Love staying at hotel Encino malecon. Have been going for 4 years. They have really done a fabulous job of the the pool area with the tiling and nice loungers and tables and umbrellas.
Basic. Fine. Good location. Nice pool area. Enjoy my stays here. An upgrade for beds and bedding would bring it up a notch. I would not hesitate to stay again
Great location, I live the Mexican charm but not for everyone, pool on rooftop is lovely with a good restaurant, bring earplugs because it can be loud in the building with people coming and going, had a great stay for my well in PV
Adequately meet our needs. Wonderful location. Very comfortable bed. Staff was efficient.

Disliked: Amenities
Had problems with leaky toilet but got moved to another room. Only 2 bath towels in the room...no face cloths or hand towels supplied. Front desk staff were helpful and friendly. Nice to have a restaurant with bar on site. Within walking distance to shops a d restaurants.
Place had lots of history , but super clean .friendly staff , can’t beat the location . Close to all the fun night life you can handle within walking distance , the Malecon is just around the corner too . Definitely will be back
It’s an older Mexican style Hotel with a nice courtyard and a nice rooftop swimming pool adjacent to a lounging area on the roof.
It’s in walking distance to Centro and Zona Romantica which is fantastic.
We stayed for 4 weeks and the roof service is great.
We had a room with a little balcony looking towards the ocean which we very much enjoyed.
Since the hotel is right at the car bridge it can be noisy at times.
I would recommend the place considering the price it costs.
