It's the only place we ate breakfast and got salmonella food poisoning. Was not happy with my stay there at all and will never be back.

We're very sorry you had an unpleasant stay. However, a quick google on salmonella reveals the following: "Salmonella infection is usually caused by eating raw or undercooked meat, poultry, and eggs or egg products or by drinking unpasteurized milk. The incubation period — the time between exposure and illness — can be 6 hours to 6 days." Thus it is impossible to state with assurance how you were infected. And since NO ONE, virtually no one else at the hotel has complained of stomach illness recently, it seems highly unlikely that the source was your breakfast at Hotel Mercurio. If there was some contaminated food, others would also have consumed it and gotten sick.

The staff here is always so nice and friendly. The food is always great. The music plays from early morning until late evening though. If you want a more quiet stay ask for a room away from the pool area. Otherwise I love this place. I’m definitely coming back. Walking distance to everything and a block from the pier.

Thank you for your commentary, Theodore! We really appreciate it. For those concerned about the music in the pool/bar area, we play VERY soft jazz in the mornings during breakfast and until about 2 PM or 3 PM. Then the Happy Hour is 3-8 PM, and their music is a bit louder. The bar/restaurtant closes at 10:30 and the music goes off completely and we ask guests who may remain in the area to please respect other guests by keeping voices a bit lower. Hope that clears up any concerns so that folks can make informed decisions.

I really enjoyed staying at hotel Mercurio, due to the location. The breakfast was very tasty, and you do not need a car, to get around. The hotel is located, in the gateway area, of Puerto Vallarta. The staff including management, treat you like if your at home. I recommend, this hotel, to the single traveler, or for a group of people. The bride next to the ocean, was assume.

I truly enjoy my stay in Mercurio hotel. This is not a typical standard hotel. This place brings the vibe of old Mexican culture. I would even call it exotic. I felt myself welcomed and happy!
