Los cuartos muy amplios el baño muy amplio la tensión muy buena y dedicada
Si estás en Puerto Vallarta y quieres un hotel económico y con los servicios básicos de internet, TV y agua caliente este es una buena opción, se encuentra a buena distancia de la playa y cuenta con un dibujo muy padre en la sala de recepción con las playas más llamativas, Te va a gustar!
Very cute hotel! Close to the beach, simple but clean rooms
A wonderful oh heck everyone and everything was wonderful on my visit to my new slice of heaven. Vallarta Mexico is a home away from home. Warm friendly people as the warm Pacific Ocean. Check out Blondie’s
Excelente hotel cerca de la playa a unas 6 cuadras caminando esta muy cerca y la atención del personal de recepción excelente y cada dia te hacen limpieza sin falta y lo mejor que tiene agua purificada en cada piso Yo me hospedé 7 noches y todo muy bien lo recomiendo
I had a wonderful time staying here. The hotel is very welcoming. The gentleman, I will have to get his name on another visit was very comforting. Thank you for a relaxing evening.
En general el hotel es bueno las habitaciones son comodas, el precio es bastante accesible la higiene dentro de lo que cabe es buena y la ubicación también es buena ya que si no me equivoco se encuentra como a 4 cuadras de la playa
It's got everything you need and at a great price. They have gallons of water outside the rooms and the staff was lovely and helpful as well. Great if you're planning on being outside the room for the most part and just want a comfy bed and a nice place to take a shower.
Cool area with hip bars, galleries & global restaurants, plus a striking pier on Los Muertos Beach.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Jalisco. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
