"Catering primarily to package tour groups, this venerable 160-room hotel is showing its age but still offers reasonably priced rooms given its beachside location."

The superior rooms are less faded than the standard ones; book ahead for one with an ocean view.

"The gardens and grounds are still charming, the pools (with a lazy river) and recreational options are excellent, and the restaurants are hitting on all cylinders."

DK Eyewitness
"A handsome 10-acre, beachfront, all-suite hotel built in a horseshoe shape. Impeccably kept, with beautiful marble floors, pastel walls, Huichol art, and Mexican textiles."
Star Service
"On the beach, within walking distance of both the marina and 18-hole golf course, this is a classic international tropical resort, capably run and service-oriented."

Because of landscaping, request a room above the third or fourth floor for the best ocean views.

"Puerto Vallarta is typically known as a family-centric destination, but the luxury boutique hotel Casa Velas Puerto Vallarta eschews that notion."
