Really pretty boutique hotel with only 10 rooms. We loved the location of our room, we had a little outdoor space that was nice to sit out and our room was very clean and comfortable. Having breakfast included was amazing. It was made fresh and everyday we had a different meal served with fruit or yogurt. I wish I remembered the name of the sweet server/morning receptionist - she was so nice and friendly! Another great bonus is the free beach umbrella and blanket rental. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed a this lovely, quiet hotel for 11 nights. Beautiful landscaping, refreshing pool, comfortable bed in a very clean room. We stayed in a lower room (Venado) by the pool but 2 upper rooms (Pesica & Gaviota) had better views. A delicious vegetarian, Mexican style breakfast was made fresh daily. The staff Quesay, Gejuan , Esteban & Rumi were wonderful. If you are use to North American amenities in your room be aware there is no T.V., coffee maker, small fridge or hairdryer. They do provide beach umbrellas and mats for the beach about 5 blocks away. I would highly recommend this hotel.

I loved this hotel. The location was perfect, off the main street but a very easy walk to all the restaurants and the beach. The staff was ultra accommodating, especially Rebecca. She made substitutions for my gluten allergy without any fuss.
My room was delightful right off the poolside - I would only suggest they replace the white towels which were very worn. It was quiet and comfortable with excellent water pressure in the shower and sink. They provided all the soaps and hair and body products. I brought in my own water because the filtered water in Mexico didn't taste right to me.
The breakfasts were great, filling, and innovative. A special treat. I highly recommend two particular restaurants - In Hotel Cielo Rojo, only serving dinner on Th-Sun I believe but it was one of the best meals in all of Mexico I had on my two week trip. They make their own tequila! And, Mau the owner of Su Pancho Madre makes a great variety of sopas, and gluten free morning pastries. Plus they sell their killer chile/peanut sauce which I brought back. More on them in another review.
Lastly, do yourself the kindness of patronizing ARA (the pink and white curtains) for an open air beach massage. Ask for Marianna.

My wife and I stayed 5 nights here. 3 in a queen room and 2 in the master suite. Both the rooms were great with the suite of course being better with the larger size and great views all around.
When we arrived we had a male at the front desk who was there a lot of our trip. We don't recall his name but he was skinny and had his hair both up and down at different times. He did not tell us about the time difference issue when we got there and that caused us to miss the pool and breakfast the next day. Our room had small ants/bugs in it and when i went to tell him I had our water container with some in there and he wouldn't believe me about it until he finally saw them. I think he was offended that I would say there were bugs (we saw more of them a few times throughout the stay in the queen room) and from that point on he provided a lack of service. Any time we asked for ice, towels, drinks etc. he was short with us and just unpleasant. He along with the rooster that crowed all night were the worst part of this place.
All that being said, everything else was PERFECT. The rest of the staff (especially the young lady with tattoos on her thighs) were amazing. Very helpful, always smiling and patient with our lack of Spanish. The free breakfast was amazing. Cooked to order, delicious and different each day. The pool (while small) was great as well. Very clean and warm which was good since it is in the shade a lot of the time.
Location was great. We could get to the beach in 10-15 minutes walk. All the great places to eat were on the way. Friendly neighborhood. Close to the school which was cool and not loud at all which I have heard others say. There was a lot of noise from a nearbye rooster and it was bad. I know that is not any fault of the hotel, but it kept us up. They provide ear plugs and even with those we could hear it, haha.
Aside from some noise and mostly because of the one person bad service we loved this place. It is well located, very clean scenic and the breakfast again was awesome.

Our family stay at Hotel Casa San Pacho was outstanding! It’s a beautiful, Indonesian inspired boutique hotel with hand picked decor, lush gardens, a refreshing dipping pool, and the most spectacular homemade breakfasts. The staff is incredibly friendly, they attend quickly to any needs, and the rooms are very comfortable and exquisitely decorated. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit in this quaint little town, also just a short drive to the more energetic town of Sayulita. We would most definitely stay here again!

This quaint, yet upscale hotel has only 9 rooms. They are centered around a small courtyard and pool.
San Pancho is a rustic little, beautiful town, but when yiu e ter Hotel Casa San Pancho, you feel transported somewhere else. It is a private oasis and is just gorgeous. There are jo TVs or Phones in the rooms, a surprise at first, but then we were glad for it.... just obligated relaxation. The full breakfast offerings, cooked from scratch, on site, were such a wonderful surprise. So delicious and started the days off with a smile! The staff is so professional and courteous! We loved this little oasis and will return on our next visit.

We spent 8 nights in the Master Suite and it was the perfect spot for our honeymoon! The room and bathroom were spacious, and the wraparound deck was lovely. The room, deck, and entire hotel were extremely clean. The room has air conditioning and lots of windows for plenty of natural light. The breakfast was delicious, with a different main dish every day. Although I read a lot of reviews that complained about a rooster, we did not have this experience. We could hear roosters that sounded far away, but they were not loud enough to disturb us at all. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay again!

Our favorite accommodation in San Pancho. We have stayed here five times and will return. The property is located a few blocks from the beach on a quiet side street. Built eight years ago, some of the staff have been here since the opening. The pool is heated. There are no TV's in the rooms, which we consider a plus. The breakfasts are delicious as prepared by Maria Chuy each morning. The front desk staff, including Patricia and Rebeca are helpful and accommodating.

This was our third visit to the Hotel Casa San Pancho, and we were as thrilled as ever to be there. Rebecca received us perfectly and warmly. Breakfasts were generous and well prepared, all was clean, the view from the terrace and restaurant is beautiful and relaxing. one can enjoy reading or just relaxing in the receiving area, in the room, or by the pool. It's a 10-minute walk to the beach and through the lovely town. We look forward to returning, probably again and again.

Their beach is small but nice with a few restaurants & bars. Very quiet which is nice. The recycled workshop the other person mentioned is actually a center for children with many activities for them that also includes the recycling program.
There are several good restaurants (see my reviews) and nice shops.
Sayulita is a great little "surfing town" to visit and La Penita to the north of that has a huge flea market certain days of the week.

A taxi from PVR to the hotel costs about $800 pesos, if you take it from the airport it can be more expensive tho. If you're taking a bus from Guadalajara you should get it to La Peñita de Jaltemba and then from there a taxi to San Pancho. La Peñita is just 30 minutes away from San Pancho and the taxi costs $250 pesos.

Ours did not, but I don't think so. You might shoot them an email. They do have a fridge in the main room that you can keep a few things in. It's a fabulous little hotel, we're getting g ready to book again this spring!
There are more places to choose from in the San Francisco area.
