Rosita Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente servicio, el desayuno rico. Las habitaciones muy limpias. Solo ha e falta música más movida en la piscina."

El Pescador Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nothing too fancy but close to everything! Beach right in front. Tacos all over the place and things to do super close too! Mismayola beach 15 mins away in car. Near the malecón walking distance. If you get a balcony the view is pretty nice. This is somewhere comfy, clean and secure! But more of a on a go kind of vibe. Staff is on it with security and pretty kind! Would be back honestly!"

Loft Hotel Malecon Vallarta

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very modern, clean, comfortable, and had very helpful staff. The rooms were cleaned daily and had air conditioning. The kitchen area was nicely equipped with a table, fridge, sink, and utensils, plates and cups. I was very pleased with my stay at the Loft Hotel in Puerto Vallarta and would definitely recommend it! Plus, there was always hot and cold running water in the shower and sinks, and it was not extremely noisy at night like some of the other comments say. The hotel is located on the malecon, you should expect music and cars driving by."

Hotel Casa Kavia Vallarta

8/10 Good

"The room was cleaned and A/C working good. The only bad experience we had: we got to the hotel 25 minutes before checking in and staff told us room will be ready at 2:50 pm. the clean ladies left at 3:00 and come back at 3:30 while we still waiting from reception to give us the room. I asked why my room still wasn’t ready and receptionist said the clean ladies left for lunch, and room is not clean yet. Very disappointed experience."
