The Marcela resort was an amazing destination in itself, with great food and beautiful surroundings, and a great pool area. It was relatively easy for two able-bodied people to walk to the Romantica Zone and back, as long as you are ok with a little exercise. The staff was exceptional, especially Oscar! I hope we are lucky enough to come back again!

We enjoyed our time as a family
Our stay was good, the staff was helpful and attentive to our request. Hotel is a bit old but with beautiful views. It is away from the hotel zone and crowds. The only down part was the walking up and down hill to get to the beaches definitely not up for ppl with bad knees. Overall our stay was pleasant and a nice time there.

This unique hotel promises an unforgettable stay. Imagine relaxing in spacious suites with stunning views of Puerto Vallarta. The convenience of in-suite laundry machines and dryers makes packing light a breeze. Explore Yelapa's charm and nearby beaches with ease – the hotel's location is ideal for adventurers. While navigating the property requires navigating stairs (the elevator doesn't service all floors) and there's almost non on-site parking (outside the narrow street), the very friendly staff goes above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. They'll even text you to see if you need room service or housekeeping! Perfect for those seeking a unique and comfortable escape, this hidden gem caters to families or larger groups with its spacious suites. I'm very grateful and I will come back with my whole family, finally found my hotel in Puerto Vallarta.

We stayed for 5 days at Marcela. What a gem! Small hotel, incredibly clean and spacious rooms. The views from your living area will blow you away!! Marcela gives you a vintage, unique experience. Lovely property on the hilltop. Two guest rooms per floor but you feel like the entire building is all to yourself. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Excellent restaurant food! 10 minute walk to the beach and half hour from the airport. Bring cash! Food & beverages are priced reasonable if not less expensive than the U.S. I cannot wait to return. We also ate at Kitty Cat and La Palapa down by the beach, but honestly the food at the restaurant is also well worth it. Thank you Marcela staff for an amazing experience!

The location was great for anyone willing to walk uphill a little bit--easily walkable to all the restaurants and the beach, but just up the hill, so it's more peaceful and quiet. Facilities were great and very spacious, with the only negative being 1 of our 3 bathrooms didn't have shower curtains. The staff was super helpful and nearly always accessible via Whatsapp!

Beautiful Hotel but with some issues
Upon first impressions the property is beautiful and the staff is very nice. A/C didn't seem to be working much at all. The A/C in the room didn't seem to work and it took about 5-6 minutes for the water to get even warm in the shower. The location is great in that it is close to everything in Zona Romantica, but very sketchy trying to cross the highway upon leaving the property. Also, the lack of an elevator or ramp to get out of the property is a miss as those steps do get old! Also the TV turned on but doesn't have smart tv capabilities and no cable, local channels, etc. Just a black screen. The staff gave some bad intel which unfortunately ruined one of my day's itinerary. All in all this could have been a great stay with a few small tweaks. Keep on working on those and this would be superb!

Lovely views but customer service is lacking.
First the pros: we rented a two-bedroom apartment-type set-up that was beautifully decorated in a Mexican folk-art type style: the views of the beaches and Puerto Vallarta were stunning. It's a large, spacious, comfortable setting. BUT the service leaves a lot to be desired. At least two of the days we were driven out by incredibly loud drilling and other construction noise, which went on most of the day. So much for being able to relax. No way to relax in the shower, as the water temperature was erratic and impossible to regulate. And the maid service apparently is only available in the morning, so if you feel like sleeping in and lounging around after cooking brunch in the well-stocked kitchen, you will not get your room cleaned or the towels replaced. I think we only got maid service once during the five days. Very bizarre policy. And speaking of towels, our place was very well stocked with towels of all shapes and sizes, but they make you sign a paper stating you will not take any towels to the beach. A cheap and aggravating policy, as then you are forced to buy towels at the beach or do without. All in all, all of these annoyances really add up.
