Mayan Palace Puerto Vallarta

We stayed at the Mayan in marina Vallarta. the property is great. Be prepared to go to Walmart & buy one of those egg-carton foam pads for the bed, because they are hard as slate. AND don't participate in their Timeshare presentation, at the Grand Mayan in Nueva Vallarta. We were told that it was going to be approximately 90 minutes, we were offered 500 pesos credit per person to our bill if we attended, there was 5 of us. The man who was our salesperson, Gill, was very pushy, said very inappropriate jokes to my In-laws, and kept telling us that all the time share's included golf, even though we told him we don't play golf. he was pleasant enough to start, but when it was apparent that we weren't go to buy into the timeshare, he got more and more upset, even insulting. He told us by law that he could keep us there for 7 hours. We were there for almost 6. They did NOT want to let us go.

I stayed at the mayan palace marina vallarta and just LOVED it!! You will no longer be put across the street as others have written in the reviews. Those days are now long ago. There is also no 1 in 5 rule, as another person wrote??? The sea garden and water park are no more, demolished for room for a new grand mayan. This place has location, location, location. Stroll to the marina, across the road and enjoy many resturants and shops. A bus stop at the street also, for downtown adventure. Fishing, of course! This is my fav mayan palace location.

Wonderful time at the Mayan Palace Puerto Vallarta. We had a group of 18 family members. We stayed the end of July into first week of August 2006. The restaurants are great, room service, pool service, maid service, laundry service what can I say we used it all and loved it. There are vendors on the beach that were helpful to us the entire week. They have jet skis, parasailing, banana boats and diving that takes you out close to Mismaloya Beach for a few hours to swim with the fish. Pool activities were enjoyed by young and old. The bed was a little hard but the soft pillows made up for it. Food prices are normal for vacation spots at hotels. The Marina is walking distance for lots of restaurants and shopping. Check out the Swim with the Dolphins with Vallarta Adventures we all enjoyed that.

Time Sharks are always around just say NO and they leave you alone.

We will go back summer 2007 we had a wonderful time.

Great resort!!! The only thing keeping it from 5- stars is the beds. The bed we had was horrible but the rest of the resort more than made up for it. Great on-site restaurants. Just go and enjoy. Unless you own there they enforce a one in five rule which means you can only go one time in every five years.

THIS WAS OUR FIRST VISIT IN MEXICO. WE STAYED AT THE MAYAN PALACE AS AN RCI EXCHANGE AND FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. SO WE BOUGHT A UNIT FROM THEM TO VISIT EVERY YEAR. PEOPLE ARE VERY COURTEOUS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
