If you would like a clean motel, clean and with a friendly staff, Las Glorias is a good choice. Traveling Mexico by motorcycle, I am always looking for clean, safe, places to stay. Having food and the beach nearby is a huge plus. For me, Las Glorias fit the bill nicely.
My room was spacious and very clean. Sheets were crisp and the entire room was very well cared for. In addition, the staff was super friendly. My Spanish is muy malo, so between me trying to communicate in Spanish, and they in English, we had some great laughs! One of the true joys of traveling!
The staff was also very moto-friendly. They assisted me by providing a ramp so I could pull my large motorcycle into the lobby where I knew it would be safe all night.
The pool, while not heated was wonderful. Keep in mind that when the temps are in the high 80s by day, and the high 70s by night, with 80% humidity, you don't really need a heated pool. Very refreshing to be able to leave my room and just jump in! And there were always ample chances to practice my Spanish, since like many hotels in Puerto Vallarta, you could come in for the day to use the pool for a small fee-so always a happy group of people poolside!
Las Glorias also offers a breakfast buffet for $80MX. For a few dollars US, you could start your day with a pretty good assortment of Mexican breakfast fare. Delicioso!
Initially I had planned on making this just an overnight stop, but I enjoyed the room, staff, and food so much I stayed two extra days. At about $35US per night, I figured the US could wait a couple of extra days!
So, clean, comfy, friendly, close to the good stuff, and a good breakfast….I'll be back!
