Hey Kristin!
My wife and I just returned from perhaps the best vacation of our entire lives, which also happened to be our Honeymoon! We stayed at Now Amber in Puerto Vallarta and the entire experience warrants an easy 5-Star, A+ rating. From the minute Carlos greeted us with a chilled glass of champagne and an ice-cold orange scented towel at valet, to the minute Roberto sadly helped carry our bags down from our room to our departing taxi, we were treated like royalty. This is something that you just don’t find nowadays and it was a welcomed surprise.
Having researched All-Inclusive resorts for a few weeks before stumbling upon Now Amber, we knew this was the place for us once we saw what great reviews the property had received on TripAdvisor and similar sites. Compared to similar resorts the price was better and the overall vibe was that everything from the location to the food to the service was amazing.
It seemed like every guest we met while there said they had been to countless other All-Inclusive resorts all over the world and this was by far the best they’d ever been to. We felt so lucky to have found such an amazing place on our first ever visit to an All-Inclusive resort!
Every single person who works at Now Amber was extremely professional and genuine. No matter what they were doing everyone always responded to us with “My Pleasure.” It was almost laughable because everyone was so unbelievably nice!
The food was all delicious and served in the most artistic way possible. No matter where we chose to eat, every restaurant felt like it was the best one on the property. We ate at the Italian, French, Mexican, Japanese, and Market Cafe restaurants for dinner two times while we were there. Every single meal deserved 5-stars. Every drink we ordered was also very delicious and the best part was the never stopped flowing until we chose to turn in for the night! Leon was our favorite lobby bartender, Javier & Jose were the best pool bar bartenders ever, and Jonathan & Hugo were the best poolside bartenders during our stay.
Perhaps the favorite thing about our entire stay was the pool area and the Entertainment Staff. Although there was eight or so different entertainment staff, Alejandro and Hugo were our favorites! Every day they made us laugh and we thoroughly enjoyed partaking in all of their different games and entertainment.
I could go on and on about how amazing this resort is, but alas I must conclude. Now that we’ve had the chance to experience this resort with just us two, we cannot wait to return (hopefully soon) with all of our friends and family. This is definitely a place that we foresee ourselves visiting fro many years to come!
Good luck and have fun 🙂
I have been to Now Sapphire and Now Jade. Enjoyed both resorts, but I recommend Now Jade. You won’t be sorry!
I would line to visit the Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun…it looks stunning and insure volleyball and soccer to boot! It would be a perfect spot to celebrate our anniversary:)
Because I have been a visitor to Now Jade, and highly recommend it, I would pick another resort just to experience yet again the best that the Now Resorts have to offer. I’d love to go to the DR and see what is in store down there 🙂
I’d love to visit the Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun. Wow is pretty much all I can say haha! I’ve wanted to visit mexico for a while, just can’t seem to convince my friends that it’s safe enough to go. Guess I’ll have t go without ’em!
Wow, embedded auto-play video on a web page is pretty much the worst idea ever.
I would choose the Now Amber because I have never been to Puerto Vallarta, and I love to try new places! They all look awesome!
I would pick either the Jade or the Larimar because of the lush tropical feel it looks like they have. Athough…any inclusive is a REAL vacation! No cleaning, no cooking, no laundry….just relaxation! Just what a vacation shuold be! And if you have little ones, the resort can watch them while you catch some suns or go exploring the grounds! I hope you win! Good luck!
I would chose the Now Larimar Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic
The Dreams Huatulco Resort & Spa sounds great !
Now Larimar – my vote
The Polar Vortex has me stressed! I need to unwind on the beach at the Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun!
We stayed at Now Larimar, It is the most beautiful place, the service and resort are beyond amazing.
Its been below zero every nigh for 4 weeks here, I could handle some warmth! Been to secrets resorts once and they are managed by the same company, very imppressive and i would love to try out any of these resorts, im not picky, send us to any of them!:)
I vote the Now Larimar Resort. The evening entertainment was amazing, the employees were amazing. We were treated like royalty there. I cannot wait to go back there again some day. The rooms were awesome the views were out of this world. The food..omg the food. Lots and lots of it and many choices. Very clean and beautiful.
We went to the Now Amber last year with our children and they loved it! It is a newer construction. the resort was very compact, which was perfect for a family with children–short walk to everything, easy to get to the restaurants and easy to find the kids at the pool! They are asking to go back again!
this looks amazing! want to go!
Ahhhh this would be awesome for a getaway, especially sitting here at the office looking and reading over your post…. *Dream*…thanks for sharing
Yes please! I am so ready for warm tropical weather. oh my goodness they all look so good.
Oh my! Those are beautiful pictures. Makes me want to book a trip there right now!
Looks like a beautiful resort! All that sun and sand look great as I sit here in yet another snowstorm in the Northeast! =)
Deep sea diving would totally be worth the extra nominal fee. Just look at the beach you’d have to go diving off of! What amazing resorts!!
I just love the one with all the watersports. That sounds like a blast!
These resorts look AWESOME! I hope our family can take a trip there sometime in the future.
So beautiful, I would never want to leave!
I’d pick the Now Amber Puerto Vallarta is in beautiful Puerto Vallarta because of the aquatic center for my family!
Oooooh. Deep sea diving is tops on my travel bucket list!
I could be happy there!!! 🙂
This looks amazing! Can I go there right now??
I would love to hop on a plane to the nearest luxury oceanside resort. I am ready for warm weather and I need some sunshine!
That does look amazing. I bet it’s nice and warm too!
i pick them all. right now. they said 6-8 inches last night and we woke to 10 and its still snowing 🙁
Oh my goodness, I want to go NOW!!! We are starting to look for a special retreat for Hubby and I for our 10 year anniversary. One of these would be perfect!
These Now Resorts & Spas locations look awesome. I’m so ready to get away from the snow and visit someplace warm to relax.
I love Puna Cana, but take me to any of them! Today will work!
Please teleport us there now!!! It’s supposed to be like -11 again tomorrow. This looks so peaceful and warm!!
Wowza they all look stunning!! I would LOVE to stay at anyone of them!!!
I’d love to go to any of these places, they all look so calming and relaxing. Love that some of them have activities geared towards kids.
The Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun looks, and sounds, dreamy! Movies on the beach as well as yoga on the beach would be wonderful vacation activities! After this chilly winter, I need some warmth in my life. And, like Summer said, honeymoon!!! 🙂
I hope you win!! 🙂
Not fair for you to post such great photos when we just got another 6″ of snow last night!
We havent had a real vacation in years. It would be so nice to go. I hope you win.
