Hotel Playa Fiesta – A Wedding Groups Only Hotel

I went to Playa Fiesta as a guest for my friends' wedding in 2024, and my now husband and I had such an amazing time that when we got engaged, we decided we wanted to go back, even if that meant waiting 20 months for our wedding to happen. WORTH IT!!

I cannot think of a single bad thing to say about this venue. The location is incredible, right on the water and somewhat secluded, but with easy and close access to town. The rooms are unbelievably clean. and most are spacious and have an ocean view.

The experience of renting out a small boutique hotel for only your guests is truly a special experience, and the perfect way for all your guests to get to know one another.

Although the venue and location itself is amazing, what really makes the experience at Playa Fiesta unforgettable is the staff. First of all, the planning process with Lindsay and Gabi couldn't have been easier. They have their system down to a tee and work like a well oiled machine. I don't think there was a single email that I sent without a response within the hour. In addition, the on site servers and bartenders are one of a kind, keeping drinks full, guests happy, and remembering everyone's names.

I was the third of my friends to get married here and I hope I am not the last! I can't wait to have another opportunity to visit and celebrate at Playa Fiesta!!!

My husband and I got married at Hotel Playa Fiesta on May 1st, and it was truly better than anything we could have ever imagined. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we had stepped into our own private paradise. Spending five unforgettable days surrounded by our closest family and friends was an absolute dream.
Every single detail was perfect. The staff treated us like royalty, the location is breathtaking, the food was incredible, and the atmosphere was pure magic. It’s hard to put into words just how special this place is.
A huge thank you to Lindsay and her amazing team. She has thought of absolutely everything when it comes to planning a wedding. From start to finish, they handled every detail seamlessly, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our loved ones. We never had to worry about a thing—everything was taken care of with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care.
If you’re considering a destination wedding, stop searching and book Hotel Playa Fiesta. It was the best decision we made, and we would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

Playa fiesta is not your ordinary wedding venue. It's an experience, not just for the bride and groom but for everyone in attendance. Putting together a destination wedding is quite the obstacle. The staff here makes the entire experience stress free and ENJOYABLE! I cannot recommend them enough. We had so much fun as guests at our friends wedding that my now wife and I decided to bring it back. If you are looking for a stunning venue that accommodates all of your requests, look no further. Thank you to the staff for such a wonderful experience. We had our wedding here a month ago and we are still on cloud nine!

My husband and I got married at Playa Fiesta in March 2026. Everything about the experience was absolutely amazing, from start to finish. I can’t recommend this wedding venue enough!

Team
First off, the AMAZING team! I’ll start with Lindsey and Adam, the owners of the resort: they are a DREAM to work with. We are so grateful for how magical they helped our wedding be. And once we were at Playa Fiesta, we simultaneously felt this great combination of being ‘part of the gang’ but also absolutely special/pampered. Everyone who works there is at the top of their game and SO kind. They really make you feel so supported throughout the whole process. I was blown away by their hospitality.

Location
We had guests who wanted a bit of everything. Some wanted to get out and explore Puerto Vallarta, and PF is perfect for that with Zona Romantica being super easy to get to (about a 10 min drive). Others wanted to stay on the property and relax, which was also great especially with the property being right on a beautiful beach!

The Space
Playa Fiesta’s vibes are impeccable. Having the whole resort for just your wedding group is a gamechanger. It made everyone want to instantly get to know other guests because there was no guessing that everyone there was there for our wedding. The shared spaces are beautifully designed with plenty of little alcoves and comfy couches for private moments, while still being part of a larger beautiful space. Every room is gorgeous, feeling modern but also perfect for Mexico. It felt like they also took maintenance very seriously, because the property was meticulously maintained. The restaurant was delicious!! Honestly one of my favorite parts was breakfast every morning, sooo good!

Choose your own adventure
The Playa Fiesta team supports in planning everything from start to finish. Their method is very ‘choose your own adventure’ where they offer different vendors to work with and “add on” experiences for your guests. They also are really supportive of bringing in your own unique elements/surprises and helped bring them to life. In terms of their vendors, they do have a policy of only working with vendors they recommend, which at first I wasn’t the biggest fan of. But after experiencing everything that goes into planning the week, I now understand how important it is to Playa Fiesta to make sure your experience at your wedding is top notch, and they guarantee that through their wonderful vendors. Our florals were stunning. The classical duo was amazing. Our photographer was wonderful. Our videographer killed it. Everyone was the best!

The best guest experience
The whole experience felt like a luxury vacation for all our guests, while allowing them a ton of time to get to know each other in advance of the big day and also time afterwards. We are so happy with all the connections that were made because they were given the time for their friendships to really grow. It’s one of our favorite things after our wedding: seeing all the friendships and connections that resulted from it.

Considering the cost
I know a big component of choosing a wedding venue is the cost. A good thing about PF is the ‘choose your own adventure’ style because it helps you to pick what works for your budget. That said, I must admit, Playa Fiesta was a splurge for us from a budget perspective. We ended up spending more than we thought we would on our wedding BUT the best part is: I have zero buyer’s remorse. The week was the best experience of my life so far and every penny was well worth it.

We booked this venue sight unseen risky yes but something about the idea to put all of our family and friends in one place for a destination wedding felt right!

I am so happy I went with my gut because Hotel Playa Fiesta was beyond my wildest dreams! The venue itself is magical you are just steps from the ocean and each room is spacious and clean with breathtaking views of Puerto Vallarta.

A very special thank you goes to Lindsay and Gabi, the dynamic duo who really brought my wedding vision to life. They are amazing at what they do so responsive to any and all questions nothing is too big or small for them to tackle. On wedding day they were a well oiled machine everything felt so effortless and as a Bride I was able to enjoy myself and embrace the day!

The food is incredible our guests still message me about the Chilaquiles in the morning and the 4 course dinner we served at the wedding! The wedding cake I still dream about to this day.

The staff is what makes this place amazing they take the time to know each guests name and drink order they make sure to keep the energy and vibes up the whole time.

To any Brides that are uncertain is this place to good to be true I get it but go with your gut take this as a sign you won’t regret it!

From the moment we committed to Playa Fiesta, the service was truly top tier. Every question we had was answered quickly, the team was incredibly accommodating, and they helped bring my wife’s dream wedding to life in every possible way.

Booking a destination wedding venue without seeing it in person can definitely feel stressful, but once we visited a year before the wedding, we immediately knew we made the right decision. The views from every part of the property are absolutely breathtaking and the atmosphere feels intimate, peaceful, and unforgettable.

Our wedding day was executed flawlessly. The Playa Fiesta team are true experts at what they do. They have a calming presence, kept the wedding party prepared, made every guest feel taken care of, and ensured the entire event flowed so smoothly that none of us wanted the night to end.

A huge thank you to Lindsay and Gabby for creating an event and experience we will remember for the rest of our lives. We could not recommend Playa Fiesta more highly.

I was a bride at Hotel Playa Fiesta, and I can 100% say picking it as our venue was one of the best decisions!! If you're even considering having you're wedding here or going as a guest, you absolutely should

The venue itself is gorgeous! so intimate, peaceful, and right on the beach. everyone loved the size because there was no coordinating which restaurant to go to, or when to meet up by the pool - they could just step out of their room and have it all be our group. It was especially perfect for those with kids because they didn't have to miss out on anything. The staff went above and beyond for the kids too, even making them slushies by the pool! 🥹 I was really nervous because my family doesn’t travel much, but I truly could not have asked for a better place!!!

The food: Incredible! Every single guest raved about it and I still get comments that the wedding cake was the best cake people have ever had. For guests with allergies, the team proactively met with each person on day one to ensure they were fully accommodated, which meant so much to us

The planning: Soso easy, tailored, and 10000x better than you'll get with any other location. The staff was super responsive and everything was handled through the hotel and for outside vendors, they had a list you could choose from so you didn't have to find your own photographer, etc. The selection was super good so we never felt the need to look elsewhere. Special shout out to Evengia our photographer and JJ our florist because their work was STUNNING

The wedding weekend itself: Truly unforgettable. Like a literal movie. Everything went perfectly and so many guests told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. the DJ kept everyone on the dance floor all night which was what we cared about the most 😊

A special shoutout to the staff and the owner, Lindsay, who were so kind, caring, and constantly checking in to make sure everything was perfect and that we had everything we needed throughout the weekend!! Their care and attention was so special and we'll never forget it 💖 💖 💖

TL;DR - you’re thinking about booking Hotel Playa Fiesta, do it. And definitely add the fireworks package keep it a surprise for your guests - soso much fun seeing their reactions ✨✨✨

My husband and I got married at Playa Fiesta in March 2026, and it was honestly a dream from start to finish. To this day, friends still tell us that experience set the bar way too high for any future weddings—they’re not wrong. It wasn’t just a single day, it was multiple days of being together in an incredible place, and it all felt really special.

As a queer couple, feeling comfortable and celebrated was huge for us—and we felt completely at home the entire time. We worked with the owners, Adam and Lindsay, for about two years leading up to the wedding. They’ve built such a thoughtful, well-run process with structured workbooks that guide you through planning without it ever feeling overwhelming. My husband is definitely the planner between us, and between his vision and the well-oiled machine they’ve created at PF, everything came together seamlessly.

The location is kind of perfect. It’s essentially on a private beach, about 10 minutes (an easy, uninterrupted 3-mile drive) south of Zona Romántica. It gave people the flexibility to either pop into town or fully unplug and stay at the property. The rooms are stunning—clearly a labor of love from Adam and Lindsay over many years. You wake up to the sound of waves, and that’s basically the only noise you hear. Housekeeping was incredible—everything was always spotless—and they were unbelievably accommodating when it came to all the little details and ideas we had.

One of the best parts is that PF has a curated list of vendors they trust, so you’re not starting from scratch. We had great options for photography, flowers, and videography—and even hired a drag queen for a brunch one day, which was a highlight. We also did massages for guests, brought in fire dancers for one event, had a mariachi band for another, and a beautiful string ensemble for the ceremony. It all just worked, and none of it felt stressful to pull together.

Yes, it takes some planning—but it’s absolutely worth it. The value for what you get is honestly great, especially considering the level of service. A lot of the staff have been there for years, and it shows—they’re on top of everything and make you feel genuinely taken care of the entire time.

And maybe the most special part: having all of your people together in one place for multiple days. We had about 75 guests staying on-site and another ~20 nearby, and it gave everyone real time to connect. People who had never met before left feeling like close friends. That’s something you just don’t get with a typical one-day wedding.

All in—I’d highly recommend getting married here. If we can make it happen, we’d love to go back for an anniversary trip. Either way, it was easily one of the best experiences of our lives.

We got married here with 65 guests and it was the best experience from start to finish. The Playa Fiesta team knows how to execute at the highest level from day 1 of wedding planning to the last guest checking out. The hotel is so amazing, it feels like you own the place while you are there. Nothing else compares- trust me we looked at like 15 houses and decided this was the way to go. The wedding planning is down to a science and they know the things that a bride will want and need before you even realize you do. The hotel staff, from check-in, waiters, cleaning crew and maintenance are all so friendly and take care of you at a level of Four Seasons Resorts. The food is so good you won't want to leave to eat anywhere else. I could go on and on but I think what says the most is that ALL of our friends and family are asking when can we all go back!

My wife and I had the most incredible time at Hotel Playa Fiesta, I still find myself reminiscing about the weekend. Afterwards we both agreed that we would absolutely do it all over again, and we will definitely try to convince other couples getting married to do their wedding at Playa Fiesta so we can get a chance to go there again. Lindsay and Gabi were such a huge help with the wedding planning, they kept us organized and guided us through everything, pointing out some things that we didn’t think of, and were proactive and patient all the way.

It’s a beautiful venue that’s perfectly set up for a large celebration – all our guests raved about the place and how it was right on the beach, and loved spending time at the pool too. We heard from locals that the stretch of beach right outside PF is the nicest in Puerto Vallarta, and we agree wholeheartedly. The rooms are well laid out, very comfortable, and provided a nice respite from the festivities of the weekend.

The team was incredible – I can’t say enough about how much we felt taken care of all weekend. Huge shout out to Lindsay, Gabi, Tammy, Lily for helping us with the logistics of the wedding and the entire weekend. I asked for a TV to be set up during our last dinner for our guests to watch a NFL playoff game and they came through in a big way. Service staff all over the hotel was super attentive and helpful, even offering recommendations for excursions and restaurants etc. around Puerto Vallarta. The food all weekend was delicious, and they did a great job accommodating our guests’ dietary restrictions.

All that to say, we are so happy we went with Hotel Playa Fiesta for our wedding and are keeping our fingers crossed we get to go back there at some point in the future!
