We just spent a fantastic week in the Lindo Mar Resort, which is perfectly located for quickly accessing downtown PV. It was our first visit to the resort, which we selected through an Interval International exchange. The resort is quaint and older, but the rooms have been renovated in recent years. Our understanding is that the entire resort (i.e., three remaining floors out of eight) will have been renovated by the end of the summer in 2020. We stayed in a renovated room on the 6th floor. Our room was well appointed and very clean. Even though we purchased bottled water, the room came equipped with its own bottled water tank and dispenser. The view was beyond amazing, and we began each day by immediately pulling back the shades to enjoy it. The staff (including Claudia, Marco, Maria Elena and Joel) was fantastic. Our sole disappointment was that Interval International told us that the individual units had their own separate laundry units, but that information was incorrect. We would definitely visit the resort again.

This was our second visit. Our prior visit was pre-Covid. COVID protocols were excellent this time. Masks were worn by all staff, hand washing was required prior to entering the building, shoe cleansing was required prior to entering, temperatures were checked prior to entering the building, hand sanitzer was available at multiple locations, social distancing was encouraged, and masks are required. The facility arranged for guests to have the Covid tests prior to return to the USA and to Canada. The tests took place at the resort and were eazy- peazy. Payment was made , in pesos, prior to the tests and directly to the lab. We appreciated this courtesy for guests!! Wonderful Customer Service. Daily housekeeping. Concierge Maria Elena is so helpful and kind. Love the units with views to enjoy. Well stocked units with a filtered water container. There is air conditioning and tv, but we used neither. Excellent housekeeping. Units are spacious and there are elevators in addition to stairs. Cabs are available at the entrance.. Pool and jacuzzi on site plus the bar and restaurant are on site. The facility sits on a small beach and the ocean. Spectacular!!! Just an over all terrific place to stay with great customer service , nice units, and amazing views!!!

Nice resort and the decor looks and feels like what Mexico should be. Pool is small and not many chairs, especially when groups throw their towels on them hours before they actually us them, however the staff will remove them if you ask them to. Restaurant is very good and food is better than average. Rooms are a bit dated but very clean and have everything you need. Beach is small and not usable when tide is in but very private and secluded. Overall resort was a nice stay but it is not walking distance to any amenities. You will need totake a cab but they are inexpensive and are available right across the street.

Recentl, I visited the Lindo Mar Restaurant a couple times for lunch and then once for dinner, always great service and good food. Waiters like Pino made it enjoyable. Was heading over today from our condo across the street at Costa de Oro for some breakfast and upon entering, was immediately approached by the facilities manager. He told us this was not for beach access, I explained we were going to the beach, obvious from the beach umbrellas we had, but first we were having breakfast in the restaurant. He told us we must leave our umbrellas upstairs and when we finished our meal, we would need to bring the receipt to basically "prove" we really ate there, you're kidding me right? This is how you treat patrons? Returning patrons nonetheless! I made a choice and chose not to patronize this establishment because of the manager's actions. Such a shame for the Restaurant staff as well as they did nothing to deserve it yet they are affected because of the manner with the poor people skills. I did find a delightful restaurant next door, had a great breakfast and then headed to the beach! Bottom line, the restaurant is great if you can get past the guard dog/manager!

Loved it! Enjoyed of a memorable morning, with a delicious Mexican breakfast (I had green chilaquiles) right text to the ocean, waves whispering and pampered with great service. The place is located very close from the “Romantic Zone” (you can even get by bus). We didn’t stay at the beach but it looks like a good spot to enjoy of a good sandy & salty day.

We love it here! Would live here if we could! The location and view are incredible and it's nice to have La Playita, with their smiling faces and good service, so nearby. As a previous traveler noted, the staff of both Lindo Mar and La Playita, are exceptional and feel like friends. Claudia always goes out of her way to accommodate our requests. We rent or exchange here and she always does her best to get us our favorite room, #606. Maria Elena, the concierge, does a great job. She makes sure that the Covid testing is well organized and results are distributed. Ivan is always friendly as he's setting out chairs and handing out towels. He even delivers water to our room. His English is outstanding, a statement true of much of the staff. Joel (not sure I got the name right) and the rest of the guys that round up taxis are always prompt and happy to help you on your way, The entire staff is as pleasant and helpful as one could every wish for. They are like family and most are still there every time we go back, which is as often as possible!!!! (My only desire is a little less noise from housekeeping in the mornings as the bedroom windows aren't so soundproof and we'll be glad when the renovation construction is finished!)

My husband and I stayed here for a week over New Years. It feels like old PV and we and a very nice stay. Our 1 bedroom unit was large, comfortable and recently remodeled with a very nice ocean view. The restaurant is old fashioned, inexpensive and actually quite good. The best part was the staff...all were great especially Maria Elena who made countless phone calls for us, really know the city and gave excellent recommendations never looking bothered by our many questions. We spent New Years eve next door at El Set where we were pleasantly surprised by both food and service and had a great time. The negatives for us at Lindo were the very small pool area and the beach being hardly useable du to the high tides.

My wife and I Just returned from a one week stay at Lindo Mar. We loved it, and we’ll definitely be returning in the future. Lindo Mar is a small resort with a friendly staff. Unlike many of the other “mega” resorts we’ve stayed at, the beach at Lindo Mar is a very short walk from the elevators. Our one-bedroom unit was on the 8th floor and the ocean view from the balcony was amazing. I saw another review that discussed road noise issues on the higher floors, but that wasn’t a problem for us. We slept with the fan on, and were never bothered by road noise. One of the benefits of the upper floors is the amazing view. Some off the lower floors look out into palm trees. Still beautiful I’m sure, but not as nice as our view. I loved the fact that we never had a problem getting a palapa, even when we didn’t head down to the beach until after lunch. Speaking of lunch, we ate at the resort’s restaurant, La Playita, twice a day. I had planned on heading to town for a few meals, but we loved the convenience of La Playita, and the fact that it’s located on the water certainly didn’t hurt. La Playita likely has one of the best locations in Puerto Vallarta, the staff was wonderful, and the prices were amazingly reasonable. La Playita has two happy hours each day (12 and 5). The only issue I had during my stay was the hard mattress on our bed. Although there was a thin mattress topper, it didn’t solve the problem for me. Hopefully Lindo Mar upgrades their mattresses, or the mattress toppers, before my next visit. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation. I would recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful vacation at a small resort with wonderful employees.

I posted this review for Lindo Mar, but somehow it got saved under "Playa Conchos Chinas". The review IS for LINDO MAR. The staff were friendly and attentive. I had read reviews stating otherwise, but that was not my experience. Was it because we were friendly and interacted with them, and tipped our bellman, server, bartender, room service/cleaning staff? Maybe, but everyone should do that! Old timeshare means large rooms and great proximity to the ocean. Feb2021 : Pool/hot tub/gym closed due to COVID restrictions, but cleanliness, health a priority to all of the staff. Easy, free parking. 2 x elevators worked well, as did the internet. 2 x happy hours a day. Some rooms renovated, others not.

Where do people from Hawaii go to vacation? No, not Las Vegas...shhhhhhhh, its Puerto Vallarta and we were sooo lucky to have found this little gem at LINDO MAR RESORT! We reserved a two bedroom for the week of Mexican Independence Day 2023 and couldn't not have been happier with the experience. First off, the location in Conchas Chinas was close enough to town to zip in for dinner or dancing and celebrations at the Plaza yet just far enough away to experience a mellower side, far away from the MegaResorts on the other side of Bahia Banderas. The accommodations were such a pleasant surprise. This is NOT a mega hotel, it is a lovely hotel built in the local style with two elevators servicing all 9 floors. The rooms are large and airy with bright furnishings and enormous baths. The kitchen is fully equipped and it was nice to be able to enjoy breakfast ensuite and make lunches ahead of adventures. Dinner and drinks are just downstairs at La Playita Restaurant and beach loungers and palapas available at the beach right below that. Loved it so much, we're going again twice in 2024.

Only if you like a very hard bed. They are concrete with a vinyl pad on top. But they won’t sag, and you wouldn’t have springs digging into your back, so maybe they’d be better than some sofa beds.
Most of kids activities won’t be at the resort
But Maria Elena is the one to ask- she is at the concierge desk every day except Friday and you can call her there +52-322-221-5511
