Ok hotel.
The hotel is rustic/colonial. The room is very big and our room had an amazing view. We did not like that there is a paper that says that the maid would be tipped with $100 or $200 pesos per day so the first day they cleaned the room but we were thinking to leave a tip the day that we leave but maybe maid didn't think same and she didn't clean the room. The person of the room seevice was not friendly maybe he thought we didn't left enough tip. Generally we consider the place is over priced.

The property and staff are outstanding. Literally you could not find any better staff. So helpful and friendly. My only problem is the restaurant at this resort. They will bring you items you never ask for then charge you. The food quality has declined considerably from previous years. The restaurant will pad your bill. They will add extra items. If you order one cup of hot chocolate they will charge you for several. Items you are not happy with they will leave on your tab. The service in the restaurant is very slow. It takes 15 to 20 minutes just to get a beverage. (water)

The place, the room and the beach I love it! Everything it was fantastic and the people very friendly! The only thing nobody told me at the hotel when I arrived was: they’ were remodeling some floors for better but 9:30 am there was a lot of construction noises outside and it was difficult to rest in our room. But next year if they done all the remodeling in the hotel I would love to stay again!

Location is excellent - on the beach, fairly close to town, great service, restaurant food quality is excellent, room service was exceptionally fast. Rooms were authentically decorated and spacious (including a living room and kitchen!) Away from the hustle and bustle of the town, but travel is easy and inexpensive if looking for the city life.

Great place to stay. Bed and L-shaped couch were both comfy to sleep on. A/C worked well, with one unit in the bedroom and one in the living room. Kitchen was well equipped (although I didn't do more than boil water for coffee). Fridge was clean, plates, dishes etc were clean. Bathroom had good tub, nice shower pressure, hot water was ample. Bring your own shampoo. Soap was provided. I didn't use the beach, pool, or restaurant so can't comment on those. The front desk staff is great and I think all spoke English. There's a bus stop less than 5 minutes away, 8 pesos one-way, the bus goes to the edge of the romantic district. Cabs are also always nearby, close to the bus stop and Uber was usually within minutes when needed. I would definitely go back.

Excellent location. At check in, I was disappointed to see we were put on the first floor based on prior reviews. How wrong I was! Not only were these rooms much quieter than the upper floors due the remodel, it was very convenient to be able to open our patio door and have the pool right outside for the kids. This was our second time visiting Lindo Mar and the main reason we wanted to go back was the location and the staff. They are wonderfully accomodating! We went with another family and on our last day we wanted to take one last tour because we had a late flight. Lindo Mar staff not only allowed us a late check of 4pm, they allowed us to return to the room after the tour to shower before our flight home. Stay here, you will not regret it!

little uncomfortable. The cleaning lady outside complained about water being dripped on the floor from the pool to the pool bathroom?? the manager lady in the restaurant was very rude. upon arrival the concierge lady was incredibly rude, and demanding. for some reason all the women there needed training on being polite, friendly, and customer service. The concierge was so rude upon arrival I almost left. I guess they have great difficulty handling any type of position of power.

Absolutely wonderful in every way!
We stayed in this resort for two weeks and will stay here again if we return. We speak next to nothing for Spanish, but had no trouble communicating with staff. The room was kept very clean and polished and it was well supplied in towels, linens, and necessaries. (You do need to supply your own personals like shampoo and conditioner.) Beach towels, beach chairs, loungers, and tables were all supplied around the pool and beach area. These areas were also kept immaculately clean. You can get the best exchange for dollars/pesos right at the front desk. Spanish classes on site too. Location: This was the best part! Lindo Mar sits right on the ocean. All rooms have open balconies that overlook Banderas Bay in a private and quiet setting. You can watch the spectacular sunsets, passing boats, sea birds, and watch the waves crash upon the rock outcroppings. The water is a spectacular blue/green and was a great place to snorkel and view the colorful fish. The bus stop is a few yards from the lobby entrance if you don't want the expense of a taxi. There is also a convenience store nearby as well as another restaurant if you choose not to eat at the one on site. The resort is located so that you can either go north to Mismaloya or south to Puerto Vallarta in only minutes. Anywhere you go in Mexico (including Walmart), get used to being approached by people selling time shares, restaurant promotions, and vendor sales. It wasn't so bad at Lindo Mar. A smile and No Thanks worked well.

This hotel is in a prime location south of the Romantic Zone. Far enough away from the action to be serene and quiet but close enough to jump in a cab and be in the middle of town in minutes. All rooms directly look right over the ocean and small private beach. We never had an issue securing our own private palapa on the beach, no matter what time we arrived at the beach. Pool is small but really not an issue as the ocean water was warm and inviting. Great snorkelling right in front of hotel. Will definitely be returning. NOTE: They are doing an elevator remodel project and there was jack hammerring every day we were there. It was mildly annoying and the only reason I didn't give Lindo Mar 5 stars across the board.

A great experience, the hotel location is great. The property is well kept with super friendly staff.The room was very spacious, with a fantastic view, very clean. The staff is really friendly and the restaurant food is fairly priced and although it is not trendy it is very pleasant. The service was really good and they also offer room service.The beach is rocky but really cute. A great value overall. We truly enjoyed our great balcony.

Rustic charm, but hotel needs a bedroom refresh
Third trip to London Mar, but unless they do a refresh and provide better, newer bedding we won't be back. The hotel has its rustic charm, but the beds feel like they need to be tossed. Not very comfortable. Also, we never had a room on the south side of the hotel so high up which was a blessing and a curse. The corner shire meant stunning views but we were too close to the highway which was kinda loud. Recommend staying on a lower floor on the north side Service overall was good. Service in La Playita is always great. Love the waiters down there, but front desk service was ok. Check in, the guy was rude. Over the course of our stay, the staff were nicer.

Lindo Mar rooms were spacious with great views of the ocean. The rooms have all the amenities you need. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Check-in was smooth, front desk was very nice. The person helping customers was extremely detail oriented and nice. People working in the restaurant are very attentive. The hotel is on the beach -- it can't be better.

Great for our family of five
The condo was very nice and conveniently located. We stayed right when they were in the middle of construction and renovation so it was a bit noisy and had to use stairs sometimes verses the elevator and vice versa. The restaurant staff was excellent and friendly! Food was great and reasonablely priced. The concierge and our maid was very friendly, helpful, and both did an excellent job. I would recommend this condo for anyone with or without kids. Our family of 5 (kids ages 10, 7, and 19 months) will be returning customers!

Small timeshare facility, non-owners not welcome
Went to this resort expecting a great vacation. We were told that our unit (which was pool side) was the only one that had been refurbished. Because of that all owners thought they were welcome to stand and look into our unit. We actually had a couple of different people just walk right in. Not only that but we had no hot water (barely lukewarm) for the whole 8 days that we were staying there. Very small pool area with limited seating.

Great place to stay
We were very happy with the condition of our 2 bedroom condo, the staff and the location. The kitchen supplies were complete, and the rooms were very clean. The front desk staff was always helpful. Elena, the concierge was a gem. She helped us set up some very good excursions. We rented a car from the airport, and while the parking lot is small, hotel staff was always there to help us park and would move our car for us if needed. The beach has some rocky areas where we could do a little snorkeling when the waters were calm, but it seemed dangerous to venture beyond wading most of the time.

too short a time in paradise!
Older crowd, friendly staff and guests. Beautiful view from balcony, we were able to watch the sunset each night. Enjoyed swimming ocean water, and hotel pool. Town was a 5 minute bus ride from hotel, we spent time shopping, drinks on the beach, and lots of new exciting restaurants to try. We spent three nights, four days. We will definitely return to Lindo Mar.
