We just got back from a very relaxing week in P.V. thanks to the Terraza Inn. Upon arriving Cecy (property Manager) did everything she could possibly do to make our stay here comfortable and stress free.

We booked last minute and Cecy made sure that we had her second favourite room in the hotel (her favourite was allready booked). The rooms are all very unique and different. We were in room 6 this time and found it to be extremely clean , bright and airy.

The rooms have been redone recently by the new Canadian owners. They have far exceeded standards for any of the hotels in the Zona Romantica area. The furniture is brand new and so are the beds. The matresses are new Serta perfect sleepers. The linens were clean and fitted the beds. They are by no means percale but more than adequate.

The kitchenette area had a new fridge, coffee maker and toaster oven. The only suggestion would be to put in a microwave, more cutlery and dishes.

The bathroom was extremely clean. With new tiles and pedestal sinks and more than adequate towels.

We did not experience any foul smells or mustiness in our rooms.

This is our 16th time to P.V. and Old Town and have stayed at pretty well all of the hotels on and off the beach.

We have had bad experiences with bad smells and hard beds in our travels here in P.V. but NOT at the Terraza. We were down last month for 2 weeks at another hotel around the corner and slept on old mattresses on concrete slabs and gagged at the smell of sewage. This place is the best we have found .

The grounds are very lush and well kept. The maid did a great job every day. She washed our dishes and swept and washed the floor everyday. A small tip of a few dollars every day is well appreciated and deserved. We asked for a vase so we could buy some fresh flowers. Cecy gave us a choice of a vases and had the maid wash it and had it in our room when we came back with the flowers. Other hotels we had to use the water pitcher. We had 2 loads of laundry to be done. The maid washed and folded our laundry and had it back in our room within 3 hours.

There is no pool on the property, but that is not a priority to us since the beach is just a block away.

Great Location close to the Blue Chairs on Los Muertos Beach , restaurants and clubs .

The stairs are not for people that have disabilities, but do give this place charm with the central courtyard and lush gardens.

This was our favourite place to stay in Old Town P.V.
Before leaving we booked our next holiday in Feb 2007 for 2 weeks.

Job WELL DONE Terraza Inn.

This Inn is built on the side of a steep hill but is only one block from the beach and has 10 rooms on 5 levels going up steep stairs. It is nice to look at and the rooms are large. Ours (#3 and 4)had a deck but no view of the ocean. There are apparently views from the top 2 units. The price was right at $75 per night USD. The best feature of this hotel is location, especially if you want to be near the gay beach at Blue Chairs which is a 5 min walk away. The beach is also arguably the nicest one in PV. The staff at the hotel were very nice. The cleaning was substandard though.

The 2 main problems made this someplace we would not return to: the tiny uncomfortable bed and the smell. The beds were billed as Queen but definately were doubles at best. Every room has the same sized beds. We could not fit 2 people anywhere near comfortably. I am 6'2" and my feet hung out the end of this hard pedestal style bed by at least 6 inches. The sheets were also rough and thread bare and barely wide enough to cover the width of the bed. There was a strong and pervasive musty smell in our room that was present in the other rooms we visited as well. It was present regardless of use of the Airconditioning and mitigated only partially by keeping the ceiling fan on and the patio doors wide open when you were in. Because the patio door was the only entrance and open to the public if they so wished during the day you could not leave it that way and came back to shockingly musty air in the room. Our friends in an adjacent room risked it and left their doors open when they were gone anyways because it was so bad.

The management could make this place so much better with some relatively inexpensive upgrades: It is actually quite a nice place otherwise. It needs new larger beds and at least new linens that fit the already too small beds. There is lots of room for king sized beds in these rooms, or at least Queens. Somehow fix the air circulation and smell. Provide some extra and softer towels. How about some cheap (or not) shampoo instead of none and decent soap. Actually clean the floors every day properly. Provide proper lighting (after fixing the cleaning problem).

I would actually like the this place a lot if they fixed these problems. The woman who checked us in was extremely nice and helpful. The (presumed)owners were around a lot and seemed nice. In summary: it has potential.
