### 2/5 — App

*2026-01-31, version 1.251.0*

It seldom works. Terrible app.

### 3/5 — Does the job

*2025-09-16, version 1.251.0*

Does the job, but could use some improvements. Clicking explore twice should not open up the resort selector, should be set somewhere else. Would be nice to be able to change the currency to USD for the menus. Would be nice to be able to reserve more stuff on the app or view more events. I do like the filtering options.

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2024-04-28, version 1.243.0*

Map on the app is not great. Can only zoom in so much and does not rotate at all making it a bit difficult to navigate the resort. Nothing on the app showing the tram routes or which ones to use to get places. Could use a better filter for locating food/what’s open when ( certain restaurants closed certain days but don’t know until you click on the restaurant itself). Also not all restaurants have the menu on the app.

### 2/5 — Ugh, as bad as ever!

*2024-03-18, version 1.237.1*

I tried the very first version of this app years and years ago, before most people even bothere with apps for this kind of thing. It was horrible, and so is this one: massively drains your battery, constantly uses location in the background for no reason, and spams you with notifications that are 100% irrelevant to your current activity or even your whole visit.

And now, the new dining menus added are AWFUL. You can only see a couple of menu items at a time, and have to flip between different pages back and forth. Since printed menus are no longer offered on property, app menus are the only option and they are implemented in a very poorly-considered manner with awful design. It’s very hard to set up shared dining for a large group by scanning across several pages, scrolling up and down, all trying to figure out what goes with what. Then you have to memorize it all, because there’s no menu to point at for reference while you order!!

The app’s map of the property is perpetually out of date and has very little information. It’s barely functional at all, like they wanted to have a map but had no idea what people would use a map for.

Meanwhile there is no *functionality* to the app. I can barely reserve restaurants — it’s just an OpenTable browser on a small screen — but I can’t find one that’s open, or filter out all the tiny snack bars and pool bars. I can’t boop a button and get my concierge; I can’t get directions around the large property; I can’t let the bell know I need something without calling on the land line; I can’t see the housekeeping schedule, or see what floor the concierge desk is open, or make the app DO ANYTHING.

It’s basically just the regular bad Vidanta web site, except it drains your battery and spams you.

### 2/5 — App is disappointing; Resorts are nice

*2024-01-12, version 1.237.1*

App states other locations will be added. They have not. 

App is too generic to be if much use. It is not a owner / member portal.

### 1/5 — No way to change to Celsius and metric

*2023-12-16, version 1.237.1*

App doesn’t allow changing units to Celsius and metric making it super inconvenient.

### 2/5 — Funciona pero como  servicios muy limitados

*2023-08-15, version 1.237.0*

La aplicación prácticamente es informativa no tiene enlacé con la reservación ni para contratar servicios, ni chat. El mapa para ubicarte en los hoteles se actualiza con mucho retraso haciendo que la experiencia no sea fluida. Cumple si es para tener información general

### 1/5 — Hasn’t been updated in years!

*2023-08-07, version 1.237.0*

First off, the app is iPhone only, so screen resolution is the pits. More importantly, it is several years behind the state of the resort, at least at Nuevo Vallarta. There has been significant development on the property that isn’t reflected in the app. Overall, a waste of space.

### 1/5 — Decepcionado

*2023-07-02, version 1.237.0*

Estacionamiento con pago obligatorio y no te avisan, obviamente no se hacen responsables de posible daño 

Muchísima Pérdida de tiempo en el traslado interno de la habitación a la alberca o playa etcétera 

En la factura NO te avisan y te cargan un Donativo para su fundación… se pasaron con esto.

Carísimo se pesan esta pensado en que compres membresía para tener un descuento en consumo interno

0 oferta de entretenimiento, sólo kermes un día a la semana llevando un mariachi un rato 

OJO La amabilidad del personal es INCREÍBLE 
Es lo mejor su gente 
Políticas malas por ejemplo

Cierran los restaurantes a las 11:00 y no hay bar o restaurante 24 horas solo Room  Service
No vuelvo ni gratis

### 2/5 — Property share sales are deceiving

*2023-06-25, version 1.237.0*

We thought we had purchased a one bedroom but to this company based on their fine print, that’s a studio. They can’t be honest to their customers, they will only create a bad name for themselves. Very nice property, hotel staff are very nice but sales personnel are selfish sharks. Don’t trust them 👎

### 2/5 — Bad

*2023-04-03, version 1.214.0*

No sirve la ubicación por lo que no te puedes ubicar en el mapa, vaya basura 😠

### 2/5 — Inconsistent data

*2023-03-09, version 1.214.0*

App is not updated with current Acapulco restaurants on my phone but same version gives different data on husbands phone.

### 4/5 — Thanks

*2022-11-05, version 1.214.0*

I had originally written a negative review because after so many years there were still no walking directions. Well, my bad. I just hadn’t read the screen. Press the walking icon and away you go. It helps give you a feel for the entire resort and makes locating a restaurant a snap. Thanks. 
Aside from that all the menus and activities are listed and easily accessible. The map is a bit rudimentary and you can’t zoom in but all in all a good app and very useful.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Very poor quality

*2026-04-03, version 1.251.0*

It doesn’t work most of the time! Very poor quality.

### 1/5 — How about a TV guide

*2025-11-09, version 1.251.0*

The resort has lots of TV channels but no way to know what is playing or coming up on any channel. Maybe this app could provide a TV guide

### 1/5 — App no actualizada

*2025-07-13, version 1.243.0*

Llegué a Vidanta de Cancun y las actividades que me indicaba la aplicación no estaban disponibles. Me indicó uno de los empleados de mala gana(porque el servicio ya no estaban como hace años,ahora tienes suerte si los empleados te saludan) que las actividades mostradas en la aplicación no coinciden con el programa de actividades de ellos. Me pregunto para que sirve entonces esta aplicación????

### 1/5 — wish i could give 0 stars

*2025-07-08, version 1.243.0*

gps this bad in 2025 should be illegal. for a "luxe" resort they desperately need to redo this entire app

### 1/5 — Maps

*2025-07-02, version 1.243.0*

The maps on this are not good they only make things more confusing. For such a large resort you’d think the maps would be easier to navigate!

### 1/5 — It just does not work

*2025-04-05, version 1.243.0*

The app simply does not work as designed. When looking for directions the GPS location will randomly have you off in some distant land. The app contains a lot of conflicting information and is very poorly executed.

### 1/5 — Location shown is incorrect

*2025-01-14, version 1.243.0*

In the Vidanta app my location is shown as being several hundred meters south of my actual location (Vallarta). Google maps and the Bon app both showed my location accurately. This makes using the app for directions almost useless

### 1/5 — One star until annoying 50 year banner removed

*2024-12-19, version 1.243.0*

Every time you go to open the app, this 50 year banner drops down and interrupt what you’re doing, please get rid of this useless animation

### 1/5 — Pretty bad

*2024-09-19, version 1.243.0*

Not very useful nothing really works well would not recommend easier to just download the map from their website and hope for the best

### 1/5 — App Not working

*2024-04-02, version 1.237.1*

The app does not work at all on my android version 11 software. It opens to “Pro tips to maximize your app experience”. Then I can do nothing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but nothing…

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Muy útil  para los  colaboradores/trabajadores  del grupo Vidanta

*2024-12-06, version 1.243.0*

Un plus a lo que es una plataforma informativa muy estable  seria : 1 Agregar las rutas para correr dentro de los filtros de puntos de ubicación en el mapa, 
 2 Estaría de maravilla poder seleccionar mas de una variable para visualizar en el filtro de puntos de ubicación en el mapa 
 Yo quiero ver al mismo tiempo los hoteles ubicados en el área y los centros de consumo en la misma área sin cambiar de pestaña y dejar de visualizar uno u otro. 
3 Hay información que requieren sus usuarios que actualicen  con más frecuencia

### 5/5 — Me encanto

*2024-11-24, version 1.243.0*

Todo muy lindo todas la personas y como the estates y grand luxxe y lo mejor de la app y el hotel Vidanta y lo envío de Puerto Vallarta nuevo Vallarta. Y lo del parque padrisimo

### 5/5 — Super helpful!

*2023-09-29, version 1.237.1*

Such a great UI with accurate information. Lots of the older reviews have clearly been taken into consideration. You can see price ranges, each menu, and make reservations. The directions feature is a lifesaver!

### 5/5 — Super nice!

*2023-09-24*

Great UI (coming from a software developer) and excellent links to the menu for each pool. Way better than carrying around a paper map or wondering if the bar across the pool has better options. Only suggestion I would make is the ability to book entertainment and upgrades from the app would be great.

### 5/5 — God

*2023-08-12, version 1.237.0*

Did

### 5/5 — Great to navigate resort and events

*2022-07-02, version 1.214.0*

This app was extremely helpful for navigating around the resort and setting a consolidated event schedule.

It appears a previous version of the app must not have worked well, tanking its App Store rating. And the resort did not promote its use, perhaps for that reason. But this version worked perfectly and I hope they start to recommend it again.

### 5/5 — Must have

*2022-05-30, version 1.214.0*

Must have when staying at the property. I recommend downloading before arriving, it is helpful for planning and seeing what is available during your stay.

### 5/5 — Hermoso

*2021-06-11, version 1.36.0*

Super resort el mejor en servicio que es lo primero que necesitamos un buen servisio, de hay parte todo lo demás. Si tienes un buen servicio vas a tener una buena Abitacion lujosa limpia y cómoda. Las comidas las mejores que e comido en los resort. La limpieza y las bebidas originales.  Nada de clónadas. La opción de que tú decidas cuánto quieres gastar en tus vacaciones. Muy lindo resort

### 5/5 — Great app for phone!

*2019-12-04, version 1.22.0*

This app is fast and easy to use. Load it before you arrive so you can plan your holiday from the moment you arrive. It makes navigating the huge Riviera Maya resort much simpler. The directions and gps directed walking maps are essential for quick navigation around this huge property in a jungle setting. The pathways between the various lodging facilities and transportation network are an enjoyable maze however they do take some getting use to.

The restaurant descriptions and store hours are very helpful!

That said, the maps are low res without much detail which is ok because the buildings are marked pretty well and there is plenty of staff to direct you.

Bon Voyage...

### 5/5 — Such a big help in our stay

*2019-05-07, version 1.18*

We used the app everyday to check events, make dinner reservations, find activities, etc. super useful. Highly recommend. Great trip and this app really helped.
