I stayed at this hotel form Dec 26, 2010 to Jan 2,2011. And when I booked the hotel they told us that it was located close to beach and it is but not a good beach, they also told us that is very close to downtown (malecon) but is NOT, is like 30 min walk from the hotel to the beginning of the malecon which was too far for me. At the end we end up getting a car rental that it worked perfectly for us, because we end up going to some nice beaches (close distance by car) and had a lot of fun. There were two good restaurants near by OCHO TOSTADAS (two blocks from the hotel) and you can get directions on the lobby of the hotel and one TACO stand located outside the hotel which was delicious its called “EL TIZOK”. Other than that you have to go to the malecon or downtown area to get the good stuff.I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL ONLY OF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A RENTAL CAR. Other than that stay close to downtown. Another think I didn’t like was the attitude of the front desk people both ladies from both shifts, you will now what I am talking about as soon as you get to the hotel on the other side, the bellman its one of the nicest person I ever meet.



Hope my review is useful

We had a very great deal for fly ticket so we tried to find a cheap hotel in Puerto Vallarta (during Easter Holidays!) . So we stay at Suites del Sol and we was so surprised ! The hotel is clean, the rooms are big (like suites) and it's well located. Juste 1 block to the beach and near dowtown. You can do everything at footwalk but if you want to go downtown faster, there's the public bus for 1$ who stop just in the front of the hotel. The staff are friendly and a lot of them speak english. The pool is not big, but very clean! We didn't eat at the restaurant of the hotel, but there's a lot of cheap place to eat in town (so good.....i love Mexican food). And it's near a supermarket. The only bad thing it's the noise because there's a lot of circulation on the boulevard in the front of the hotel.

So for the price, it was higher that we expected!

Stayed in Hotel Suites Del Sol for 2 nights in March 2010. Definitely enjoyed the stay and would go there again if we got the same deal. During our visit, a room for 2 persons was at the promotion rate of 489 pesos (including taxes). You will not find such quality/price ratio anywhere else around I believe. It is considered a 4 stars hotel but is probably more like 3 stars with the aging. I'm not sure I would choose this hotel at the regular fee of 900 pesos for a room though. I guess we were lucky with the promotion rate.

Our room on 3rd floor was clean. Air conditioning was working fine and not noisy. Mini balcony to hang clothes to dry. The pool is great and the lobby has a nice style (museum-like furnitures all around). The style of the floors with separation and plants is wonderful. I believe there is WIFI in the lobby as we have seen several people with laptops there.

Staff was helpful and nice and even kept our luggages for few hours after our checkout so we could go around town before going back to airport.

Since the hotel is located close to road (and intersection), you will most likely hear trucks /cars once in a while. It did not ruin the stay for us.

It is located about 10 minutes by bus from downtown. Bus pass right in front of the hotel every 2 minutes. Around the hotel you will find a few restaurants, pharmacy, stores, etc. It didn't really bother us to be away from downtown as the buses are very frequent and couldn't be more simple to get around.

I read this was a four star hotel but I would give it only two stars. I booked seven nights from Dec 27 to Jan 03 because I wanted to spend New Years in Vallarta, having been there three times before. The Lobby is very nice with interesting decor. The first sign of trouble was when I checked in the receptionist seemed to have trouble finding my reservation or something else she quietly spoke to someone in the office, then told me my room was being cleaned. i waited about 15 minutes. Then the bellman took me to my room which was on the fourth floor. It was in need of some remodeling. This is an old hotel and my room had old chiped furniture a hard mattress and balcony doors that did not close completely allowing noise from the six lane street to enter my room. It smelled like mold. The location is much to be desired of, it is located about a good twenty minute walk from the boardwalk (malecon) no good restaurants nearby, and dangerous streets to cross. The previous three hotels I have stayed at were better than this one and in better locations. One of he receptionists seemed helpfull the other one not very friendly or willing to help when I resquested a quieter room. I will never stay at this hotel aqain and would not recommend it to anyone I know. The view of my first room was of what looked like a dump accross the street see pic. Also the elevators were very small and after looking at how the hotel needed maintenance I was afraid to use the elevators thinking that they were also in need of maintenance so I would walke up and down four flights of stairs.
