The Paramar Beachfront Boutique Hotel - Downtown Malecon
On the beach, beautiful view. Misael at the front desk was so helpful in booking us extra days. Very close to shopping. Pool was clean and well managed and just upstairs on the rooftop! Breakfast was complimentary and delicious. I would highly recommend staying here.

Loft Hotel Malecon Vallarta
Internet in the room was slow. We found a toenail in the bed-ew. Pool was small. Good location, lots of food/drink options nearby, beach was a block away, staff was very nice, restaurant was good. 30 minute walk to Zona Romantica. 10 minute walk to nightclubs. We’d stay there again.
