First of all, you should know that El Pescador is not a resort hotel. It is an older building in town close to everything, Shopping, Restaurants, Malecon. The rooms are very clean, the staff friendly. I did not feel any discomfort with security. The greatest thing about this hotel is the VIEW (TO DIE 4)!! We stay in Nuevo Vallarta... More

If you don't want to walk a lot or take a taxi to get to the active Zona Romantica or old town, don't stay here. This hotel is in quiet area a few blocks north of the north end of the Malecon (although occassionally guests can be noisy). There are some good restaurants hidden on side streets not far from...

Friends, if you're the type that likes the sterile surroundings of say, a Hilton, you won't enjoy this hotel. However, if you like waiting a Mexican minute, laughing at the obvious, and like the thought of a million dollar ocean view for less than $60, then this is the place for you. This little gem is 3 blocks from the... More

We stayed at El Pescador for 3 nites in mid January, choose the hotel because of these reviews, the location & the price $70 US incl breakfast. Our expectations were only to have a place to sleep close to town, and a pool to lay around during the day. Pros: close to town, walking distance to many restaurants and night... More

I stayed at El Pescador over the Christmas Weekend and once again am so impressed with this gem on the beach. Since 2005 I have stayed here 7 or 8 times and not once have I had a negative experience. The Staff are friendly and handles every request I have with a smile and patiently suffer through my limited Spanish... More

Friendly staff, clean rooms. Perfect ocean view, and easy access to the beach and all local necessities. Large supermarket with ice, fresh food and an ATM is only a block away, and a Taxi is always waiting at the corner by the supermarket. This hotel is within easy walking distance to the Malecon and main shopping area. No tub, showers... More

We have stayed here several times and the service is consistent. As most of the other people have mentioned it has a very friendly staff and ocean front rooms really are (not just a peak a boo). Breakfast is still included in the rate. This property is owned by the same family that own the Rosita Hotel (opened in 1948)... More

Very basic hotel at a very good location. Staff very friendly and helpful. It's clean and located right in front of the beach. Our AC could not keep up with the heat, but it was nice to sleep with open door, listening to the sound of the waves. The beds are great! Hard, but we loved them. Majority of the... More

This was my first trip to Pto. Vallarta, I have traveled other beaches but never PV. I was glad i did not stay on the Hotel Zone. The view was great, the beach was a quiet area. The thing I did not like was that the bathroom was small, limited amenities and the breakfast included was limited but fine. Over... More
