My nephew and his fiancée had their wedding at the Hotel Playa Fiesta, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We were there January 27 to February 2, 2025. This was an outstanding venue in which to share with family and friends the wedding of this special couple! There were about forty-five people in our group, including some children. The hotel is south of the airport and central part of Puerto Vallarta. By taxi, with a fair amount of traffic, it took me just under an hour to get to the hotel. Uber transportation is also available. The setting for Playa Fiesta is quiet and intimate, out of the hustle-and-bustle of the large town. The relatively small, four-story hotel faces the ocean. There is only one large structure next to the Playa Fiesta. There are no concessions in the hotel, and just a few unobtrusive beach vendors have some of their wares for sale. The waves that come in at the beautiful beach are substantial. One can swim, surf, snorkel, and paddle board. Prudent care should be taken on the beach, especially with young children. Our wedding group found that staying, playing, and enjoying the resort was what we wanted to do rather than spending time on excursions. The Playa Fiesta had its own unique appeal, a place where we could relax and be together. Breakfast and dinner were the meals of the day. If one wanted a lunch meal, a menu was available for an extra charge. The food was excellent! Dinners were outstanding with savory choices for all palates. The wedding dinner was a gourmet treat! For breakfast, there was an additional cooking area set up for special requests of eggs, omelets, and pancakes. Fresh fruit, juices, cereals, and yoghurts were available to go with the entrees. The bar was open from eight to eleven. I met one of the owners of the hotel Playa Fiesta who was there on several occasions to make sure things were going well for us. She and her husband have owned the hotel for over twenty years and many of the staff members have been with the hotel for the same number of years. I wrote her the following message about my stay at the hotel: "I am the uncle of the groom, and I was at Hotel Playa Fiesta for his wedding. I am affectionately known as Uncle Jim. What a great experience we all had in celebrating this special event at your beautiful venue! Your staff was exceptional in their professionalism, attention to detail, helpfulness, and kindness. The respectful and joyful interaction your staff shared with us was most appreciated. The food was outstanding! The organization, timing, and set-up for eating, for wedding and special events was impeccable. I personally want to thank you for the quality service and place you provided for all of us at my nephew’s wedding." The outstanding management, staff, and place make the Hotel Playa Fiesta a five-star choice to share in the joy of a wedding or other special occasions.
