In Oct. 2011 I returned to Puerto Vallarta. It has been over 30 years that I had first visited this quaint, small fishing village, yea right!!!! I picked this Hotel for its location and since I travel on a budget the price was right for me. This Hotel is located between Old Puerto Vallarta and New Puerto Vallarta in the... More

We stayed at the El Pescador for 2 weeks in February. This was our 3rd time staying here. The view and the location are awesome! Make sure you ask for an ocean view room so you're not looking at old buildings across the street! The view on the ocean side is great. We were on the 3rd floor so was... More

Great place to stay given the location on the beach and only a short walk to the malecon.The breakfast was fine but would even be better if fresh fruit were available.The room was clean and had a great ocean view.The staff were quite pleasant and eager to please.The cleaning staff always had a smile and are certainly worth a good...

This is a basic older Mexican hotel which is well located on the beach and 3 blocks from the Malecon. The rooms are clean, the service is good, the Wifi is fast, and I think it is good value for the price. I would recommend an oceanfront room. The only drawbacks are that the free breakfast is not very good,... More

Just spent a few days in PV. If you are looking for a hotel with a beach uncluttered with cabanas, but walking distance to fun...then consider El Pescador. PV stretches for miles around the bay with the Malecon walkway sort of in the middle. El Pescador is 5 min walk to the Malecon. Very quiet, on the beach and you... More

This is a nice, clean, basic beach hotel. We had an oceanfront room with a balcony for $70. Fantastic view. The room was clean, the beds comfortable, and the AC worked. Location was great, just north of the Malecon. We stayed at the sister hotel, the Rosita, years ago and it was super loud. The El Pescador, though practically next... More

This hotel is quiet and low-key; many of the other guests were Mexican couples, families and business travellers. It is within walking distance or an inexpensive cab ride from attractions and restaurants. The included (hot) breakfast is quite good and the open-air restaurant which has a view of the pool and the beach is a pleasant place to sit. Service... More

This hotel is a great deal for what you pay. the breakfast was basic but no complaints. The pool was nice but the location is what really makes El Pescador a great place to stay More

Hubby and I stayed here Feb. 16-22, 2012 and our stay was exactly as we expected. We had an ocean view room, with a small balcony. Room was VERY basic, but clean. When we first arrived there was a sewer gas smell, but after the first 2 showers, and covering the drain in the shower, we did not have that... More
