What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta is praised for its luxurious amenities, beautiful beaches, and expansive resort grounds, offering a visually stunning and relaxing experience. However, some guests find the dining options overpriced and the theme park, Vidanta World, still under development. The resort's size can also lead to significant travel times between areas.
"As a member of 8 years, I was been sold on luxury and the promise of a theme park. I've yet to visit this incomplete theme park. It's still in construction.
This resort is nice, and there is plenty of room to find a poolside spot or beach seat.
The food is sub-par and way overpriced.
It takes forever to get anywhere on this resort, and a taxi is 20 to 30 one way to town.
The entertainment is sub-par as well. They host various nights at an area called Sanctuary that are quite boring. The sound system is outdated which also takes from the show. There were singers and dancers and it was cheesy and this one guy couldn't hit a note to save his life. Heard better kaeroke than this.
We made reservations at their hibachi style dinner and it was way over priced, the food was so basic, and the cook does the same old jokes you get from a 3 star hibachi anywhere.
The thing liked the most was room service. They came by and cleaned daily. Resort staff was nice.
It's an older resort so there are many areas that need work. It rained alot and there was sheet rock falling off in some areas.
Whatever you do dont do the member tour. It will eat up your whole day. The discounts they offer are not worth it.
The wave pool and slide were closed half the time we were there. Also the lazy river was closed half the time as well."

"Beautiful paradise. Nature walks on floating paths and amazing pools. Wonderful restaurants. It’s not an “all you can eat” resort but that’s why I go there. Every restaurant has its charm with fine dining. It is not for the middle class, but it IS for upper middle class and above. Super safe. Every single worker and guest goes through an airport security style check prior to fully entering the resort. They give you complimentary airport transportation so no worries there. It’s not a timeshare, but it is a vacation club. I have gladly invested three times; each time upgrading my rooms. I want to spend 4-6 weeks there during the deep freeze of my winter in the U.S. I love that I don’t have to take care of a house in FL for example. Because this is on the Riviera Maya and not in Cancun, you’re only 25 to 40 minutes from the wonderful ecological parks of the Riviera. You have to check this place out. As a cherry on top, Cirque de Soleil is on the property."

"Lots of space to spread out. Food and drink deliveries at the loungers. Occasional souvenir seller, but they are not pushy. Just be prepared for lots of sand before the beach."
