We stayed by the end of April and we love it. Wasn't exactly designated as a gay-friendly place but we didn't have any problems with it and certainly respected other guests. We strongly recommend the ocean view or street view rooms, very clean and just the right space. The only flaws we did observe are that they don't have n... More

We stayed at the El Pescador for 2 weeks in March and we had a great time. Our ocean view room was basic but comfortable and kept spotless by Lola, who was friendly and struggled to understand my Spanish . The beach was clean and the best in the area. The breakfast is mainly Spanish and it could be varied... More

I spent one night here after arriving in PV. Good sized rooms, very basic, but clean. Excellent staff and good location. Easy walk to the Malecon. Breakfast is included, but a pretty limited selection and not too good. I didn't use the pool. but it is good sized.

Apparently my experience at El Pescador was quite different from the previous reviewer. Our towels were fine. Basic, like the hotel in general, but fine. And I NEVER in nine days there saw all the lounge chairs taken. Most of the time there were plenty available the times we were there. Anyway, this is a basic old-style Mexican hotel in... More

We stayed at the Hotel Pescador in Puerto Vallarta. I would never stay there again. The towels were thread bare. They state that they give you pool and beach towels - they want you to use the same towels in the room as you use for the pool. These towels had threads coming off all sides and were no larger...

We stayed at another hotel owned/operated by this hotel. It was Hotel Margarita. It is right next to El Pescador. They are both located right on the water and close to the "boardwalk". Lots of art and local shopping to explore.

This hotel is old but very well maintained. Very clean and the staff was always ready to help. Lovely beach and the pool area is very nice. Breakfast was included and like anything else some times was better than others but you never went hungry. From our deck we could see whales and dolphins. It is only about 3 blocks... More

This is my second visit to this hotel in 10 years and not much has changed. It earns it's 3 stars, but just barely. But at $65 a night for an ocean-view hotel room that is directly on the beach, it is a great value. The rooms are sparse with a television, phone, AC and very basic furniture. The beds... More
