Vallarta Shores Beach Hotel

The apartment was really big and we had a big balcony with a nice view of the ocean. When we came the staff organized drinks in the fridge for us those were already included in the price. The staff was really friendly and helpful at all times.

The only thing I didn’t like was that you could hear everything from the hallway through our bathroom. Other than that everything was perfect.

The staff were very nice and attentive

I loved the location!! Great view to the beach and enjoyed each beautiful sunset. The condo was perfect size for 5 people.

The rooms are air conditioned but the kitchen, dining, living room area are not. It was extremely hot so it was uncomfortable to sit and enjoy time eating or spending time outside the room.

Staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Adrian! Our suite was roomy, clean, and very comfortable with gorgeous sunsets and great view of lightning storm over the ocean.

A/C in Primary bedroom was not as cold as the other rooms. It was extremely hot when we stayed and the a/c has to work hard. We would enter and exit our bedroom quickly to not let cold air escape because it took a while to cool the room.

Nos encantó que tiene acceso a la playa sin restricciones. Muy amable el personal y la alberca también muy cómoda.

Excelente ubicación, espacio del lugar y vistas

No hay aire acondicionado en las áreas comunes, como el comedor o sala, solo en las habitaciones

Access to beach. Unit was great.

全て良かったと思う。 ロケーションも最高でした。 サンセットが見れたのは良かった

近くにレストラン街がないのと、ホテルに行くまでの道が少し狭い。

Great location and very big rooms

On a dead end street and a lot of solicitors once you left the hotel and walked down the street

It was so beautiful Room was absolutely amazing

Amazing room The private pool was soooo nice They upgraded us as well Wonderful staff

Location was perfect

The AC heat transfer is right in the balcony so the balcony becomes super hot if you want to sit outside.

Adrian was wonderful and upgraded us to a suite with a private pool and a personal chef! Lovely sunset views from our balcony. We will definitely return!

Vallarta Shores was an incredible experience from start to finish, but the absolute highlight was having our private chef, Jesus. Every single meal he made was exceptional, restaurant quality and honestly better than many places we tried in town. From breakfast to dinner, everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. You can tell he genuinely cares about his craft. It felt like having a personal five-star dining experience right in our suite every day. We stayed on both 3 bedroom sky suites which comes with a chef and your own private pool!! The suites themselves were beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly located, but Chef Jesus took the entire vacation to another level. The shared space was open air and gorgeous. The individual bedrooms all had their own air conditioning and full bathrooms. If you stay here, do yourself a favor and book the chef experience (request Jesus) You will not regret it. To top it off you can get a massage in your room at a VERY affordable price!!!!

Suite was clean and spacious

Poor internet

The property was well kept. Our Suite D was large for 6 adults and it had a great view. The staff was helpful and very kind. Chef Dulce made amazing meals and took exceptional care of us. We look forward to going back in the future.

Nothing

The staff was amazing and the place is right in the beach.

The only thing is that it is a little hard to get to at the end of a busy block.

Beach front

Further into PV than I thought. During the night there were questionable people outside trying to sell maybe vapes or something to smoke. It was uncomfortable to be out at night in the neighborhood. Property itself was nice

Vallarta Shores is an ideal cross between a resort and boutique hotel. The location, directly on Playa Los Muertos and a short walk to Zona Romántica, Centro and Malecón, make it easy to enjoy the pool or beach and explore the community. The suite's common area is a lovely open-air space, and separate bedrooms give privacy to each traveler. The hearty, delicious Mexican meals prepared by our en-suite chef were outstanding and a wonderful service to have upon arrival and after spending the day outside.

The suite was meticulously clean and kept in good order by the staff, but surfaces are showing wear and tear - cracked tiles, loose safety glass. The beach party hosted by the property next door was very loud and disruptive, which certainly wasn't the hotel's doing, but surrounding property owners should make an effort to shorten the event. Not enough people attended to justify four-days of constant thumping club music for 11 hours per day.

Right on the beach. Smaller resort with an extremely friendly staff. Room was clean and the hotel provided great coffee. The noise level from the neighboring hotel was quite high but they were having some kind of special event for the first couple of days.

Noise from the neighbors.

Beautiful sky suite unit, well kept and clean. Great water views. Bedrooms and living areas were wonderful. Bathrooms in two of the rooms could use some updating and perhaps exhaust fans as well. Our chef, Rodrigo, was wonderful and very accommodating to the requests of the group.

Only issue was the difficult walk on the streets from the property into other parts of town, apart from walking on the beach. That was okay as an alternative, but just a small challenge not wanting to get sand in shoes for dress up dinner occasions.

Private ground floor suite that was tastefully decorated ! Very peaceful, on the beach . Opened the refrigerator to find a couple bottles of water and Corona beer ! Now that was a first ! Typical PV , warm kind loving staff ❤️

It was a bit of a walk to get to restaurants, not a problem for us , but could be if you have mobility issues.

Beach front, lots of space, clean, great views, immediate access to Playa Los Muertos. It’s in zona romantica but not in the thick of it - which to me is a great thing but others may prefer that, and this would probably be too out of the way for them. I enjoyed coffee on my veranda overlooking the beach and made myself a delicious breakfast then enjoyed friends, the beach, and all that PV offers.

Nada

Wonderful place. Location, service, comfort, value - everything was fabulous.

Villa Azul was absolutely incredible — it truly felt like something straight out of a movie. Every room was beautifully designed and offered stunning ocean views. At night, you could fall asleep to the sound of waves crashing on the beach, which made the entire experience even more special. What truly set this stay apart, though, was the staff. Chef Irvin and Chef Alberto were beyond accommodating and prepared delicious meals for us throughout the trip. Every dish was thoughtfully made, and they went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. We are so grateful for the hospitality and care we received. I would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing, and well-managed stay. We would absolutely love to return in the future.

I loved the location.

The sliding doors were difficult to maneuver. We had to get help from the staff 3 of 7 days.

Our stay was absolutely defined by the incredible staff especially Albert and Irvin. From day one, he made us feel completely taken care of. His attentiveness was next level. Whether it was our 6-year-old happily ordering mudslides (his favorite!) or the other kids requesting their own beautifully made mocktails, they never missed a beat. They remembered preferences, anticipated needs, and treated every request big or small with genuine care and enthusiasm. It truly felt like personalized, five-star service every single day. Albert and Irvin are top-notch chefs and an exceptional team. The chemistry between them is seamless, and it shows in every meal. Dinner each night felt like dining at a Michelin-star restaurant. From incredible Mexican dishes to fresh sushi and everything in between, every meal was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. They are not only talented but also warm, accommodating, and truly invested in making your experience special. The cleaning crew also deserves recognition — they did an amazing job. Daily service was impeccable: fresh towels, crisp sheets, spotless floors. Everything was maintained to the highest standard, and it never went unnoticed. As for the property itself, there are a few things to consider. The home is somewhat dated and could use a refresh. Bathrooms and bedrooms show some wear — leaky toilets, slow-draining showers, small maintenance issues that just need some attention. If rating purely on the physical home, it would likely be closer to a 3. However, Albert and Irvin completely closed that gap with their service and hospitality. There are three pools, but only one is heated. We weren’t able to use the other two during our stay. While having three pools sounds amazing (and it is!), realistically you’ll likely use the heated one unless you’re visiting in warmer summer months. If anyone in your group has accessibility concerns, note that there are a lot of stairs and no elevator. There are also cameras in the common areas (main living/TV room and main patio area). It gives the space more of a resort feel rather than a private home-away-from-home atmosphere. After a week, we found ourselves wishing there had been a spa/hot tub and a small gym. That said, we knew this going in, it simply wasn’t advertised, and we didn’t think much of it beforehand. The location was great. Easy Uber or taxi ride into town. For groceries, Albert and Irvin were always incredibly accommodating and happy to help. Otherwise, Uber Eats made it simple to order from local grocery stores or even Costco. At the end of the day, what made this stay unforgettable was the staff. Albert, especially, went above and beyond in ways that truly elevated the entire experience. His attention to detail, warmth, and consistency are what we’ll remember most.

It's a great place to stay right on the beach and very quiet at night

Maybe some more beach chairs

Beachfront views private pool in villa

No wheelchair access

The open air design was beautiful in January. Loved the private pool and it was very spacious

It was a little dated and in need of some attention.

Great location, beach view, private pool.

Vallarta Shores is a quaint hotel on the beach where we’ve stayed in the seventh story penthouse two times. Having the entire floor and huge open living space with our own infinity pool overlooking the beach and bay is a real treat! Another highlight we had for both stays was our personal chef. We were lucky to be assigned Chef Edwin for both visits. Every meal was to order with fresh ingredients. Edwin truly makes the visit special! Just add family and friends for a great time to remember.

Perfect location. Great staff. Clean. Huge rooms. Spectacular ocean view. Private beach. Strong WIFI. AC works great. Full kitchenette.

Next couple of street, which you have to take to reach hotel, there is a night club on 13th floor of another resort. After sunset you will find peddlers offering drugs on that street. Said that, it is a common scene near clubs. They didn't bother us, and in fact stay quiet and away after one offering. There is nothing this hotel can do about.

Great location and fabulous staff! We got an upgrade to a Sky Suite with our own pool! The hotel itself was steps to the beach and a multitude of restaurants. Everything was beyond what we were expecting. The suite was gorgeous ! We didn’t want leave! We’ll definitely be back.

Nothing! Everything, and everyone, were so friendly and accommodating.

I loved the pool view room with its own private entrance. And a plus was that you could see the ocean and the sunsets from your room too.

It was farther from most of the restaurants than I had hoped and near some night clubs that were a little noisy at night

Our stay was incredible. The food was outstanding every day and we were well cared for by the staff. Views of the ocean and sunsets are amazing throughout the house.

The kindness and the chef was amazing!!

The staff was willing to help us make arrangements when we needed. The rooms were made up very nicely and very clean. Great bedding. The small pool was very clean and having exclusive beach chairs and palapas for guests use were great too!

Loud club music all day from the beach club next door. If you aren’t able to tune that out so you can relax then probably should pick somewhere else to stay. Some of the dishes in the kitchen could’ve been a bit cleaner, perhaps washed by hand and not run through any dishwasher to sanitize etc.

An amazing location. Music is loud from the next door resort. However the hotel is so worth it.

Feels like home. Safe and secure

All the amenities it offers.

It’s in a hard to find location for one that goes for the first time.

The apartments are quite unusual and luxurious. They are all catered for. We had 3 different rooms during our stay, 2 with our own private pool. It's right in front of the beach which is really nice.

Some of it is getting a bit tired with the finish to tiling, bathroom fittings, handrails all looking a bit worn.

Suite "A" was perfect and everything we imagined and more. We were a group of 8 women celebrating a 40th birthday and we had a time. As soon as you walk into the suite it's a open layout concept with a pool in the living room overlooking the beautiful ocean of PV. The place was immaculant & just beautiful. It was the perfect place for us to enjoy our friends milestone birthday. The hotel was quiet and relaxing to the point I thought we were the only ones there. We slept peacefully and woke up to freshly made breakfast and overlooking the ocean. Our personal chef was Rodrigo and he was AMAZING. We never went hungry and the price was right. The meals were sooo good and definitely top notch quality. He also served salsa, fresh chips, and guacamole poolside. Rodrigo made our experience memorable. The room fit a group of 8 easily with each room w/King bed and restroom in each room. Also, during our dinner, we saw fireworks nightly which made our experience so nice. This place is everything you can imagine and more. Also, through the hotel we had our own taxi cab driver "Miguel" throughout the whole weekend who ensured we got to all our destinations a d back to our hotel safely. Overall, book this Airbnb/hotel. It's perfect location and so beautiful! I can't wait to return with my family. This was the best hotel!

We visited Vallarta Shores to celebrate our girlfriends 40th birthday! We stayed in suite A and had an AMAZING time! The BEST part was Rodrigo, our chef! He was so delightful and the food was absolutely delightful! If ever in Puerta Vallarta with a group, we would definitely request Rodrigo again! Brandy Harris

Very nice apartment, large, nice view, really top

Nothing

Private pool

Prácticamente todo estuvo excelente, la vista por los ventanales, la amplitud y comodidad del departamento, la atención del personal del hotel, la ubicación (caminando sobre la playa unas 2 cuadras se llegaba al inicio del paseo del malecón), probablemente sea el hotel con la mejor relación calidad-precio de Puerto Vallarta.

El baño de la habitación con tina tenía mal las pendientes del piso hacia la rejilla, al ducharse el agua basicamente inundaba el baño, lo bueno que se contaba con un tercer baño con ducha, por lo que solo utilizamos 1 vez ese baño para ducharnos.

La habitación era mucho mejor lo que imaginabamos y esperabamos por las fotos. La vista al mar le sumó muchisimo. Es de muy facil acceso el hotel, a pocas cuadras de la zona mas centrica del Malecón, por lo que podías ir caminando sin problema tanto de día como de noche.

The staff were fantastic couldn’t have done any more for me. The room was amazing, great views right across from the beach. Photos actually aren’t as good as it looks in real life!

Was a little noisy with the club next to it

View

The room was too close to the main entrance of the property. Room #8. I booked way in advance. Upon checking in, I was told there was no other room available. Bummer!

Todo perfecto

The villa, the chef, everything was an unbelievable experience. They were accommodating to all our requests and created an incredibly memorable time for us all. 10/10

I can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is. Great location. Quiet. Clean. Super attentive management and staff. After staying on the Malecon several times which was also lovely but very noisy, Vallarta Shores is a dream. So if you don’t mind easy walks into town and want a beautiful private beach, pool and comfortable accommodations with awesome views, this is the place. Will be returning for the third time February 2026. Can’t wait!

Beautiful space for a peaceful trip

It was the farthest from the bars and clubs and no activities within the hotel

Las habitaciones, la calidez del personal y el servicio en general

Todo muy bien, tuvimos un inconveniente que fue ampliamente compensado

It’s at the south end of the Malecon Boardwalk and Playa Los Muertos which we liked. It’s set further back than the hotels next to it giving it a secluded feel. The beach area in front of the hotel isn’t as busy as the rest of Playa Los Muertos. We loved the short walk to Playa Amapas and then to Playa Conchas Chinas. Every room has an ocean view and you are steps from the beach. We also enjoyed using the pool, outdoor shower, lounge chairs, and umbrellas too. There is a hot tub but it wasn’t heated because it would’ve been too hot for July. Rooms are spacious and clean and very nice! We were in #8 and there is an AC in the Master bedroom and a fan in the living room and the room stays pretty cool.

The pillows. They were too big and your neck kind of starts to hurt as you sleep. Also, power went out one of the nights we were there so it was HOT! They got it back on the next day but we talked about switching hotels if the power hadn’t resumed due to the muggy July heat. The Malecon doesn’t really start until about 3 blocks north of the property. There wasn’t a day that we weren’t offered drugs while walking those 3 blocks. It never felt dangerous though. The sellers just say the words and hope you’ll bite and if you don’t, they don’t say anything else and are not aggressive at all. FYI. (Not the hotel’s fault, just unfortunate that those men gather there). Also, it was mostly quiet at night but one night the gay hotel/nightclub next door was very loud. Bring ear plugs and you’ll be fine. Also, because there are a few gay hotels next door, that part of Playa Los Muertos is filled with gay men in speedos. It was an interesting experience to say the least.

This was an amazing property. My only small complaints were that our shower barely drained and the bath towels smelled dingy/not freshly laundered. The pool in our unit was SOOOOO HOT, thus not refreshing, but only mother nature's relentless sunshine caused that issue. Maybe a shade of some sort over the pool can help with that problem, but it didn't make our vacation any less wonderful! The hotel's main pool was nice and cool so we found ourselves there often. The beach was just steps away, which provided a good breeze. Everyone we encountered was very friendly. Dulce' was our chef and was amazing. Every dish she made was perfect! She had fresh guac, pico and margaritas ready for our arrival and I've never tasted better. The views from our balcony were beautiful. We loved watching the sunsets every evening. We walked around every day, enjoying the shops and one night had a great meal at a nearby beach restaurant. We are already looking to return next summer.

El penthouse fue una experiencia personalizada muy agradable

No tengo queja

Lots to like; the staff was WONDERFUL, extremely helpful! I booked a large suite (2 bedroom, 3 full bath!) that was modern, clean & lovely, but could have used another air conditioning unit, my only feedback!

Ramon, our chef, is exceptionally talented. Every meal was a gourmet feast. I asked him for recommendations for what type of meals to eat, and everything he prepared was delicious and healthy! He was a tremendous host and very flexible when it came to unexpected changes in our plans. I asked for a specific Mexican dish that he had never prepared, and it came out better than what I had in mind! The concierge staff was also extremely helpful and attentive. The location is literally perfect. The beach is all white sand and not in downtown PVR, which means it was practically empty. The cleaning crew was thorough and fast.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

we stayed at villa azul for a big birthday celebration and it was everything we could’ve hoped for and more. irvin and alberto took such amazing care of us… the service and food was truly perfection. from the incredible daily meals - tacos, seafood, INSANE calamari, margaritas, and the out-of-this-world guacamole - everything was thoughtful and delicious. the house was spotless with each room cleaned daily, and the views were absolutely unmatched. we caught the most unreal sunsets every evening. the pool on the main floor became our favorite hangout… the perfect gathering spot for our whole group of family and friends. can’t recommend this place enough. we’d recommend in a heartbeat and we are already planning our next trip back.

Room to pool to beach less than 40 meters.

Staff location

There is no ceiling fan in the lounge which makes it very hot wifi is non existent outside is the only place it works and for three evenings we did not have any hot water

This villa was AMAZING. It was even more stunning in person than in the photos. It was clean, great location, and great staff/service. The food was delicious and they accommodated to everyone’s food allergies/preferences. I will 100% stay here again next time I come to Puerta Vallarta.

The staff were amazing! The place was so beautiful and our rooms were cozy. Plenty of space to have a massage or a private yoga session

Staff was very friendly and inviting. Check in with super smooth and efficient.

It was a great little resort! Hidden jem

So wonderful. If you like clean ,beachfront, relaxing to the max! Was sooooo good. Pool was small but sufficient, walk to town was a little farther than usual rooms were very well acquainted and the folding glass walls to the outside were the most amazing part ! Just opened them and relax! 10 out of 10

We just left and let me tell you, we will be back! The location was great, the staff are so friendly, the beach was pretty much ours the whole stay. I could go on and on about Vallarta Shores!

Perfect location. Chef service is amazing.

My family and I had a fantastic week at Villa Azul. The entire stuff is top notch and always doing their best to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The only complaint I heard from my family members was the stairs to the bottom 2 stories can be slippery when it rained. Even though it was June and hot we had to request to heat up the pool because the water was too cold for a couple of people. Daniel, Ivan (chef) and the entire staff always answered to all of our request and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time. Whad a fantastic time and wouldn’t think twice about coming back.

VallartaShores was really great until we discovered one of the suites had bedbugs I invited friends down to PV for my seventh birthday celebration and one of my guest room / suite No. 6 He kept complaining about being bit by something, but we could never figure it out until we checked and figured it out. It was bed Bug. Do not second guess if something like this happens always have the Hotel double check and triple check if need be it took us to come back home and go to the doctor dermatologist to figure out what all of the bites were from bed bugs and it was confirmed by a dermatologist. it was bedbug bites !!!!!!

I couldn’t rave more about our stay at Villa Azul with Chef Irwin and Carlos! The house was amazing!!! As beautiful as the pictures are, they don’t even do it justice! The beds were extremely comfortable, the housekeeping was wonderful, with fresh towel daily, made beds and clean floors! The house had loads of space as we were travelling with family and friends. You could enjoy moments alone on different pools on different levels, as well as enjoying the beautiful common space together taking in the views! The food was hands down AMAZING, and Chef Irwin always kept us in the loop about the next fresh delicious dish that was on the menu. Carlos was over the top friendly and his service was impeccable, whether it be breakfast/dinner service or making sure everyone had a drink in hand. It was so quiet and serene, the views are breathtaking. On top of all of this, anything you needed or wanted Chef Irwin and Carlos were happy to help, whether it be rides, massages, or special arrangements. We will be back for sure and would recommend it to anyone going to Puerto Vallarta! Thanks again to everyone for the trip to remember!

The experience was incredible! Having a chef was amazing and the food was spectacular. We had Jesus and Martin and they both were very impressive. Friendly, accommodating, very delicious food. We will absolutely return here when we are in PV!

Amazing property, on the ocean my one bedroom suite on the first floor with private pool was much more than I expected. Very spacious and well appointed. Decor was very old school Vallarta charm. Full kitchen, dining room, living room and large bath with great water pressure. And the view of the ocean spectacular. Staff was very friendly and had no issues with friends that came over to hang out at my pool. Room 4 highly recommended.

Location, room and views were great. Special thanks to our chef, Martin!! Greeting with a warm smile and delicious food every day. Fresh fruit, eggs and mimosas in the mornings. Enchiladas verdes, carne asada, fresh guacamole, pico de gallo and margaritas in the evenings. Thank you for taking such good care of us! We’re going to miss this place. Adios for now, but we will be back.

Great location and safe if you are looking to be in Zona Romantica. Restaurants are walkable. Beach is just steps away. You wake up to the sound of waves, so quiet and peaceful.

I checked in on the day they were told they would have no power and the front desk chose not to inform me. I had to book another hotel since the power was not on by 3pm as they said it would be. I'm still waiting on my refund.
