8.2/10 Very Good! (137 reviews)
El servicio del hotel es espectacular. El personal es super amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Estuve por el Ironman 70.3 y lo recomiendo 1000%. Se abrió una cena con opciones para los triatletas y en la madrugada tipo 4:30 am colocaron un desayuno especial para el evento. En ubicación fue excelente muy cerca de la salida y meta del evento. La vista al mar fue increíble hasta pudimos ver delfines y ballenas desde el balcón de la habitación. Totalmente recomendado.

I didn't like the beaches in Puerta Vallarta. The are extremely rocky!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

We hiked to Las Animas beach and took the water taxi back. Took us about 2.5 hours, we weren’t real fast. Great hike and beautiful beaches.
