Hotel Amaca

My wife and I have stayed at Amaca many times. The rooftop pool & bar and the room’s private patios are a relaxing treat.

Having no children, I enjoy the tranquility Amaca offers as an adults only property (No offense to kiddos!) while still being a short walk to Vallarta’s shops and restaurants.

I especially appreciate the private parking and super friendly & helpful 24hr staff for safety and local recommendations.

It appears the owners or managers have been renovating and the new decor looks great with a clean, stylish boho meets modern esthetic.

I’ll definitely return as I have never had anything but a great experience there.

Very nice roof top pool, and the bartender is just amazing, that view is priceless, the rooms are very comfortable. Location is also perfect… not in the middle of all the action but not far either just a 2 block walk and you will get all the action you need.

Such an amazing stay! The location is excellent! The service is unbeatable and the most comfortable beds EVER! The sheets are super soft. I cannot say enough about this hotel! First time staying here and for sure not the last one! We stayed for 10 nights, and we want more!
Thanks for such a great vacation! We'll see you soon

Wonderful simple hotel. Clean. Friendly staff. Always going over and beyond to satisfy. Rooftop pool and Bar AMAZING. Steps from the action. They surely made a repeated guest out of me! See you soon.

Hotel pequeño, limpio, ubicado en la zona romántica cerca de playa los muertos, muy tranquilo el sitio, desde la alberca puedes ver los atardeceres de Vallarta. El personal bastante amable, personas con dificultad de movilidad deben considerar que no tiene elevadores

Great hotel, great bar service. Friendly, but just wish you could bring your own beverages. I understand the bar is supposed to help generate employment but it should still be the guests choice who’s paying to stay there if they want to pay premium prices for drinks. Wish when I booked the hotel it told me the pool would only be restricted to bar service during peak times.

Charming little place with warm and helpful staff, working everything (AC, water heater, etc), wonderful view and comfy bedding. Recommend

Hotel is ok for the price. No hot water, toilet wouldn’t flush, and the pool was freezing. Friendly staff and view from the rooftop was pretty.

Hacia ya tiempo que quería venir a este lugar. Es muy tranquilo.
El personal super amable.
Las habitaciones super cómodas

Personal amable, bar con hora feliz y deliciosas bebidas, hermosa vista y una alberca en la terraza.

Íntimo pero a la vez cerca de todos los sitios de interés del centro de Puerto Vallarta. Hay que subir escaleras, pero las vistas y el sitio vale la pena.

Excelente instalaciones. La ubicación está genial. Como dato adicional es un hotel PARA ADULTOS, esto no quiere decir que haya degenere pero si llegan personas LGTB y la fiesta se pone padre y no es para personas de mente cerrada.
Volvería sin pensarlo!

Está muy lindo y cerca de la playa, no lo recomiendo para personas de la tercera edad o con alguna discapacidad, no cuentan con rampas ni elevadores.
Tiene una piscina en la parte de hasta arriba donde puedes contemplar de la puesta del sol. ¡Fantástico!

Exelente vista, trato super amable y puntual de su personal solo detalles estético y Su mal punto es que no tiene elevador

Be prepared to climb lots of stairs. This hotel is a tranquil oasis over-looking the bay, high above the beach.

RENTERS BEWARE If you complain to the host about anything at all they will write a fraudulent negative review about you in an attempt to slander you. DO NOT STAY HERE, AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I have been to most countries in Central and South America including Mexico over 20 times and this is probably the worst hotel for the price I have ever stayed in. Save your money and go with a condo closer to the beach in old town.

The first noticeable thing about the room was the large swarm and trail of ants going from the window to the dresser and the second bed. This wasn’t a normal “third world bug problem” but a huge amount of ants swarming what was likely uncleaned surfaces. There were also a fair amount of gnats on the dresser and floor in the room.

I checked out the bathroom last and upon entering was surprised by the strong smell of feces. From the very strong sewage smell in the bathroom I suspect that this place has a sewer backflow problem that comes up through the open shower drain.

The shower also did not look liked it had been cleaned in ages and appeared to have mildew on the tile and the grout. It reminded me of the nasty floors of a college dorm shower. Were not picky (my husband walked around town barefoot) but it was gross enough that my husband and I wore our sandals while showering here just in case. I know that sounds crazy but between the smell and the look, we felt it wasn’t worth the risk.

The toilet also had a flushing problem where it actually “erupted” water in a bidet style out onto the floor every time you flushed it. We learned to leave the lid down when flushing.
The hill from the beach up to the hotel was very steep (if you haven’t been to Puerto Vallarta before, think 2 blocks of San Francisco stereotypically steep hills) so it we took an Uber most of the time. This extra $5-6 round trip 4-5 times a day further added to the cost of the hotel making it even much of a worse value.

Nothing was good about the location. It was on the top of the hill near the main highway without any restaurants, shopping, stores, or markets nearby. It is not in a location that you would want to stay to hang out in the area and enjoy Puerto Vallarta. You would want to walk a ways or take a taxi to any eating or activities further adding to your vacation costs. It would be better to spend the same amount and stay a block off the beach and save yourself all of the wasted headache, time, and money of transportation. Enjoy your vacation relaxing instead of wasting your time on this place.

Furthermore, the host is a complete liar and will disregard your check-out and check-in times so that she can “go home early. ” Host tried to trick us into checking out early at 11. When we refused and left to eat breakfast she was in a bit of a fit when we returned to give her the keys. We had spoken to the host before checking in and she said that she would watch our bags until 4PM when our flight was going to leave. This policy is was also posted on the listing and is reported by many other reviews. When we went to do this she refused to watch our bags and flat out lied that the “hotel does not do this. ” When we confronted her that she approved it before, it was approved at check-in, and it is listed as a service on the listing, she continued to lie and let it slip that she doesn’t want to watch our bags because she “wants to go home early. ” We later found out that she had a check-in scheduled for 4PM that I, myself, had to let in because this host “wanted to go home early. ” This host puts herself above her guests and will leave you locked out of the building so she can go home early. She will then lie about it and post fraudulent reviews against you on airbnb (or other booking sites) if you complain.

It was a completely horrible experience staying here. I would strongly recommend avoiding this disgusting and rude hotel and host at all costs.

Todo limpio, excelente atención. Solo de sugerencia, para la época de diciembre y enero calefacción en la alberca, agua super helada.

Muy buen precio e instalaciones. Está cerca de la playa pero hay que subir muuuuuchas escaleras, si tienen problemas de salud/rodillas/presión consideren otra opcion. Es pet friendly y el penthouse y vista son muy buenas

Muy buen servicio, buena ubicación, puedes ir y venir caminando ya que esta cerca de la zona romántica, sin problema de inseguridad.

Esta comodo sin embargo en mi habitación no funcionaba el foco y no tenian uno nuevo para reemplazarlo
