Every detail of the property is thoughtfully curated, creating an atmosphere that is both luxurious, warm and welcoming. The service was exceptional. Every staff member went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, consistently checking in and anticipating our needs with genuine warmth and professionalism. Transportation arrangements were seamless and made exploring the area effortless. The food was incredible, and the views were simply breathtaking. The decor throughout the property is stunning, with beautiful artwork, lush plants, and unique design touches around every corner. Every nook and cranny offered something special to discover. The hotel was impeccably clean, and the custom touches made our stay even more memorable--nightly chocolates, filtered water in the rooms, and countless thoughtful details that elevated the entire experience. Hacienda San Angel is more than just a boutique hotel; it is a destination in itself. If you're looking for a romantic, elegant, and unforgettable stay in Puerto Vallarta, this is truly a special place.

I've walked by this property during a prior visit in PV. What caught my attention was the colorful…read morenetting that was covering the courtyard. A beautiful celebration welcoming you to Mexico. Fast forward a couple months later, we're here and trying it out.... First off, location is AMAZING. Literally right in the heart of the Romantic Zone. Everything is literally footsteps and minutes away. You have the beach a few minutes walk down. As well as the well known Los Muertos Pier. Restaurant one after the other next door to you and across the street. Not only that, bars are all walking distance. Either at the corner or half a block away. Even though it's central to everything, it wasn't crazy noisy. Check in was a breeze. We got dropped off with uber. It's a one way street so it made it simple but parking is tricky there if you're driving. Right when you walk in, that's where you'll be greeted with the beautiful color crochet canopy. We arrived early and were offered early check in and late check out with our booking status. Not only that, we were offered two rooms to choose from and to top it off. A beautiful welcoming with a bottle of wine. Property is pretty much lined with plants and flowers surrounding the area. I believe it's three maybe four level. There is a pool, it's small but does the trick for a boutique hotel. Sun lounges around it as well as on an upper deck for sunbathing. There's a massive mango tree that's right in front and does offer fruits which are left out for anyone to take. Check in was a breeze, with the sweet lady that was working. They do have a lock and safe box in front private room. It was 300 peso deposit and you receive it after you return the ticket slip at end of visit. Same as beach towels, believe it was 200 pesos deposit. Room itself, pretty basic as it's a boutique hotel. Affordable which was nice. They had Airbnb similar but this visit we didn't want to have to do everything ourself. Hence a hotel with housekeeping. Big king size bed with a sofa/futon. Bathroom was basic with a shower. Sink was small. It does need some renovation but did the trick. You have complimentary toiletry which was just basic. There wasn't an iron, blow dryer or safe in room. Traditional Hispanic vibes decorated the room. There's of course ac and a small tv mounted to the wall near ceiling. You're able to connect to your streaming channels from your phone. We did have to figure out how to change the language preferences. Overall, rooms do need some updating. Property was beautiful with all the lush plants and flowers. Courtyard with the beautiful colorful canopy and tables outside. Decent pool for lounging, it's not that deep. There's a community fridge and kitchen area. Power did go out for a bit which left the tv unable to come on but we were heading out for the evening. Minor glitch. There is construction a couple doors down but didn't bother us as we were out majority of the day. And a restaurant literally right next door for breakfast and lunch. Would I stay again, yes. It's a nice friendly affordable place. Perfect location for everything. Had all the necessity, safe which can be utilized in private room at the lobby. I'm sure dryer and iron can be brought up to room. But the stay was great.

Pros: * The staff was very nice and friendly…read more Cons: * This hotel is surrounded my buildings and trees and my room had dark furniture and dark green painted walls, so it was very dark and dreary, with very low wattage bulbs. * The TV only got one channel and when I tried to change it or change anything else, got an error message * Loud music playing from somewhere very close every day, sometimes well past midnight, I couldn't sleep * The fridge shelf was broken in half, and the freezer in the fridge didn't get old enough to keep things frozen * The Wifi was spotty at best, it was better outside * Rug runner at foot of bed was filthy, probably never cleaned

They have a nice size pool and bar within a beautiful courtyard with great loungers, tables, and chairs. If there is no one behind the bar they have an honor system that you can write down what you chose. They have everything from non-alcoholic beverages to top shelf, premium spirits. There is a jigger there if you are making yourself some thing so you can be exact on what you took. In the afternoon when there are a few guests enjoying the sun, they do have someone actually coming around to the pool while you are in it asking if you would like anything. They have a Jacuzzi that is available that is right on the river. One just needs to ask them to turn on and give them a half an hour to get it at a perfect temperature. They have a choice of breakfast in the mornings at a fair price. Our room with spectacular, with wonderful rounded tall ceilings, and beautiful stained glass on parts of the top, I believe it was called the countess. If you are looking for a charming, not big hotel feeling this is the place for you. I will stay there when I go to Puerto Vallarta again.

Maybe…read morethat's because I'm basically a cheapskate, so in response, Jamie W found this riverfront boutique hotel on the edge of Zona Romantica for just $64 per night. Such a deal as it was in a quiet residential neighborhood but within easy walking distance to popular restaurants and bars as well as the Malecon. For three nights, we stayed on the second floor in the purple and gray Korvette room which had a comfortable Queen bed and a nice balcony overlooking the river. It was a bucolic woodsy setting with birds chirping and the sporadic rumble of motor scooters below us. The entire hotel was decorated to the hilt with eccentric bric-a-brac that must surely reflect the eclectic taste of the owner. The hotel's homey vibe extended even to the house cat who had its own Victorian brass bed. We took advantage of the complimentary margaritas available upon arrival. The bartender was up on the rooftop terrace on the seventh floor. The sunset view was spectacular, and there was a small lap pool that looked inviting had it been able to accommodate more than one swimming guest at a time. RELATED - Exploring Puerto Vallarta?

We stayed in the spacious Carlotta suite: bedroom with a very comfortable king-size bed, kitchen, large living room and two bathrooms. The hotel's second-floor dining room serves a solid breakfast--sliced fruit, orange juice and mains ranging from huevos rancheros and chilaquiles to pancakes and oatmeal. Bottomless cups of coffee are poured by the friendly staff who double as housekeepers. The seventh floor is home to a pool and bar with great views, and the domain of bartender Jesus who makes a great margarita. I don't know if Señor Rigo is officially the concierge, but he was on top of his game when it came to arranging for taxis and a rental car. We really enjoyed the location, an easy stroll from the beating heart of Zona Romántica with its throngs of people and abundance of street-side 25-peso taco stands, bars and sit-down restaurants. Within a block or two were markets, farmacias, and a laundry that charged 20 pesos a kilo for same-day service. This hotel is best for travelers looking for unique lodging. Tourists will find plenty of high-rise, sanitized hotels elsewhere in PV.

It is modern and stylish, and immaculately maintained.  Located in the romantic zone, An easy (no stairs) walk to the gay beach clubs, and a only a few blocks away from the heart of the gay nightlife area, yet it is secluded and quiet. The owners, Ronnie and David, live next door, and provide extensive concierge services, from dinner and tour recommendations and reservations, and detailed faqs about transportation, money exchange, clubs, spas, and general tips on how to navigate the scene in PV.  And they make note of other lgbtq+ owned and operated establishments, so one can make deliberate choices should you prefer to support the lgbtq+ community.  The pool and hot tub in the center of the property make for an easy and friendly way to meet other guests staying at the hotel. And their Saturday evening private pool party is not to be missed.  I'm already making plans for a return visit.

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta for a wedding, and since…read morethe accommodations were already chosen for us, I didn't read any reviews beforehand. But after seeing some of the mixed feedback now, I was honestly surprised. It seems like this place can be very hit or miss. Thankfully for us, it was definitely a hit. We were there for three nights, and overall had a great experience. Our main complaint would be the food, which we found to be mediocre overall, though there were definitely a couple of standouts. Next time, I'd skip the buffet except for the freshly made stations, which were the only part consistently worth it. We really enjoyed the teppanyaki at Tamari, and the fish and shrimp tacos from Blaze were so good we had them twice during our stay. On the other hand, dinner at Blaze was unremarkable and we were disappointed with the pizza and zeppole from Melanzane, though we didn't get to try anything else there. I do wish we had stayed an extra night or two to explore more of the dining options, though based on what we experienced, we may not have missed out on too much. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. Special shoutout to Rafael at the club lounge bar and Lizbeth at reception - both were a pleasure and made our stay even more enjoyable. I was also surprised by the size of the gym and the variety of equipment. I made sure to get at least one workout in and really appreciated the incredible ocean views while doing so. We visited in February and never felt like the resort was overcrowded. In fact, some restaurants seemed surprisingly empty at times. One thing worth noting: they have pickleball courts and a basketball court, which we didn't see advertised anywhere. We would've packed our pickleball gear had we known, but fortunately they provide equipment you can borrow. They also offer activities throughout the day - we mostly enjoyed the evening bar shows. I'd definitely recommend downloading their app to keep track of the schedule and access other helpful hotel information like menus. Overall, this was a very enjoyable stay and a strong positive experience for us. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because the dining experience didn't quite match the rest of the resort. While the food could be more consistent, the friendly staff, beautiful setting, amenities, and relaxed atmosphere made it a memorable stay.
