"The gardens and grounds are still charming, the pools (with a lazy river) and recreational options are excellent, and the restaurants are hitting on all cylinders." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A handsome 10-acre, beachfront, all-suite hotel built in a horseshoe shape. Impeccably kept, with beautiful marble floors, pastel walls, Huichol art, and Mexican textiles."
Star Service "On the beach, within walking distance of both the marina and 18-hole golf course, this is a classic international tropical resort, capably run and service-oriented." Full review

Because of landscaping, request a room above the third or fourth floor for the best ocean views.

Avoid the San Francisco Suite, just off the entrance.
Fodor's "Each room is unique and elegant at this pricey boutique hotel in the hills five blocks above the malecón." Full review
Frommer's "This renowned boutique hotel has a more formal feel than most Vallarta accommodations... it offers beautiful vistas of the city and Bay of Banderas." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "A Valentine’s Day gift from actor Richard Burton to (final) wife Susan Hunt, Hacienda San Angel retains the romance of that gesture." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Colonial art decorates the secret patios and nooks of this romantic 19-suite hotel." Full review
Michelin Guide "This utterly sumptuous small luxury hotel is made up of five villas with soaring views on a hill above the town."
DK Eyewitness "Three hillside homes were combined to create this sophisticated boutique hotel overlooking the cathedral and bay."
Star Service "This atmospheric bed-and-breakfast puts you in the very heart of residential Puerto Vallarta, overlooking the famous crown of the Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe church." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"This warren of bedrooms, balconies, dipping pools, courtyards and roof terraces is more akin to a Baz Luhrmann film set than a hotel." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "What began as a Valentine’s Day gift is now Hacienda San Angel hotel – a romance-driven boutique hideaway in Puerto Vallarta’s hilly and cobblestoned Old Town (aka la Zona Romántica)." Full review
