Great value hotel. Great location. Plenty of food and good quality buffet. Some of the staff were a bit strict but I guess you need to be with so many people strolling around on unlimited alcohol.

We arrived just after the hurricane of 2015 (September). the hotel was closed for one night of our stay, but the rest of the week was amazing. We basically had the place to ourselves. Price is amazing, food and drink all inclusive were out of this world and the staff were brilliant, still in touch with some, and intend to return! viva la mexico

Awesome, the pool at night looks pretty, the beach has a lot of rocks, the drinks at the bar are the best (especially the barba negra), the chicken in the buffet was burnt and mostly bone, the rice is amazing, the pool with a castle and boat is very cool, i dont trust the water cuz i think its tap water so i drink soda instead, the tv quality is Terrible because the tv in my room gets glitchy and green, and this is a place i would love to spend 3 days at.

Eventhough it looks great and people were nice I didn't like the fact that we got an old TV, and some parts of the hotel itself looked not that cleaned. I don't think the one restaurant was enough for everybody AND at one point the lights went out for a few hours when the weather was extremely hot and humid... Anyways, in my opinion it needs some work on keeping it up-to-date.

2018 Update! This year’s stay at Vista Playa de Oro was bittersweet. We learned that the face of VPDO, longtime tireless customer satisfaction advocate Jorge Ramos was retired by the hotel early into our stay. We first met the ubiquitous Jorge 13 years ago and discovered him to be not only fun and informative but the point person for resolving any issues that arose before or during our many stays. We’ll miss him. Best wishes to Jorge and his family for a long, healthy, and fun retirement. Jorge suggested we try a new room and we loved it! Our new favorite and the one we’ll request next year! It seems rooms are slowly being modernized as this one was. Very comfortable. Loved the new beds! We met a few new animators – Eddie, Fanny, Elly, Cruz, and Charlie who joined veteran performers Carlos, Salvadore, LuLu, Perla, Johana, and Raul. A very talented troupe and excellent people. We much enjoy the nightly shows and the energy and fun they bring to the events and attractions throughout the day. They make the experience at VPDO a great one! We much enjoyed the food service and the opportunity to catch up with those fine folks who serve and prepare it and take care of us in the dining room. We especially like the albondigas, pork roasted with 3 chilis, carved beef, chicken in a cream sauce, fish dishes, expertly prepared omelets, fresh veggies (especially the broccoli). Yay! A new pool and water attraction called “The Kraken” for kids opened during our stay and the ninos loved it! We looked forward to the daily water aerobics, water polo, and water volleyball in the Big Pool! There’s a couple things we wish VPDO would improve. Internet access; it’s always been lousy. We don’t come to the resort to use the internet but it should be fast and reliable when we need to use it. We demonstrated to front desk staff on a couple occasions it was unavailable and unusable even in the main lobby! Pool stairs. Please add stairs to the main pool for aging adults who would love to use to the pool but are uncomfortable or unable to get in and out using only the ladders. Thank you. 2017 Update! Based on previous great experiences at Vista Playa de Oro, in March 2017 we spontaneously decided to extend our Manzanillo vacation by one more week so we could enjoy the hospitality once again. Glad we did! Jorge Ramos was friendly as ever and made sure our Vista Playa de Oro experience was all that we hoped it would be and it was!! Thankfully Jorge found us a lower-level room near the pool. My knees are bad and do not tolerate a lot of stairs or hills. The rooms are spacious and clean, the food is very tasty and prepared on-site from fresh ingredients, the nightly shows are great, and the pools and grounds are impeccably maintained! Jorge and Mauricio run a top-notch operation and now that I’m FINALLY getting around to writing this, I’m thinking we should spend our final week this year at Vista Playa de Oro!
