I am currently staying at this hotel...location is excellent near the Malecon and any shopping, restaurants, etc. About 3 or 4 blocks away from where the noise is from traffic, bars etc, and if you have an ocean view room all you can hear and see is waves and beach. This hotel is more south than most hotels in the... More

I knew from reviews this would be a bare bones hotel. Our particular room - 352 - had a toilet that leaked around the base giving the bathroom a sewer smell. I never was able to turn on the cold water in the shower, but it wasn't a problem because the hot water never got that hot. The room was... More

First of all, you should know that El Pescador is not a resort hotel. It is an older building in town close to everything, Shopping, Restaurants, Malecon. The rooms are very clean, the staff friendly. I did not feel any discomfort with security. The greatest thing about this hotel is the VIEW (TO DIE 4)!! We stay in Nuevo Vallarta... More

If you don't want to walk a lot or take a taxi to get to the active Zona Romantica or old town, don't stay here. This hotel is in quiet area a few blocks north of the north end of the Malecon (although occassionally guests can be noisy). There are some good restaurants hidden on side streets not far from...

Friends, if you're the type that likes the sterile surroundings of say, a Hilton, you won't enjoy this hotel. However, if you like waiting a Mexican minute, laughing at the obvious, and like the thought of a million dollar ocean view for less than $60, then this is the place for you. This little gem is 3 blocks from the... More

We stayed at El Pescador for 3 nites in mid January, choose the hotel because of these reviews, the location & the price $70 US incl breakfast. Our expectations were only to have a place to sleep close to town, and a pool to lay around during the day. Pros: close to town, walking distance to many restaurants and night... More

I stayed at El Pescador over the Christmas Weekend and once again am so impressed with this gem on the beach. Since 2005 I have stayed here 7 or 8 times and not once have I had a negative experience. The Staff are friendly and handles every request I have with a smile and patiently suffer through my limited Spanish... More

Friendly staff, clean rooms. Perfect ocean view, and easy access to the beach and all local necessities. Large supermarket with ice, fresh food and an ATM is only a block away, and a Taxi is always waiting at the corner by the supermarket. This hotel is within easy walking distance to the Malecon and main shopping area. No tub, showers... More

We have stayed here several times and the service is consistent. As most of the other people have mentioned it has a very friendly staff and ocean front rooms really are (not just a peak a boo). Breakfast is still included in the rate. This property is owned by the same family that own the Rosita Hotel (opened in 1948)... More
