“Charming ambience with modern, comfortable rooms and excellent WiFi in a great Old Town location!”

We enjoyed our spotless, reasonably-priced, updated room with friendly and helpful staff at the welcome desk in this gem of an old-fashioned hotel in a very good location in Old Town. For those who prefer the cobblestone streets and lively, noisy ambience of this neighbourhood, with terrific little restaurants like Macareno's, La Ruta, Rico Coffee (best coffee in Old Town, imo) and too many others to list, plus funky bars like Salty Caesar's, Villa Del Mar would be a great choice. There are suites with kitchenettes for long term stays but they are highly prized and difficult to get, we were told by a reliable resident source. Our standard room has a firm but comfy bed, nice pillows, a balcony with trees growing up to the second floor so all sorts of birds land on the branches an arms' length away, and a wonderful big shower, modern toilet and a big sink and vanity separate from the shower and toilet room. A brand new dresser and clothes hanger were installed while we were here with upgrades ongoing it seems. All good. There is a sweet set of rooftop decks, two for the true sun lizards at the top and a huge one running the length of the building with flowers and plants, chaises lounges, picnic table and other amenities so that people can take a break from day trips and the busy world outside. For those of us who need to connect for work and/or family reasons there are 3 internet boosters so there is very good to excellent internet connection too. Best of all, hardworking, friendly maids and front desk staff who are so genuinely helpful and welcoming to us. We don't know if we'll be able to return to PV but if so, we'd come back here in a flash. The only thing I would add to give it 5/5 would be a small but deep dip pool...

“Good budget stay in a legit Mexican neighborhood”

This was my second stay at the Villa del Mar. If you are looking for a nice, budget stay in a traditional Mexican hotel this will be the perfect place for you.

This was my second stay at the Villa del Mar. If you are looking for a nice, budget stay in a traditional Mexican hotel this will be the perfect place for you. It is near many restaurants/food stands/convenience stores. Short walk to the beach. No fridge, but the housekeepers can track down a foam cooler for you. I was here during the tail end of Easter and although it was busy it was never loud. I stayed in room 37 which had a balcony which was in the shade during the afternoon. Great people watching! If you’re not spoiled and looking for luxury, you will be fine with the Villa del Mar. They supply bathroom towel, tp, soap, shampoo, and one small bottle of water every day. Nice view from the roof too!
