We booked a room in the Old Casa for our one night in PV.

First I'll mention the good things about the Casa Corazon. The staff was polite on the phone and followed up with email when I made the reservation. The staff was also kind during check in and check out, and was free to converse in Spanish or English. The breakfast was great- lots of fresh fruit, eggs, beans, juice, coffee- and a full view of the ocean from the large dining area terrace.

And now for the reasons that I would not recommend the CC (we were in the Old Casa). Although not difficult to find with the aid of a map, the location was a bit far from the bus line, and not well marked once you get there. The neighboring hotel had a loud dance party that was still going at 11pm+ when we went to bed. The locks on the doors were no more than a push botton type doorknob, and there was no safe in the room. I realize that no one out there wants our dirty laundry; but passports, ipods, pesos- I don't need a vault, but this room did not feel secure. Also- no fridge, no waterbottles, no beach towels, no pool, no seating other than the beds. The room was clean, but everything was well worn- including the bathroom, linens, bed, walls. The plumbing worked fine, and there was a fan on the cieling. The hotel is a few blocks up from the beach, but no beach property.

The price was fair for a room that had a view of the ocean and a breakfast. However, I am glad that we moved on for the rest of our trip- as our room wasn't too comfortable or in a great location.

I stayed there during the official Off season so the price was great. My room was clean, the breakfast yummy. The view and balcony: priceless.
Chano, at the front desk , was helpful and welcoming. The party noise in the area stopped before 12AM, which is doesn't in some other areas. I will return.

Yes, the rooms are extremely spacious, the breakfast is nice and it is a very good location. We only made the mistake of coming there over New Year's and into the first week of January. High Season. Which meant that the adjacent establishments were in full celebration mode (direct neighbour Hotel Blue Chairs with a daily and extremely noisy roof-top gay Tea Dance, the Beach Bar with its DJ and non-stop Disco Thumping and the Mexican Bar next door with overpoweringly loud Salsa music). The soundscape was impressive and inescapable. After a few days we were close to tears.

To complement the audioscape our room had an extreme odour problem. The lampshades were grey with mildew and the bed smelled terrible. Pointing this out to management evoked a disinterested shrug of the shoulders. Considering the fact that mildew is not only an aesthetic but also a severe health problem we found this reaction quite unsatisfactory. Our next door neighbours had also detected the mildew problem but were content to bomb the place with incense and cover their smelly bed with beach towels.

It it hadn't been for the noise and the smell, we might have spent a very nice vacation at this beautiful part of the bay and in easy walking distance of restaurants, cafes and the old town center. As it was, $ 95 per night for this room was way too much.

The Hotel was fine. But do not ask Earnest to call a cab for the ride to the airport. We made the mistake of asking and he organized us a ride and twice told us that he got a cab for only 1000 pesos. When the cab picked us up he said to us in front of the driver,do not pay more than 1000pesos. The next day we were told by friends who departed the next day that Oscar arranged a cab to the airport for them for 150 pesos.
We are on PV often nut never again at Casa Corazon
