We went in the summer, super quiet and peaceful and safe. If you like something non commercial this is the place to go. Better if you like animals and speak a little Spanish. And most important bring cash money there are no ATM machines, Lagunita restaurant take credit cards. Very nice place😊
We enjoyed our two quiet days literally steps from the beach at Yelalpa. Beautiful sunsets and mornings and warm nights. Water was very clear and inviting, especially in the morning. Very rustic accommodations that were fine if your okay with roughing it (we are) once in a while. Cabanas could use some updates, but if you want the slow pace of the "old Mexico" coast, this is your place. Sadly, the off the beach areas were less than ideal. Trash everywhere, strong (bad) smells and generally unkept. But, that's the old Mexico, like it or not. Beach had some trash, but not much different than other beaches near PV. We had fun!

Le falta bastante mantenimiento en general al hitel como a las habitaciones.
La supuesta encargada citlali no hace nada oara arreglar los problema y se burla de los huespwdes. Un dia completo se fue la luz y ni siquiera una vela ogrecieron de verdad q deja mucho q desear la actitud de citlali como encargada ya que no da el ancho para cubrir su su puesto
What a magical place. RIGHT on the beach in palapas that open onto the sand and waves. Don't come expecting luxury, but if you are truly looking to get away and experience beach life this is the place.
We loved the location of this quaint hotel. We had a beach front palapa. The beach was gorgeous! Listening to the surf from our palapa at night was amazing.
The food at hotel restaurant on the beach was delicious , and the staff were friendly and accommodating. They served a delicious made to order breakfast and fresh seafood for dinner. This is a definite return for us. We spent two nights in Yelapa while on a two week trip to Puerto Vallarta. Took a water taxi from the main pier in Puerto Vallarta, and the hotel was easy to find. The only hotel directly on the beach.

This was a quaint little older resort, the rooms are very bare bones, the beds were very hard and it’s right on the water so the waves crashing on the rocks was extremely loud through the night. The restaurant was very good though

Precioso lugar
Hotel agradable frente a la playa y gente muy amable. Necesité otra habitacion y pagué en mostrados y salió 400 pesos mas barata la noche que lo que expedia me cobró. Revisa directo con el hotel primero
Ces bungalows sur la plage sont délabrés , les murs faits de bambous offrent des trous géants , les toits de paille ou feuilles de palmes sont à refaire .La salle de bains et les toilettes sont à rénover . Et la propreté est largement à revoir . Immense déception en rentrant dans ce lieu sale et inconfortable après 14h de vol .
Si le concept est à retenir , bungalows sur la plage , ces derniers ne sont plus habitables . Je m’attendais à trouver un lieu tranquille , mais il est envahi de vendeurs de plage et aussi de chiens , avec tous les aléas que cela entraîne ( nombreux excréments sur la plage ).
Le restaurant , le seul ouvert jusqu’à 21h30 , est correct et le personnel est accueillant et souriant .
On a dû trouver un autre hébergement confortable sur place .
Lagunita , à éviter !
No hot water in the shower after the 2nd night. Don’t drink the blended drinks 😵

We arrived on last boat in. When we checked in no one escorted us in the dark to our bungalow....path was difficult to navigate with luggage and no flash light. Wanted to eat dinner in their restaurant which closed early that evening. Spent first day on the beach. Wait staff was not attentive to refilling drinks etc.

Rustic hotel on the beach.
I would definitely go again. Our room was on the beach, though others were set back a little with ocean views. The town is wonderful, the food was delicious, and the relaxed and welcoming feeling was great. It is a rustic place (there's only been electricity for 13 years). I didn't find an atm and few places accept credit cards. Hotel Lagunita does though. And the restaurant and beach side service were really nice. The jungle is right behind the hotel! Lots to see. The downside is it was loud at night between barking dogs and insect; earplugs helped! Birding, whale watching, and much more.

We were told to wait when we tried to check in because our room was being cleaned . We checked in hours later to a room that had dirt and debris in both beds and in the shower . A beer can ashtray / candleholder? We changed rooms and although bed was free of debris we saw the shoulder high ledge shelf was absolutely thick with grime . The fan didn't work switched it out for another one that didn't work
Ugh .
On the plus side most gorgeous views ever !!!! Right on the beach . Super nice restaurant staff and reasonable food great drinks . Pool was also lovely .
Made the best of it . Was hardly in the room

Stayed just one night in this beautiful little cove. The rooms/cabins are quaint and functional. Very clean. The views are exceptional! The not full stars is for no AC and no refrigerator. They really can't have AC with the construction so nothing against the hotel. Thankful for the mosquito nets over the beds :) will definitely stay again if we're in the area

Yelapa is paradise.
By far one of the most amazing places ever. The beach is rigth outside your doorstep and sleeping to the sound of the crashing waves was magical.
The room is not luxurious, its like glamping. Super cute and perfect for our experience.
