Top Puerto Vallarta Hotel Reviews

Hotel Tropicana - Near Olas Altas Street

Hotel Tropicana - Near Olas Altas Street

8/10 Good
"We only stayed one night in Puerto Vallarta before heading to Nuevo Vallarta. The Tropicana was nice, we booked a superior room withe pool view but to our surprise was also a partial ocean view. We did not use the pool since it was raining that evening. We look forward to staying there again for a longer stay in the future since we loved how close the hotel is to the ocean."
