The superior rooms are less faded than the standard ones; book ahead for one with an ocean view.

Concierge "You reach its aeries by... riding up with your luggage on a burro. But the solitude, the laid-back vibe, and the hand-crushed strawberries in your daiquiri make it worth all the effort."
Fodor's "Understated luxury and an open-to-nature building design describe this eight-suite boutique property located in a jungle about an hour south of Vallarta." Full review
Frommer's "Verana is a secluded retreat tucked in the hills overlooking sleepy Yelapa, a natural paradise with spectacular views of the tropical landscape and ocean before it." Full review
Gayot "This secluded boutique resort and spa overlooks the Bay of Banderas just south of Puerto Vallarta and can only be reached by boat."
Travel + Leisure "The eco-friendly accommodations are simple, but have everything you need to relax in comfort, and the welcoming staff is on-hand to arrange picnics, mezcal classes, and fishing adventures"
