Hotels near La Vaquita Puerto Vallarta, Puerto Vallarta

We just spent 2 weeks at Hotel Rio. The best location, the best rooms and the best bar and restaurant. Thank you Carlos and the crew at Coexist (Kevin, Niva and Nacho) for our 2 weeks so good. Rooms very nice, we had a corner king with a wrap around balcony. The food and cocktails at the restaurant is top notch. We had breakfast lunch and dinner during our stay and food was very good. You can’t beat the location. Thank you Hotel Rio for such a wonderful vacation. Before we left we made our reservations for February 2025

This is an affordable all-inclusive place to stay with a nice beach for swimming and sitting on the sand. There isn't much shade but you can rent a beach umbrella and chairs. The lobby and buffet are open air so it can get really hot during the warmer months. The food was safe, but unremarkable. There was a good variety of choices everyday and each night at the buffet had a theme, such as Mexican, Seafood night and BBQ to name three. We were there at the beginning of October and the weather was still quite hot and the Air Conditioning in the inside restaurants was not quite strong enough to cool the place down, but the servers were excellent. I was worried before arriving that the hotel would be noisy at night, but they have a night club for the resort across the street for all of the late night partiers making the hotel a quiet place to rest and sleep. However, one of the elevators must have been over something very stinky because most of the time, there was a smell of sewer for a lot of our rides. It was the elevator that was for the rooms on the beach front side of the hotel that went up to the 7th floor. The other elevator in that section only went up to the 6th floor. The rooms were nice and clean and the bed was comfortable. We were on a top floor with roof exposure so our room was never able to cool down below 77 degrees despite the hotel's efforts to fix the AC so I had difficulty sleeping. I understand the lower rooms were nice and cool for sleeping. The maid did a great job keeping our room clean! This is a great place to stay for those who like a busy active beach area. It is centrally located which makes it easy to go into town or access tours. The hotel staff was great. If you want a more relaxing, quieter beach and pool, you will probably need to go elsewhere.

The hotel is very quiet and makes you feel at home. The staff is very kind and pleasant. Always wearing face masks and keeping a safe distance The breakfast is tasty, we appreciated the fruit and the waffles wish they had some coffee or tea also in the evening. The pool area is lovely just wish the water of the pool was bit warmer. The location is very convenient in a beautiful neighbourhood with plenty of amenities within walking distance a church and very close to the airport We will gladly come back in the future. Ohh my only complaint is that they didn’t have more soap we used the one they gave us when we arrived and the they didn’t have anymore in the hotel 🥴

We stayed at Los Arcos Suites which is part of Hotel Los Arcos in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. We stayed from December 6, 2023 to March 27, 2024. The people that work at the hotel are really excellent including: Hilda and Marta, Reservations; Miguel Gradilla, Concierge; Mirella Fragoso, Front Desk; Magda Gomez, Special Events. Other people that were very helpful to us during our stay include Luis, Miguel, Jorge, Adriane (Activity Director). A very special person is Soledad, who looked after keeping our room beautiful and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the Happy Hour (6:00 - 8:00 p.m.) at El Publico Restaurant. We are looking forward to our next visit.

The view from the room is great, whatever. It was great because I could wake up in the morning with the sound of the waves. It is very convenient to enter the sea because you can borrow beach parasols and towels. The price is reasonable, but the restaurant is located at the beach front, so you can also eat and drink beer while entering the sea. I will definitely stay if I go to PV again.

We had a wonderful stay at the bellview in PV. From the friendly and helpful front desk to the attentive waiters in the amazing Capella restaurant, the service was impeccable. Daniella and Chantal in the front office offered a wealth of information and we’re always present to assist us with a smile. Truly appreciated. We were celebrating a birthday and the front desk sent the most delicious chocolate covered strawberries to our room. We also had dinner in the restaurant, and enjoyed the strolling violinists and the delicious food served facing the fabulous view and sunset. One day we had forgotten to turn our “make the room sign” and when we returned late afternoon we wanted to get some fresh towels and within just a few minutes, someone came to refresh our bathroom. The hotel itself is quaint and tastefully appointed with each room having its own charm. Ours had an exceptionally large balcony o overlooking Our lady of Guadalupe church. In addition to being large we enjoyed having a veranda complete with a fountain ( hence the name fuente Milagros) Bedding was firm just the way we like it. Overall a great stay! We would not hesitate to recommend this lovely place.

We visited Puerto Vallarta a few months ago and stayed at the Arcos Suites Hotel. We loved it so much that I decided to book this trip at Dona Susana for my husbands bday. The staff makes you feel so welcomed and attentive to all your needs since this hotel is partnered with los Arcos Hotel and los Arcos Suites. However, our stay at Dona Susana disappointed us. Our room smelled like fresh paint, the bed was so uncomfortable. We barely slept the days we stayed there. I booked a second room to see if our bed was the only one hard to sleep in, but I found out they all are the same. Another issue we had was the use of the pool. I got a skin rush all over my body and my husband got an ear infection after using the pool. I don’t know when was the last time they cleaned it. We opted for the all inclusive at that hotel but it’s useless because you don’t have access to anything there. You have to walk to the other hotel to use the all inclusive benefits. I don’t recommend to get that package unless you stay at the Los Arcos Hotel. The bar at Dona Susana rooftop was closed for no reason given. Overall, would I stay at this hotel again? Yes, only if changes are made for the things we hated because the hotel is well located, the staff are very welcoming, the hotel is nice itself. Otherwise, I would have given it a 5 stars.

The staff made our trip such a memorable and incredible one. While the room we stayed in wasn’t what we’re used to, as it seemed quite run down, we only slept in it and spent our day at the pool and beach. Our housekeeper was incredible and always filled the room with extra water bottles. Manuel, Saul, Miguel, Javier, Victor Hugo (waiter), Oscar, Guadalupe, and Edgar were especially amazing, making our days here brighter. Everyone was truly incredible and they all made my first Mexico trip special. The wifi could have been better, as it was constantly disconnecting throughout the day. The food was decent as well considering the chefs produce a ton for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Overall a beautiful trip!

The staff at the bar were so nice and we got to know each other. They celebrated my birthday. The reception staff and manager were amazing. They have a restaurant right in front which of course it a pay restaurant but it’s great. The staff is also all so great and friendly there. The one that stole my heart was Carole, she works in the bar managing. This was very special being that I celebrated my 50th I will definitely will be back.

This was our second visit to Vamar. Our main reason for returning to Vamar was price. On our previous visit we had a room with a balcony and while we enjoyed the balcony we found the room to be very dark with areas we considered to be dead spaces. Fast forward to this trip. Vamar fit the bill for a relatively economical priced trip, meaning it had to be reasonable in price to eat out most meals and provide a comfortable clean place to sleep. Our room was clean and while lacking in balcony space was bright and quiet. We purchased a cooler from Kiosko along with ice and boom we had a refrigerator. We did enjoy one lunch beachside and found the waitstaff attentive. On the Marina side we enjoyed a few late lunches and again found all the waitstaff to be very attentive and accommodating. We enjoy a glass or two or three of white wine and we never found our glasses to be empty for long. We appreciated again the availability of self service coffee at the Lobby Bar and the baked goods also provided. We enjoyed our ”happy hours” and while seating was not always available in the bar area, we managed to find seating not too far away. Puerto Vallarta in general has so many great restaurants and the Marina is no exception. If you find it in your budget to eat off property and are looking for a smaller hotel than give Vamar a try.
