The room was clean, spacious and bright. The balcony was an amazing space with an ocean view. The staff was helpful and pleasant. The breakfast was delicious and a great way to start the day. We very much enjoyed our stay here and would stay again if we return to PV.

Hotel Suites La Siesta
Huge room. Great location. Charming Mexican style from the 70’s. View is spectacular. The restaurant was excellent for dinner….had Caesar salad prepared at our table and dinners flamed right in front of us. Kind of retro stylish charm. Definitely dated, but in a good way. Not for you if you want ...
