Rosita Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff are kind and helpful. Excellent location!"

Casa Nawalli Puerto Vallarta Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Casa Nawalli hotel in Puerto Vallarta! The hotel was very clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. And the view was absolutely amazing! Even though is located in el centro is amazingly quiet and peaceful. Walking distance to the malecón and zona romántica. Amazing restaurants all around for example the famous La Capella restaurant is right behind the hotel. Very safe neighborhood as well. We loved our experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay in Puerto Vallarta."

BellView Hotel Boutique

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this hotel! It was quiet, authentic and charming. I read the other reviews about the church bells and did not find them loud or intrusive. The staff was lovely and they offer breakfast, lunch and dinner. I will definitely be back! Would 100% recommend! Why stay at some overcrowded resort when you can stay somewhere like here!? I had a huge balcony with two loungers and a table and chairs! Thoughtful amenities, even two chandeliers in my shower! Wow!"

Hotel Casa Kavia Vallarta

8/10 Good

"The room was cleaned and A/C working good. The only bad experience we had: we got to the hotel 25 minutes before checking in and staff told us room will be ready at 2:50 pm. the clean ladies left at 3:00 and come back at 3:30 while we still waiting from reception to give us the room. I asked why my room still wasn’t ready and receptionist said the clean ladies left for lunch, and room is not clean yet. Very disappointed experience."
