I shouldn't be posting this review because the rooms I want will probably be taken from now on. First, a little bit about myself. I am a budget traveler. PVR was my final desitnation on a three week trip of Mexico. Up to this point I stayed at $20 -$25 per night budget hotels / hostels. I decided to splurge... more

I recently celebrated my b-day at the Tropicana with a group of 30 people, friends & family. we had a fantastic time! The staff took excellent care of us and we were all very pleased. The hotel is located in the heart of old PV, the "romantic zone" and everything is in walking distance, safe to walk around too, I... more

Excellent location, great views. I booked a Superior Room, and it still had a rock hard bed, bad air conditioning, sewage smells in the room, no remote controls for the TVs. Front desk staff are uniquely and infuriatingly anti-hospitality oriented. When I arrived, made me walk several blocks to an internet cafe to print proof that I had paid Expedia,... more

The superior suites are nicely and newly redone. Hotel is located right on the beach in the Romantic Section of Old PV towards the south side of Los Muertos Beach just prior to the beginning of the hill leading to Vallarta Shores or Meza Del Mar. The hotel was in the process of installing 2 new elevators as of late... more

I booked the Tropicana as I knew other people would be staying there for the same wedding. The hotel ended up putting us all on the same floor which was unexpected because we had booked through different sources. The staff were very friendly and helpful, given that it was VERY slow in PV due to the Swine Flu scare, there... more

I booked my trip to Puerto Vallarta and the Tropicana hotel as a last minute special 4 days before departure and got an amazing deal. Keeping that in mind I wasnt expecting much in the way of accomodation and I was proven right! The hotel is older and basic which is fine but the room assigned to me was an... more

The timing of my visit must have been perfect. Just after the spring break crowd but just before the Mexican nationals visited before Easter. Nothing extravagant about the room (448) but it was perfectly clean, extremely quiet, and the hotel seemed almost empty which may account for the $70/night rate. On the edge of the zona romantica which attracts the... more

You can't beat the location of this hotel in old town PV. It is about as far south as you can get before going up the hill towards the highway. It is in a somewhat quieter part of town (because it is up the hill from most of the restaurants and downtown attractions, but it is easily within walking distance... more

We only stayed one night, but it was a good time. The service was amazing as they basically waited on you hand & foot. The bartender was fun and gave us some good deals that we were able to enjoy right in the pool. The rooms were nice, a bit old style but were comfortable and served the purpose. The... more
