“There's a genuine Mexican atmosphere here, reflected in an older, established property with a very good restaurant; its location near the Malecon puts everything within easy reach. I found the staff helpful and the on-site internet surprisingly effective, creating a great base for exploring or working remotely; the quiet pool provides a welcome escape too. For a short stay in Puerto Vallarta, it's a solid choice.”
