Hotel Basalto

Muy buena ubicacion por la vistas y el desayuno también bastante completo y bueno

horarios de comida y servicios

La vista y poca ocupación.

La habitación estaba limpia, pero encontré atrás de una de las camas un papel higiénico con sangre. Lastima. El hotel tiene elevado el precio para lo que ofrece.

La vistas, pocas personas, porque es un poco pequeño e intimo el hotel, pero muy cómodo y bonito. Puedes accesar a varias playas y la llegada es muy fácil. El mapa T lleva sin problema, en general muy contento.

Todo exelente!

The staff is extremely nice, with a very qualitative service. The restaurant in particular we did not expect such amazing food. Rooms are great and clean. We stayed one night there as a bridge as we were flying out early the next morning. It did the job perfectly.

Maybe a bit over pricy for what it is. Also not super well located, a bit isolated with a difficult road to access.

Breakfast was awesome. Food was amazing. Service was outstanding. Our spa services were amazing.

All was great.

La atención y las habitaciones son increibles la comida es buena

We loved everything about our stay. Great location, super friendly staff, great food, thank you, hotel Basalto, we really enjoyed our stay!

Ah well! Hotel Basalto reminds me of a favourite spot in Cornwall UK. Superb location, unbelievable views of uninterrupted coastline to the left & right. Just hits the spot! Hot (bodyboarding) surf if you hit the beach! Added bonus - heated roof top pool

Possibly a change of menu if staying for a longer period. However, the meals & breakfast were great, served beautifully by great conscientious staff!

We had the most amazing experience this February at Hotel Basalto. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel completely at home, and they continued to take exceptional care of us throughout our nine-day stay. This is a charming, intimate boutique hotel with a calm and beautiful atmosphere — perfect for a relaxing getaway. We were there with our family, and it was absolutely ideal. The hotel is beautifully located just steps from the beach and offers two lovely pools, which gave us great options for both quiet relaxation and family time. The food is truly outstanding. We enjoyed every single meal — breakfast each morning, delicious dinners, and wonderful lunches by the pool. The tacos are a must, the salads are fresh and flavorful, and the poolside drinks were fantastic. Everything was consistently excellent. What truly sets Hotel Basalto apart is the staff. From the hotel manager to the reception team, the housekeeping staff, and restaurant team — every single person was warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our stay perfect. They anticipated our needs and went above and beyond in every way. The spa is also amazing — such a peaceful, restorative experience that added to the overall sense of relaxation. If you’re looking for a calm, beautiful, and highly personalized experience, I cannot recommend Hotel Basalto enough. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already wanting to return.

Exceptional location, lux hotel with boutique vibe. The rooftop pool and views are epic and since it’s a small hotel it feels like you have a private beach front home to yourself. Add the roof top bar and food service, with the happy and friendly staff, you’ve got a great combo to enjoy the best of Mexico. We spend many hours watching whale migrate north from the roof top and our balcony. It was very Special. The hotel kitchen is great for breakfast , lunch and dinner. And when you wanted something different you could just walk down the beach to El Barracuda restaurant for another beach vibe.

I can’t think of anything. We got stuck in mexico for extra days because the airport shut down so we spent an additional 4 nights here, and we had no complaints noting we are a family of 4.

The complimentary breakfast was excellent and filling. The location is great.

Rough country road from the highway to the hotel. It was about 1/4 mile.

They were absolutely fantastic and accommodating. Most beautiful property. Choco, the manager, was the warmest and kindest. Juan Carlos was so fantastic as well. Will be recommending this property to all my friends!

La vista, la alberca.

Relación calidad-precio

La habitación era muy grande, bonita y cómoda. Las instalaciones buenas y al desayuno muy bueno

El precio por vistas “a la selva” es un poco decepcionante

Ocean view was amazing - the daily viewings of humpback whales in the bay really helped! We also really liked that this hotel is independently owned, the beach is nice and sparsely populated, and the on-site amenities were splendid.

It was on the expensive side and, since we didn’t have a car, we were a little limited in where we could go. Having access to bikes helped!

La vista que tiene es espectacular, el personal es muy amable y los desayunos estuvieron muy ricos, te prestan sombrilla, cañas de pescar, tablas, etc. para disfrutar la playa, los cuartos son muy amplios y cómodos.

No hay elevador. La cama es muy blanda y en lo personal prefiero camas más rígidas.

Staff service and the bed was really comfortable

The gym is mega small with nothing on it really

La comida y las habitaciones.

No hay elevador. No hay pie de playa.

Adjectives fail me. Hotel Basalto was spectacular and a much-needed respite. The food on site was tremendous. We took many meals at the restaurant during a week spent recharging in each other’s company. The staff were welcoming and on their game. The rooftop pool with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean is paradise. If you’re looking to get away from it all the Riviera Nayarit is a world-class destination, and Hotel Basalto is an exemplary facility there to take advantage of the weather and enjoy some time away from the rat race.

Todo bien

El trato de las personas que atienden el hotel. Un excelente servicio totalmente personalizado

Nada, todo estuvo perfecto. Solamente es posible que proteger un poco la zona del roof del sol podría hacerlo más amable

Excelente hotel

la comida , el restaurante delicioso y la vista espectacular desde la alberca

Todo perfecto

The property itself is very nice, the room was big and well designed / furnished. Same with the common areas

Nothing all amazing

El hotel está divino y el servicio y el restaurante espectaculares Hay una playa súper cerca caminando q está increíble Lo super recomiendo

If you're looking for your own private oasis in Cancún, Hotel Basalto is it. This boutique hotel only has a handful of rooms, which means peace, privacy, and truly personalized hospitality. We booked the Ocean Suite and wow — the views were absolutely breathtaking. Waking up to the turquoise sea right outside your window? Unmatched. Every detail in the room felt meticulously designed, from the high-end finishes to the cozy layout. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down, breathe deep, and feel grounded. One of the biggest highlights was the walkability to a secluded beach. Just a few steps away, and you’re on soft sand with barely anyone around. It felt like our own slice of paradise. And the food? Every single day was a gourmet experience. Think fresh prawn pasta, juicy steaks, wood-fired pizzas, and so much more — all at a very reasonable price. The rooftop pool was stunning. We spent every sunset up there soaking in the view and sipping cocktails. Absolute magic. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel like we were coming home every time we walked in. Hotel Basalto isn’t just a stay — it’s a vibe. A secret sanctuary you almost don’t want to share. But they’ve earned the praise. We’ll be back.

This property is for people who want a gorgeous setting, comfortable room, amazing staff and a beautiful and quiet stay. One of my favorite places I have ever stayed! We will be back soon!

Everything Location Staff Food Room

Nothing

The property pictures online make this hotel look amazing and in some instances, the pictures match reality.

This hotel has ten rooms so you will have as much peace and quiet as you desire. The beach is small and private,with access at low tide to another beach very close by. The room was large and well appointed and fulfilled all of our needs. The on-site dining was very well done with many delicious choices. The one thing you will want to be aware of is it is secluded from many day or night time activities so plan on Uber or taxis to get you to livelier surroundings.

Hotel Basalto was such a special delight! Set on top of a beautiful overlook, you have unobstructed views of the ocean and lovely breezes all day and night. Its very quiet and peaceful and has all the comforts you need to not leave it for a few days - if that's your thing. If not, the public beach is a half mile walk away and the town of Punta de Mita is a quick 10 min or less cab ride. The staff is wonderful - so helpful, warm and kind. We had in room massages that were amazing and everything was effortless and taken care of for us upon arrival. We stayed in the King Suite ocean view and it was incredible! The hotel is spotless and a lot of care goes into making sure guests have a great experience. I have seen some reviews here complaining about some areas needing upkeep (i.e. rusting metal, warped wood, etc.) But when you feel the % humidity in the air and the sea water spray, you see its not from lack of property care but simply the elements. Now onto the food at the on-site restaurant, Roca Negra. FANTASTIC! Everything is so fresh and prepared by highly skilled chefs who deeply care about making wonderful food! Breakfast is included and starts with a lovely fruit plate and yoghurt, followed by a main plate. Dinner and lunch are fantastic too! A smaller menu, but still lots of options to choose from. The service was wonderful all around. Our gratitude to the entire staff at Basalto for a memorable, deeply relaxing getaway for two tired parents!

Sin lugar a dudas, uno de mis hoteles favoritos

We loved our stay here. The staff was so accommodating and nice. And the menu options were amazing.

El hotel está lindo, limpio, la comida en general regular, algunos platillos mejor que otros. Es un hotel para descansar.. si van en plan de divertirse este no es el hotel, la alberca del Roof está climatizada lo cual está super bien, sin embargo, no puedes hacer ruido de más porque enseguida te restringen. Su playa es muy muy pequeña. La atención del personal deja mucho que desear, para el costo del hotel esperábamos una atención más personalizada, lo cual no ocurrió en ningún momento. Las toallas ya están demasiado gastadas. A 5-10 min caminando está la playa más cercana, la cual está espectacular, HERMOSA ahí hay dos restaurantes bastantes ricos ambos, te rentan el camastro y puedes estar ahí todo el día muy agusto.

Perfect hotel, especially if you want to “get away from it all”. Highly recommend booking a room with an ocean view- worth every penny. Great onsite restaurant and spa services- very reasonably priced too. Super friendly and helpful staff. We had a wonderful stay!!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Felt very small and guest oriented.

Muy caro para el lugar, el acceso terracería, a lo cual se me hizo pésimo El hotel no tiene playa En realidad, fue una sorpresa desagradable

Hotel tranquilo y bonito, buena comida Buen servicio ! Solo que no tiene elevador

Quiet, romantic property, very nice room with ocean view, nicely appointed. Friendly, helpful staff. Great massage. Cute quiet beach. The food was beautifully plated, good but not quite great. Perfect for laidback relaxation.

The room, staff, food, hotel facilities… could not have been better.

It is rather isolated which worked for us but might not for all. Taxis are needed to go to places of interest.

We love how this boutique hotel is in a quieter section of the greater Puerto Vallerta area. On a dirt road that keeps things a bit more mellow, this small hotel has an excellent farm and sea to table cuisine. The staff are authentically kind and attentive. We feel like come home to a true retreat and our nervous systems can reset after busy schedules and stimulus. We love walking up the stairs to a quiet room facing the sea.

Nothing this fits with our needs of quiet, comfort and kindness.

Hotel Basalto is a little slice of heaven in Mexico! Beautifully maintained, clean, so comfortable and our room was exceptional and spacious. The staff goes above and beyond to meet your needs and Gary the bartender makes the best drinks in town! The food is beyond great, we had 3 meals a day for 2 days and every meal was exceptional. We also had fantastic in room massages overlooking the ocean. If you are looking for a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the ocean views, you’ve found it. We used the bikes to get to Playa Cayeros and pop into the Barracuda one day for a beach day but mostly we just enjoyed staying at the Hotel and all the amenities they have on site. As others have mentioned, you can’t swim in the beach immediately in front of the hotel but one of the best beaches in Punta Mita is walkable/bikeable so we didn’t find that an issue. Highly recommend!

The food was wonderful, I would say the cost is too high for what you get. The water was off overnight and our toilet plugged up.

Hotel Basalto was beautiful!

el hotel es lindo, muy pequeño, la comida es regular, la atención de algunos empleados no es tan buena, sin embargo está muy limpio y tiene una vista hermosa. El gimnasio es terrible y los alrededores del hotel están terribles, no se puede caminar con calma y es complicado encontrar taxis o Uber, ademas los taxis cobran carísimo

It was beautiful. I especially loved to rooftop pool

The only thing I didn’t like about the property is it didn’t have an elevator. I recently had back surgery & the stairs were a lot for me

Really loved staying at Hotel Basalto! Beautiful location, staff, food, and ambiance. We will be back!

Amazing views and amazing staff. Property is off of a dirt road and unless you pre-schedule an uber or car or rent a car, you’re stuck at the hotel. Property could use a good refresh with pretty much everything metal rusting out including the all the gym equipment in their so called gym. And lastly, the lack of a usable beach is tough as well. All in all, quaint hotel, quiet and a different experience if that’s what you’re looking for. Just needs some basic annual maintenance, hopefully a paved road eventually and maybe invest in a golf cart to drive customers down to the closest swimmable beach.

Just what I wanted. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of a resort this is the place. There are beaches within walking distance if you want. But there’s a nice pool at Basalto. Even when it was full it seemed like there was no one there. The restaurant is amazing at reasonable prices. Can’t say enough about this place. If you want to relax this is the place. The town of Punta Mita is a 5 min taxi ride but even that town is not too busy.

We took the suite with sea view which I would honestly recommend to anyone as this is truly the strong point of the hotel and they were better than on the pictures and we were lucky enough to spot plenty of whales from our balcony. Would definitely return! We also booked the tour to Playa Escondida / Islas Marietas with them and it was so much better than with our tours as it was via a local company and we were only in 4 in total.

As others have said, you need a car since this hotel is like 10 min from the city center and the last 800m are on a dirt road (nothing too bad as long as you drive slowly). If we were to be picky, they have a good restaurant offering but for anything beyond the standard menu you will jage to pay on top (like a cappuccino or Nutella spread)… when paying 500-600usd this could honestly be included.

Spaceous room with large bathroom; Numerous friendly staff; good brakfast and a laid back atmosphere. I would love to come back.

Very friendly staff, good food.

Its not on the beach and thus not worth $400 plus what i paid for it

It is an absolutely beautiful location and property.

The staff and food were fantastic. Its away from most amenities so youre just kinda there. My lady and I stayed 5 days at the Conrad and were spoiled at the huge property. We then moved to Bosalto and were equally happy with the quaintness of it. Id love to return some day soon.

I wish this property had a beach, other than that it was perfect.

We loved the room. Spacious, comfortable bed, smart tv, incredible ocean view with a balcony, mini split AC for comfortable temps.

El personal muy amable y la comida muy buena y la vista del hotel excelente

EXCELENTE LUGAR PARA VIAJAR EN PAREJA

Todo de lujo

Lugar tranquilo para relajarte y descansar

Wonderful staff who were very friendly and attentive - 5 Stars. A nice small (10 rooms) hotel with good food and service. However, the area around the hotel is grubby (lots of run down buildings and construction) and the location is inconvenient/isolated. It is a short walk to a beautiful beach/stretch of ocean and El Barracuda but most other things are not within walking distance. Good for a short break and very relaxing.

Nice boutique hotel, very quiet & intimate.

Incredible staff, everyone is so friendly and helpful. The food is top notch, and Gary at the rooftop pool bar makes wonderful cocktails. The rooms are so comfy and beautifully decorated. Every morning, we sat and had coffee while enjoying our view. The hotel had a SUP board and snorkels that we took to nearby beaches. Amazing location! We’ll be back.

The beach at the hotel is beautiful, but you can’t swim. We went to a nearby beach to swim and snorkel.

Es excelente, la comida deliciosa. vistas muy lindas y la atencion de 10 sin pensarloregreso

amazing stay. could not say anything negative about our week at this amazing hotel

Excellent views, great property, my wife and I throughly enjoyed our stay. Gary the bartender was phenomenal, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Will definitely be back!

I booked this small boutique hotel based on a lot of research and their exceptional reviews. I was really looking forward to it. Everything fell short - the rooms had a horrible perfume smell that gave us both headaches so we couldn't sleep even with all the windows and balcony doors open (the next day they offered to change our room thankfully but we were had made our minds up to leave), the restaurant could not accommodate my gluten free request very well at all - with a very uninspired plate of food that left me hungry. The service was not great, and slightly off putting sadly, and lastly the entire place looked like it needed some TLC. The beach (which was a short walk away) was also not that great. We ended up leaving after one night and losing quite a bit of money - first time we have ever done that but could not spend our cherished vacation time in a place that was not up to par. I really do not know how this place has such good reviews. I do not like leaving bad reviews here, and rarely do, but had to on this one.

Clean, friendly property. Will definitely go back!

beautiful and clean 10/10

The best views, wonderful staff, food was amazing

Probably should get a rental car

A great romantic getaway! Loved the hotel, the views, everything is nice. Staff is always there to help! Two swimming pools for relaxing and small access to the sea to just see a small view.

Parking is a bit small, but nothing bad. We had some hot water issues but they were sorted out fast. The road to entry the hotel is dirt so make sure to take a SUV or taller car.

Excellent

Flavor, ingredients and presentation

My husband and I stayed 5 nights in one of the king suites. The room was clean and welcoming and you can’t beat the incredible views. It felt very private and The bed was comfortable. Our favorite feature was the large sliding door which opened wide to make the large patio part of the living space. We booked a couples massage in our room and that was lovely. From the moment we arrived to our departure the staff was attentive, helpful and friendly. Basalto is located between two accessible beaches with a short walk and they have towels, chairs and umbrellas if needed. The staff booked us taxi rides when we asked and they were always on time or early. It’s a quick 10 minute ride into Punta Mita. The breakfast option included in the stay were plenty and delicious. I wanted to bag up some of the homemade granola it was that good. The lunch and dinner was fabulous! We travel quite a bit and this is some of the best food we’ve had on our vacations. Try the grilled shrimp and Baja tacos!! The cocktails were so refreshing and tasty and they had plenty of wine options as well. We enjoyed the upstairs pool, deck and bar with expansive views. It’s the perfect place to get some sun, watch the ocean, the birds flying and diving, read a book, and cool off in the pool. There is a small gym that has enough to get a quick workout in, but we preferred a run or walk on the beach. We would absolutely not hesitate to recommend Hotel Basalto and we hope to return there again sometime soon!

This is a hidden gem in Punta Mita- the ten room property is beautiful and the food and staff is 5 star. Large rooms and balcony, double closet, large shower, stunning view if you are in the ocean side Food- beautiful complimentary breakfast each day with big variety overlooking the ocean Pools and lounges on two decks, always felt you had the place to yourself Staff was so attentive- all spoke English and would help you with whatever you need. Negative- property is built into a cliff- over ocean covered in rocks. You can get to a private beach nearby though and they will supply you with what you need. Transportation- the property is on a hill with no paved road - all dirt and rocks. So it will cost you at least $25 for a taxi to downtown Punta Mita where the bars and restaurants are. But transportation comes in minutes in very nice cars

Beautiful and relaxing. We came for a one-night kid-free getaway from our family staying further south in Bucerias, and it was exactly what we needed - perfect for sitting and relaxing by the pool with a book, wine and snacks (the octopus tostada was amazing!). The room was bigger than expected and very nice and comfortable, we loved the hammock on the porch and sunset views.

Absolutely loved our stay at Basalto! Very peaceful and gorgeous :)

This is one of the best hotel stays ever with well over 1,000+ hotel nights over many years of travel. It is easily THE BEST small boutique hotel I have experienced. Wow and wow. Every detail. The staff was like a symphony and very warm and friendly. The food was some of the best. Always fresh, local, well paired and well seasoned. Room service was even better. After long days of exploring, the staff would basically bring the kitchen to your room with ease and grace. This hotel has it all: location, views, staff, food, pools, and activities. Always clean and tidy.

Amazing views! Rooftop pool and bar were very inviting. Welcoming and helpful staff. Included breakfast very good

No other restaurants within walking distance. Taxis were easy to procure, but road on which the property was located was very poor

Basalto is a very beautiful boutique hotel. The rooms are well laid out and the views on cliff edge are amazing. The spa was pleasant with the sound of the ocean. The food was fantastic. Giovani was great in helping us learn some Spanish while ordering food. We stayed here for two days and spent time at the rooftop pool and enjoying the views from our room.

The only knock on the hotel is all snacks and drinks in the mini fridge are charged back. We were under the impression that at least the waters would be complimentary but it is not.

Not a lot

Location! Located Up a dirt track Nothing to do there A bad odor lingered at the property Difficult to get taxi from there to nearby restaurant

This boutique hotel has a cool vibe off the beaten path in Mexico on the water. I’ve always wanted to stay here because it just seemed so cool and minimal and new and clean. I love modern vibes and anything that’s near the ocean. Parking is underneath.
