This is a nice hotel right on the beach. Most of the suites face the ocean for great views. Our expedia reservation was upgraded (no additional charge) for our entire stay due to lack of inventory upon check in. The rooms do not have microwave ovens, so remember that if you want to bring back leftovers from dining out. The... More

We loved our stay at the Emperador. Hotel is older. It is not fancy, but the location is great. If you upgrade to a suite you won't be disappointed. The suites have nice sized balconies with great views of the beach and pier. They also have a kitchen. The regular rooms are small and have no view. The hotel is... More

We have stayed here several times. Our most recent stay started as a disappointment, only because of the misleading statements on their web site talking about upgraded rooms with pillow top mattresses and down comforters, etc. Although everything is exactly the same as 10 years ago, my wife and I love this place. The bed was not comfortable, but they... More

Rooms are clean, location is great. Beds and pillows are not that good had problems sleeping. Staff are incredibly friendly. More

I have stayed at many hotels in Puerto Vallarta and give the Emperador a 4 star for many reasons. It is not the newest nor is it the cheapest, and has a few short comings like parking issues if you have a car as well as no pool. The rest...if you have any experience in Mexico that wasn't a time... More

I needed a simple room for myself a few days after New Years. I didn't want to spend a lot of money, and the Emperador provided exactly that--basic digs on the cheap. I rented a simple room on the street side of the hotel--no kitchenette, no balcony, no view. But, as I said, that's what I was expecting. I actually... More
