I stayed at the San marino as a single traveler from May 04 to May 11. This is the second time i have stayed here, the first time was 2 years ago. The first thing I will say is that the food has Improved from the last time, it was still a very basic menu with not alot of flare.... More

Stayed with a few girlfriends, the beds were so hard you could hardly sleep. Safe in the room was not great and the reception clerk never said that you had to keep your receipt to get your deposit back. $10 is $10, and giving the key back wasn't good enough for deposit return. Not cool. So I figured that I... More

Three other friends and I traveled to PV on June 2012, stayed there for three days and we were satisfied with the service we received. Staff was nice, our rooms were clean, beds comfortable enough, food was ok, we had open bar for the three days and all around there are restaurants, convenience stores, pharmacy...

Old Town Puerto Vallarta is where you want to be ad The San Marino Hotel is in the middle of the Action. With the amazing new pier within meters of the hotel. We wanted an Ocean view so we decided to go with the Junior Suite, which was exactly as shown on their website. We got room 603, our room... More

This was the first time we stayed in Downtown Puerto Vallarta instead of a resort in the hotel zone. The location is fantastic. Lots of places in old town you can go explore and eat. We did the all inclusive and for the price we paid it was sufficient. We got our room and were immediately disappointed. The colors they... More

We stayed here all-inclusive from March 15-29, 2013. My partner and I stayed here 2 years ago and had a great time. Not so much this year. The waiters in the restaurant are great, but there aren't enough of them. They are really trying hard, but they can only do so much. As well, the meals were pretty much the... More

Well it isn't for the faint of heart. It's just ok. Upon entering the hotel the lobby looks quite nice and the grounds look nicely kept. If you're placed in the Old Tower that hasn't been renovated since it was built then you are in for a surprise. I would have rather stayed at a motel. We did complain and... More

Recently returned from Puerto Vallarta and our stay at the San Marino. This was our second visit there, the last one being 5 years ago. Not much has changed in that time except for the addition of the beautiful pier just in front of the San Marino. The hotel is older and is in need of a few updates but... More
