Costa Sur Resort & Spa

Good:The staff who cleaned the room were wonderful: helpful, warm and welcoming. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The shower was large and had plenty of hot water. There is a nice, protected swimming with pretty good snorkeling. Bad: The food was terrible, both breakfast and dinners. I had the worst steak I ever recall. Food was often cold coming from the kitchen. In general, the food was greasy and poorly flavored. The front desk staff was not very welcoming. The store people were unhelpful, even refusing to give me change for a $50 (peso) note after I made a purchase. "We don't do that." The bell hops seemed more like guards than service staff. There is only a tiny beach. I did not feel like they were "gay friendly" though they promote themselves as such.

The only thing I find they miss, is a lifeguard for the pool and the beach area..

Went down to Puerto Vallarta for my friends son's wedding. Had a wonderful time. The staff was excellent. Very attentive, especially Ivan! He made our son's vacation very enjoyable with his quick humor and wit. We would definitely stay at Costa Sur again. Perfect location; not to far from town yet far enough away where you feel that you are on your own secluded resort-

Balcony overlooking the Bay of Banderas, large room, very comfortable bed, quiet, great pool, restaurant, and bar. Outstanding friendly staff! Had a great time in Puerto Vallarta. Bay water was warm and clear, beach had a lot of stones.
