“High end bed and breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Casa Obelisco is a charming bed and breakfast with four guest rooms at the end of the beach in San Pancho, an exceptionally pretty and relaxed town 25 miles north of Puerto Vallerta. The Inn is very well appointed with big rooms, ample patios, and charming architectural details consistent with the Mexican style. The heated pool comes with a staff member who will get together an order of guacomole or a quesadilla to go with a marguarita in the afternoon sun. The convivial breakfast served by the hosts provides a relaxed start to the day and an opportunity to meet the other guests and get tips on hikes, shops, or restaurants. The sound of crashing waves from the beach across the street provides a gentle background sound effect that works well with the sea breeze. Although a rental car allows exploration to neighboring towns and beaches, it is completely optional. The 15 or 20 minute walk into town on the beach or on the road is lovely and a taxi ride can be had for the equivalent of a couple of dollars.

“A Little Gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

Casa Obelisco, a B&B in San Pancho, is the perfect place to spend time close to the water's edge. The owners, John and Judy are not only welcoming, but make the most delicious breakfasts you'll ever eat. The B&B is nestled in a small fishing village that offers a unique and relaxing Mexican experience. The rooms are spacious and provide a most pleasant ambiance. The bottom of the pool is tiled in the shape of a hibiscus (in Spanish: obelisco) and the rooftop provides a view of the pool and unforgettable sunsets. We loved our time in the casa and were happily busy in the surrounding area. If you travel to Mexico don't miss this perfect little gem.

“Here we are again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

We are back at the best vacation place ever! Sitting on our deck, overlooking the pool, listening to the waves.... This is what relaxation is meant to be. Gentle breeze, warm sun, great breakfast. The only stress is deciding which of San Pancho's great restaurants will be our dinner destination. But first, we'll walk the beach to town, walk back, jump in the pool, have a poolside Margarita and quesadilla prepared by Evie, read and take a nap. Then we'll survive the "stress" of deciding on where to have dinner. Ahhhhh....

Room Tip: There are four rooms -all good!

“The best small hotel in Mexico.”

We stayed at Casa Obelisco for 5 days and it was perfect. The owner and host, Bill aka Memo, made us feel welcome from the time we made the reservation to the last day. Great drinks and homemade chips and salsa at the pool bar. Comfortable spacious rooms.

San Pancho is a perfect destination with terrific restaurants, golf and water sports.
Forget Punta Mita..

Room Tip: All rooms face the ocean and the pool.
