This was our 8th visit to Puerto Vallarta. Initially, we were a little hesitant staying so far away from downtown but that was not a problem. We normally take the bus everywhere in PV, however, at Costa Sur we would take the bus into town and a taxi back, usually with groceries and stuff, for about $5. We stayed for... more

The Costa Sur is an ok place for the price. But really, don't expect much for the money. You have to take a taxi to get anywhere into where action going on in town, and to any resturants. The view is beautiful being right on the beach. And the room had strong air conditioning? I guess thats good, espeically in... more

This is a warning to anyone thinking of buying timeshare while in Mexico. Please do not act on a whim and do lot's of research beforehand. See a lawyer before signing any contract. Do not sign anything before getting a lawyer. We were caught up in a timeshare scam with Playa Del Sol. more

Pros: A magnificent view of the Bay of Banderas and Sierra Madre mountains. Clean linens and towels Cons: The hotel is a two star resort by American standards. The room decor and amenities are dated from the 80's. The restaurant is outdoor and there is no indoor seating which means fighting bugs in order to enjoy your meal. Front Staff... more

Just back from a week in PV at the Playa del Sol Costa Sur. We traveled with our two-year-old daughter who is very travel-friendly. This place was great for traveling with a child. The private lagoon out front of the hotel was fantastic. She was able to play in the ocean without us having to worry about large waves breaking... more

We stayed at Playa del Sol Costa Sur for a week, which was booked through HSI. We were also under the impression that this was supposed to be a 5 star hotel. Boy were we misled! We originally booked a 2 bedroom, but the room was dirty. There was still trash in the room and the place stunk! When we... more

Just came back from a week stay at the Playa Del Sol Costa Sur. I'm not a picky traveler so this resort is above average for me. We stayed in the studio with an ocean view. It was nice to have a small kitchenette because we cooked a few nights to save from eating out all week. The decoration is... more

Costa Sur will never be a 5 star resort but it is well worth a visit and we will repeat. Young adults looking for the party life should choose something else. Young families with small children will be made to feel right at home by management, the available amenities, and all the Grand Parents that are there. We booked through... more

THE PLACE IS NICE AND QUIET unlike other resorts in PV that are REAL noisy!!!! It is a bus ride, very cheap or 5$ taxi ride to town well worth the extra money at any rate! If you go to this nice resort you will find the staff are very attentive and genuine nice people. Do not miss a taxi... more

We just returned from our first time in Puerto Vallarta. We stayed a week at Costa Sur. We loved our stay there and would enjoy returning. The pros: great bay view, equipped kitchens, easy to get into town on the bus, wonderful buffet breakfast available (the fresh fruit and homestyle granola and yoghurt has really great), a heated pool that... more
