Amazing views, art in every detail. The grounds and gardens are like a hidden oasis. Our room was like a huge apartment, clean with panoramic views.

Breakfast was $25 USD for a very mediocre buffet. They charge the same price to non hotel guests and give them a day pass at the pool for that price. I was a bit surprised they charge their guests the same amount. This policy also makes the pool too crowded

Beautiful view, fantastic breakfasts and drinks, wonderful staff.

Toilet flush was a 3 or 4 at best in our unit. And there was a random leak on kitchen floor and around island at all times. The balcony outside our unit at neighboring building (not Marcela's fault or doing, but affected ambiance) had 2 dogs that were kept in deplorable conditions, a 3 ft disgusting balcony on 3rd or 4th floor of building. The poor dogs cried and barked desperately, they were fluffy dogs and their fur was matted and dirty, it was 103 F and +95% humidity. It was terribly sad. It needs to be addressed, it made my heart hurt for them and woke me every morning with their barking/crying. I felt terrible for them, it kinda ruined feeling relaxed :'(

This is our third stay at the Marcela. We love the proximity to the romantic zone and old town. It’s peaceful and very laid back. We are walkers and stairs are no obstacle for us. Plan on them you, are up above the highway. We exit daily from the lower gate. I’m in better biking season shape after a week here! Love the city views from here. The pools are awesome and the entire layout is artistic and beautiful. Food and drink from the bar excellent. Handy spa and small gym on site.

Given the highway below there is a fair amount of road traffic noise but it blends in With the urban vibe. If you want to walk out the door to the beach this isn’t for you.

Beautiful landscaped property at top of hill with well-kept and attractive gardens; super-clean and well kept. Lovely pools and view from pool over the bay; pools always well maintained and spotless. Steps and walk to city centre was easy. Staff couldn’t do enough for us! Very friendly, helpful and charming. It feels like you are visiting friends. Apartment style rooms were well appointed and well equipped. Excellent servicing of rooms as needed. Gorgeous views everywhere.

Perhaps offering some simple snacks from bar area/ restaurant.l would be nice.

The grounds are beautiful. So well done. Quiet place overall, away from the hustle and bustle just a few blocks away. Views are fantastic. Restaurant pretty tasty too and the pool side service and attention was great! Our unit, Verde, was huge! Loved that. Pretty much like a 2bd apartment!

Randomly, a leak occurred in unit above us (it wasn’t leaking into our place) but they started drilling loudly at 9am without letting us know. We were jet lagged still so it was a rude awakening. Wish we would have known prior, they mentioned they knew a day before they’d be fixing it. Also, the adjacent doors (they have shared units if wanted) were unlocked so people next to us walked into our place randomly while we were sitting there. The management more than compensated us for the troubles though, which was super nice. The beaches around area aren’t great, in December anyways, rough water, not blue, but warm.

The apartments are beautiful and well appointed. The on-site restaurant has delicious food. The pools are great. The whole property is beautifully landscaped. Very aesthetically pleasing.

The apartment we stayed in had an adjoining door to the next apartment so the living rooms are right next to each other. The guests in the adjoining apartment had a loud party late at night that was very annoying because the sound really carries through the door. The property is on a very steep hillside. Walking down to Los Muertos beach was easy but we needed to take taxis back up the hill. Easier if you are a younger person.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel in Puerto Vallarta. The accommodations were so beautiful, the service was top, and the location was perfect, walking just some minutes away from downtown The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. I highly recommend this hotel and would love to come back. It's true that the hotel is on a hill, so there's a short uphill walk from Downtown, but it’s manageable and you can also take a car or taxi. This might be a bit tricky for elderly guests, but the views and peaceful setting are worth it!

Grounds were great, a good restaurant, pool, spa and gym made the stay super relaxing. The walk to town was only 10-15 for a meal out or trip to the beach. Though it’s a decent climb back up to the hotel, I found the walk a nice way to keep active on our trip. The hotel all in all was really nicely decorated, very green, rooms were huge and very accommodating for our family of 5.

I think the cleanliness of the actual rooms could have been a bit better. The tile was dirty (which I think just accumulates grime over time). It probably would have bothered me less if we didn’t have a baby crawling on the floors.

We loved the outdoor adventure of staying in the Cave suite. It was a unique experience and made for great memories. Location of resort to zona romantica within walking distance provided many opportunities to explore the city and lots of restaurants. The restaurant at Marcela resort was very, very good! Every staff member we encountered were friendly and helpful. The pool and hot tubs perfect for exercise and relaxing the muscles after walking all day.

Property was beautiful and located in a great location. The room was very nice and spacious.

It would be nice to have staff on premise 24th a day. There are quiet hours posted but people did not follow them and were quite loud late at night. The hot water only lasted a few minutes one day and had to finish my short shower with cold water. My wife swears the room was haunted as there were strange noises seemingly coming from our room and when I got up to look nothing was there.
