that draw us back year after year. We are welcomed “home” every year by the staff, and it’s a delight to greet the familiar faces of so many who care for our needs and do their jobs so well. Osvaldo, Rafael, Gabriella, Renaldo, Juan, Moises, Jefte, Alejandro, Ernesto and Raul, you make us feel like family every time we come. The beach staff, security staff and front desk staff get our kudos as well every year. And of course there is the beauty of Banderas Bay welcoming me to a new day each morning, swimming in the bay along with fish of every color, picking up rocks and shells and watching the whales, rays and dolphins from the little beach or my private balcony. Eleventh visit this past January and looking forward to our twelfth!

My husband got sick after day 1 from eating on property. Getting a drink took too long & we were made to feel like an inconvenience. Pictures of rooms are way better than the actual quality of the property. Bathrooms need a major upgrade. Bed comfot wasn't too bad. Regardless of the poor quality, the views were priceless.

We had a pretty ood stay.... Thank goodness for the great staff here. For the most part our stay was pretty good. Our room as always had a fabulous view of the ocean. The only problem was the fridge in the room was either leaking or freezing everything. We finally got a new one after 3 days. The pool needs some cleaning as there is a ring forming around the top of it. Now for the good.... The staff is what makes our stay here so enjoyable. Some of them were outstanding for us Our maid Veronica was so special it was a joy to have her maintain our room 1008. Erik, Oscar, Neto are all perfect waiters Angel the bus boy does his job great. Paola is the best hostess And last but certainly not least our buddy Jose who is the recreation guru is fantastic. Sadly the reservation lady Veronica is leaving and she will be very much missed. Needless to say we will be back again next year.

Miguel was so attentive and wonderful. The food was so good and drinks topped it off. Great atmosphere and loved the sound of the ocean. The coconut shrimp was amazing. Miguel recommended the top shelf margaritas and they were delicious. We would definitely come again

Our experience at Costa Sur was wonderful! We had such a relaxing time. From the moment we got there and were greeted by the always friendly, smiling Juan Quintero, we felt at home (Juan even went out of his way to say "Welcome Home" when he first saw us). Juan and his co-worker Andy helped us get taxis whenever we needed them -- they took great care of us. The restaurant food was good, and the service was great, (special thanks to Moises De Leon and his staff). They have the best tortilla soup I've ever had (I ordered it 3 times over the week, and would gladly have had more). The Baja fish tacos were also excellent (I'm not a big fish fan, but since the sea food is super fresh, and they do a great job with the preparations - the fish tacos were delicious) - we ordered that twice. We've been coming for years, and we love to see the familiar, happy, helpful faces (like Juan and Moises) - it's comforting and comfortable. They make us feel at home.

I love Costa Sur and we come here every year for one week as an owner. The people that come back year after year and the staff is the reason for our return. I just don't want you to be surprised. On the "resort" website you will find pictures of renovated rooms. That is on some floors. There are two sets of buildings here. The original building has 14 floors with 12 rooms on each floor and a penthouse. each room has a view of the ocean. A very good reason to stay here. But not all room are Available. Many rooms have been being "remolded" for years.. We have been coming down for 16 years and before that my husband's mother came down for 25. With many owners; owning a Specific unit for a specific week or weeks, we have til 2029 when our contracts will all end. Till that time it appears that the owners Maintain the main pool area and do what they have to to the rooms. Staff here is amazing and all are here to make sure you have an amazing time. Again I don't want you to be surprised when you stay here. We are always meeting new people here. In the pool area, seating by the bar listening to music and many say they feel Deceived. Come for the staff. Come for the view and just know that this place doesn't really fit into the Definition of resort and spa.

We have been going to Costa Sur for over 20 years and the staff is so welcoming and makes us truly feel like family. From Juan greeting us at the desk by the entrance to the waiters, house cleaners, bar tenders and activity staff they all work very hard and are very welcoming. The building itself is getting old and tired but for many of us that return each year, these issues can be overlooked. The setting of the resort is beautiful and easy access into town by either bus or taxi.
