Have stayed in 15 different resorts and condos in the last 10 years of going to Puerto Vallarta and this one is close to the top of the list. Place is quiet, grounds are beautiful, staff is wonderful and rooms are clean. We will return. Highly recommend.

Amazing place, highly recommend. Quick walk to town and beach. Suite was phenomenal with clean rooms, fully stocked kitchen and stunning views. We ate at the restaurant for many meals, great service and dishes were delicious. the front desk uses WhatsApp to communicate which I thought was very quick and convenient. The spa was also very nice. Overall would definitely visit again.

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!
