The staff was great. The breakfast was good for this type of hotel.
In the room, there was not Little refrigerator, so for the water it was tough. Because in Puerto Vallarta you need to buy bottle of water. This was not convenient.

The room view was great! The breakfast was also plentiful. The front desk service was excellent. The only downside was that they didn't change the sheets from the previous guests. I booked three rooms, and two of the beds had sand and wrinkles, and also smelled bad! Very disappointing, especially considering the price wasn't cheap!
