Good location cliffside, 2.5 k south of PV town proper, lots of bus service if you don't have a car. Every room has a great view of the ocean and pool. Interiors are Mexican-style tile, furnishings, and decor, not modern chrome and glass like the places in Nuevo Vallarta, but they are comfy, everything works, and bedrooms have AC. Rooms are kept spotlessly clean. The pool is beautiful but a bit small, with lounging space sparse and close together. Nice jacuzzi. Large beach towels are provided for guests. Their little beach area is pleasant, sandy, with lounge chairs and shade palapas to sit under. You can rent snorkel gear and kayaks from the hotel. Beach vendors are not many or bothersome. Entry into the water is sandy but is lined with rocks that have sea urchins on them--do not swim or snorkel near them or let the waves toss you into them or step on them! The water itself is beautiful and clear. In the area are lots of tide pools and pelicans.

I can't say the restaurant was very good. Expensive (for Mexico, though average for PV) with a lot of commercial food-service offerings. A decent chef salad was marred by thin "bleu cheese" dressing made from powdered mix; a burger was decent but the french fries had sat under the heat lamp way too long to be suitable for serving--considering we were among the only customers at that time, fresh ones should have been made for us. Proximity is its most desirable feature. WARNING: There are two "happy hours" per day, with 2-for-1 drinks. We all were taken aback at the strength of the margaritas; they made us all uncomfortably high, and one of us actually lost her lunch after two. I have encountered this before in Mexican beach resorts and it is said to be the mark of a margarita NOT made strictly with tequila but with grain alcohol. I can't say for sure whether this is what is used here, but just be careful and aware: you will not be able drive after one of these, let alone two, and that is not normal.

Although I can't recommend the restaurant food or the margaritas, overall I recommend the rooms, the staff, the location, and the amenities.

We recently stayed at the is resort. We have been owners of a week since the mid 80's. The staff is excellent! helpful, friendly, the best. From the front desk to the beach and towel manager. But the rooms need a good cleaning, the floor tiles in bathroom of our unit, very dirty. bulbs burned out, bathtube faucet broken. And the beautiful of water and beach and the waves... gone!! Instead are ugly skinny palm trees that look like any moment they wil break and crash to the pool deck! There is no shade at the the pool or around the pool area. They need a couple umbrellas and the trees gone! other than that is is a cute place! the restaurant is fantastic! right on the water with great food and service!

This place is charming. We just spent a week at this great little resort located south of Puerto Vallarta. It feels Mexican and has excellent Mexican service. The restaurant is located right on their pocket beach and is quite good. Our only problem was that the margaritas were too strong.

We just returned from two weeks at this lovely little resort tucked away on the beach in the Conchas Chinas area of Puerto Vallarta. If you are looking for marble, glass, chrome, activites, clubs...this is not your place. If you are looking for Mexican charm in a charming boutique hotel where every room is ocean front view then you have found a home. Lindo Mar has a wonderful staff including their concierge, Maria Elena, who will assist you with anything you need. The restaurant, La Playita, is located beach front and features resonably priced Mexican standards as well as some unexpected culinary treats. The restaurant is open to the public and I would totally recommend it for drinks and dinner at sunset. Saturdays and Sundays brunch is their well known Mexican buffet. Just tell your cab driver you want to go to Lindo Mar!
