We stayed at a quaint spot called Nadia Boutique Hotel in DownTown Puerto Vallarta, a few blocks from the Malecon for one night as we waited for the rest of the family to arrive the following day. Location is ideal, location is basically on the beach. You have 75’ and your toes hit sand. The rooms are kitchen w/cooktop, so you can prepare meals if you want, but if not, many places to eat and street vendors a block away. Clean area with a pool on top floor. Note: Request either 3rd/4th floor so you have unobstructive view to the ocean. Rooms are sufficient tor 2 adults, but many sleep 4 so if you are traveling w/young family it can work. Morning breakfast w/fresh fruit, eggs, coffee/juice is included. If traveling to PV and “ocean people”, Nadia has the location. The cost is very reasonable IMO with the location and amenities that are provided and you are basically right on the beach. 24/7 front staff are available.
