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

We stayed at the Playa del Sol Costa Sur from March 22 to March 29, 2007. We exchanged to stay there through Interval International. Most Interval International resorts are 4 to 5 star accommodations. However, the Playa del Sol is definitely a 3 star resort. It's dated and in need of a renovation. We stayed in the studio suite, which... more

For the price, Playa Del Sol Costa Sur is definitely above average. Great deals at Spa, friendly bar and restaurant staff, free internet, beautiful ocean views from rooms, comfortable chairs at pool with a small but nice beach for tanning or swimming in the ocean. Fully equipped mini kitchens also great advantage for people on a budget. Taxi ride into... more

This trip was our second time to PV-- we stayed at the Holiday Inn last July of 2006. We enjoyed the Costa Sur way more than the Holiday Inn. Firstly, the view is just incredible! As a previous reviewer noted, you are ON the ocean and the balcony view is just priceless (every room has a balcony ocean view). Each... more

Costa Sur was an enjoyable hotel to stay at, it is mainly timeshare owners that are there, and yes they are a bit of an older crowd, or relatives of timeshare holders. Be sure to remember to tell your taxi driver that you are going to Costa Vida(the previous name of the hotel) As we found no one knows it... more

I was satisifed with my trip to PV and my stay at Costa Sur. The hotel is comfortable for lack of a better word. The rooms have little kitchens great for keeping beverages cold and ice for the beach. The hotel has a little mini mart for incidentals...bottled water, liquor, snacks. If you make a trip into town for .50... more

First of all I have to say I love PV and we had a fantastic vacation. Sun, beach, pool, Mexico...what's not to love. Having said that I was very disappointed in Costa Sur. I know some of you will say "It's Mexico, get over it". I don't buy that for a minute. There are a lot of good Mexican resorts,... more

This resort was a little farther from downtown than I expected. I soon discovered that it would not be much of an issue. It is a $5-8 cab ride to oldtown PV or the Malecon (bars) and the bus is super conveinent as it stops right in front of the hotel and it is $0.50 and it runs every 15... more

I have a time share here and have been going for 7 years. If you want a relaxing place this is it. The staff are awesome, the pool and bar/restaurant are awesome but only if you like to sit at the bar in front of the ocean. As they do have a restaurante we like to sit right on the... more

I was really apprehensive about the Costa Sur after reading past reviews that were posted on TripAdvisor. I was prepared for the worst, but we were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived! As soon as we arrived, our bags were taken and we were offered drinks. As we checked in though, we had to sit and listen to the concierge... more
