Any PV Suggestions
 

Any suggestions on a nice hotel<BR>45-60 dollar range for a couple of days .Have been looking at the Dulce Vida<BR>,Hotel Rosita, Posada de Roger.Will be staying in the city (PV)March<BR>28,-30,until we go to a Rental in Bucerias.Thanks for any input.

Posada de Roger is a personal favorite of mine. Somewhat noisy central location, but friendly staff, very clean, nice sunny small pool area. <BR><BR>Rosita's is up in El Centro at the north end of the Malecon.<BR><BR>Other possibilities in that price range 'south of the river' are Posada Rio Cuale, Hotel Eloisa, Hotel Alegre, Hotel Posada Don Miguel.<BR><BR>Or up in the neighborhood behind the church Cuatro Vientos.<BR><BR>I'm curious about Dulce Vida so please post again if you try it.

I was a little disappointed in Posada Roger. The first room we were shown was really small (just 1 double bed) and dreary. The second room was bigger and brighter, but very noisy. At least the noisy A/C unit helped drown out the street noise. We just had 2 nights there and that was enough. (We were going to a rental in Sayulita.) The garden and pool area was nice though. The location was very convenient as well. There was a discount for paying in cash - we were told that the room was $48 USD, but with cash, it dropped to $42. <BR><BR>If we had been staying longer than the 2 nights, I definitely would have looked for something nicer.

Susan, If you find some place 'nicer' in that neighborhood, in that price range... believe me we'd all like to know which hotel!!! ;-)<BR><BR><BR><BR>

Suze, I guess I didn't express myself very well. If I were to go back to PV, I would be prepared to pay more. That area of PV is really busy now - I used to go to PV back in the late 70's, early 80's and it's obviously changed a lot in the last 2 decades! I'm definitely a 'frugal'traveller, so I'm always on the lookout for a good deal. Obviously it's a case of location, location, location. We had just come from Mexico City, where for the same money, we had a much nicer hotel. Obviously not on the beach though!

No... really I understood, but do appreciate your reply. I was mostly trying to get back to the point of the original poster who was looking for a nice place in the 45-60US range.<BR><BR>I agree with all you said, and that neighborhood *IS* very popular, busy, crowded. And I even agree that Posada de Roger is noisy and some rooms are small not too cheery.<BR><BR>BUT I have spent a LOT of time checking out all the budget hotels in that neighborhood (1-2 trips each year over the past 10 years) and to me, Roger's wins by a landslide in its price range, especially if you want a pool.<BR><BR>If you do return you might like Casa Andrea www.casa-andrea.com. More like $75US/night but heavenly and all rooms with kitchens. Gorgeous place, very private, and quiet at night.

I would recommend Los Quatro Vientos on the hill overlooking the city and the beautiful church. We paid $55 a night for a beautiful room with bath and view of the city. A free breakfast was included, and the rooftop deck area was great for picture taking, sunbathing and relaxing before it turns into a bar in the evening. The owner was very helpful with travel planning, and it was an easy walk to the downtown area without all the noise. Enjoy!

Their website is: www.cuatrovientos.com<BR><BR>Another sweet hotel (I post again only because it is spelled with a C not Q meaning &quot;the 4 winds&quot;).<BR>
