Top Colonia 5 de Diciembre Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Palace Pacifico - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"-check in was quick and easy -staff are always cleaning or attending to guest -food was delicious, always cooked and the right temperature -staff very friendly and quick to help -drinks where good -didn’t have any issues"

Playa Los Arcos Hotel Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Staff at reception were helpful and respectful. Angeles, a front desk clerk was extremely accommodating to our vacation needs. She was able to move us to a different room when the first one was not to standards. The second room was clean and had a partial view to the beach! The hotel had an amazing view to the beach!!! The proximity to walking distance restaurants was amazing and worth while. The restaurant “Mar y Vino” had amazing staff, beach view and sunset, food was delicious and well presented. Highlight of a trip! For breakfast, Kaiser Maximilian Espresso Bar, we loved a restaurant on the premises, Pueblo bonito restaurant with live music. Coffee break after a walk on the beach around the corner, next to Cafe de Olla. The emersion of the culture around this hotel is a reality. We were there for 16 de sept. “El grito“, Mexican Independence Day parade by local students and Naval with their huskies. If you are there for the culture this will be the center of it all."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Riviera Nayarit, An All-Inclusive Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Angel, Musio, Miriam, Jose, Carlos, Linda and ALL STAFF were attentive, warm, and gave excellent service and laughter. Our room was clean and functional. Karaoke was so fun, and the resort was well maintained and clean. Some noise from landscapers in the morning near our tower that could have started a little later, but the overall stay was still 10/10. Thank you all for an amazing time."
