Hotel Basalto

The food was wonderful, I would say the cost is too high for what you get. The water was off overnight and our toilet plugged up.

Hotel Basalto was beautiful!

el hotel es lindo, muy pequeño, la comida es regular, la atención de algunos empleados no es tan buena, sin embargo está muy limpio y tiene una vista hermosa. El gimnasio es terrible y los alrededores del hotel están terribles, no se puede caminar con calma y es complicado encontrar taxis o Uber, ademas los taxis cobran carísimo

It was beautiful. I especially loved to rooftop pool

The only thing I didn’t like about the property is it didn’t have an elevator. I recently had back surgery & the stairs were a lot for me

Really loved staying at Hotel Basalto! Beautiful location, staff, food, and ambiance. We will be back!

Amazing views and amazing staff. Property is off of a dirt road and unless you pre-schedule an uber or car or rent a car, you’re stuck at the hotel. Property could use a good refresh with pretty much everything metal rusting out including the all the gym equipment in their so called gym. And lastly, the lack of a usable beach is tough as well. All in all, quaint hotel, quiet and a different experience if that’s what you’re looking for. Just needs some basic annual maintenance, hopefully a paved road eventually and maybe invest in a golf cart to drive customers down to the closest swimmable beach.

Just what I wanted. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of a resort this is the place. There are beaches within walking distance if you want. But there’s a nice pool at Basalto. Even when it was full it seemed like there was no one there. The restaurant is amazing at reasonable prices. Can’t say enough about this place. If you want to relax this is the place. The town of Punta Mita is a 5 min taxi ride but even that town is not too busy.

We took the suite with sea view which I would honestly recommend to anyone as this is truly the strong point of the hotel and they were better than on the pictures and we were lucky enough to spot plenty of whales from our balcony. Would definitely return! We also booked the tour to Playa Escondida / Islas Marietas with them and it was so much better than with our tours as it was via a local company and we were only in 4 in total.

As others have said, you need a car since this hotel is like 10 min from the city center and the last 800m are on a dirt road (nothing too bad as long as you drive slowly). If we were to be picky, they have a good restaurant offering but for anything beyond the standard menu you will jage to pay on top (like a cappuccino or Nutella spread)… when paying 500-600usd this could honestly be included.
