Top Downtown Puerto Vallarta Hotel Reviews

Casa Nawalli Puerto Vallarta Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful views, super nice and helpful staff, cozy room! We loved the rooftop pool"

Hotel Encino Malecón Centro Puerto Vallarta

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in Hotel Encino for 2 week and came home yesterday and we didn’t want to leave! The staff were amazing and hard working. The hotel is in the heart of the city and the people. You can walk anywhere from the hotel. The pool and the restaurant upstairs was amazing as well. If you are looking for a fancy resort, this is not the place. This hotel has a nostalgic Mexican feel, no refrigerator or microwave, Just good vibes. Why do you need any of that when everyone around you is cooking all day and night. Everywhere you go, there is food. So if you are going to Mexico expecting American resorts, this place ain’t for you. But if you are someone who likes to explore and doesn’t need to be in the room all day. This hotel is for you. Thank you again to the staff at Hotel Encino, from the front office to the restaurant, you all were amazing. Thank you for letting us practice our Spanish with you. Thank you for smiling faces. Thank you and keep up the good work."

"Having spent years traveling extensively for both business and pleasure, I can confidently say this was one of the finest hotel stays I’ve ever experienced. The service was impeccable—warm, genuine, and delivered with a level of care that made every interaction memorable. The attention to detail throughout the property was extraordinary.

Exceptional hospitality is rare, and this team delivered it effortlessly. I look forward to returning and creating more memories here in the future."
