Nothing

The views and architecture are amazing

It’s a bit of a climb up the hill from downtown but it’s doable.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Everyone working there was great. Daniela and Ricardo greeted us and got us settled in even though we arrived rather early. The room was great and the views fantastic. The restaurant on the premises is top quality.

Exquisitely renovated, this stunning property boasts of historical charm, with modern conveniences. Nestled on the hillside behind the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, each of the 7 rooms in this boutique hotel offer stunning views of both the domed Cathedral and the bay, from the rooms and their expansive balconies. Each room has a different layout, with unique furnishings. There is a strong religious element to the design, with respect to the nearby Cathedral. Overall, it is a charming, calming, luxurious jewel of a property. La Capella, the main restaurant, offers panoramic views of Puerta Vallarta and the bay. The sky is a magical, colorful display each evening, entertaining dinner guests, while the sun is setting. A trio of violinists serenade the diners in the frescoed-ceiling, main dining room, which is open-aired on the ocean side, greatly enhancing the views. This area is used for hotel guests each morning, offering a wide-spread breakfast menu. Reservations for dinner are open to the public and shouldn’t be missed, especially for memorable events. The property is built climbing a hillside and spans several stories, accessed by exterior stairs. This could be challenging, should you have issues, but there are some rooms closer to the restaurant, with fewer stairs. My 77 year old husband noticed his stamina improving daily, due to the exercise. This was our second stay. We greatly yearn to return to a place that has deeply touched our hearts.

Location was perfect, beautiful place to stay

The space, food, and people

Bell ringing at 2:00am

What a very special hotel❣️ 1) The location cannot be beat. Every room has the most fantastic view of the bay with the beautious golden domes of "Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe" in the foreground. The Malacon is just three blocks down the hill and very easy to walk to. 2) The rooms and bathrooms are very spacious and beautifully appointed. So romantic! 3) All the staff were extremely helpful and very charming and kind. 4),Room and linens are spotless and luxurious. 5) Very thoughtful amenities like an iron and ironing board, a sewing kit, a mini fridge, a coffee maker, cups, glasses, silverware and an ice maker were provided in the room. And robes and slippers. They really have thought of anything you could possibly need. 6) We read the disclaimer about the church bells. However, they are muffled at night and their sound is very charming and really not very loud during the day. Also, the rooms have double paned windows and doors. So any extraneous sounds can be completely blocked out just by closing them. 7) The air conditioner was extremely efficient and quiet. And gets extra bonus points for being positioned Away from the bed ...and Not over it. Bedroom and bathroom both had fans to circulate the air in the ten foot ceilings. 8) The other disclaimer, we read was about the steps. However, they are well lit, all have hand rails and feel very easy, sturdy and safe. There really aren't too many and they add greatly to the charm of the hotel. If you can walk at all you will be fine. (not wheelchair accessible) 9) OH, the loveliness of the plantings❣️ we had a giant golden plumeria in full bloom on our patio. There are lovely and well curated plantings and pots all around the hotel. And fresh flowers in the rooms. And birds outside. We woke to little chirping birds every morning, and yellow parrot of some kind and a cheeky blackbird in the plumaria. 10) Breakfast was wonderful and they are very accommodating to fussy people like me who don't eat eggs.

We hated to leave! I

Location and views are excellent. Right in the heart of central PV. We loved everything about our stay. You should know that there are a lot of levels and stairs that you have to take to get to your room. Also, the bell from the church is loud. We knew this prior to booking and we felt it just added to the charm of the place.
