I like to feel at home when I travel. I like to have an apartment and that is what it my room was and how I felt as soon as I entered the San Franciscan. Stayed for two blissful weeks. Beautiful salt water pool, garden areas with lots of quality furnishings to use my computer outside with the wifi. A... More

We are staying at the SanFranciscan now and love it. We can't understand the poor reviews posted by a couple of guests. Let me expand on this comment. First, the beds are extremely comfortable. They are Serta Posturepedic. i.e. they are FIRM. But, we were supplied with a soft cushionie mattress topper that we float on like a cloud. About... More

As a very seasoned traveller and an active user of Trip Advisor, I am amazed at the rating this so called resort has gotton on here. This place is far from a resort and for it's price point a complete rip off. First I will start with some positives, ths hotel is located in great location and the pool is... More

In no way is this place a resort of any type. We stayed for 2 weeks in a small one bedroom for $500 per week. Very basic. Think of it as you getting a new apt anywhere. A bit of cleaning and gathering basic items like soap, tp, shampoo, cleaning items and such. The per night price on the website... More

I have been coming to the San Franciscan for over two years. You could not ask for a better location. Unlimited restaurants, bars, shops and two blocks to the beach. I had a wonderful two bedroom unit that included everything you need to make your stay comfortable including purified water which is a bonus and the salt water pool was... More

I found the San Franciscan through friends and couldn't be happier with what I found. The location is perfect!! In Zona Romantica.(PV's "Old Town") you are within walking distance of shops, wonderful restaurants/bars and night life galore. 2 blocks down the hill to Los Muertos beach. It is safe and quiet. The rooms are clean, comfortable and well equipped. David,... More

My stay at the San Franciscan resort was too short so I have booked it for another two weeks in March. . I had an absolutely wonderful time. The room I rented was overlooking the the pool area and it was very peaceful and quiet, The pool has two fountains flowing into it that make a very nice background sound.... More

I was looking forward to our stay at the San Franciscan. The website boasted "luxury accommodations and world-class amenities". This was our third trip to PV, and we spent a little more on the San Franciscan than we had on hotels in the past. Our past hotels were decent, but we wanted to pamper ourselves on this trip. Unfortunately, the... More

San Franciscan is well located close to Los Muertos Beach and bustling Olas Altas. Our suite was very clean, including pristine white towels. It is a residence hotel, so there is no maid service. There are a few things to keep in mind if coming to the San Franciscan. Pack a beach towel, since the suite only has limited bath... More

Lived there from 4/2010 and 4/2011. Thought I was having heart attack and spent the night in the hospital. Ended up going to UCLA, everything O.K. David, the owner, can be a grouch, who can't, but visited me in the hosp. and emailed me when I was in the states. How many hotel owners do you know that will do... More
