“Friendly Fun Vallarta's all-inclusive setup aims for breezy family getaways right on Banderas Bay, and mostly succeeds, though the one-bar bottleneck at night seems like an odd hiccup. I see a solid base for mingling and good times, even if the buffet plays it safe; plus, being a quick Uber ride from the Malecon is a real win.”
