Costa Sur Resort & Spa

Just got back after a one week stay at the Costa Sur. Great experience! Nice rooms with GREAT balcony right on the waterfront. The only disappointment was the food. Didn't think it was very good for what they charge. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Will be there again next year!

Just came back from Costa Sur!! We got there on Christmas Day and left New Years Day. I have to say this place is going to be at the top of our list for a long time. We met so many people who have gone to Costa Sur every year for many years, and for very good reason--this place is the bomb (that's good). First off, the staff is very friendly and we got to know them well. The concierge introduced herself on the first day, and gave some really good recommendations for dinner and excursions, and never hounded us to go to a presentation. The location is the real draw here. The pictures do not do this place any justice. That lagoon in front is the best feature; it's protected from the surf for awesome snorkeling where we saw puffer fish, trumpet fish, and myriad others. Every room is on the water for lovely ocean views and beautiful sounds of the surf all night. The pool is clean and quiet whereas other resorts were over-run with loud music and people. The rooms were very clean though not first class. The restaurant food was reasonably priced and made it economical to eat at the resort rather than go out. The location is close to the old town of puerto vallarta though we would not recommend walking as the buses are frequent and 6 pesos.
