We stayed here for a week in late October. The property is clean and well-maintained. Everything you could want is within walking distance, and other things are an Uber ride away. Jesús was an awesome bartender at the rooftop pool/bar. Javier and Iván took good care of us when we arrived. The rooms are painted in vibrant colors, and the bed was comfortable. The lobby has 2 cats that I loved to see every morning. When we come to Puerto Vallarta again, we’ll make every effort to stay at this hotel. 10/10 property

We stayed in the Carlotta. This is a ground level suite. The set up was perfect for a family. Air conditioning worked amazingly for how hot it was. Our room was always cleaned impeccably and we were provided with fresh linen and towels daily. Only note is you will hear outside noise and noise from above rooms occasionally, however it didn’t bother any of us. Really loved the location! Walkable to many different places for food and drink and to the beach. Easy to catch an uber for further excursions. Would totally recommend and can’t wait to stay in the others suites!

Needs complete remodeling, big apartment but very old. Did not feel comfortable staying there. Not safe for kids because they could fall from the room and stairs. Baby crib from the 80s that no kid could sleep in we were charged for it but they did remove the charge after speaking to them. The staff were nice. They do lock the entrance door so it’s safe to stay there. Big kitchen has everything you need
