Although it’s outdated it didn’t bother me much, the bed was comfortable and the staff was kind and helpful. HOWEVER, we ended up only staying 3 days out of 7 at this hotel. Soon after the first night we started noticing rashes on our skin, each day new ones would appear. On the third day we woke up with an extra guest between our sheets. Yep, you guessed it BEDBUGS! What we thought was something else turned out to be bedbugs. Although the manager tried to help by switching to another hotel we didn’t want to risk it. Like anyone would say he said it hasn’t happened in the 15 years I’ve managed the hotel. We didn’t believe him. We ended up canceling our remaining reservation and moving to a completely different hotel. I don’t think we will ever return.

A hidden gem in all of PV! Staff warm and helpful, breakfast awesome and the view, UNFORGETTABLE! You couldn't ask for a bigger bang for your buck! This is REAL Mexico! You couldn't have a better, more authentic time in one of the big Fancy Smancy Resorts, Trust Me!!! And, Stephanie has a Heart of Gold ????

Good budget hotel on the beach. Friendly staff, decent restaurant. Hotel is usually busy and a little loud, but I'd choose it again due to price

Good check in with help with luggage to room. No nice man. Thought I would have a fridge but none! Pool is ok great view but needs a cleaning. Location is really good close to downtown. Because no fridge and no coffee maker pass next visit. The restaurant was also too busy to sit.

Great value with an ocean-view room! My only request is that the hotel consider a different gate option to/from the beach other than asking a human to open the padlock each time. We really enjoyed our stay and the location!

Well, it's cheap but...I wouldn't recommend as there's no fridge, no coffee maker ( as promised when I booked online ) and some seemingly nice local guests asked for our room number repeatedly. Not a good feeling there. Red alert. Beds horrible, and the whole night I was fearful of bed bugs and cockroaches...smashed dead bug carcasses on the walls all over the room. Walls thin you hear EVERYTHING. Including toilet flushes of surrounding suites. If you're desperate, sure, but the Porto novo across the street is a way better Cheaper option. Just don't. That's all I can say. I felt like I needed to be fumigated upon leaving. I learned some lessons.

The internet is my tool and it’s unforgivable that they can’t offer a descent signal, NOT EVEN well IN THE LOBBY. I tried with tablet and phone. It disconnects easily and it’s slow AF.

It’s a 3 star hotel. I know it. But it’s more like 2. I do home office and was looking for something affordable but In good condition. I have found AirbNBS that look better and more affordable . 3 star doesn’t mean dirty, but they can also mean lack of maintenance . The check in was fast, but the Internet is terrible because they only have one router or two in the entire hotel. They were not helpful when I asked why wasn’t working. The lady on the lobby desk told me condescendingly “it’s Pescador with a capital P???? for the password. Only the lobby has so-so internet. I spent almost 500 USD for a week for a room that curtains are in bad shape, desk and chairs are and look old and need fixing (chipped here and there) . Good luck finding a place to sit down in the hot. Lobby just has 10 places dedicated to sit in the lobby Good luck finding one when the hotel is half full. No one greeted me in the restaurant lobby, so, I left. They also don’t enforce people not smoking. They don’t allow food/beverages in the pool area WHERE YOU SIT. Bummer

Otherwise Lovely affordable place if you don’t mind the details. It’s close to everything. Come with family, not alone. They seem to enjoy the experience more.
