Chuck Canada

This was a great hotel! Everything was very clean and comfortable and the restaurant next-door had great food and service! The receptionist was super friendly and helpful and it’s now my new favorite hotel when I’m in Puerto Vallarta!

Kima United States of America

Bed mattresses were nice and comfortable. Showers had good strong consistent flow of water. Restaurant on ground floor was convenient to grab food with good menu delicious authentic Mexican menu and nice full bar. Each room gets a pitcher o fill up filtered water from downstairs bar which is very appreciative. Staff maintains good standard of cleanliness. Convenient to everything you need for the stay. Taxi waiting area is right across the hotel making hauling taxi or Uber very easy.

Nina United States of America

Great location!! So close to all entertainment and restaurants. Their own restaurant had good food. Loved their cappuccino in the morning . Staff were lovely helpful and always busy making life easy!

Jo Canada

Location, hotel and rooms are clean, restaurant is good.

Patricia United States of America

I like the location is very convenient and near to many places where people can enjoy, like good restaurants and the malecon just steps away. The staff is very helpful and is there to show concern about the guests needs. I couldn't be more thankful to all of them that strive to keep the hotel in a wonderful shape and always greet you with a smile on their faces. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is looking to stay in a place of comfort and cleanliness. I personally thank Cali and Carlos from the front desk because they are awesome at what they do,(Keep up the good work guys). Thanks a lot to the restaurant staff as well,good service and great food.

Juan United States of America

I liked it that no one bother me with the non sense of the fever taken and the feet on a pool of disinfectant or masks or distances. It was wonderful that all that is over and people are coming back to their senses, specially hotels. The only hotel i would trust it is a hotel that didn't do any extra special cleaning because they were already very clean but i didn't find any who states that, so that means that hotels before Corvid were not being very clean. Food in the restaurant is good.

Adriana United States of America

This property and the restaurant on the first floor were great values.

Alina United States of America

The location was very good as it was close to the beach, and many shops, restaurants and bars. The bed was comfortable and the A/C worked well. The staff were friendly.

Misty United States of America

I really liked my room, the bed, sheets, hot water, AC and the staff: housekeeping, maintenance and the front desk, all are great. The restaurant is my favorite in all of PV. Also the location is perfect.
