Jetsetter "High-rise luxury mega-resort with four restaurants, an award-winning spa and breathtaking views over Banderas Bay." Full review

Star Service "Near the Melia and Westin, this hotel is cut to a standard international resort template geared directly to Americans, which seems to be the key to its success in the face of heavy competition." Full review

Tip: be sure to ask for a swig of the house tequila made from agave grown at the hotel, or better yet enroll in one of their tequila appreciation classes.

Concierge "You reach its aeries by... riding up with your luggage on a burro. But the solitude, the laid-back vibe, and the hand-crushed strawberries in your daiquiri make it worth all the effort."
Fodor's "Understated luxury and an open-to-nature building design describe this eight-suite boutique property located in a jungle about an hour south of Vallarta." Full review
Frommer's "Verana is a secluded retreat tucked in the hills overlooking sleepy Yelapa, a natural paradise with spectacular views of the tropical landscape and ocean before it." Full review
Gayot "This secluded boutique resort and spa overlooks the Bay of Banderas just south of Puerto Vallarta and can only be reached by boat."
Travel + Leisure "The eco-friendly accommodations are simple, but have everything you need to relax in comfort, and the welcoming staff is on-hand to arrange picnics, mezcal classes, and fishing adventures"
