Overview

Accommodations come with a 24-hour butler

Some guests were disappointed in the lack of evening entertainment

Vacationers head to Puerto Vallarta's Sunset Plaza Beach Resort & Spa for customized pampering – and what could be more personalized than having access to your own butler? Guests here rave about their butlers, who cater to every whim (from claiming beach chairs to arranging airport transportation to shining your shoes before dinner). Another main selling point, according to previous guests: The gourmet cuisine at Sunset Plaza's eateries, especially the Italian fare at Lucciano. And even without the optional all-inclusive package, previous visitors say that the prices here are reasonable. After dinner, head back to your spacious guest room or suite – all accommodations feature 32-inch LCD televisions, iPod docking stations and private terraces facing the ocean. For even more personalization, you can choose your preferred scent from an aroma menu. And while there is a lack of poolside and nighttime entertainment, many guests insist that the quiet atmosphere was exactly what they were looking for.
