Solid option

We enjoyed our stay at Vidanta. We had a 2 bedroom Grand Luxxe Master villa room. The first room was very musty so we asked to change rooms. The second room wasn't bad- it was ground floor. Exchange reservations only get ground floor and 1st floor so don't plan on sunny side or upper floor with a view.”

Adult Disney World

Property is huge and very well maintained. TIME SHARE PRESENTATION PEOPLE come close to ruining the visit. They out and out lied and were downright rude. As many have said, you dont get the room / floor you want unless you agree to presentation. You also get a VIP card which entitles you to 10% off and a few other food benefits. Check in was awful. It took 3 hours and that was with us agreeing to presentation. You do have to allow for extra time going to restaurants , pools etc... bc the property is so big. They do have great pools and lots of walking trails. Restaurants are OK. Some were really good like Italian Tramonto and breakfast at Cafe De Lago. Custom Burger Bar was ridiculously expensive--$210 for 4 burgers, 4 fries and 3 cocktails. At resorts you have to expect to pay a little more--but this was even higher than I thought for Mexico. The room was very nice and had very nice amenities. We stayed in the 2 BR and found it to be great along with the concierge on each flour. If you can , request Tower 5 bc it is the only one in Grand Luxxe that has a rooftop pool and bar and it was awesome. Overall, it was a very nice hotel but not sure I will return--especially if I was paying for it. TIP--Download the app if you go--it is very helpful and make sure and make reservations DAYS ahead of time bc if you wait til the day you want to go--you will never get in a restaurant”

Great time at Vidanta

We had a great time at Vidanta in Nuevo Vallarta. The Villa was beautiful and the people who work for Vidanta were so nice and helpful. The dining, pools, entertainment, and golf were all great.”

Worst stay ever

The check in was horrendous. It took us over an hour and a half to check in. We were in a check in line with over 80 people deep. Although the rooms are big, the furniture was tired and beat up. The restaurants were twice as expensive as anything in downtown PV. This would have been fine if the restaurants were good. However, the food and service at the restaurants were terrible at best. One night we had ordered chicken nuggets from Quinto for our daughter. There was a long piece of hair in the nugget. The manager didn’t seem to care and even implied that it couldn’t have been from his staff. We also had to send my steak back twice because it kept coming well done on the outside while raw on the inside. The kids club hours seemed to open and close as they pleased. There was no rhyme or reason for their closings. One night our room was left completely unlocked and open by somebody on their staff. There was supposed to be an investigation on what happened but nobody ever got back to us. There is construction everywhere. Room service wqs painfully slow. It took over an hour and a half to get breakfast one morning. The resort is huge and requires for you to wait 20 minutes for a golf cart to take you anywhere. The trip was so bad, we literally tried to cancel our already booked reservations at Vidanta for this summer while we were on this trip. Unfortunately, that was not an option. I would definitely think twice before booking this place.”

Family fun at a beautiful big resort!

The resort is huge, but the walkways connecting the property are lush, beautiful and well marked (there are also shuttles running frequently). There are lots of pools and restaurants to choose from and overall the food is good. The beach is expansive, feels private, no rocks, and in parts has a large sandbar. The spa is wonderful, highly recommend. The units are large and well appointed. Very easy and quick to get to from PV airport. Lots of activities to do, and quiet spots to lounge. A few critiques- you need to make dinner reservations in advance or you'll be eating after 9pm. If you want to be at the main beach pool, get there before 10am to claim lounge chairs. Do not do the breakfast presentation unless you are 100% interested in purchasing timeshares- as a Thirdhome member you do not have to do these presentations and they take 3 + hours NOT the 60 mins they advertise. ”

Room Theft and Timeshare sales saga

this was our third time staying here. The resort is nice and has alot to offer there were two negatives this trip. One was attending the time share presentation. We explained to the original offering agent as third home members we were not interested in attending as we have several homes and prefer to own 100% of a unit versus timeshare / fractional we were aasured it was just an update on how they coordinate with third home etc and new potential offerings. I knew it would be more and I am in sales myself so was somewhat prepared. But it sucked up over half of a full day of vacation and they just wouldnt take no and let us get on with our day. NEVER AGAIN Also my sister had 75.00 stolen from her purse in our adjoining room. Security investigated and we should have used the room safe, but honestly did not expect that to be a issue at Vidanta. Guess I was wrong and will be more careful in the future .”

Overall good experience

The Grand Luxxe is an excellent set of properties within the Vidanta complex. We had a nice 2 bedroom unit than accommodated 5 comfortably. No dishwasher in our unit but this will change with newer upgrades Easy walk to many pools and restaurants. Good activities but you have to plan. Tennis and pickleball courts are isolated. Good golf options. Food is excellent but a little pricey. They entice you in pool area with “Happy Hours” where some drinks are 2 for 1. Sad to see vacationers get drunk. If you are new, they offer you “perks” to attend a sales presentation that can hold you hostage for hours. Avoid it unless you are interested in a purchase. Talk to others who are owners before you fall into the sales pitch. I will say that we met many people who have been owners and regulars for 15-20 years. We purchased a small future package and plan to go back.”

Beautiful resort

A terrific property. Exceptional room, many excellent restaurant and pool choices. Not crowded. Great service. ”

Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta

Marvelous facility with excellent staff and amenities. Highly recommended. ”

Great Stay

Great stay, the Grand Luxxe is always a nice stay - prefer this location over the one in riviera maya.”

Mega resort with Vidanta App

We stayed in tower 5 with a golf course view on the 2nd level. Our room was tidy, well maintained, and clean. The daily cleaning and turndown service was a nice add on for a timeshare (i mean private residence club). There is no dishwasher or oven in the unit. Laundry was available on each floor but you needed a keycard to access. So positives - nice staff, very nice setup, great rooms, lots of options for pools and activities. Spa and golf options were nice Not our favorites - so big that you need to wait on a golf cart to take you places, there is an app to make dining reservations but you need to reserve in advance (even for family of 4), food inside the resort was comparable to US prices ($50-70 for lunch) - wish there was an all inclusive option, unless you are a "member" you can not access the gondola or some blocked off chairs/beach areas, lastly booking everything through the tower concierge or travel agent became a problem with waiting in lines. ”

LOVELY RESORT….BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED AND WELL MAINTAINED!

Positives: •Airport transportation to resort was very smooth (included in $42 per unit daily resort fee) (On departure our Suburban from resort to airport-$32) •We stayed in a ground level condo our first week (pretty typical for ThirdHome exchanges) 2 Bdm Grand Luxxe Master suite. (Tower 4 ) Week 2 we stayed in a 2 Bdm Royal Suite condo in Tower 6. Both were Very clean, comfortable, spacious and well maintained. •Daily house keeping was nice ( dishwashing $37 extra for the week) •We vacationed from early-mid November (after the rainy season) The weather was delightful… It was surprisingly green, lush and beautiful… The lush flora combined with the views of the Sierra Madre Mountains made us feel like we were in Hawaii. •2 for 1 Happy Hour at Pool Bars from 11:00-1:00 and from 5:00-6:00 •Lots of complementary activities and entertainment •The hard working staff was very kind and pleasant. Negatives: •The scale of this resort is a bit overwhelming… It’s by far the largest resort we’ve ever stayed at.”

Grand Luxxe - Vidanta

FANTASTIC!”

Not all reviews. tell the story!

Prior to this trip, I read some of the review from other members and was a little nervous on what my expectations were for this resort! First off - this place is massive! Very clean! Very friendly! From arriving in PV - shuttle was right there and quick! check in a little slow but not bad. I thought I would have to encourage the checkin host to make sure we got a nice room. decide to let it go and be happy with whatever we got. We were expecting a 2 bedroom - and wow! we were blessed with a 3 bedroom spa suite! Yes 3 amazing rooms and a massage room for in-suite rub downs! The view - 10 stars! watched the sunrise over the mountain top every morning! The grounds are very thick with green jungle vegetation and the shuttle service is excellent! We did op to do the sales presentation had a wonderful young man as our presenter and a 10 star free breakfast. He knew little about 3rd home and once he figured it out our sales presentation quickly came to an end. of course he had to let his boss try but he knew also -No Sale! We just booked another week next October and can't wait to return. Highly recommend the Zip Line tour - via the boat ride! - We had so much fun!!! Restaurants are 8 out of 10 - Pool bar - 8 out of 10. Pools all 12 or 20 of them - excellent - Especially the floating river! Overall resort - 5 Stars! I love Cabo - but this might be the new go to location!!!!!”

Bad View….

Not overly thrilled with this resort. Our accommodations were nice - very spacious - the view was terrible from our room however. We looked out over an unfilled pond and at what looked to be a dumping ground and a construction site. We were told they would move us if we attended their “breakfast”. No thanks - very disappointed in that. The resort as a whole is HUGE! It’s like being at DisneyWorld. We did enjoy the Pickleball courts and the spa. Probably will not return to this resort. ”

Strong smell, sales presentation over too long

Don't agree to go to a sales presentation unless you have 3-4 hours and like being pressured. Once we finally convinced them we were not interested in buying, they took us thru 4 more people before we received the agreed upon gifts for attending. We stayed at Grand Luxxe Tower 4 and the air freshener they use is way over powering. Almost smells toxic. Pro shop the same. Bars at pool do not open till 11am and close at 7pm. Property way too expansive in my opinion. Always waiting for shuttles.”

Very Nice Stay

Overall stay was fantastic. The staff is very attentive and the property is very well kept. No complaints!”

Great time at Grand Luxxe in Nuevo Vallarta!

We had a wonderful time at Grand Luxxe NV. The unit was very nice, the property has many great pools and pool bars. Service and food was great and reasonable. We would come back again!”

Fantastic get away!! highly recommend

absolutely fantastic. The resort was gorgeous, the room was exquisite, the pools beautiful. We found the staff wonderful and helpful. We enjoyed our stay so much, we stayed an additional week. The Plaza contains a grocery store with all the essentials which came in helpful. The picture of the rooms in ThirdHome shows the view with an ocean. That is often not the case as you could be on the other side of the building. I would stay away from the sales pitch (when you check in) if you can. That is a 2.5 hour nightmare (which you are told is 60 mins). other than that, this is a magical place and we look forward to returning many many times.”

Great Stay!

Had a great week at the Grand Luxxe! Delicious food at all restaurants and pool bars. The pools and scenery were amazing. Rooftop pool at tower 5 was are favorite! Loved the JOY squad especially Marysol and Magdelane. Cleaning sunglasses and handing out popsicles with a smile every single day! Juan was a great waiter at the burger restaurant. We will be back soon! ”

The best Ever!

The resort was truly amazing!! We will definitely be back. We enjoyed the awesome restaurants, golf course, swimming pool and lazy river. Perfect place for a honeymoon!! ”
