Guest Reviews
- Bradley (10/5): - Beautiful place to relax. Very accommodating staff. Helpful and courteous. I will definitely return to Paloma. Loved it!!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Nothing special - Room booked had no hot water, had to move to another room. No window in room & no bedside table. Room was bare bones. Room overall needed updated! Loose toilet seat, no where to set things in bathroom. 2 towels ( shabby) , no hand towel or wash cloth. Pool area locked in evening & early morning. Pool not heated. Lounge chairs needed replaced. No common area to sit unless you went to lobby. Fresh Water for drinking only in lobby. Neighborhood nice. Lots of restaurants, short walk to beach. Staff ok. Restaurant upstairs very nice, decent food & AWESOME view! Overall would not stay here again unless I got nicer, updated room with balcony.
- Sarah (4/5): - No common areas for seating, pool access hours varied each day, a little noisy in the room. Overall an average stay.
- erin (6/5): Extremely poor reservation info with hotels.com. - You need to work with hotels and have them clearly specify when reserving with you when room in an interior room with no outside windows. Shame on you. I have ran into this several times with you. It’s a poor reflection on hotels com. Something so simple that you can’t seem to handle.
- Robert (4/5): - No shampoo, hairdryer, bar fridge, safe, shelves or closet for clothes, no phone, no iron or ironing board. No room service, no bellboy.
- Carla (6/5): - Was very clean, but there was no hot water. It is difficult to enter with lots of luggage, you have to go on the street to enter the front doors. Signage was bad. Had to walk around to find front door. Was very noisy on 4th floor do to restaurant above.
- craig (8/5): Pool area sucks - Nice place in good location. Their pool area is not usable n needs major renovation
- Louis (8/5): - And it has an elevator plus the roof top Italian restaurant is excellent
- Andrew (10/5): Great value for money. Clean and comfortable. - A good hotel in a great location. Off of the main street so minimal traffic noise - something to be said for PV! Very helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms. Large rooms - I had a balcony. Great value for money. I'd stay here again.
- Chantilly2014 (4/5): Great location, really noisy - Loved the location however the hotel is old and needs some upgrading. Between the rooftop restaurant and French Canadians it was very noisy. Cleaning only once a week. Very poorly stocked kitchen, poor towels….I wouldn’t stay there again.
- Lori (8/5): - Central location easy walking distance to malecon or las versailles. Road is cobbled and rough so not easy to cross. Close to main road for transport ie bus but not noisy. Staff is very nice and helpful. Building is authentic mexican vibe, clean and functional. Some rooms have kitchenette for longer stays. If you want an authentic mexican hotel, this would be a good choice. Lots of food options at your doorsstep.
- 868sineads (10/5): Beautiful and great value - Old charming building full of character and maintained well. Beautiful glasswork on the entryway. Great rooftop restaurant and vegan cafe connected to the hotel. Private balconies in all rooms. Strong reliable wifi. A few blocks from the beach.
- Gary (10/5): - Overall, this is a great location in Cinco de Diciembre. We are able to walk to many locations. There is an excellent restaurant with great view on site. Our only complaint was that we never seemed to find the time when shower was warm.
- Todd (4/5): - The toilet leaked providing a water puddle in the bathroom. Then the toilet stopped working
- Mark (8/5): - N/A
- William (4/5): - The room was a bear bones room. there was. only 2 towels no shampoo or other bathroom stuff. 2 Glases no water had to go to the lobby and get it from the dispencer there. Traffic noise was horible and the garbage truk kam every night at 2am to cleanu the trash on the street.
- Keith (2/5): - Check in was horrific .Rude staff. Geo was the check in lady..made it really difficult and we had to pay more for the room .Been coming there for years.. maybe never go back now.
- Mag (10/5): - Lovely room with an ocean view. Very well maintained. Will definitely recommend this place to family and friends!
- Teresa (4/5): - room was like a jail vell, the bathroom was mold everywhere, no hotwater at all, even when the repair guy came..the hotwater still didnt work! Pool needs fixing,
- John (8/5): - A real taste of the culture. Walking distance to the Malecon area and many exquisite restaurants.
- rosemary (10/5): - People location
- Gina (8/5): - Very clean place to stay. It said maid service only once during our 7 night stay but we had someone come daily which was great. Only thing i would recommend is not to stay on the 4th floor...its too noisy when people leave the roof top restaurant. Also, would have liked to have a small fridge as well as a coffee maker in the room.
- Jane (10/5): - Nice old style hotel, spacious, clean and comfortable. Love the area, pool is great and has little kitchenette which is perfect for making simple breakfast at home, no need to go out.
- Jerry (10/5): - Great place to stay. The staff was amazing.
- Joanne (4/5): Disappointed - Really disappointed in this hotel. Absolutely no amenities other than WiFi and parking. No TV, no toiletries, and not even a continental breakfast, had to ask for drinking glasses. I realize this is Mexico so didn’t expect a coffee maker, microwave or fridge. The sewer/urine smell was nauseating (never went away, was continuous). The only positive thing was it was clean. Experienced lovely music from neighbouring restaurant. Given the price was comparable to other hotels, I was hoping for similar amenities. I would not go back.
- Renee (10/5): Nice place! - This little hotel is a great deal for the price! Located just a few minutes walk from the beach, and with lots of great restaurants, street food, and cafes nearby. The building is old and a bit outdated, but bright and cute. It is kept extremely clean and has everything you need. The front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. The only problem I had was the sound from the room next door and from the hallway - if you're a light sleeper be sure to bring earplugs. Otherwise a very nice stay!
- Joselyn (8/5): Lovely, but not "Adults Only" - The hotel is very clean and in a great location. The pool area is lovely as well. The staff, specially Daniel, is wonderful and knowledgable! This is NOT an adults only hotel tho. There were children screaming everywhere at all times of the day.
- Darcy (10/5): Recommended - Excellent deal cost wise, they allowed me to check in early after a particularly bad experience with an airbnb (how to make last minute plans) added bonus to front desk let me check in quite a bit early to accommodate me great stay very comfortable bed friendly staff
- Anamaria (10/5): - Really loved the location and the staff were amazing.
- Alvin (10/5): - The lady at the front desk was great
- Margaret (8/5): - Need tvs and better internet
- Kendra pp (10/5): Extended stay - I extended my visit as the location is excellent for walking. rConvenient and comfortable.
- Kendra pp (8/5): Worth a visit - Stayed for a four day stopover. It is an older Mexican style hotel, a little tired around the edges, location is primo and the price was right.
- Linda (8/5): - The front desk personnel were very helpful.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Overall great stay for a single night. Comfortable king bed, and great water pressure. The AC worked well, as did the WiFi. Convenient location was the selling point for our stay, and should I need a single night awaiting a flight again, I would book. It does need some renovations, but overall great stay.
- Elizabeth (10/5): December 2021 - Amazing location, small and quaint just what we were looking for. A cheap stay that is worth it! Definitely will be coming back.
- serge (6/5): - No TV in any room
- Michael (6/5): - The hotel is in a popular neighborhood with many shops, restaurants. and cafes. A nice beach with amenities is a few blocks away. It is within walking distance to the Malecon and the Romantic Zone. We stayed in an ocean view suite with a kitchenette but we’re told because we were only staying two nights we did not have access to any of the kitchen supplies. Not even a wash cloth or utensils but that we could use the staff kitchen in the lobby to heat up any meals. The room only had the very basics. One towel per person, no shampoos. And you had to leave a $500 peso deposit for the room key and air conditioner control. The rates are double what you would expect to pay for the room type so be aware of this when booking if you are expecting to be able to prepare any meals or have any level of comfort beyond the bare minimums. The plus sides are the location and cleanliness and friendly and helpful staff.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Room was next to entertainment was noisy laud every day
- Verified traveler (2/5): - No me gusto porque me dieron la peor habitacion q tenian apestaba komo si tuviera años cerrada y nadie la abrio ademas nos cambiaron de habitacion y aparte noa cobraron extra estaba un poko mejor la habitacion pero el baño muy cochino. Una persona del hotel solo se dedico a fastidiar nuestra estancia ahi,no es la primera ves q me kedo ahi pero esta fue la peor creo ue no regresaria ahi cuando vuelva de visita a puerto vallarta
- Verified traveler (6/5): - It is old, last century style hotel. Massive iron keys from rooms gives you nostalgia for old times :)) Pros: very good location, very clean (except pool) - cleaning ladies doing great job, polite staff in reception who speak English as well. They gave me ocean view room, as I requested. Cons: Pool is very small, and does not seem clean. Hotel need some renovation. One time elevator was not working (fortunately there are only 4 floors, so not a huge deal). Also, some minimal kitchen appliances would be nice. I stayed in Superior room - there were sink , refrigerator , and small stove there but no coffee machine or even small teapot to make hot water (for tea of coffee) which for me seems strange. If I stay longer I would probably buy some ovenproof dish to make coffee and tea :)
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great service and helpful staff. Room was big, a/c kept room nice and cool. Very close to beach.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great kids had fun at the pool and short walk to the beach and El Malecón
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Hard to sleep a lot of noise... Mucho ruido por las madrugadas Dificil pude Dormir
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location, clean and comfortable!
- Frederick (8/5): - Beds were uncomfortable but really not that important.
- vonnam2019 (10/5): Hotel stay - I have wintered in this hotel for over 10 years and throughout, the quality of my room, the service and amenities have remained excellent. Its location is wonderful for you are within walking distance of everything...shopping, malecon, buses. Front desk staff are always helpful with many speaking English.
- Richard289 (6/5): Older Hotel with Safe Parking and Good Rooftop Restaurant - Paloma Del Mar was of great interest to us because we could call them and confirm by phone that they had secure, off-street parking. The hotel is not modern, but the Wifi, TV and AC all worked well. The hotel was quite economical. The hotel is several blocks north of the end of the malecon and about 5 blocks inland. Shortcomings included the towels - only one bath towel each and no face cloths nor hand towels. I found the mattress uncomfortable. There wasn't a reading lamp on the bedside shelf. The chairs in the room and on the patio were not comforable. The chambermaid did not service our room in the morning, but showed up during siesta, not at all convenient. A number of chicken coops across Honduras from the hotel provided wakeup calls courtesy of roosters, at 5:30AM. My wife said she would be pleased to return to the Paloma Del Mar, as she especially liked the view and the patio. I found the hotel to be uncomfortable.
- A3386FOclaudiab (10/5): Authentic, warm, welcoming - Unless you require the all inclusive resort experience, stay here with the locals, in the heart of the city, 3 blocks from the beach. Our room was clean, spacious and looked out onto the ocean, and we enjoyed hearing an occasional crow from an urban rooster! The staff was kind, sincere and accomodating, inspite of my limited Spanish. The roof top open air restaurant, La Traviata was excellent, as was, Las Menos, across the street. The vegetarian restaurant in the lower level was also wonderful. Glad we had this opportunity to see and experience Mexico!
- Maria (6/5): - It was close to beach, but needed more variety in breakfast choice. It was good that breakfast was included.
- Sandra (8/5): - The hotel is in an older area of town not far from the main street and beach. It is well maintained and consists of 3 buildings with 3 restaurants. The restaurants were all good. They have long stay accommodations (some people have been coming to stay for 20+ years) in addition to hotel rooms. Our room was very well equipped and spacious with a nice, private balcony. Wifi was available in all areas and worked well.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Hotel 10 blocks from the Malecon, AC worked well, bed was very hard and uncomfortable. Had a phone and fridge that did not work.Front desk help unfriendly .Power went off twice and elevator did not work. This hotel needs maintenance and up keep.Would not stay here again
- Jose' (8/5): - It is a rustic, Mexican family oriented older hotel.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Restaurant, overall good
- tewoj10 (10/5): Absolutely Love It!!! - We stayed in this hotel for 2 months in January and February of 2018. We totally loved every second of our stay. It's not like staying in a luxury 5 stars resort but rather like staying with family and friends. Our room was clean, had a small balcony for people watching, king size bed, kitchenette and a bathroom with shower. It had everything we needed for a long stay. We loved going for breakfast and coffee breaks in a downstairs restaurant or for dinner in La Traviata Restaurant located on the rooftop with one of the best views in town. We enjoyed our New Year's party there at the beginning of our stay as well. It is only a couple of blocks from a beach. The staff is bending backwards to please you and after a while they all become a very good friends. We are going back for another amazing stay next year and already missing the hotel and everyone who works there.
- 617ulfj (10/5): Excellent ! - Check in was a bit rough but this wasn't the hotels fault but Booking.com did not communicate very well with the front desk. The staff there handled it very professionally and all was well. When we got into our room it was immaculate along with entire property. We had a large deck looking to the west (ocean side), great shower, full kitchen too. Housekeeping was there every morning and kept it spotless. The entire staff did a outstanding job and all were very friendly and cheerful. There is a restaurant on the roof which was very good and a breakfast place on the first floor also. It was a pleasure to stay here and will be back next year!
- Ck_Dg (8/5): Very well located decent hotel.. - Very good balcony that allows you to ejoy fireworks during the holiday season. It is a very well located hotel 5min away from the beach. The rooftop pool is pretty clean as much as the hotel itself. The service is really good as well. I did not try the rooftop restaurant but the coffee shop downstairs has varied menu for on the go food. Only downside was the stiff mattress but after speaking with other tourists seems like that's the standard in the hotels there..
- Ismael (10/5): Good stay - All was great but the hotel needs to mention that they don’t provide toiletries. We had to go out to the store to get shampoo etc. Beside that, excellent service at the front desk. And housekeeping
- pamandDRJ (8/5): CLOSE TO IT ALL - Our room was clean although not the quietest as it faced the road with roosters across the street and outside lights shining in the sliding glass door. Wonderful restaurant off lobby. Clean pool was available. Walking easily to shopping, Uber readily available. Deep sea fishing is a great attraction, however, snorkeling and scuba are accessible only by boat. Taxis out of airport and over walkway are $25 cheaper.
- travel44jllh (10/5): Mission statement to please - Stayed here for 16 days. Wonderful experience. There are different classes of rooms. The best rooms have a kitchen and their own terrace. These are reserved years in advance. Forget about getting them. The rest have no view . All the rooms are old but clean. Nice towels, tube tvs with lots of English channels, new air conditioners. Average sized cement pool and deck chairs. Very friendly and helpful.Our hallway was cleaned at least 2 times per day. If you are looking for basic clean room with great friendly service, This is the place. If you want a fancy vacation spot, look further. New vegetarian restaurant just opened downstairs. The restaurant upstairs has one of the best views in town. Some reviewers said the meals are hit and miss. Ours was good. It is located near numerous small grocery stores and a large supermarket. There are taco stands all over. Bus stops are near by. This is 3 blocks from the ocean. So you only see the ocean in the distance. They are one of the few hotels that has a mission statement on their website. They practice what they preach.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Room was very dark, unable to read at night. Bed was extremely hard, like sleeping on concrete
- CoachPaulbball (10/5): A delightful experience - I stayed for 2 weeks at the Paloma del Mar and had a delightful experience.This property is located in a lovely neighborhood with very convenient access to public transport,2 seconds walk out the door);terrific dining options,a super market a few blocks away,the beach is less than 10 minutes walk,and whatever else you might need:laundry,barber shop,etc. I stayed one week in room 320,king bed,walk-in shower,cable tv with US channels,ceiling fan,small balcony and a huge veranda,plus a private walk way down to the pool,Wow!I stayed an additional week in room 313,smaller and more cozy with the same facilities and one of the best showers ever. La Traviata is on the top floor and serves an amazing breakfast in addition to Italian classics for dinner.The view is incredible and the service impeccable.The ladies at reception and in reservations are just wonderful people,"can do" people,always ready to help.
- jakev311 (8/5): A true mom and pop with warmth - This place is a GREAT value. If you're looking for an upscale resort, head north and get your credit card card ready. However, if what you're looking for is authentic, friendly, clean, welcoming, close to everything, inexpensive, and real; then you have found the right place. I've stayed in dozens of hotels across Vallarta and was here just last weekend while buying furniture for my new place. The bed was nothing fancy, but was comfortable, the shower was hot, and the door locks were in good shape and functioning (more than I can say for some budget mom & pop hotels in Mx). So in short, if you want to be close to old town, save a few bucks, have a real Mexican experience and be safe, then I would stay here.
- MYB506 (10/5): Don't Let the Look of This Place Fool You - When we arrived at the hotel we thought we made a mistake by the looks of the outside. But once we reached our room we were more than pleased. The hotel is spotless and the rooms are large with balconies and ours had a large kitchen as well. It's only a 5 minute walk to the beach and banks and shopping is all close. The beds and pillows are the best I have found in any hotel. We will be back here again.
- efraing78 (10/5): Outstanding - I have been in many hotels throughout the world, and Paloma del Mar is my favorite. It is not a five-star hotel, but it is a Five-Star in service. My wife and I spent five nights and six days at Paloma Del Mar, and we are looking forward to going back. In this hotel, you meet all your needs. There are comfort and convenience. There is a great Restaurant on the top of the hotel with an open terrace and an amazing view. On the ground floor, there is Mary's Restaurant where we had breakfast and lunch. The food is delicious and healthy, and the stuff is outstanding. It is important to mention that Paloma del Mar is strategically located. There is a swimming pool, the rooms are comfortable, with a fridge, stove and cooking utensils in case you need them. To the management and all the personnel, thank you for kindness, excellent customer service and for making our stay in Puerto Vallarta a special one.
- komuneatbali (10/5): Perfect Hotel for PV - At first it looks less than expectation but what lies within is perfect. The room I had is large. The bed is a king and very comfortable. Cleaned daily and all very nice. Room has fridge and basic cooking facilities so you could have a longer stay. The rate is very good and therefore great value. Recomend highly to stay cannot fault.
- N5342CYchiaras (6/5): A little worn out - We were located in the depandance on the next street, this was really good as it was kind of empty and silent. On the other hand the main buulding was overcrowded, pool full with beer cans and people drinking and eating in the water. (Despite hotel rules) staff was indeed very kind and helpful.
- KarinvK2014 (10/5): Wow just great - Stayed here for 14 days , originally was to be 10, but the effort put in for me to extend my stay was so very nice. Our room was an ocean view ! Room was clean bright , had all the enmities we could need with a little kitchenette. The lovely Owner Adrianna, took a personal interest in each and everyone , always had an interest in your wellbeing ! Lydia and the front desk personal, were amazing in there attention to your questions and needs, and always helped beyond expectations ! The rooms were maintained on rotation which was great , as we were out and about most days ,daily cleaning was no way required ! The Italian restaurant at the top had absolutely fantastic food , and wonderful service but the view will leave a lasting impression ! Especially at night, you could see the pirate ship, and their nightly fireworks, the big ocean liners rolling in, the utterly amazing sunset that would send goose bumps up your spine ! Hopefully on our return visits they will have room for us , as the location was also ideal. Karin
- Carambole7 (8/5): Bijkomen. - Hola Paloma del Mar. Sorry for being so late and respond just now. We stayed in your hotel in apartment 409. From 2nd of may untill 2nd of june. We are from Holanda. Toine and Wies TRIEPELS. Earlier we stayed also in your hotel, in 2009 , in the same period. We want to thank you, all the people and staff , for having a great stay in your hotel. We both had some fysical problems .I was recovering from cancer and my wife had problems with her legs and walking. But.... everybody was very friendly to us. So nice. Also we had a very comfortable apartment. Very clean, quiet and a nice view from the balcony. And of course the elevator. Great. We were so glad we were able to make this trip after a very heavy period. Thank you again for a great vacation. Quizas ? Hasta la Vista?
- mauricioc636 (8/5): Nice surprise! - I was surprised by the quality of the hotel, bc it's located in a kind of run-down area, a few blocks away from the shore. Doesn't look quite attractive from outside, but the rooms are great, with relatively big bathrooms and a small kitchenette with cupboards and a mini stove and a fridge. There's also a pool inside and a restaurant upstairs with free breakfast included (btw, NEVER order a meal with undercooked eggs-- I did it and fell ill for several days) so this place has everything! The best part is the price (500 pesos per night) vs the average of 750 pesos everywhere else. The only "problem" that I found was the that curtain of the windows were kind of transparent, and people coul see you from outside, especially at night with the lights on. Privacy is a big deal for me and hence the 4-star rating. However, I recommend it!
- Tiotom391 (8/5): Comfortable and Friendly - Paloma del Mar met all my expectations for international accommodations with excellent off-season rates and high season service and courtesy. Within sight of world renown resorts along the Malecon, the Pacific Ocean and beaches, the fine shops, it doesn't pretend to deal with VIPs and celebrities. It sits higher up in the city where the Sierras begin to climb to the in the north east. Its neighbours are Mexican bodegas and small taco stands, family dwellings mingling with small businesses, and well-kept unobtrusive condos. The rooms are delightfully appointed, the staff cheerful and effiicient. My balcony faced south west and the high setting offered a fabulous view over the ordinary Mexican rooftops to the ocean, with breathtaking sunsets. There's a rooftop Italian restaurant, La Traviata, and evenings as the sun sets with a fine pasta and good wine were ideal. There's a great little place, El Gran Taco, down Calle Honduras, in the next blox, with a varied menu to enjoy, The alambres with pastor is memorable. The street is busy into the night, but never rowdy. I'll be back whenever I can.
