If could give this hotel 1,000 stars, I would! The decor was absolutely stunning and reminded us of our favorite places in Puerto Vallarta. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the two fireplaces made for the perfect nightcap and a truly relaxing evening. The staff at the front desk were amazing—friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The amenities were top-notch, including Le Labo shampoo, conditioner, soap, and lotion (the same brand sold at Nordstrom). The view was breathtaking, and to top it all off, there was a record player in the room with our favorite band, Stick Figure, ready to play. It felt like every detail had been thoughtfully curated to create a memorable experience. This will be our one and only spot for future staycations. We can't wait to come back!
