Great location and price point. Very disappointed in the poor wifi service which was basically non-existent. Room had a large mini fridge but to microwave. Staff could have been more prompt in attending to room needs. I would stay here again (as I have previously) but just wouldn’t plan on spending any time in the room except to sleep.

We paid for our room 2 months in advance, only to arrive in Mexico to a room that was inside the hotel without any windows. It was extremely depressing. So we went back to the desk and she found us an ocean view room, with a balcony but we had to pay an extra $160.00 for it. I was very upset and I felt that we were scammed. No one would stay in the depressing room!!!

Miscommunication between Travelocity and Hotel!

Pros: The pool was clean.It was a safe environment. Restaurant servers were great!
Cons: To immediately communicate with Travelocity agents when confusion arrives before to give a hard time to burned out tourism that is checking in..
Location: Supermarket, transportation, pharmacies,restaurants, malecon,shops.....
I paid extra money at the time I made a reservation to get a two king size bedroom assuming that it will be for 2 adults.I also called a Travelocity agent and confirmed that it will be in an agreement with the hotel fees.At the time my sister came in first to check in, she was forced to pay a day charge plus tax even thought it was already paid off for her and me to stay for a week.The hotel front desk lady didn't let check in to enter the room.She forced her to paid double saying that a double room was for one adult? When I arrived I recalled Travelocity agent Eve. She clarified and renegotiated once again that a double bedroom is for 2 adults and even for four.After being on the phone FOR 4 HOURS on our first-day vacation, the Hotel Pescador manager gave my sister her money back and stopped charging us for her staying in same room.

Back to Puerto Vallarta after many yrs

Pros: Location and staff were friendly and helpful
Cons: Updating some rooms
Location: Great location for walking and catching the buses. Good, quiet restaurants near by.
My location at El Pescador was great for both day trips and walking the Malecon. The staff were friendly and helpful. Get a room ocean/pool side for a great night breeze. Looking forward to staying there again.

Great location & well maintained. The room actually had a safe (not down in the lobby anymore), so with that, and the attentive security, we always felt safe. Beds were firm but not unbearable. Could really use pool-side drink/food service, as, well, being on holiday is about being lazy, right?! Only ate at the restaurant a couple times for breakfast. Eduardo was a standout among the servers. The porters were good for flagging down taxis from the main street. Housekeeping was very good, always made sure to leave a crisp $USD (or 2) on the pillow daily. We’ll definitely return!
