I read several reviews of Club Regina before my visit in June 2022 and I feel it's necessary to set the record straight with a fair honest review.
Let me start by saying I visit Puerto Vallarta regularly for work so I'm familiar with the area, the resorts, the food, the culture, and the prices. For this particular visit I traveled with my wife and we were in Puerto Vallarta for pleasure, not business.
First off, I'm going to give this place a very solid 4.5 / 5 stars. I was very impressed with the resort overall, the grounds, the rooms, the bed, the pool, the beach access and beach loungers, as well as the service and dining options.
Checkin was very smooth, quick and friendly. After checkin we were approached very briefly about a time share which we kindly declined and then were not bothered about it again for our entire 5 day trip. Honestly, if you're visiting PVR you should plan on being approached about time shares everywhere you go, Club Regina was the most respectful and least pushy (Vidanta is the worst, avoid those sales reps unless you want your time wasted).
Our room was really clean and spacious with a very comfortable king size bed. Our view of the beach and the ocean were absolutely breathtaking from the 13th floor. Obviously this resort is not brand new so some things were a little dated, but for the price you pay per night I felt it exceeded expectations! The couches, chairs, kitchen, bathrooms, and beds were very clean. Room service came by each day to clean the room and they were very helpful with providing extra towels and toiletries.
The staff working to keep the pool and the grounds clean did a great job. Also drink and food service pool side was quick and friendly. We provided our room number and they simply charged the card on file which made ordering very convenient.
We ate at Inizio for dinner one night during our stay and the food was great! I ordered the salmon and my wife had fettuccini. The food came quickly and was served hot. The lighting and mood of this restaurant on the beach during sunset were everything you'd hope for when eating near the beach in Puerto Vallarta.
All of that said, if you're looking for an affordable, nice, comfortable beach side stay in Puerto Vallarta this is your place!
