My only complaint is the coupons that you have to use to get a continental breakfast. As soon as you let them know that you plan to only use the coupon, they drag their feet and make you wait a long time. Their service is slow and even when you plan an order, they take a long time. I wouldn’t pay for breakfast when making a reservation.

The food was good, the staff where nice, the location was good but there were things that weren’t working in the room and we informed the staff and never fixed (the phone, the lamps, the fan/fan light).
Otherwise ok experience.

The view was amazing, this hotel is right on the beach. It’s an older hotel but well maintained, if you’re planning on exploring the city during your trip it’s perfect. The area is close to the malecón but still quiet. Very family friendly. The included breakfast is small but still good. Service was also great!

It was walking distance to El Malecon Vallarta. The staff was friendly. Safe to walk everywhere, taxies parked in front in case you need trabsportation. Street Tacos around the corner at night were fenominal. Loved the ocean view from our room. Small hotel easy and fast to go up and down the elevator.

The property is nice for the price you're paying. However, don't expect to do too much work online since the internet service is poor, almost nonexistent. The restaurant is decent, but you're better off going off site. Overall, it's a nice place to stay.

The El Pescador is a traditional Mexican hacienda style hotel. It has magnificent views from the beach side rooms, a lovely pool area, and direct access to the beach. They serve a light complimentary breakfast, but there is also a full menu available all day, including happy hour from 5 to 7 pm. The rooms are simple but clean, and the staff is very friendly. The location is great for walking to many delicious taquerías and the famous Malecòn boardwalk. Taxis are also readily available right outside. We would definitely stay again!
