Hotel Vallartasol

Very centralized.

Good energy but BE WARNED. Very much a local standard hotel with serious deficiencies. There are two buildings and the room types vary a lot. I was in the second building just past the pool which has ~12 pool facing rooms on ~3 floors. Here are the problems: Bathroom: The bathroom door is not floor to ceiling but more like a shower door or public toilet stall door. So to be blunt every sound and smell in the bathroom is also in the bedroom. The bathroom has zero exhaust fan or ventilation other than through the door into the room. Shower was mediocre. Aircon: Very loud window-type aircon unit that struggled to cool the room (but eventually did). There seemed to be 2 settings. Off and Max. The first night the noise was constant (which is a good thing). The second night it went on and off I guess as it hit its temperature targets. That's bad because just as you are falling asleep it gets noisy. Window curtain: Not blackout at all. Very little light shielding so early morning the room is fully light. I covered it with a blanket which worked pretty well. Noise: Thick concrete walls and no street exposure so very quiet. BUT half the rooms in the other building face the street so very noisy. On the positive side just felt like hotel california. I'm sure many great days drinking margarits by the pool. The density forces you to interact with other guests. Some rooms have full kitchen terraces facing the pool. You can just feel many great times!!

I'm used to hotels but I've had to come down here sommculh this year that I decided to try some well reviewed budget hotels. This has a hovel, but a pool. Picked a mini shire and hotel tried to put me in a dorm room. Way too expensive for what if offers. No.ingles. No face towels. Beds just okay. Idk where they for outstanding reviews from, but they don't deserve them. I'd rather sleep on the beach. Rooms should be $20-30 usd max.

The location worked out very well for us. The rest of our family was staying at Dreams.

I thought the price of the room was to high given the size of the room and the little bathroom.

We really enjoyed our stay at this sweet hotel. I have seen other reviews say it was a sketchy neighborhood, but I would like to clarify that it is just a working class neighborhood, not a tourist neighborhood. I felt very safe walking around. Lots of great restaurants within walking distance. And easy to catch a taxi to anywhere you need to go. 100 pesos to the airport or old town.

Pool was nice!

Our stay was in April 2025 for 6 nights. A good budget find that's a close 300m walk to the beach, in a decent area. The good: the kitchenette/terrace/balcony in the suite rooms, pool was great, nice to have breakfast available on site, service and staff were good, close to everything we needed. The bad: Wifi in our room was spotty, which is a bit odd since it was great in the lobby and we were directly above one floor and over one room. From a safety perspective, I saw no fire alarm in the room, no peephole in the door, and no handrails to grab on stairs. Beds were mildly uncomfortable due to firmness. For a budget hotel though, it met my expectations. Would I stay here again? Probably.
