This place is not good. Their website sets a high expectation and we were really excited for our visit. On arrival it was immediately clear this was not going to be the experience we were looking for. All the paint on the floors; walls, slides, signs, changing rooms, lockers, everywhere, was faded, flaking off or missing altogether. The slides were in really rough shape. More than half the slides weren’t even open. Those that were open, looked and felt unsafe. You could feel the joins in the slide sections as you went down, way more than you should. The walkways up to the slides were uneven, chipped and dirty. The slide structures were all rusty and corroded. They can’t have been safe. The inflatable rings needed for several of the slides were very tired looking and most had numerous repair patches on them. There was a lot of trash strewn about the place as well. The concession stands were completely lacking. 3 of the cream freezers were completely empty. The one freezer that did have something it looked really unappealing. Changing rooms weren’t particularly clean and many of the cubicles were missing a privacy curtain. The only section of the park that appeared to be well presented was the dolphin encounter experience area. This is obviously where they make their money so they are neglecting all other areas of the park. The waterpark needs to be closed and given a serious overhaul in all areas before it is fit to be open to the public. Until that happens, I would avoid this place at all costs.

My bride and I visited Aquaventuras Park during our brief stay in Puerto Vallarta. We'd pre-purchased park tickets via Triple A / Carnival two weeks prior, and yet still endured a laborious 45 minute wait in a cramped, humid office while they processed our tickets. Even though we arrived at 11am on the dot, the stated start time posted on our tickets, we were asked to return at 3:45pm for the NEXT "Sea Lion encounter," aka the very reason we chose this park! After a few minutes of deliberations, we wound up receiving a truncated 15-minute, personal experience w/ the sea lion. The caliber of the sea lion show, however, was OUTSTANDING! POPEYE is the park's nine yr old, fun loving and bright eyed sea lion. He entertained us with special tricks, poses and even kissed each of us- On the cheeks. Special kudos belong to employees JESSIE and ANNIE. Jessie is Popeye's trainer/attendant, and you could see the loving bond that she's built w/ this dashing animal. Annie is the staff photographer who skillfully created a beautiful set of 55+ photos to commemorate our sea lion encounter for all posterity. Pro Tip- Aquaventuras is an aging water park, in need of a couple coats of paint and some general TLC. Also, the intake procedures -where you've up to five employees rather aimlessly congregating behind the counter while only ONE employee helps check customers in- could be tightened up. But if you're patient and willing to look beyond the park's need for a face lift...then you'll enjoy yourselves.
