The hotel has a beautiful setting with many clean and well-maintained outdoor areas. The staff here is friendly and helpful, but the room we received didn’t match our booking and lacked comfort. The location is quite convenient, close to shopping and dining options. Overall, it's a good value for the price, but the room situation could definitely use some improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is great, right on a family-friendly beach in Puerto Vallarta and close to downtown. The rooms were decent for our family, but it took a while to get the room we needed. The service was attentive overall, but there were some hiccups. On the downside, there's no shade around the pools and the dining options were limited, especially for dietary preferences.
