    Fantastic

    I had a fantastic time. The suites were spacious and everyone on the hotel staff was helpful, talkative, and polite. Dora was especially helpful. She taught me some words in Spanish and was the best ending to my time at Valentín! My only complaint is the lack of spicy food. They cater to American and European taste.

    Another great vacation!

    We stayed at the VIM for our ninth visit on Jan 2 - 9th. We immediately noticed all the remodeled areas and restaurants. One reason we love to return to VIM is the entertainment. We have been to many other AI resorts and no other resorts has all day and night entertainment going on. As usual the staff is fabulous and the food is always great. We are looking forward to our 10th visit!!!!!
