La Posada Pacifica

We’ve stayed here multiple times and have never had a bad experience. 100% recommend staying here

Everything is great. If you’re older just note that the walk to the room is a little long and over a suspended bridge. You can take a shorter walk through the river if the conditions are right

La habitación y la ubicación ideal para las vacaciones perfectas en boca de Tomatlan

Privacy! Is it’s the best! River view and kindest

Easy to find and availability!

Todo muy bonito, las vistas y la experiencia que tuvimos con el alojamiento, todo limpio y bien ordenado

The room was fantastic. Very clean and stayed cool even without the AC. Opening the doors to the balcony to let the breeze in was great. Very lush outside the window, even in dry season. The staff were friendly and gave me a lot of information about restaurants, buses, the beaches and the botanical garden.

Lots of noise some evenings between neighbours partying and playing super loud music, or motorcycles and atvs driving by also playing impossibly loud music. I think it's a common issue in this town on weekends. The roosters and dogs next door will wake you up in the morning, even with earplugs. None of this is the fault of the hotel, but keep it in mind.

Me encantó, es un lugar económico, con muy buena ubicación, a media hora de Puerto Vallarta,

We liked the overall location immersed in nature, the balcony, comfortable beds, good a/c, rain shower, kitchen facilities.

We liked everything about the property. Something that is beyond the properties control is the neighbouring very loud barking dogs all through the night. We’re from Canada & not acclimatized to this, as repetitive loud barking dogs are against the law (bylaw) as it’s considered disruptive to others. There was some construction noise from across the river also but construction noise seems to be common in Mexico. Not as peaceful in terms of external noise as we had hoped for given the location.

It was a long walk from where we had to park to the room. I thought we would be able to drop the bags off at the hotel but it wasn't like that. It was across a foot path which was very unique and scenic and the host carried our bags for us. So in the end it was fine but a little unexpected.

Antoine was very kind and helpful. The manager gave me an extra fan when I asked for it which was wonderful.

The neighbors have barking dogs and they don’t attempt to keep them quiet. It was too much noise for me.

Spacious, well equipped apartment overlooking the river in a quiet area. Hosts were great, helpful, and attentive that live on the property. Hiking trail to Playa Animas runs right by the front. Would definitely stay again!

La tranquillité !!! Le calme, le charme de l’appartement , la vue.

L’accès est un peu compliqué (on passe sur un petit pont étroit de 3 planches posé sur des sacs de sable donc acces restreint pour grosse valises étc…) les chiens un peu trop présents autour de l’hôtel.

Good layout and clean

Great room lots of space. Nice balcany

Excellent location. Just across river from town and right along the trail to Colomitos beach. A great view from the upper deck of Boca . Very safe and bright and friendly decor. Ver accommodating to families with lots of bedding options . Well stocked kitchen for cooking.

We had a very enjoyable stay! I would just note that the beds seemed a wee bit tired. But really nothing that would hinder us from coming back.

The bed was super comfy and we appreciated the kitchen facilities. We enjoyed making our own coffee in the morning then sipping on the balcony overlooking the river. We also liked watching the birds and people active on the river. There was great access to the hikes to Quimixto and beaches as well as quick access to the beautiful Botanical Gardens to the South.

Although it was beyond the hotel's immediate control, the incessant barking by the neighbourhood dogs kept us from sleeping... followed by countless roosters crowing from 3am on. Some soundproofing would sure help! The provided info about the area really needs updating to be helpful. The costs of busses, etc., were not current and led to some awkward moments.

Such a great location in Boca!! Beautiful jungle setting, everyone was so friendly, and our host was so kind, and responsive. He got us whatever we asked for. Very spacious room, with beautiful glass doors opening to the patio. It was quiet and felt private, yet is right on the walking path. A very happy place to be!

It's not easy to find, especially if you get there after dark. There is no sign with the hotel name that is visible from the path. Thankfully there were still some locals sitting outside that night, that could direct us to the right building. Putting a sign at the bottom of the hotel near the path would be so helpful! It also would be great for the host to check the room ahead of time, as we had a coffee pot full of old moldy coffee grounds. And we didn't have any drinking glasses, only a couple coffee mugs. But these things were very minor compared to how great this place feels overall!

Such a great space with a great view.

A nice room with everything you need for your stay. It has a living room, balcony, large bedroom, nice bathroom, and a fully equipped kitchen. Nice location on the beautiful river and close to town and the beach and restaurants.

Nothing

Very nice host, super spacious clean and absolutely worth the price!

We loved this location, and the accommodation. The manager was friendly as well. The communication was great, and we were allowed an early check-in, which we appreciated. The hammock in the balcony was great as well!!

The kitchen could have a few more dishes. It had oil, salt, and pepper which is handy for cooking.

Fue excelente

No one there to help me. Could not find my room. Left and had to find other accommodations. Wondering if I can get a refund?

It was a little difficult to get to because a Bridge had been washed out and not replaced. So accessing it could only be done via a foot Suspension bridge. - bikes could use It but no motorized vehicles.

Very pretty location and nice amenities like a hammock. Relatively easy to get to, however no direct car access.

Me encantó la tranquilidad del lugar , frente al río , el gerente muy amable ... si lo recomiendo

El acceso solamente que queda un poco lejos el estacionamiento

Me gustó lo espacioso que era, la comunicación con el anfitrión fue muy efectiva y la vista al rio era espectacular.

lo lejano que estaba el estacionamiento.

El lugar tiene las cosas necesarias para la estadia.

Muy mal servicio, el gerente nos dejo en esperando por dos horas, gracias a ello no pudimos comer ya que los resturantes los cierran temprano, traiamos equipaje, llovio y es un dificil acceso a la posada, ya que a parte se fue la luz por muchas horas si acceso a nada en la posada. Aunado a eso, nos exigio el gerente salir exactamente a las 11 am sin darnos la cara ni una explicacion. Cabe mencionar que se le marco varias veces y los mensajes igual. Muy mal servicio por el gerente.

It was the only place available in the area for that date that could accommodate four people. I was weary because of the low price, but the rooms were large, clean, comfortable, and very well-equipped, and the AC was silent and cold. In the end, we paid very little and got exactly what we needed.

C’était parfait pour notre budget et notre type de voyage. Pour se rendre à l’hôtel on doit traverser différent lieux qui sont une immersions dans la culture locale. L’hôte est très aimable et sympathique. Les lieux sont pratiques et jolis. La vue est magnifique, elle donne sur la rivière.

2 aspects qui ne sont pas liés directement à la casa, mais à l’environnement. 1- Quelques moments de plusieurs chiens qui jappent. Et 2 -Sur le trajet entre le centre et l’hôtel, on doit passer devant un tas de vidange nauséabond.

Location

Well where do I start, We got there no toilet paper and 2 bath towels. I asked for for toilet paper after and more towels since I paid for six people, did not receive till next morning and just 1 toilet paper roll for 6 people! I also asked about jacuzzi, out of service, and hot water for my toddler, said he was out of gas. I also asked about the terrace and how to use hot plate no response till next day and still no solution or instructions. My son and I tried to go get a nice view for the Terrace almost got bite by the dog and after catching him next door he said terrace was closed! The dog was vicious also when get back from a tour the dog tried biting my husband! Another time he was at our dog and would let us out we had to wait him out. We had to be very cautious he was not around to go in or out. The owner or manager no where to b found and we emailed and we to his apt and nothing. We heard from neighbors he was cheap and didn’t want to turn on water heater, while my toddler screamed and cried the water was cold and didn’t want to shower, she was terrified, my husband had enough and waited for someone and a lady gave him more toilet paper and turned on water heater on the last 2 days! Never again!!!

Easy to get on the hiking trail,, relaxed atmosphere..

Close to everything close to the water taxis, stores, etc...upon entering the town head down to dead end then make a left to dead end (parking lot) and you will see the pink and yellow hotel on right side, cross an easy to cross bridge....We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back to hear the birds sing in the morning and to enjoy the jungle feeling. THANK YOU

The hotel is across a small river close to hiking trails and small grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants. Our room was large, with a king bed, room to unpack, nice hot shower, kitchen setup, and rooftop space for relaxation. One of the reasons we stayed here was the proximity to the mountain trail to the many beautiful beaches along the coastline, specifically Las Animas Beach. We also discovered a wonderful family restaurant called Stephanie's just steps from the hotel and ate there the two nights we were in Boca de Tomatlan.

It was a great place to visit with so much to do as a family. We explored beautiful beaches around the coastal walkway, took the bus or taxis to the botanic gardens, the tequila tour and the wildlife sanctuary and spent time exploring the town and local beach. The place had everything you needed to make meals with fresh ingredients from the local store and there were several great options for eating out. The balcony and rooftop patios both had great views. Highly recommend!

Beautiful, well-thought-out rooms. One of the comfiest beds I’ve ever slept in and an absolutely breathtaking view!

The friendliness and hospitality of Pierre and son.

Loved itvv

If you are looking for quiet and a little secluded this is it 20 minutes from PV by bus you have the ability to do so. The quaint fishing village is fun and friendly. Your host is great and will accommodate you in anything you need We spent 35 days there and could have stay another 35 but alas had to get home

Quietness

Nice, accommodating Host. Clean room.

The property Listing could maybe mention that they are across a river and you have to walk across a rustic wooden plank bridge to get there. No one offered my meet me at the random parking lot that my Uber and I had to find (better specific directions would help). It would have been nice to have someone help with the bags and show me where the place was. Also the lock on the room door didn't work from the inside and the patio doors definitely don't lock. When a place charges the amount that these guys do, you would expect the services and facility to step it up a bit. Definitely feeling like this place (and others in the vicinity) are gouging the tourists. This will inevitably work against them in the long run and probably sooner than they think.

Clean, spacious, kitchen

You have to walk across a plank bridge over the river to access the property and then climb stairs. It might be a challenge for anyone with balance or mobility issues.

Very clean and spacious with a great view . Enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again :)

Wonderful location in a great town. Great host. Friendly neighbors. Highly highly recommend.

Nothing.

The property's location is great. It is on a nice part of the river. The balcony and the view is nice. The owner is nice and helped us resolve a few issues we had with the apartment.

The apartment was not very clean. The beds seemed to be very old. The kitchen could have used some more equipment. The description mentioned a common space, but it was quite neglected and some of the amenities mentioned did not exist. The place has a lot of potential, but needs some TLC.

La Posada Pacifica was very comfortable and well appointed for my family of four. The view across the river and overlooking the jungle was wonderful. The bird sound, The evening thunder. The air conditioning worked well and saved us city types from the impossibly high humidity. Clean water. The building caretaker was friendly, without getting in our business. We were very comfortable in our room and slept as well as parents of 5year old's can.

The experience of staying in Boca on the far side of the river is an adventure. It all adds up to make the experience - but be prepared to pack your luggage over a swaying bridge in 99% humidity. It is a working town, not a resort.

Everything was super nice! Don’t pay attention to the negative brats in the reviews. It was clean, comfy, free water, ok wifi, close to all the beautiful beaches, quiet at night and nice host.

Nothing

Great view from the balcony, great kitchen, great internet

Magical little spot on the river. Great little studio with everything I needed.

The location is across the river from the main part of town. We crossed a bridge made of wood planks to get across the river. The "street" was really more of a walking path that dirt bikes and 4 wheelers could access. The room had an amazing balcony that looks over the river towards the small town. We could just barely see the beach as well. We loved to prepare meals, drinks, and coffee in the well equipped kitchen and then enjoy it on the porch as we watched the birds. The street/path becomes the trail that leads to Colomitos beach and the amazing beaches beyond. If you want to spend your days hiking to beaches and waterfalls then this is the spot!

On the weekend there was loud music in the distance. This wasn't a problem for us, but I thought it should be noted. It is probably about 200 yards or more from the closest spot that a taxi could drop someone off. Again, not a problem for us.

Nothing…..no one there to check us in

Had to drive through a river to get to the house only to find out there was no one to check us in, howling dogs, no parking as stated.

Great space, great view, clean room, quiet and functional.

Everything was awesome

Beautiful views from the deck. Peaceful location. Hammock on deck. Comfortable bed and good enough kitchen.

No communication from manager. No one to let us in when we arrived. We were told that the manager was ill so maybe need to not complain about that. But no one spoke to us the entire 3 days we were there. A resident finally got us in. Difficult to find the place. We came by bus.

The accès to river and beach!!! It was quiet and very cozy !!!

Staff very helpful and friendly

Very cute old motel, right on the river. Far enough from main bars so noise is low.

The town has a dog problem, all over and bark all night. None seem mean, but bark all night.

The location is always our favourite part. Beautiful views of a stunning and quaint fishing village.

Instructions were only in Spanish when on site (binder full of house rules and local treats was only provided in Spanish, providing this in multiple languages would have been more useful).

It was a lovely spacious room with an amazing balcony and view over the river, close to brach

Wonderful patio, dreamy hammock, beautiful view, very clean. Everything you need for a fantastic stay. We loved playing cards on the patio after a later dinner at Casa Abuela. (The ceviche place across the street from there is also excellent.) Every day we took a water taxi (100 pesos) to different beaches. We stayed three nights and got to three beaches - we could have stayed another night to make it to Yelapa. We liked going towards the end of Las Animas under the shade of the palm trees, and hanging out at Charly's Bar on Playa Quimixto watching the incredible surfing. One day we hiked (45 mins) to Colomitos Beach which was shallow low waves, but pretty small in terms of footprint.

Worth being aware that there's about a 100m walk from the bridge to the property at the moment as the bridge right in front of La Posada washed out with the hurricane. We managed it with a stroller, rolling suitcase, and backpacks but it took a touch of effort! Totally worth it. It looked like it was being rebuilt while we were there (December 2023).

I like that Posada Pacifica is on the other side of the pedestrian bridge, very quiet at night. The room was spacious for the 3 of us and everything was clean. I also like the balcony overlooking the creek/river. Easy bus ride to Puerto Vallarta (10 pesos, one way (about 1$ CAD and it takes only 25 minutes, buses frequent too). I love the hike to Colomitos Beach, this beach is small but well worth the visit, water is warm and beautiful! You can take the boat when you return (I suggest going early, so it's less busy.

This is a great place to stay for a few days, but we stayed too long (6 days), not much in Boca itself, it is more of a hub to visit other locations, especially by boat.

This is a Hidden Gem!

Can be a lil noisy with neighborhood roosters and dogs, but we felt it made for an authentic village feel.

The location, the design, the fully stocked kitchen, and the bed was very comfortable

We cooked our own breakfast and had some too just some steps aways from the property. The recommended restaurants were fabulous and affordable. Restaurant Los Abuelos, we give them 5 Stars!

we had to request drinking water which we should not have to

Nice that it was in front of the river/beach, quiet (overall.)

Someone was using a saw machine below we=here I stayed, making way too much noise. No one told me about it. It would've been nice to have known ahead of time so I could have made the appropriate changes

Spacious and comfortable

La Posada Pacifica is incredible. The rooms are equipped with everything you need, so comfortable, the A/C works great but there are heaps of fans too, the kitchen is great, the wifi strong. But by far the best part is the balcony and the view. The river and mountains are always visible and we spent hours watching the summer storms. The location is perfect because you're away from the other tourists but just a short walk to everything in the town. Boca de Tomatlán is a paradise and this hotel was my favourite stay in all of Mexico.

Nothing!!

This is a great place for those looking to stay in Boca de Tomatlan. The town is not for everyone ... it's not an extension of Vallarta. The building itself is nice and the apartments are clean and well furnished and very comfortable. There are cooking utensils, a barbecue upstairs, and the hosts are great people !

I don't recommend staying a long time there. There's really no reason to stay in Boca de Tomatlan for more than a few days to access the beaches to the south - which are amazing. But it's easy enough to stay in Vallarta and take the bus for 10 pesos and do the beaches for the day either by hiking or taking the water taxis. The problem with the town is that there are really no good markets to shop. There is a carneceria though and a little market with everything you need. There's zero else to do in the town with no beach. So a few days is all you need.

Fantastic locale. My son and I really enjoyed this place! Being in a Mexican village of about 600 people was an amazing experience. Sitting on the balcony and just watching the locals was one of our favorite activities. The owners were very kind and basically let us be. Would highly recommend this place if you're not into the big resorts and just want quiet. Definitely plan on returning. Thank you very much for making our holiday great!

Nothing

Beautiful location with the river for fresh water cool down and the ocean/beach very close by

the dogs barking in the middle of the night did not help for a restful sleep

Just a spectacular location and view... loved the hammock

I liked the balcony, the room layout, and the common area upstairs/outside. A water jug and kitchen supplies were ready. We didn't have to ask for anything. The host was helpful. You have to knock at the door.

Nothing I can think of.

All the comforts of home! We loved the view of the river and the proximity to the beach and other activities.

We had a very positive experience staying at the Posada. I can fully recommend this accommodation! We stayed in the apartment with the two separate beds on the middle floor. It had excellent views from the balcony on to the river. The kitchen was well equipped, the fridge was big and had a freezer. The internet worked great, so dont worry about there not being a connection or that it might not be good. We used an Uber from PV to get there and Indriver (similar to Uber) to travel back to the airport in PV (300 pesos). Cynthia is a great host and will help you with any questions that you might have! Oh, and the rooftop terrace is big, has a sunbeds and a jacuzzi size pool to cool down in and a bbq area (and a full kitchen). The advertisement and the pictures dont do the Posada justice, the ratings however do! Dont hesitate and please book this accommodation in Boca di Tomatlan. Neither of them will disappoint you in any way!
