Okay....we have stayed at the San Marino Hotel 12 times, sometimes twice or 3 times in 1 year. By all STAR standards it is what you see a 2 or 2.5 star hotel, BUT the location is to die for right at the pier...(possibly still under reconstruction) on Los Muertos beach, steps away from awesome restraunts bars and shopping! At... More

In the heart of the "better" part of PV, the wonderful gay district, the San Marino is a short walk to everything. Prices are very good, the rooms are clean and spacious. The elevator, well, I preferred the stairs, I'll just put it that way. We had a oceanfront room with an amazing view of the beachstrip, a spacious balcony... More

Hard to find much nice to say other than that it's on Los Muertos beach. The elevators were so filthy, it made my skin crawl. Not even a face cloth in the bathrooms (junior suites no less). The safe in the room had no side on it so it was useless. The ocean view suite railings are a 4 ft... More

San Marino is right on the beach and is all-inclusive. The staff are awesome and the food is "OK". More

I am shocked to read some reviewers who say the food was great at San Marino - I dont know what they were eating, but the food at this hotel is unacceptable. Period. Hot dogs in mango sauce and deep fried bacon along with charbroiled shish kebobs are not exactly something one can eat. I am not a picky eater... More

I just returned last month from yet another trip to Puerto Vallarta and stayed at the San Marino ( 8 times) once again.On this trip I was accompanied by two buddies. How wonderful to be welcolmed back by the staff - the front door men (Angel and Pedro), the front desk clerk, the barmen ( Manuel, Enrique)and the waiters (... More

We stayed at the San Marino for our vacation and enjoyed every day. I would return to this hotel in a heartbeat! The staff was marvelous and everyone was so helpful. Employees who help on arrival, Luis on the front desk was wonderful and very accommodating as were the others who also worked on the front desk. Angel and Pedro... More

I know a lot of people who have stayed at the San Marino, and had decent things to say about it, though they also qualified that the food wasn't good but the location is great. So, I knew the "all inclusive" package wouldn't be stellar, and gave it a try based on the location and the fact that so many... More

Once again we stayed at the San Marino, after a superb flight with Air Canada, we were welcomed back to our home away from home..staff pleased to see us and called us by name...check-in no problem...the rooms we had requested were ready for us. This year we decided to treat ourselves to an ocean front Junior Suite...worth every cent....the patio... More
