Hotel Playa Fiesta Reviews

I attended my sister's wedding at Playa Fiesta in March 2024. To say that it was the absolute best venue is an understatement. From the minute we arrived at the venue, they treated us like family. The food was absolutely amazing, and the staff were so attentive to our every need the entire time we were there. Our joke was that you couldn't finish a drink before someone put a fresh drink in your hand! There were so many fun perks we were able to add on, like pool volleyball the day after the wedding, and massages. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and every guest room is perfect. This was the absolute best week (it felt like summer camp with all our best friends)!! I recommend this venue to anyone.

Got married here a couple months ago. Amazing wedding venue! Couldn’t have asked for a better week. The food was delicious, location was stunning, and the staff went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect for us. Our wedding day was organized and stress free allowing us to enjoy every moment. An unforgettable experience. If you’re looking to get married in Mexico, Hotel Playa Fiesta is a no brainer. 

About a month ago we checked out of Hotel Playa Fiesta and have reminisced about it EVERY DAY since then. When we first saw the hotel, the amazing reviews, and started interactions, with Lindsay, we thought it was too good to be true. We talked to someone who actually had their wedding there too, my brother-in-law's co-worker, who confirmed the pure bliss of Hotel Playa Fiesta.

I'm here to say, after returning from our trip last month, ITS REAL and it was THE BEST DECISION OF OUR LIVES. Here's why:

-The entire place to yourselves: You have the entire location to yourselves, no random strangers, just your best friends and family. It creates a cozy and intimate space to reconnect, recharge and play!

-The location: Located south of the city, the location is perfect to get out a bit and....the Ocean is right at your finger tips. It's an ocean front property with two pools and a hot tub. The views from each spot in the hotel are stunning, a little piece of heaven.

-Hospitality at its finest: Each staff member was so professional, personable and considerate. They carried bags, delivered drinks, helped inflate the pool floats we brought, held our babies when we needed a quick hand (babysitting services available through outside providers too!) and attended to our every need. They knew all of our names immediately and we left knowing theirs because we wanted to! So many of our guests commented on the staff, their kindness and attentiveness. This aspect made us feel so special, and well cared for, it truly was a HUGE part of what made the trip so wonderful.

-Food!: We had the best food for each and every meal, regardless of the meal plan you choose, the food is top tier - no belly bugs, no picky eaters, just delicious. They are also really aware of any and all food allergies and intolerances the entire visit - just let them know! I am not a big drinker and they accommodated me with non-alcoholic options, my partner, however, LOVED the Pina coladas, margaritas and more, maybe a little too much;) The bar tenders were efficient and knew their way around a drink!

-Attention to detail: Having such a niche in wedding events and 4-5 day stays, they have done it all and seen it all. They have such a keen eye to detail, check our their instagram, it is picturesque and each picture is worth 1000 words. @playafiestaweddings

-Beauty beyond belief: The property, ocean views, rooms, vibes, people, all of it is so beautiful and the fact that they share this little piece of heaven with others is truly such a gift, everything Hotel Playa Fiesta is beyond belief, so incredible. Tropical paradise all to yourselves.

All this to say, I haven't even started on their wedding coordination services!

-Wedding coordination: BIG shout out to Lindsay and Gabi for their team work and thoughtfulness with helping us plan not only our big day but also the entire week! I like to think of myself as a low key bride, I knew exactly what I wanted, down to earth, but I also had my own ideas. Lindsay and Gabi were immaculate in their assistance, always prompt in responses, reasonable to requests, SUPER accommodating. These humans made our dreams a literal reality. We brought some decorations - they hung them up. I shared pictures and table arrangement ideas - they made it come to life. I wanted a group picture at the beach after our ceremony at the sundeck - they made it happen. Lindsay and Gabi are fine tuned to the most intricate detail, if they can help you make it happen, they will. Lindsay and Gabi were even there the day of our wedding, helping make sure the timeline was aligned, everyone was were they needed to be, things were being set up accurately and that everything went smoothly. I DID NOT have to lift a finger or enlist help to do things like make sure the cake had our wedding topper, make sure my lip color was not lost, set up or tear down tables, heard the guests where they needed to be, nope, the staff did it ALL. Over the course of 18 months planning (it sounds like a long time but truly it was the PERFECT amount of time). This team even helped guide us with their outside vendors and/or alternatives to make things before and day of go smoothly. In the end, I gave them my bride ideas and dreams and they made it come true along with seeing it out to the very very end. THANK YOU!!!!!!

Some tips from a longing bride wanting to return and do it again:

--Invite all your family and friends! We loved that our small group made it (56 total but they can accommodate more guest at their hotel and sister hotel) and by the end of the trip, everyone we invited that came were all THANKING us for making it happen. It was no longer something they had to do but were excited that it turned out to actually be a vacation and a wedding in once.

--Stay longer! Our group did the 4 night stay, but you have an option to come earlier, a la carte....DO IT. We flew in early and the moment they opened their doors on Monday afternoon, we were there. We are so happy we came early and stayed until the last minute on Sunday. We didn't want to leave, it was so perfect.

--Ask questions, there is no question to small or too big that this group of incredible humans cannot handle. Downtown dinner reservations, tours and activities on the town, fireworks, stone ceremonies, yoga, euchre tournaments, meals for the kids, modifications for allergies, you name it and they can handle it.

--BOOK YOUR WEDDING HERE! Do it. We were super apprehensive about booking a place without seeing it so my partner and I went to Mexico and visited Hotel Playa Fiesta on a Monday afternoon. I'm not kidding when I say, the minute we walked into the hotels main area, we looked at each other and immediately knew it was the place. We booked that night and never looked back. For reference: we booked in November of 2022 for a May 2024 wedding and the planning timeline, although it felt long because of our excitement, was ideal.

--Trust in this and other reviews along with the abilities of Hotel Playa Fiesta: The journey to Mexico, flying internationally (I'm located in Colorado, USA), traveling from the airport (they even helped us coordinate with a transportation team), and staying with the hotel (see all the raving I did above) was seriously amazing. With confidence, I can tell you to book it, even site unseen.

--Get ready to have the best time of your lives. Having all of our closest family and friends at an ocean front boutique hotel that serves the best views, food, drinks, hospitality was PERFECT. Not ONE shoe dropped. It was the best vacation with the most amazing wedding, ever.

P.s. I even made a trip advisor and wedding wire account to review them because my experience was top tier and I had to share!

-The happiest bride and groom there ever was (Natalie and Alan)

My husband Alex and I got married at Playa Fiesta on June 14th 2024. This was the best decision and week of our entire lives. It all started with Instagram. I found Hotel Playa Fiesta on Instagram 2 years ago. I reached out and immediately heard back from Lindsay and Adam. They told me they had two weekends left. Within a few hours the first weekend was booked. We needed to book immediately if we wanted to get married here in 2024 (This goes to show how amazing they are and how high of a demand it is to get to be married here). They walked us through all the contracts and answered all of our many questions. Paying the deposits was super simple and straightforward. They were always up front with the costs. Once it was all booked, the planning began. Even two years out they checked in all the time and were always so on top of everything. I am not someone who loved planning a wedding, but they made it seamless. They took care of every single little detail. They share a planning workbook that makes it SO EASY to stay organized and make sure nothing is missed. They walk you through every step of the way. They respond to emails so quickly and answer every single question you may have without any judgement. They are the truth definition of professionals. I could not have done that without them. We had 120 guests join us in Mexico and every single person said it was the best wedding they had EVER been to. Upon arrival, they help everyone bring all of their luggage to their rooms and make sure they are comfortable and able to relax immediately. You will never go without a fresh beverage. They are able to accommodate every dietary need. As the bride, I did not have to stress about one single thing. Lindsay, Tammy, Adam and Gabi took care of everything. It is seriously crazy when you are on the planning side of things for your wedding and know all the things they are coordinating and planning behind the scenes and then you show up and it truly feels like you are the only person who matters (you would NEVER know they are planning probably 30 other weddings at the same time). We brought a bunch of decorations and things from home and they made sure it was all set up exactly how we envisioned. The food and drinks at the resort are insane, some of the best I have ever had. Seriously there was not one thing that was not amazing. Charley the bartender is a legend. The beach is perfect for swimming and hanging out. The pools are lovely, clean and beautiful. The wedding was 100000x better than we could have ever imagined or envisioned. The fireworks and mariachi and amazing DJ were true highlights. I seriously could go on and on forever about how we have never had so much fun and felt more loved in our lives. We are so thankful to Playa Fiesta and all of the staff there. From the moment we met them we felt like we belonged to their family and hope to continue this amazing relationship forever!!!!

Hotel Playa Fiesta is the perfect venue for a wedding! We had a great time!!

Look no further, Playa Fiesta is the #1 choice in PV for hosting your wedding or event. I was fortunate enough to book my wedding at Playa Fiesta. The management and coordination staff are immaculate planners, making planning every detail of your wedding seamless. The owners are involved from start to finish and ensure your every question or request is answered quickly. Every single vendor they recommended to us is amazing (transportation, photography, bakery, florals, boat cruise, IV recovery, etc.). During the wedding week, get ready to feel like royalty and make lifelong friendships. All of the staff, from the chef, bartenders, waitstaff, cleaners, reception, coordination, management, are so friendly and amazing. They are a family and truly love working at Playa Fiesta which translates to perfect service all around. Drinks and food come out faster than you can order, every event starts on time, your room is cleaned perfectly. The hotel itself is beautiful and photos don’t do it justice. The beach is literally steps from the pool area, the ocean warm and lovely to swim in. The hotel is less than a 10 minute drive from Zona Romantica (really cool district with food/restaurants/bars). Taxis come in minutes and are inexpensive. Playa Fiesta is the only choice for your wedding or event in PV.

I had my wedding at Playa Fiesta in early May and it was the most amazing experience! The whole entire team was incredible and went above and beyond to make the wedding week special for us. Weddings can be stressful, but the planning process was seamless - Lindsay, Gabi, and Adam are truly the best. The hotel itself is a dream and you are so close to the ocean! The views are beautiful! My husband and I (and our guests!) cannot say enough good things about the stunning venue and exceptional service. It was the most magical week with all the people we love. We are so happy we chose Playa Fiesta for our wedding.

Lindsay, Adam, Gabi, Tammi, Bernard & the entire staff, thank you for a perfect wedding weekend. (Special thank you to Charly, the most efficient bartender we have ever seen & Ernesto who kept those drinks full wherever we were around the resort). Our guests could not stop saying how great you ALL were, the entire team. The accommodations, hospitality, and then the personal recommendations you provided Lindsay made this weekend more than we could have ever expected. We could not believe how well everything just fell into place, every day, all weekend long. Honestly, it was such a low stress environment for us, and you allowed us to just relax and enjoy each moment as they came. Lindsay, thank you for that, you just took care of everything. You truly have a passion for what you do, and it showed. Honored to now call you a forever friend, and we look forward to seeing you soon. The “game” of “wedding” we certainly won as our 118 guests agreed, with your help ;) – Forever grateful, Your new friends ;). - Bryan & Jeffrey (Not official photos below but just some candid from friends)

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience staying at Playa Fiesta! From the moment we arrived, I knew we had made the best choice. The rooms and accommodations are incredible - cozy yet spacious, super clean with comfy beds and plenty of balcony space. The pool, bar, and dining area are perfectly situated and there are so many cute spots to mingle and talk with family and friends. As a bride, I wanted for nothing because everything was taken care of by Lindsay, Gabi, Bernard, and the rest of the staff! They made things so easy and it was the most low-stress wedding planning I could've asked for - truly the biggest blessing. From their stellar communication and planning leading up to the wedding week, to the execution the week of, everything was flawless. My friends and family are still talking about what an amazing trip it was - filled with yummy food, flowing drinks and tons of relaxation and activities. I would recommend hosting your event at Playa Fiesta a million times over!!!!

Playa Fiesta in Puerto Vallarta exceeded all our expectations as both a boutique hotel and wedding venue. We were guests for the wedding but already can’t wait to go back! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and treated like family throughout our stay. The breathtaking ocean views, lush surroundings, and charming accommodations provided the perfect backdrop for our trip. Gabi, Tammy, Lindsay, Pato, Charly, Ernesto (truly the entire staff) went above and beyond to ensure every detail was executed flawlessly, making this wedding truly unforgettable. The onsite amenities, including the beautiful pool area, steady flow of drinks, and delicious dining options, added to the overall experience. If you're looking for a picture-perfect destination wedding or a relaxing getaway, Playa Fiesta is the ultimate choice. 5 stars all around!"

What an absolutely incredible place. From the stunning views to the world class staff. Plays Fiesta is an experience that is hard to top. Having the entire property to yourself creates a unique and intimate vibe for you and your guests. Highly recommend and am excited to come back!!

We were married at Hotel Playa Fiesta this March and have nothing but GLOWING things to say about this exceptional wedding venue. We stumbled upon Hotel Playa Fiesta on Trip Advisor and were married here site unseen. Because we never visited the property before our wedding week, we relied heavily on reviews. These reviews almost seemed too good to be true. Over 1000 5 star reviews?! We are HAPPY to report that these 5 star reviews are all 100% true. I had also talked to two other brides who had amazing experiences at Hotel Playa Fiesta before booking here, but it is truly hard to express just how special this place is until you experience it for yourself.

From the very beginning of wedding planning, Lindsay, Adam, and Gaby were exceptional. They would often respond in under 15 minutes to our emails! They were thorough, patient, and extremely kind. The actual wedding planning process is so seamless-you choose a food/beverage/décor package for your wedding day, and then you can add additional aspects, such as flowers, fireworks, etc. This really simplifies the process for the bride and groom, especially for a destination wedding. Since they have been doing this for many years, the vendors that work with Hotel Playa Fiesta are all so wonderful. As a couple with busy work schedules, it was important to us that the process of planning was simple, but that we could still personalize the aspects that were important to us. There are so many ways to customize your special day, from your seating chart, to bringing menus/guest books, to various colored goblet options, silverware choices, entertainment, candles, etc. They will truly work with you on any request to make your day special. I was absolutely blown away by the florals for our wedding day. I had several guests come up to me and say that our flowers were the prettiest flowers they have ever seen at a wedding! The hotel was completely transformed for the wedding day and looked absolutely stunning. I was also so impressed with the hair and makeup team-all my girls were SO happy with their hair/makeup. I was able to do a hair trial before the wedding day and absolutely LOVED how it turned out for the wedding night. The team at Playa Fiesta was also extremely helpful in the year leading up to our wedding with additional aspects we wanted to add to our wedding week, such as a boat day and arranging transportation for our guests from the airport. Lindsay connected us to a transportation and boat company, which were also FABULOUS.

Now to the wedding week. To say the hospitality at Hotel Playa Fiesta is unmatched would be an understatement. Charly, Pato, Ernesto, David…ALL the staff were some of the kindest people we have ever met and truly made us feel like family. Throughout the entire week, our guests would come up to us saying they could barely believe how wonderful the service was. The staff knew all of our guests by name, would remember their drink orders, and would often ask if we needed a new drink when we were only halfway through our current one! It was very important to us that our guests felt well taken care of, as they were travelling a long distance for our wedding, and we can say with certainty that this was the case. Just one example of this is this story here: One of our guests told us that the first morning she came down to breakfast and asked for decaf coffee. The kitchen did not have it ready but made a pot for her. Every morning after that she said they had decaf coffee ready for her when she walked down to breakfast. Truly this place provides 5 star service! Furthermore, the food was absolutely delicious and they were SO accommodating to our guests with dietary restrictions. Even on the wedding night, one of our groomsmen is vegan and Gaby personally made sure that he had a late night snack. Amazing, amazing, amazing service.

In addition to amazing service, the property itself is absolutely stunning. The beach area feels extremely secluded, and the views are amazing. The sunsets!!! They are truly incredible. Having the whole property to yourself makes it feel like a big beach party the whole week. The property itself is also spotless. Housekeeping at the resort is incredible-our room would be cleaned meticulously each day. All the common areas are also incredibly well taken care of. We loved having both pools to relax at, and there is no shortage of lounge areas for your guests to unwind at.

We truly cannot stop gushing to everyone and anyone about how incredible our experience was at Hotel Playa Fiesta. Our guests are already talking about trying to arrange for a reunion here, and several of our bridal party want to get married here as well! It was truly the best week of our lives and we can’t wait to come back soon!

I truly think Playa Fiesta is heaven on Earth. The week we spent here was the most magical time of our lives. Everyone who works here has such a thoughtful, kind, and welcoming personality. We felt like royalty. We arrived as strangers, but left as family. If you’re trying to find somewhere for your special day, this is undeniably the best option out there. It’s so worth the wait.

Every single employee was so attentive to every guest! It was the most worry free stress free wedding my family has ever had. Thank you to everyone at Playa Fiesta!!!

When my husband and I were planning our wedding, we knew we wanted something destination that would also be a vacation for our guests. Playa Fiesta delivered that and more during our wedding week.

We booked our wedding a year and a half out, sight unseen, based solely off reviews and responsiveness of their staff. As you can imagine when planning a wedding in another country and a place you haven't been to before, there can be a lot of anxiety and stress that comes with the process. Thankfully, Gabi and Lindsay were always there to answer my million + 1 questions quickly and efficiently. No detail goes unnoticed as they manage a handful of workbooks to keep everything on track. Planning a wedding can be extremely overwhelming but the second I stepped foot on the resort, every worry literally floated away. The pictures do not do it justice. Every room is unique, beautiful and spotless with a lot of rooms having balcony access and ocean views. I still miss waking up to those views every morning and watching the whales in the afternoon!

The staff is unlike any other resort or hotel we've been too. Everyone gets to know your name (and your guest's names!) and we truly felt valued as guests. Gabi & Tammy are on top of coordination, never overbearing but keep you in the loop on the things you need to know - a true blessing when you're a bride. Charly, Ernesto, Pato (I could keep going) are on top of the service, never leaving you with an empty drink or plate.

Something that was important to us was making sure this was an experience for our guests and Playa Fiesta delivered. I could write a whole post about the food alone but trust me and all other reviews that the food is next level. Our guests also couldn't stop raving about the massages which I can also confirm was one of the best massages I've had. We also had fire jugglers, an ATV excursion, morning yoga and a catamaran ride throughout the week - all that Gabi & Lindsay help us coordinate.

The ceremony and reception were stunning. I was worried about traveling with a lot of decor but you truly don't need much in a place like this - it speaks for itself. The florals were beautiful! It pained me to leave them behind, I was obsessed with the work Florart did for the bouquets, ceremony space and tables. Also, much love to the DJ who used our playlist as a guide, mixing favorite songs and adding in new ones. I didn't know what to expect but truly a great wedding DJ that had the dance floor packed all night.

We hope to return to Puerto Vallarta next year for our anniversary but know that it may not live up to the week we just had. Choosing Playa Fiesta was the best decision we made as a couple and even though destination wedding planning can come with stress (as do all weddings), their team makes sure you're taken care of.

Having a wedding at Hotel Playa Fiesta is hands down the best decision we could have made. We got married in January 2024 and at first wedding planning was very overwhelming as we had no idea what we were doing. That all changed when we decided to host our wedding at Playa Fiesta. Throughout the 18 months of wedding planning , Adam, Lindsay and Gabi made the process extremely manageable and dare I say even fun!!

The entire staff is genuine, helpful, incredibly accommodating, and truly go above and beyond to make you and your guest’s experience unforgettable. This includes all the hardwork put in by Gabi, Bernard, Tammy, Lindsay, Adam and every Playa Fiesta worker. They were all absolutely incredible from start to finish.

Bartender Charley is a legend, Ernesto also a legend, so much fun and kept the vibes/energy high.

Food was fantastic (chef’s kiss!), loved the variety of options, and very accommodating for me and my wife’s food allergies. We are still dreaming of the goat cheese salad!

The location is perfect! We had our own private castle for the week. The rooms were very comfortable and had lots of character making you truly feel at home.

The days leading up to the wedding were so much fun and filled with great activities. We both highly recommend booking the fire juggler and doing karaoke.

Wedding day, everything flowed perfectly. You can tell that Lindsay and team know what they are doing and they do it flawlessly! We can’t say thank you enough for all you did on this very special day!

The DJ crushed it! He kept everyone dancing on the dance floor all night. Many of our guests say they had never seen so many people dancing for so long at a wedding!

There is so much love and joy at Playa Fiesta and it shows in everything that they do. We had so many guests say this was the best wedding they had ever been to and a the vacation of their dreams. We are so gretful for all of the hard work Playa Fiesta put in to make our wedding week absolutey perfect and we are even more grateful for the beautufil friendships that we formed with everyone that works there. Part of our hearts remain intertwined at Hotel Playa Fiesta, it was the best week of our lives. Don’t think twice, book this spot.

From start to end, Hotel Playa Fiesta and all of the staff exceeded all of our expectations. My wife and I got married at the beginning of January here and loved every minute of the experience. The ease of planning the actual wedding with Lindsay and Gabi to answer our many questions, made all of our stress melt away. When we finally arrived for the wedding week, the entire staff took the time to learn all of our guests names and treated us like family. Our guests could not stop singing the praises the staff and how much fun they had at this beautiful hotel. The hardest part was leaving at the end of the week. The attention to detail and level of care we received the entire time was unmatched and we can't wait for an excuse to return.

My husband and I got married here in January of 2024 and it was truly the most magical experience of our lives. We started the planning process with Lindsay, Adam, and Gabi in August of 2022, and they supported us every step of the way. Planning a wedding can feel very overwhelming, but Lindsay and her team have each step laid out in manageable tasks. They were very responsive to all of our questions and were even available over the phone. Just based on the planning experience, we had very high hopes for the wedding week. To say they surpassed our expectations would be an understatement. The moment we walked in, the staff said, "This is your house." That sentiment was clear in every interaction and small detail. We truly felt like we were a part of the Playa Fiesta family. What a special family they are. Lindsay, Gabi, and Tammy anticipated all of our needs before we even realized we needed something. Ernesto, Charly, and the rest of the service staff knew all of our guests by name and took amazing care of everyone. Everyone and everything was perfect! The resort itself is just stunning, with spacious rooms, two pools, and beautiful beach access. The food was delicious, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming. We could not stop saying that it was the most magical week of our entire lives. We certainly left a part of our hearts at Playa Fiesta.

We wrapped up our week and wedding at Playa Fiesta and can truly say retrospectively, it was our perfect experience; we have no regrets and only high recommendations.

The owners and their staff are all incredible. Specifically, we were in direct communication with owners Lindsay and Adam, and their amazing Wedding Coordinator Gabi for the last 2 years. They were always responsive, usually replying to any questions we had within just a few hours. They kept us on a clear timeline without being pushy, and had us fully prepared for everything we needed - we each had zero experience with wedding planning, and we felt so secure in their hands knowing that we would not be missing anything. There was an Excel workbook we were given to work on, and just by chipping away at it every now and then we finished it with ease. Anytime we were unsure about something, we got a friendly and supportive answer to get us on track.

This whole setup led to the most incredible week. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted with such warmth and felt completely at home. The resort is stunning and we got a tour of each room to see all the individual touches that make each one special. There are 2 pools, a large one where often beach volleyball is set up (a surprising hit for a group of mostly non-athletes) and a smaller pool if anyone wants a less busy space. The beach is right down the steps and surprisingly uncrowded for being right next to the Hilton. Stunning sunsets every evening.

Something that was really important to my partner and I were that our families and friends would not only feel like they were loved and valued by us during our wedding, but also that they would connect with each other and build a foundation for our whole blended community moving forward. This week achieved that and more. When I think about the number of times I had genuine, unrushed, and intimate conversations with loved ones, and compare it to the few seconds I would have gotten with them had we chosen to have a singular wedding night, it solidifies in my heart what a great decision it was to have our wedding here.

The private resort setting created a completely different space than if we had just rented out a block of rooms at a larger resort. Rather than groups of our guests coordinating with each other to head down and spend time together at specific times, everyone would wander down to the pool area when they were ready to socialize just to see what was happening. This led to so much more mixing and mingling, and by the day of our wedding, we had so many mixed groups dancing, drinking, and celebrating together.

The staff at Playa Fiesta have the competency of absolute professionals, but more than that are so loving, accommodating, and kind. We felt like were part of a family and they so clearly authentically cared about sharing this amazing place with us so our wedding could be everything we wanted it to be. On the day of the wedding, I had no fears because Playa Fiesta has been doing this now for over 20 years. They have seen anything and everything and are prepared for all of it.

When planning what to do for our wedding, one of my partner and my biggest fears of choosing a wedding like this was that it would be too big of a burden to ask our friends and family to take a week off and fly internationally, especially during the holidays. Upon leaving, guest after guest told my partner and me that this was one of the best weeks of their lives. I could not recommend this experience enough. We are already trying to figure out a way to come back.

My husband and I knew shortly after getting engaged in February 2022 that we were not interested in a "traditional" wedding. We knew that we wanted to get married somewhere warm, somewhere easy to travel to, and somewhere special that would allow all of our guests to stay in one place. After considerable time spent researching various international wedding destinations, we landed on Hotel Playa Fiesta. From our very first email exchange asking basic questions about the resort and their wedding packages, we knew we had hit the jackpot. Leading up to our December 2023 wedding, we experienced incredible professionalism and customer service that made the entire planning process a breeze. Lindsey, Gabi, and the rest of the planning team expertly handled all our questions and concerns and made us feel at ease despite planning a wedding from thousands of miles away.



When we arrived for our wedding week at Hotel Playa Fiesta in December 2023, we were blown away not only by the breathtaking views but also by the incredibly friendly staff that made us feel right at home. Gabi, Lindsey, Tammy, and the staff at Playa Fiesta made my husband and I feel like royalty and constantly checked in to ensure all our needs were met. As our guests arrived throughout the week, we were continually impressed with the hotel’s ability to make each person feel welcome.



Our wedding day was quite literally PERFECT. From spending the morning getting pampered with my best friends and family, to dancing the night away with my new husband, I could not have imagined a more magnificent start to our marriage. The staff at PF crafted a wedding for us a million times better than our wildest dreams, and we are incredibly grateful to have spent the best week of our lives at Hotel Playa Fiesta.

This place was 5 star on every level. We had our wedding here and it was simply magical. Everything about it was perfect. When you have that many people traveling from all over someone is bound to have an issue/complaint but literally everyone had the best time and is still raving about it. The location, the hotel itself, the amenities, the food and drink, and most of all the staff. So much attention to detail. I chose this venue from an article I read and all the guest reviews and pictures. Let me tell you it was even better than I expected. We will find an excuse to come back again- it was that good. If you want a wedding or family reunion where you feel like a king/queen and all the coordination is done for you (but to your exact specifications) then this is the place. Having the entire place for just your group is everything/ makes the whole experience custom and next level. Literally can’t recommend it highly enough.

From the moment we decided on a destination wedding, my fiancé and I were filled with apprehension. The complexities and potential pitfalls of organizing such an event from afar seemed daunting. Yet, choosing Playa Fiesta in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, turned out to be the best decision we could have made.

For two years leading up to our wedding, the team at Playa Fiesta was with us every step of the way. Their attentiveness to detail, timely reminders, and pertinent questions made the planning process a breeze. They offered a variety of plans and options that were straightforward and easy to navigate. Moreover, the vendors they provided were top-notch—professional, talented, and a pleasure to work with.

Despite the excellent preparations, I found myself nervous as the wedding approached. However, all my fears melted away the moment I arrived at Playa Fiesta. The hotel was a perfect oasis by the ocean, a serene and beautiful setting that exceeded all expectations.

The week of the wedding was flawless. Playa Fiesta’s team delivered Michelin-quality service, ensuring both our guests and we were well taken care of. Every event, including those offsite, was meticulously planned and executed with perfect timing.

Our wedding suite was a dream—spacious, luxurious, and boasting a stunning ocean view. The wedding itself was nothing short of magical, set under an oceanside pergola with the soothing sounds of the waves as our soundtrack.

It’s hard to encapsulate just how incredible the experience was in a few words. This was not only the most beautiful and well-organized wedding I’ve been to (admittedly, I’m a bit biased!), but many of our 65 guests echoed this sentiment, calling it the best wedding they’d ever attended. In fact, my family is already planning a reunion at Playa Fiesta!

I cannot express enough gratitude towards Adam and Lindsay from Playa Fiesta. Their dedication, expertise, and warmth were instrumental in making our wedding a resounding success. If you're considering a destination wedding, look no further than Playa Fiesta. It’s not just a venue; it’s a team of dream-makers who will ensure your special day is as perfect as you’ve imagined.

This is the most special and unique venue I could have imagined. It has everything you could ask for in a destination location and my wedding week was perfect. I am a type-A perfectionist and uber organizer and there is not one thing that I would have changed about my experience at Playa Fiesta (except that I wish it had lasted longer).

You can truly make your wedding whatever you want here. If you want to book jet-skis for a day, they will be delivered. If you want to have fire dancers at one of your gatherings, consider it done and the list goes on and on.

All of Lindsay and Adam's vendors are professional and trustworthy. They really make it so easy for you. You never have to worry if someone is going to show up or if the service or product is going to be of quality. The owners have done all of the legwork for you so you can just enjoy your experience.

The staff was phenomenal. Gabi, Tammi, Charlie, Ernesto, Santana, Manuel and everyone else on site all became like old friends. They learned our names and our preferences so quickly. They were so genuinely kind and really make Playa Fiesta what it is.

The location of the villa is perfect. You are 10 minutes from the city and can have a taxi available to pick you up in 2 minutes. You have the beach right in front of the hotel, but honestly, we just loved having our own private pools overlooking the ocean.

The rooms and grounds are immaculate. They do renovations every year so things are always clean, updated and fresh. They were even painting on the day we left for the new group's arrival.

The food is excellent. Everything we ate was delicious and we were given such generous proportions! The team is so diligent to care for guest's allergies and restrictions. They really go above and beyond.

The value for what you receive here is unmatched - trust me, I looked at other venues over a 6 month span before coming back and booking Playa Fiesta. If you've dreamed of a beach wedding, look no further. This is intimate and beautiful and honestly perfect in every way.

I’m not one to write a review and based off all their positive reviews everyone is definitely
On the same page. Our wedding was over a month ago and I’m still in awe. I already knew it was a nice Venue and I would be happy but physically being there just blew my mind. I can’t explain how everything was soooo outstanding. Can i rate it a “100” lol my expectations were overextended from bringing to end. All
Of our guests kept giving us (the couple) compliments about the venue, food, hospitality over and over again. The staff is so attentive, food is delicious. They said playa fiesta went above and beyond. From the moment I contacted playa fiesta 1/2022 all my exceptions were met. I didn’t turn into bridezilla because I felt so comfortable playa fiesta and knew I was in good hands. Anyone i hear that Is getting married the first thing I say is you NEED to get married at Playa fiesta. You will
Not be disappointed. I can go on and on as I’m still in awe from our wedding week. It was absolutely incredible.

I was looking for a private venue in Mexico where our friends and family could stay in one place without other guests at the hotel for our June 2023 wedding. When I found Hotel Playa Fiesta, it seemed to fit all of my criteria. The rooms looked beautiful, it was beachfront, and it was big enough to hold a lot of people. However, I had never planned a wedding and had never been to Puerto Vallarta, so I did not know what to expect! I was planning a huge life event in another country from my home in Colorado and felt like I was taking a leap of faith.

Well, I couldn’t be happier that I did! From the first conversations and planning sessions with Lindsay and Adam, the wonderful owners of Playa Fiesta, I was at ease. They had everything I needed and made planning a breeze. They had the florist, the hair and makeup artists, the DJ, and a selection of photographers and videographers from which I could choose. They were extremely responsive, quick to act, and so organized. Planning my wedding was low-stress and fun! BUT I HAVEN’T EVEN GOTTEN TO THE BEST PART!!

From the minute we arrived at the property, I was blown away. The service is outstanding, and it is even more beautiful than the photos can show. I was greeted by Gabi, who acts alongside Lindsay on the coordination team. She gives the greatest hugs! She and Tammy walked us through the hotel and made sure that everything was perfect for all the guests we had coming. The rooms are all a little unique but each one is beautiful. I was worried the standard rooms wouldn’t be as nice as the oceanfront suites, but they were gorgeous and didn’t feel like they were too small.

Let’s talk about the actual wedding now because it was a dream come true. Lindsay and her team coached us through every step, from the rehearsal to the reception. We had our wedding on Friday, per their recommendation, and I am SO HAPPY that we did! It was awesome to have a recovery day Saturday where everyone could still be together and soak in the magic of the wedding night. Every vendor they recommended went so far above and beyond. The flowers were gorgeous, the photographer and videographer we chose were awesome, the glam team made me and my bride squad look so good, and the DJ kept the party rocking!! A special shout out to Christy who is the lead hair and makeup artist – she did some Reiki for me on my wedding day because I was feeling a little nervous and it helped so much! She and Brenda made me feel so calm and cared for. Splurge for the fireworks, you won’t regret it!!

The staff went above and beyond for us. I already mentioned a few names, but Gabi, Tammy, Martin, Charly, Santana, Alejandro, Alexis, Pancho, Manuel, and Rico, with everyone else working alongside them, filled every request and need we had. I can’t forget to mention THE FOOD!! Oh my gosh, I ate so well. The breakfast is delicious, every menu item is incredible, the dinner buffets were outstanding, and the team made sure all our guests knew what they could eat per their dietary restrictions and food allergies. The cleaning staff also does the most incredible job. The rooms were cleaned daily, and the whole hotel is well kept. I was barefoot basically the whole week and never had dirty feet! The pool is the perfect temperature to lounge in all day, the ocean is steps away with a safe little cove for swimming, and the sand is insanely soft.

If you are on the fence, just stop and book this venue ASAP. You will be so happy that you took the leap of faith.
