Casablanca Resort

"This is an excellent resort. it is well managed with a friendly, competent staff. The suites are clean, and well furnished, There is a good sized pool for swimming but child safe. The beach is right there and shopping is just around the corner. It has a good restaurant. The resort is an hour north of Puerto Vallarta, Far enough away from the burger crowd."

Casa Liquen

"Casa Liquen is a special place with an appealing Mexican artsy/bohemian architectural spirit--just the right size with earthy thoughtful design and layout, plus lovely plantings. It felt like an oasis. Our room was spacious and light-filled with a very comfortable bed and pillows, kitchenette, and spacious bath. We especially loved the large wooden shutters that were a perfect balance of light, air, and privacy. The shared spaces were wonderful, too--the pool and shared lounge/dining space, rooftop for morning coffee and ocean views, and lovely space for group yoga or as a private workout space. The location is ideal--steps from the beach and the small village of Chacala. What made it most unforgettable was the feeling--while we had complete privacy, Casa Liquen also felt like staying with family and in someone's home. The owner, Adrianna, is the heart of it all--warm, intuitive, and deeply connected to the community, offering thoughtful recommendations and linking us with wonderful local guides. It's the kind of place that stays with you and if we return to Chacala, Casa Liquen is the only place we would consider."

Bungalows Flamingos

"Beware! Got disrespected for 100 pesos! This is after paying and getting change for my purchase. Not the first time buying something at this place either. This last time I went in and purchased 3 things. I paid for my order and went to sit down at one of their tables. Moments later I was approached by a man who works there asking how much I paid. I was demanded to pay 100 more pesos and that I was a guest in this country. This was an extremely sour interaction! If your employees are not properly trained on pricing items do not take it out on your customers or try and threaten them."
