    Sunscape Puerto Vallarta

    Yes the Sunscape could use some updating , but what I spent for a week there was well worth it! The buffet is a buffet! You’ll find good, and not so good. The Italian restaurant was really good and so was the Mexican. The beach and pool are both nice! Drinks were abundant and staff was pleasant!

    Good, yet some disappointment.

    The resort is nice and the staff are mostly friendly. We were there for a wedding which was lovely. However, we were surprised to be charged for staying an additional 2 1/2 hours while waiting for our pickup to the airport at the end of our stay. We had paid for a package however, apparently that didn't include staying until your ride appeared. We didn't think sitting in the pickup area of the lobby with 3 young children was something anyone would have enjoyed.

    Nice location including a nice beach, but the facilities are a bit run down. Food & ambiance are okay but no frills.

    The location is nice as it is centrally located, but the facilities are aging and overall it was noisy. The food was ample but not inspiring. The beach and pool were nice. Lots of nice places to walk, but you have to find them yourselves. Rules such as noise disturbance, underage children in specialty restaurants, reserving chairs with towels, etc. was not enforced.

    Don't waste your money

    This resort is old and run down. Tiles missing all over the pool, dirty stairwells, chunks of plaster falling, dim bathroom lighting. The food and beverage is terrible. Sells it self as a kid friendly resort, but it definitely is not. Food selection for kids was non existent. Dried out hot dogs and chicken nugget, very rarely could you get plain pasta or cheese pizza. Ice cream is not available unless you special order it, and at the discretion of the "captain". Kids pool area is deteriorate and unappealing. The Mexican "restaurant" is just another buffet. Only other options for a sit down restaurant is Italian, but does not allow kids under 8, and the Seaside Grill (which has the buffet option for kids). Where is the waffle station, ice cream bar ? All good kid options that are missing. Most kids want safe food options that they are used to. Luckily there was an omelet station every day for freshly cooked eggs, bacon had to be requested, sausages were always over done and dry. What Mexican resort doesn't have guacamole? They had an "avocado salad" that was definitely not fresh avocado. Best meal was definitely in the Italian restaurant, but no special wine, its the same wine throughout the resort. The "food truck"...same limited options and same problem, hamburgers overdone and dry, scary cheese that does not melt on the burgers.
