Not bad for the price in PVR

Hotel Encino is in a good location if the traveler wants to be in the “Centro” and near the shops and restaurants on the “Malecon”. It can be noisy day and night (street noise, loud music, etc.) because of its proximity to av. Vallarta. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, the linens clean. The bathroom needed serious renovations. The pool area is a great asset, but was occasionally crowded. I was only able to get WiFi in the lobby and another guest said the same. The reception and housekeeping personnel were friendly and helpful.

Nosotros habíamos reservado un cuarto de 3camas y al llegar nos dijeron que el cuarto de 3 camas estaba en reparación y solo tenían de dos camas, les dije que yo había hecho mi reservación 2 meses antes, como era eso posible que no tuvieran el cuarto listo, estaba muy molesta, al final me dieron ese cuarto de 3 camas en reparación que olía a pintura fresca y llena de polvo, muy molesta, muy mal por la recepción..

We stayed here for convenience to explore the Malecon/Romantica Zone. For that it was an excellent location! As far as comfort, not really my 3rd choice…wifi does not work well at all, unless you’d like to sit in the lobby as many folks were doing! Did not work in our room, nor on the pool deck. Very sporadic in spots within hotel, and being in Mexico relying on wifi to communicate, made this very frustrating. Thankfully it was only for 2 short nights and we were able to let our family know of our plans! This building has sooo much potential, it really is a beautiful building. The staff were friendly, extra blanet upon request. We did not eat at the rooftop restaurant, nor did we dip in the pool as the loungers were not that clean, and sketchy wifi to boot to hang out in the sun. We chose to go back out instead. Could be just fine for some folks, but sadly, I will find somewhere else next time!

I was disappointed to discover my room had no window or fridge. I chose to spend very little time in my room as it was like a cave. Would not return to this property.

Almost nice, but also meh

First off, the service was excellent. The staff are professional and accommodating. The hotel, however is a bit tired. The doorskins in the bathroom door and wardrobe were broken, peeling back, and just painted over. The crank to open the glass to the pateo was broken off and hanging. There was a centimeter gap where the patio wall was screwed together. Traffic and conversation drifted up at all hours as if there was no divider at all. I'm by know means a light sleeper, but i was woken up by trucks, shouts, construction, and church bells all but one night. In all fairness, i forgot it was holy week, so the bells were far more frequent than would be typical, but the shoddy construction of the divider did nothing to keep out sound. The counterbalance to the experience was the rooftop pool. Stunning view of the hills and water. Excellent lounge space. The rooftop restaurant was excellent with terrific drink specials. I probably won't plan another stay here, but can definitely recommend this hotel for younger travelers in a budget.

Pleasant stay in Vallarta

The hotel was clean and our room was comfortable. The rooftop pool area and the restaurant were very nice! Excellent happy hour! The only downside was the lack of wifi. Only available in the lobby and not always good even there.
