Villas Loma Linda

This is a small and quiet resort just a short walk down to the beach (ableit a long walk back up) and Old Town Puerto Vallarta. The rooftop infinity pool is beautiful, as is the view. I stayed for 3 years while living in central Mexico, so appreciated a more local and less tourist location and ambience.

Incredible. Not a traditional gringo resort. This hotel is set up in the mountains. We were one of 2 guests in perhaps 60 units. The pool was right outside our studio unit, and was all to ourselves.

This hotel is charming. You feel less like a tourist. The larger rooms had palapas and jacuzzi's on the balcony.

This hotel is not the ritz, but it is truely a taste of Mexico.

There are quite a few steps, and the hotel meanders around the existing rock face. Not for anyone with physical challenges or very young children...but don't be put off. Well worth it.

Cab rides were about $5, to the Malecon. About $3 to romantic zone. Romantic zone is walking distance (but returning up a steep hill).

We had an iquana living on our small patio, and visiting us along the pool foliage...spectacular sunsets coloring this and the other mountain's villas purple and red. Unbelievable. Highly recommend! Happy to give any more feedback!
