Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Jalisco

We stayed in Penthouse Suite # 1 which has a wonderful 180 degree view of the ocean. The suite is nicely appointed & very spacious. It has 2 bedrooms each with an ensuite bathroom. There is a king bed in each room. The penthouse suite has a separate lounge & small dining table. The suite had a microwave & full size fridge as well as utensils. We were very comfortable. We had own private plunge pool. It was cold, but enjoyable. Filtered drinking water is available on all floors. We had a pitcher in our suite which we kept filled. The Pool bar is great & the bar tender made me fabulous pina coladas. The location of the hotel is very convenient. We loved walking the Malećon & visiting Old Town.

We really liked that the beach is a few steps across the street and you can get chairs and umbrellas from the hotel. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the free breakfast is amazing! We didn't like that the pool area is kind of small and you can't really get pool service. It doesn't feel like you're at a resort, but it's what you get for a rooftop pool. The food at lunch by the pool is amazing. The surrounding area of the hotel is kind of dirty, but never did we feel unsafe. It's a great location for walking to the Malecon and to several restaurants. It's the 2nd time we have stayed here due to it's location. One downside is that you cannot flush toilet paper down the toilet so you have to put it in a garbage can which takes a little getting used to.

Fantastic roof top pool with a spectacular view. Great location. Pool snack bar was wonderful. Rooms are big. Beds are very hard. Nearby bar blasts music until midnight but roof top pool made up for it.

It was a very relaxing quiet oasis off the main boardwalk but not too far from everything that Puerto Vallarta has to offer. The staff was proactive and kind. Their complimentary breakfast was delicious and green juice to look forward to each morning. I would come back again to this property because of the laid back vibe. The pool with the view of playa camarones was breathtaking, the rooftop bar snack was all fresh to order. I wanted to stay away from screaming kids in the pool so this was the perfect stay for those looking for quieter atmosphere.

Clean, small, nice, and comfy. The pool is not heated, it was too cold. My husband did not go in me, and my boys did, but we froze, for good 30 minutes. NO water bottles for your room. One minute away from the beach walking distance. The service was excellent! Our stay was for 2 days and breakfast was cold both days. Will recommend the snack bar by the pool. Food, drinks, and service were excellent! Over all 9/10.

The Hacienda Adults Only pools were quiet and lush. We liked the bigger one and swim up bar. There are lots of pool lounger chairs and umbrellas. All the staff gave top-notch service. Food quality was really good at all the a la carte restaurants and buffets. French was our favorite. We loved the lamb chops in red wine reduction. The Asian and Mexican theme nights at the main buffet were done well. There were both inside and outside seating there. The rooftop bar above the Mexican Restaurant was our favorite pub but wasn't open some nights.. There is also a rooftop sushi day bar overlooking the ocean with an infinity pool that had the best view of the bay. The nightly entertainment shows were all excellent. There was an acrobatic show above the pool with a fire show, traditional Mexican dancing, a Michael Jackson show, and an outside carnival style games night. The room was large and well appointed, with a large fan above bed with a wall switch and quiet air conditioning. Big tv, a safe, a stocked mini bar, table and chairs, and a reading lounger chair. Great shower area and tub. Nice balcony with big chairs.. We tipped housekeeping daily and had excellent service.This hotel really aims to please. We were impressed and will probably stay again.

customer service was great! Paula cleaned our room and she was great! she was able to schedule the cleaning of our bedroom at times when my baby wasn't taking a nap. Daniel at the pool was great! He knew exactly what we wanted as soon as we would get to the pool. All staff was very friendly and provided great customer service. The food was delicious!

Resort was very nice and clean. Staff went above and beyond to meet our needs for a friend's bachelorette party. Buffet was good, restaurants were excellent. Pool facilities were very clean and towels were always available.

We really enjoyed the adult’s area! Because it was beautiful and kind of quiet, so we enjoyed the gorgeous pool, even to walked around the property under the rain was the best experience ever!!

We loved the hacienda side and roof top pool

Very big hotel. Large pools, kids pool and adult only pool. Bar everywhere and great service

All the personal was very nice, I. Was there to celebrate my birthday with my best friend, her husband, and daughter. Then my son, my daughter in law an my 3 grandchildren arrived as a surprise, the personal at the registration desk, help him to locate me and surprise me. So at the end it was 10 of us we all liked the facilities, the food, buffet had very good variety, our room, very clean and comfortable, but my favorite place was the adults pool, the infinity pool was awesome.

I definitely love the big pool, which is excellent for my family. The room has a nice pool and sea view. The beds were comfortable.

Loved the beach and pool area. The bed was very comfortable! The food was really good actually compared to others all inclusive options. All was lovely.

The restaurants and the pools were great. We enjoyed them to their fullest.

Loved the location. Quiet, but close to downtown. Loved the private pool and the open air layout of the Sky Suite C. But the best was our chef Benjamin who prepared 5 star quality meals for us. He was very professional.

Wounderful set up for family vacations w three three bedrooms and private pool.

Beautiful suite with private pool. Great beachfront location.

Amazing indoor/outdoor living, private pool overlooking the ocean, airconditioning and large bedroom/bathrooms. We were also really lucky to have been hosted by a private chef, Sara, who cooked us the most delicious authentic meals. Couldn't be happier with our stay at Vallarta Shores Beach Hotel!

The apartments are quite unusual and luxurious. They are all catered for. We had 3 different rooms during our stay, 2 with our own private pool. It's right in front of the beach which is really nice.

The pool suite does not have a "private pool" as advertised. Was very disappointed by this... There is a large spa in the room however it wasn't clean enough for us to feel comfortable using it. The water turned brown after filling it. The room was nice and clean, very spacious. I wouldn't call it a suite though, there is only one space and a pretty large bathroom. The staff was amazing, very helpful and friendly and the property is very well kept and clean. You could eat off of the floors in the hallway. The pool is nice and there's a little bar and a restaurant as well. Overall I would recommend this hotel and I would stay here again, just not in the pool suite. Next time I'll try the presidential suite and see if that room fits with its name a little better.

Breakfast was just some croissants and water. Food was very good and reasonably priced - at restaurant, pool, or room service. drinks were rather expensive. GREAT location, Bruno and Octo just 1 block away, SSAM nearby. Nice pool area, balcony on 2nd (1st floor in MX) overlooking pool was fun. Oxxo 1.5 blocks away. not too far from Centro, and close to Centro Magno (walking) and Gran Plaza (50-60 peso uber)

I’m a person that relies heavily on reviews so please read this one if you are debating on staying here! This hotel was fantastic! Super clean, safe and quiet area. The security guard outside is great, and its not difficult to ask them to open or unlock the gate. The rooms are trendy and so is the waiting area. The pool is AMAZING and has a bar to purchase drinks and alcohol, pool towels are included. Online also mentions the pool closes at 9pm but everyone hung out until much later and it was fine — I’m happy you can enjoy it all night. I read a lot of complaints of no hot water in the showers but when I showered at night it was VERY hot. In the morning was cooler but still not cold.

Very professional, helpful and courteous staff. High comfort level. Pool is really great, with warm water, and the pool courtyard lovely at night. Restaurant chef cooked for you anything you wanted from the long menu. I stayed almost 2 weeks and it felt like home, only more luxurious.

Great hotel with a wonderful staff. Nice pool with jacuzzi pool. On site restaurant and bar. Carlos and Jose are the best

Beautiful grounds, 15 minute walk to town (or easy cab for $100 pesos). Very clean, pools are wonderful. Booking through Expedia was easy and accurate. Only slight annoyance was the pool bar was not attended - you needed to get out of the pool, walk around the outdoor restaurant patrons, and grab someone for drinks.

The breakfast was great, short options but it was all fresh! The heated pool was a bit cold, the jacuzzi pool was much nicer it was warmer than the other pool, overall nice place with pretty good service. Will return for a longer stay next time in the summer

We loved our spacious room overlooking the two pools and Lake Chapala. The beds were comfortable. There is a bar and restaurant steps away - both overlooking the lake and the pools. It is a peaceful retreat for those who may want to recharge and relax.

Nice expansive property with 2 large pools and a hot tub. The breakfast buffet is very good with many options. The restaurant itself has limited food options and a bit pricey. We ordered some guacamole by the pool, it was good and it took a long time to arrive. Rooms are large and comfortable. Very safe area and enclosed hotel

The property is very spacious and the facilities excellent. The pool and hot pool were exceptionally clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking space

Was amazing experience, very peaceful atmosphere with a great view, the private pool was amazing,love the stay,

What I liked: Safety and tranquil atmosphere. The location is gated and has a very calm relaxing vibe. Gorgeous design with beauty all around you. There are several fun activities to do. There is a pool table, a gym, archery practice, and of course, the pool. Atention to detail from housekeeping with decorated towels and linens. White sheets and fuzzy plush blankets for both beds was a nice bonus. Complementary coffee pods with cups and spoons. Microwave available for takeout leftovers. I don’t use these things, but they had Q-tips, makeup remover pads, and a hair dryer. Thoughtful details. The restaurant food is amazing. Stall was helpful and professional.

This place is incredible! Our cabin was perfectly designed, very private, with loads of light and beautiful views, super comfortable huge bed and a terrace with amazing views including the sunset. We loved hanging out by the pool and kayaking on the lake. Staff were very nice.

Beautiful setting in tropical gardens, big pool and spacious very comfortable room (with large sofa, coffee machine etc). Friendly staff. 15mins walk into Ajijic for restaurants and a small town with great character.

the room views, the location, all the open spaces, the greenery, lots of birds . the swimming pool design.

The room with private pool and open space was great

I fell in love with Mandala Thai ! Definitely going to book again !such a beautiful and peaceful place ! Pool was warm and clean always ! great staff . Room was so comfortable and gorgeous .

It was beautiful! It’s perfect for a couples getaway! We loved it, but there was a lot of mosquitoes make sure you pack your repellent:)

I love the private hot tubs and the themes of the rooms; Asia, Africa, etc.

Si tuviera más estrellas más calificacion les daría esta muy bello el lugar!

This hotel was well designed, from the outside it looks like a normal hotel in an urban setting. Then on your way to your room you past the indoor courtyard with a POOL under a tree canopy. This pool is a feature in itself, there is enough room for everyone to have their own little corner. But just in case swimming in a pool is not your thing, having drinks and snacks at this outdoor bar just might be!!

I have been several times in this hotel, I love to stay here when I stay at Guadalajara. The hotel used to be a Crown Plaza, so it has an "old" section more old-style around the pool rooms (beautiful pool area by th way) and a "new" section more business style. The buffette for breakfast is one of the best you can get in a hotel, I would stay there just for the brakfast. The staff is extremely kind and with strong service attitude.

We use this hotel for an international congress and it was a great experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful and attendees were happy with the meeting rooms, coffee break area, social areas (gardens and pool), as well as very happy with the catering. The hotel looks nice, clean, and was up to our expectations for having an international 3 days congress. Our point of contact in the hotel was super kind, and was always happy to support and help us with our needs. They offered us solutions and were flexible with our group. The hotel rooms for our group were nice, and it was very convenient for us to have everything in the same place. Thanks Holiday Inn Guadalajara Expo for making our International Congress experience a great one.

We have enjoyed this hotel since it was The Crown Plaza. We love the new tower, very clean with a great views of Guadalajara. The staff is always friendly and ready to please. Hugo, the concierge, is amazing at providing detailed customer service. Highly recommend a dip in the pool.

The Hotel is very nice and has a parking lot just outside the front entry. It is close walking to the nearby mall that has everything you may need. The hotel is clean has multiple restaurants and a very interesting pool area. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

Our room was nice and cleaned everyday by staff. We started our mornings with breakfast at market Cafe. Adrian and Antonio took great care of us while eating breakfast. We could then walk along the beach for a while. Then up to the room to get ready for the pool. We hung out at the swim up bar pool for hours. Adventuring in to town was easy using Uber. Rides only cost us a few US Dollars. Felt safe everywhere we went. On our list of places to return.

Wow. We stayed a couple nights here looking for a relaxing place to workout, play tennis, sit/drink by the pool, enjoy some good food - and this checked all the boxes. The people and staff here are so kind and wonderful - impressively most are bilingual and english accommodated. We loved the various dining options across both Secrets & Dreams sides - incuding the cafes that serve yummy snacks and drinks. The pools are plenty, clean, beautiful, great places to chill - and the swim up bar is so fun. Through Expedia we got a free upgrade and we couldn't be more grateful for the ocean view & waking up to the sounds of soft waves crashing. The gym is AMAZING - the tennis court was quite fun (interesting texture, immitated clay we think). Thank you for a wonderful stay, relaxing and refreshing. Beautiful luxurious property - Secrets side is calming and spa-like. We are so grateful to your kind staff for treating us so wonderfully!

For the most part, a very relaxing anniversary trip for me and my wife. Alberto the pool-side server was a major highlight, and we were well taken care of by Kemsy/Maria/Wendy at Market Cafe, Saul at Tamarindo, and all the other fantastic wait staff. The pool temperature was a major issue of the trip and was freezing cold until our very last day. We complained to concierge and saw many other guests complaining as well with no action seemingly taken until we had to leave. We booked a swim-out suite and never used it due to how cold it was. Very disappointing for a 5-star resort and likely would not go back for that reason alone. Otherwise, the food and staff were 10/10 and we had a fun trip.

One of the best all-inclusive resorts we've stayed at. We were there with a small group of picky eaters and I don't recall a single person having a bad meal. The food is excellent. Rooms were clean and a nice design. Only two complaints were the frozen drinks in the pool area aren't mixed well and there are no air conditioned bars for the evening...could at least install ceiling fans to move the air. I don't typically like to highlight individuals in my reviews but our group was extremely lucky to meet Alejandro in the pool area as he really took great care of us the entire trip. He is super friendly and gave us some great trip tips throughout the week. Overall experience was very good and we'd recommend Secrets to other travelers. Pros: Very good food, nice rooms, clean, great service, nice gym, and great pool area with options for different patron preferences. Cons: Lack of air conditioning in many general areas, evening entertainment was just so so, frozen drinks at the pool bars are not mixed well.

Just came back from a 5 day trip at this resort and my goodness, we didn't want to leave. Everything was amazing. The service was excellent, I can't say enough. Jonathan and Alejandro at the pool area were incredible!! The staff at Oceana provided wonderful lunch and dinner service, even anticipating our choices as we dined there multiple times! The entertainment crew did dances and activities in the pool area and their overall energy was awesome. Throughout the resort, all the staff are friendly and accommodating. The Himitsu restaurant was our absolute favorite with its Asian menu and Teppenyaki (must make reservations for that....WORTH IT!!). The rooms were perfect, we had the Jr Suite Ocean View room which had a small whirlpool jacuzzi tub in there and we both were able to fit in there. ;) We spent the majority of time at the resort, on purpose, we needed the relaxation. But we did branch out to the Zona Romantica area one night and danced the night away. Only a 10-15 min cab ride. We missed Malecon, drove past it, but it's also close by. Overall, I would highly recommend coming to this resort!

I loved how clean & quiet the adult side was. the pool was absolutely beautiful and peaceful.

We had an incredible stay to finish off our trip in Mexico. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. One person who stood out was Joaquin! During our stay we had a variety of options of where to eat but we found ourselves always wanting to go to the buffet where Joaquin was. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with food and out stay. We will be coming back and are hoping to see him upon our return.

SERVICE, excellent service from the staff. There was not one person that we can complain about.

We have stayed at this hotel for years , absolutely love it

Alejandra was amazing, as well as Paul. We were upgraded, which was a lovely surprise. Our suite status allowed my friend and I access to The Hacienda as well, which was a nice option. The folks working here made it a very nice stay despite some of the food stuff I mention below, which could be unreasonable expectations on my end as I've never stayed at an all-inclusive before.

We enjoyed our experience, we had some difficulty at checkin but it was accommodated with an upgrade to a swim up pool which we greatly appreciated. The breakfast is amazing and the staff is kind and helpful. Great onsite performances and concierge is excellent

We had a suite with a swim out area, and outdoor sitting area with lounge chairs, which we very much enjoyed. The Hacienda is adult only, which we very much enjoyed. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

I didnt like being pushed by every employee there to take a tour and 90 minute sales pitch about them promoting a new hotel and a 10 year plan presentation. I went for a holiday not to be harassed. I wouldnt call the rooms swim out rooms as the indiviual pools are not connected to the main pool which is what i had assumed they meant by a swim out room. The resturants need a bit more variety. The raccoons and iguanas are probably the highlight of the hotel as they are very interesting to see. The bed is extreamly comfortable which is nice. I enjoyed my stay non the less as the hotel is lovely.

Where to start, from the time we walked in, to the time we left, Elizabeth and Paola took excellent care of us. Always checking to make sure everything was great! The staff is amazing as well. From Daniel at the family side of resort, ( pool area), to Cesar, Carlos and the others at the Adult side, bringing us beverages and checking on us all day, to Miguel, Guerado and Salvador in the restaurants taking care of us too. I know I am missing some too, sorry for that. Everyone deserves a shoutout. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We had a swim out room, with a small private pool for us, was really nice. The neat thing about the resort to me was, you can use the whole resort if you want. We stayed on adult side, but were able to enjoy the beach on the family side too. We tried most of the restaurants, which were good. Adult side has a buffet right by the pool. You can grab a plate and sit by the pool still. All in all, we were very happy with the place. Will definitely go back again.

Really nice, relaxing week that went by way too quickly. Our Junior Suite with pool was spacious, quiet and close to the adult pool, breakfast buffet and lunch buffet. Poolside service was attentive and also easy to go directly to swim up bar. A la carte restaurants ranged from underwhelming to great in the same (Steakhouse) restaurant. Some people knocked the food however my wife and I, overall found enough variety to be happy with the menu. We ate at the larger buffet nearer to the beach a couple of times. A couple of standouts for service. Elizabeth at the Conceirge was great at helping with activities, a la carte restaurants and knowledge of the facilities. The other is Emma who served us in both breakfast and lunch buffets. Emma was attentive, friendly and clearly loves what she does. Also went above and beyond by getting me bags of ice, so I could ice my knees poolside and helped us with our Spanish! Both these ladies were hard to say goodbye to and a reason to return. We will keep this property on our list to recommend and to rebook with.

Good stay! Good amenities! Wish there was another option for breakfast daily other than the buffet. Spa was amazing. Alejandro the server at the pool side was the best! He took care of us at our swim up pool all weekend and always found us at the main pool to take care of us as well.

What we did not like was they close the ocean swim up bars at 6pm. Still light and sun sets for 2 1/2 hrs???? WHY Older property but very still nice. Our "OUR Butler Jose was the BEST ever!!! We stayed in all adult Secrets side! All wait staff excellent. But closing the pool bar so early was a buzz killer for everyone. With such beautiful sunsets, why close so early.

This is our second stay at this resort & I would have to say whilst the resort is still very nice it feels a little run down for the price of staying here. We had a junior swim out suite suite & the first room we were given had a faulty sliding door that could not be secured (& looked like it had been like that for some time) & the spa bath inside the room was also broken. The pool temperature was quite cold & hence rarely used. Our mini bar was filled on the day we arrived & only then again on the day before we checked out (we stayed 7 nights) & the food in the restaurants (apart from the food at the Buffet) was pretty disappointing. On the positive side, we had great service from lots of the staff & the NYE event put on by the resort was outstanding.

We went with a large group (20 adults 22 kids). Small to medium size resort. Which worked for us with kids due to a lot of walking from one place to another. Most of us stayed at the Preferred Club, which is a separate building but right next to the main buffet, pool and beach. Advantages of Preferred club is that each room comes with a personal assistant, who you can text and request anything. Has access to somewhat premium drinks on the 2nd floor. Has small lounge area with food items 24hrs, next to the concierge on the ground floor. Overall its great. Food: pretty decent. They try to add variety daily for lunch and dinner. Seevice is pretty good but can be a bit of delay based on how busy it is. But they try their best. Restaurants are good, different items compared to buffett. Must try the seafood restaurant next to the pool, they got fresh catch (red snapper) fried and pork belly tacos are amazing. But everything on the menu was good. Snack bar by the pool has amazing fried fish tacos, plus chicken fingers, hotdogs, burgers, fries, nachos. Pools: well maintained, the waiters are pretty quick with the drinks. Some mixed drinks could be a bit too sweet. But overall good. Beach: okay, nothing compared to Cancun beaches. Although no seaweeds, but tons of rocks which made it difficult for kids and elderly to walk around in the water. But the area outside of the beach is very clean. Activities: kids club, nigh club, and had shows some days. But mostly signing and karaoke.

Love this resort and would definitely come back! Great food at the restaurants ~ we ate at Castaways, Japanese, and Italian. Impeccable service at all with great attention to detail. Plenty of seating around pool (don’t have to go early to reserve spots), pool bar gets a little crowded in the afternoon when all the drinkers are there but a really nice vibe in the morning hours when it’s quieter with relaxing music. So nice to have the Barefoot grill to get food and snacks without having to get dressed and go into a restaurant. They come by frequently to refill drinks, so you are rarely without a cold beverage! Rooms are roomy and clean, beautiful views in front (city) and back (ocean). PV combines my two favorite things, mountains and beach ❤️

We upgraded our room to the Birds love Nest and loved the heated pool and swing. The views were absolutely stunning. You really can't beat this room!

Everything from spacious room, gardens and pool, gorgeous view, great staff and delicious food

The staff, beach, room, pool and food were EXCEPTIONAL!

The attention to detail in the design and development of the property is outstanding and so creative. The hotel is in gorgeous location and has an attentive staff. We liked having some meals brought to our room. Our private swimming pool overlooking the bay was fabulous.

The owner/architect, Kachi has designed both a stunningly gorgeous collection of buildings and their adjacent gardens. So much attention has gone into the facilities but even more importantly into the loving vibe. Every member on the staff is there to serve their guests. Susie, our waitress, surprised us every day. From picking different locations for our dinner table to designing a flower pedal heart on top of our bed. The menu is small but excellent. Felix, their chef is a veteran of first rate restaurants. Everything is very fresh and made from scratch. From the salads to the seafood to the cheesecake, all is beautifully prepared. There is good swimming directly from their dock. Kayaks are provided. Various size free weights are spread around. Well balanced and comfortable hammocks abound. Villa LaLa is a VERY special place.

Loved the location! EVERYONE was so nice. Our poolside server was amazing! Remembered our drinks all day-twice! Service at the rooftop restaurant was awesome!! Betty the massage therapist was the best!!! Room was huge. Private pool was a nice bonus as well.

We felt good value for our money here. We spent most of our time at the infinite pool or beach. My son enjoyed the kids club a couple times as well. We ate at omaggie most of our stay for breakfast. It was buffet. Never tried lemongrass because the hours were in the middle of when we wakted to eat. For lunch we were mostly at the infinity pool, so we would order with our server Paco( Francisco) or get tacos from the taco station. The pool menu had a good selection and great food. We tried several different things from there. Dinner we ate twice at the sister resort and two or three times at insu, amd once at mazzomare. All of the food we had was excellent, except the mexican restaurant at Emotions. It lacked a good selection and wasnt that great in taste. We attempted a show at emotions one night for fiesta night, but we left after 20 minutes. Emotions pool is open way later than distincts. Kids area not that gre Our room was the most basic room of king with a balcony, but it was awesome. It had 2 full bathrooms, washer and dryer, kitchen, dining room table, living room, and seperate bedroom. Staff was all super friendly. They all worked hard to keep the grounds clean and well maintained. We did get approached by our conceirge lady about the membership several times, which annoyed my husband, but after reading reviews it wasnt really a surprise. I warned him. It was a prefect place to have a nice relaxing vacation, even with a five yesr old. We would stay here again.

We liked our room and amenities in general, sleepers would have been a good option. The pools were clean and the service at the pool and beach was excellent. We found the food to be pretty good but the drinks not so much. We had dinner at the Italian restaurant and the food was nice, the service was as bit slow, it felt understaffed. Overall we enjoyed our stay and probably be back.

The low key atmosphere, quiet property, friendly staff, easy assess to poolside lounges & cabanas. The partial private beach was amazing! Plenty of chairs and the beach service was top notch. The pools were always clean free from leaves & debris.

Very different from your usual all inclusive resorts. Do your research. Lots of strict rules. No taking food to go. No buffet. Sit down restaurants only. Annoying sales pitch at check in. Questions like "What do you do for a living"? No getting room key till you get through the pitch. No bottled water anywhere. Have to pay extra for bottled water... Room service is 10% charge. Tough with little kids with no buffet. Asked for ice cream to go at the restaurant by the pool, not allowed. Have to sit down to eat. Ice cream only after 1 pm... No more towels by the beach and infinity pool. They give you some kind of thin blankets to lie on.

The ocean was feet away and the tide pools were amazing.

I was so blown away by my stay. It was a true villa, tile work in the room and all over was just gorgeous and charming looking. Room had a very old school and classy vibe and was comfortable, clean, and open. Right on the beach which was public but felt just secluded enough, with chairs and showers to use. I was living my White Lotus fantasy. All the staff, (shoutout Jerry, Sonia, Ixtel, and the Kitchen ladies and gentlemen) were awesome and accommodating and food was delicious. Great ocean view from the dining room. Good location a half hour walk from Zona Romantica if you're up for it, can be good alternative to taxi. Can catch bus nearby to Boca de Tomatlan and then hike to beautiful beaches. Would definitely come again!

This was such a unique and beautiful property. We were worried we would regret not getting a resort but that was not the case at all. The rooms are huge! The AC was fantastic in the Maria room and the view was just over the top. We felt like we were on our own property. It's such an intimate vibe. The beach is beautiful. You can swim you just have to watch for rocks. If you are trying to dive right in and swim without watching your step, you'll need to walk down a ways. We loved everything. The food was delicious.

Traditional Mexican style and feels like a private house. The open air suite was wonderful to fall asleep to the waves. The balconies (Alejandro) perfect to gaze at the sea and sky and whale watch all times of day. Private beach with beverage and snack service. Daily delicious cooked breakfast al fresco. And the staff was amazing! Easy to get a $5 uber to town or walk there )about 25 min) along the beach.

The property and room (Alejandro) was absolutely breathtaking! As a world traveler, this is one of the most unique, beautiful hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff was friendly, warm, and accommodating. The food was superb. We enjoyed swimming and having breakfast right on the beach. Highly recommend this hotel to solo travelers, couples, and groups of friends for a relaxing, one of a kind experience. Would return again!

The attentive and friendly staff! The food and pool facilities were exceptional.

Great location. Perfect beach. Walk to downtown with lots of tourist shops and restaurants. Restaurants at the resort are all high quality with very nice staff. Bars and pools have great staff that will come to get drink orders all the time. The quality of the drinks is very good.

I loved the room and amenities. I so enjoyed the pool exercises and the staff taught such fun challenging classes. The staff from Carlos to Juan were so amazing. The staff were so sweet and hard working!!

Perfect hotel , excellent service all over., all the employees are very kind and helpful, great food . We enjoyed a lot and we will come again! There were two things that bothered me- the pillows weren’t comfortable and sometimes bad smell in the room

Breakfast at Market cafe was very good. Lots of choices, fresh fruit that was the best I've had in years! The staff was very attentive and always available
