My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The rooms were clean, very nice, and definitely worth the price, although they felt a bit stale. The service was friendly, but the cleaning and service staff were slow at times. The location was good, away from the Puerto Vallarta crowd, with a clean pool area. The dining experience was nice, with a buffet style offering, although they ran out of food in the late afternoon.

Facilities were on point, providing a comfortable stay.

The hotel has a cozy, authentic Mexican vibe perfect for a getaway. The rooms give that homely feel we adore when visiting Mexico, featuring a comfortable bed, quiet air conditioning, and a nice, hot shower. However, the service had its downsides with questionable treatment of local animals. The location is ideal, offering a jungle-like ambiance with bird sounds and a convenient position between the beach and Mismaloya. The dining experience, although very Mexican and with fresh, tasty dishes, left room for improvement. The facilities are a mix of positives and negatives, but the overall value for money is decent.
