10/10 Excellent
"This is not a super luxurious resort but is very good. Mostly seems to be a domestic clientele so the food is much more like “home cooking” than other resorts. We liked that. Staff were all really good. Nice village feel in the complex. "

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Puerto Vallarta

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Puerto Vallarta is from September to November, when hotel prices are typically lower. For an enriching experience that allows you to soak in the local culture and history, it's advisable to stay for at least 4 to 5 days. This duration is perfect for exploring key landmarks, enjoying stunning sunsets, and engaging in affordable excursions. Visitors can relish delightful dining options, partake in lively entertainment, and immerse themselves in the vibrant art scene—all while relaxing by the sea. With the potential for prices to drop during these months, it’s a great value for money for those looking to explore this charming destination.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals for hotels in Puerto Vallarta, you might begin by exploring the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you could find discounted rates as your travel date approaches. Enabling email alerts or push notifications may keep you informed about flash sales and exclusive promotions, helping you seize opportunities for savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature on the app acts as a comparison tool, allowing you to assess hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're among the first to know if prices drop or rooms become available for your spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay in a hotel in Puerto Vallarta. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and can occasionally offer better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we will suggest more affordable dates, which may help you secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive; however, with Puerto Vallarta's excellent public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well connected. For those wishing to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often great value to be found.
