"This hotel is one of the nicest in Zona Hotelera, with a stunning lobby ringed by an artificial stream and sitting pretty under a giant palapa (thatched shelter) roof."
"On the north end of hotel row, this hotel draws an eclectic value-seeking crowd with its contemporary, if commercial, styling." Full review

The even-numbered rooms facing north should be avoided, since their former beach and bay view has turned into a view of a neighboring condominiums.

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