Riviera Nayarit: pousadas

I had a lovely time staying with Guillermo and his wife. They are very kind and generous. I was nervous about visiting Puerto Vallarta alone as a solo female traveller, but I felt absolutely safe with them. Guillermo also had helpful advice for travelling.

Willy was such a great and kind host. He warmly welcomed me on my arrival and very responsive with his communication. He gave me helpful advice and tips. I got injured and he responded right away with a first aid kit. I enjoyed my stay, the place is close to everything and I love unwinding in the balcony at night. Gracias Willy!

Lauri was responsive and can be easily contacted if any questions arise. Check in went smoothly, Lauri met with me in the lobby and had the amazing staff explain all rules and regulations; including the amenities that I can access while staying there. The unit; mind boggling, looks so amazing, luxurious; and Lauri was right, you don’t have to bring anything just your personal items. They provided amenities ranging from towels, beach towels, robes, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, even a sun hat you name it they got it. Their Roof Garden/Pool has an incredible view of the area, it is absolutely mind blowing. The area itself is perfect as it is surrounded by restaurants, shops, markets, and of course the beach which was 2 blocks away. But don’t just take my word for it, you should see it. Thank you to Lauri and Roland for an amazing stay. Looking forward for my next stay there! ❤️

Oscar is a wonderful host and person. He was responsive to all of our requests. The house is beautiful and spacious, the beds are wonderful! You can tell he has put a lot of work into making it a great place to stay, such as great linens, the kitchen is great. Lots of new appliances like toaster oven, blender, pots and pans. From other stays in Puerto Vallarta I can tell you this is a gem home! Lots of shopping near by, Costco and LaComer. I can’t think of anything negative to say or suggestions to make it better. I encourage everyone to check it out. Bravo to Oscar who is now a friend. Due to his limited English Oscar has a good friend who will help you communicate with him, Maria was so helpful and kind.

I really enjoyed staying at Guillermo and Veronica's place for a few days. They were very hospitable. I really appreciated the lovely breakfasts they prepared - different every day. I happened to be there for New Year's Eve, and they invited all of us guests to join them for a New Year's dinner. With family, friends and guests there were over 20 people for dinner, and it was delicious. We then watched the fireworks together from the roof - Guillermo and his family's hospitality went above and beyond. The property itself is older, however they have made very nice improvements with electric door locks, A/C in the rooms, and flat screen TV's. My room was basic but very comfortable. I was very impressed with the hot water and water pressure (very good for Mexico). The street outside is very busy and can be noisy, but that's par for the course in Puerto Vallarta (earplugs helped me sleep like a baby). Overall I was very impressed and would be happy to go back.

Lugar muy tranquilo y agradable, cuentan con mascotas que son muy dóciles y conviven muy bien con la gente. Un hostal cómodo, la cocina es pequeña pero tiene lo necesario para cocinar algo sencillo, en los alrededores hay súper y tiendita para lo que necesites.

Nice pool, friendly hosts, a lot of places to eat nearby, the beach is just 1 or 2 minutes from walking distance. Very much worth your money. Bring yourself a beach umbrella, you will want to use one when at the rooftop, and also at the beach. Other hotels charge you insane rates because of location or amenities offered, but Villa Mercedes is better located than many other popular places like PiñataPV or Posada de Roger, while being cheaper. I felt like the owners here are honest people, not trying to take advantage of tourists. Just give it a try, I did.

This is an old school original Puerto Vallarta building with three units - one facing Uritiba street on the ground floor, then a door with stairs up from Caranza street to the other two units. One is 2nd floor (note you wont see or hear from either ground or first floor units) , and the rental is on the top two floors that is Rogers B&B. The views and breeze are amazing, and both bedrooms have air conditioning. We were just two people so spent all of our time on the top floor (bed, bath, living area). Evelyn is a local who comes to the unit on the mornings you request and makes a lovely breakfast that is included. It is a great place. Be mindful it is the hill area of PV, and step hill up from the beach so lots of stairs. The internal circular stairs from kitchen level up to bedroom / living room area are pretty tight not be good for people with mobility issues or small children. Micheal was a great host and Evelyn has worked for the family for 16 years and is amazing.
