Beautiful boutique hotel with great views of Puerto Vallarta from our room where we loved to sit on the deck and enjoy our morning coffee offered here. They common area has a wide open floor plan with great views where we enjoyed meeting up with our friends for a game of dominos. The roof top area has lounge chairs where I enjoyed reading after a quick swim literally hanging out of the building overlooking the entire city. Gorgeous set up throughout with great service.
A Perfect Palette for Dining Pleasures
An elegant and charming restaurant with intriguing ambiance. As I anxiously yanked the rope-pull-down-door bell on the big wooden doors welcoming guests, I wondered what "magical charms" lie behind it. The doors opened revealing a palette of warm colors and collection of lines, shapes and contours exciting my sensory pleasures. A muralist, my world is a canvas for my imagination, so I turned my attention to the interior colonial architecture in search of surfaces where I could incorporate my artwork. I was not disappointed. The venue offers a unique dining experience set in an aura of tranquility and nostalgia of past “tinsel town” romances that flourished here. Nestled on the rooftop is a lofty dining scene featuring 180-degree breathtaking views of Banderas Bay, where against the backdrop of moonlight reflections and serenades by a quintessential Mariachi Band, our group enjoyed a wonderful culinary experience. My dish of shrimp brochette over red sauce was perfect. The consensus of our group was the dinner was undeniably the best ever, the service impeccable, attentive and unpretentious. During dinner, however, I inadvertently stained a new linen shirt I had borrowed (because I flunked the dress code). Embarrassing myself, a member of management, rushed to my aid. She whisked me to the side, removed my shirt, sending it to be cleaned and returning it a very short time later cleaned and pressed. Thank you for restoring my pride and preserving my fond memories.
Gracious elegance with breathtaking views. Be swept away by the romanticism of the location's history. Variety of menu items expertly executed. Attentive staff throughout the venue sets the mood.
Loved this hotel! Wonderful location, quiet, high quality bedding and towel. Super clean! The kitchen was handy for making my own coffee. Would definitely return.
Excellent place to stay! Each room has it’s own vibe and they are adding on 10 additional rooms. There is so much detail and wonderful art throughout the property. Breakfast is amazing, try the chilaquiles. Staff are friendly and welcoming. They are helpful with guest needs. We have stayed in the Alejandro suite and it’s has gorgeous views of the city and mountainside with its own private kitchen and sitting room. It’s quite and private. We have also stayed in the Carlotta suite. It has it’s own private entrance on the street behind the main entrance. It’s very spacious with a full kitchen, two baths and a large living room. We look forward to our next stay!
I had a great stay at Joint. The staff members were super friendly and willing to help all the time. The room I stayed was simple and sparkling clean. The bed was big and had nice quality beddings. The wifi in the room was about 20MB. I would stay again when I visit PV!
This was a wonderful hotel! I highly recommend if you're staying in Puerto Vallarta that you check out Garlands del Rio. It is a quaint little unassuming gem. The staff was above and beyond friendly and helpful. We arrived an hr early for check in and instead of telling us to come back, they kindly took our luggage, directed us to the beautiful patio next to the river and gave us yummy margaritas. Once our room was ready, they carried our bags up the stairs for us(no elevator). We had a large private patio overlooking the river below and the room was better than the pictures in my opinion. The room was large and had more than enough storage for however long you plan to stay. The best part of the entire room was, by far, the bathroom. I really can't describe it any better than the pictures posted. Breathtaking! Huge glass windows that opened fully into nature.
Amazing set up with modern amenities and beautiful accommodations. The owners and staff are helpful and friendly. Facility is clean and immaculately maintained. The common court yard with the open air pool and hot tub, as well as the outdoor gym, gives you everything you need for an extended stay and all the opportunity to meet fellow guests. Located on one of the best streets in PV, near bars, restaurants, and stores, its a short walk to the beach. The view at night is breathtakingly insane.
Highly recommended for those looking for cozy loft stay experience, conveniently located in PV! Awesome host, great hospitality. This is our first trip together since COVID19 and it’s all worth it. We got the 2-bed loft, HUGE space, love the high ceiling, the bed was so comfy I had the best sleep ever! Thanks for the welcome beer in the room (great touch). We love the mix of modern contemporary + Mexican flairs, the arts in the room are great. Awesome rooftop area to enjoy the sun ☀️ while enjoying the panoramic view of PV. We will definitely be back
Today I had the pleasure of eating breakfast at Casa Nicole Restaurante. I ordered the classic french toast and the chef's signature egg dish alongside hot coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. Let me tell you what a treat it was! The thick cuts of bread coated with surgery goodness was amazing and the hash browns + eggs with bacon and avocado melted in my mouth! Everything was wonderfully done down to the the ambiance of the newly remodeled Mexican modern space to the incredibly kind and attentive staff. I will be visiting many more times to come!
We were there for dinner only. The menu is a bit limited, but included authentic German selections of food and beer. The atmosphere was pleasant and service good.
The only accept cash or American Express, which was a bit of a surprise, considering few establishments in Puerto Vallarta accept AmEx, preferring Visa or Master Card.
I loved this quaint small hotel. The staff is friendly, offering an old style charm.
If are looking for the Ritz, you should stay there. If you want clean, friendly service Casa Susana is the place.
This was my first time staying at Casa Maria, I really enjoyed my stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. Even prior to my arrival, I had few questions that were answer quickly through email. The entire hotel has a really cute and inviting decor. I love the idea of having a mid size fridge and microwave on the room, which made easy to keep snacks on the room. The room came with a safe as well.. The pool are was always clean. And the hotel is located just a few steps from the main street, a block from the beach. I will definitely come back and stay here
An excellent place for a perfect time with fam.or friends. The view and the food an incredible experience. Service staff and owner the very,vey best..A must to visit !!!
I will return soon.

Palacio 199 was amazing. Our host Claudia (hope the spelling is correct) was incredible - welcoming, friendly and an expert with local information. Each morning we were presented with delicious breakfasts, smiles and jovial conversations - an absolute delight. Didn’t want to leave! Very sad to say goodbye to such a wonderful host/accommodation. THANK YOU! Rosie and Linda from Melbourne/Sydney.
Just an all around wonderful quirky hotel with incredible staff who will know what you want before you do. We loved our private hot tub and pool (we stayed in the penthouse suite but all rooms looked like they had their own unique awesome touches. The owner greeted us personally and is often on site socializing with his team and his regular customers. I can’t wait to try it under non-pandemic circumstances. It was a truly unique stay, I loved the hotel pool, I loved that it was clothing optional though I chose to stay clothed (and masked). The dancers were a fun touch to the pool. My one complaint was hot water for the shower. Two complaints - the stove took 30 minutes to boil water - so all my complaints are hot eater related. Otherwise loved it all. Definitely will go back - we were interested in a private pool more than shenanigans, but I get the feeling there are definitely awesome shenanigans here. And we had a couples spa day for under US 300 for both - massages, facials, body wraps in our suite. It was one of my favorite vacation days of all time.
