Looking for an incredibly affordable, quaint, convenient hotel in the Zona Romantica in Puerto Vallarta? Well Hotel Posada de Roger is definitely your best bet.
Located just a few blocks from the beach, and within steps of some of the best shops and restaurants in Puerto Vallarta, Hotel Posada de Roger couldn't be more perfectly located (Freddy's Tucan, for instance, is an amazing breakfast restaurant right next door)!
The Zona Romantica has a more authentic feel than the Hotel Zone, further north, and offers a more real experience of Puerto Vallarta, and Hotel Posada de Roger makes it completely affordable to experience Puerto Vallarta's charm. The ambiance is second to none, with bright Mexican decor, rooftop pool, and an absolutely beautiful courtyard filled with greenery, trees, and even a fountain!
The rooms are kept clean and, though sparse (this is definitely not your all-inclusive type of resort hotel), they are quite comfy. The sheets/"comforter" are very thin, but it is Mexico after all, and it is quite warm, so it works well for staying comfortable at night. The bathroom was bare bones but got the job done. No room service, but there is wifi and the staff is incredibly helpful. Taxi's come by regularly and stop at the hotel, and the front desk will call you one, which will arrive within minutes, any time you need.
The main entrance is gated at night, and you have to buzz someone to let you in, but that made me feel safer, as a guest, knowing the hotel was secure and there was always staff on site. And, while I've read in many of the reviews here that it is loud and noisy, once my door was closed and the A/C was running, most, if not all of the noise, was drowned out.
Basically, I fell in love with Hotel Posada de Roger. I will DEFINITELY be coming back, and I encourage anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta to book here, as well!
