Almost nice, but also meh

First off, the service was excellent. The staff are professional and accommodating. The hotel, however is a bit tired. The doorskins in the bathroom door and wardrobe were broken, peeling back, and just painted over. The crank to open the glass to the pateo was broken off and hanging. There was a centimeter gap where the patio wall was screwed together. Traffic and conversation drifted up at all hours as if there was no divider at all. I'm by know means a light sleeper, but i was woken up by trucks, shouts, construction, and church bells all but one night. In all fairness, i forgot it was holy week, so the bells were far more frequent than would be typical, but the shoddy construction of the divider did nothing to keep out sound. The counterbalance to the experience was the rooftop pool. Stunning view of the hills and water. Excellent lounge space. The rooftop restaurant was excellent with terrific drink specials. I probably won't plan another stay here, but can definitely recommend this hotel for younger travelers in a budget.

Pleasant stay in Vallarta

The hotel was clean and our room was comfortable. The rooftop pool area and the restaurant were very nice! Excellent happy hour! The only downside was the lack of wifi. Only available in the lobby and not always good even there.

Have stayed at Encino 4 times. Love it. Roof top pool. Roof top restaurant. Easy walk to Malecon and the Pier and the beaches. Staff is very helpful and curtious. Quaint Mexican feel with the beautiful court yard. Simple rooms nothing fancy but beds comfy and I always ask for balcony with river view. Just love staying here.

I generally enjoyed my stay, but the wifi situation is simply untenable, if you need to spend time working while on vacation. It doesn't extend beyond the door to your room. It works great in the common areas, but that's it. That's not a workable situation if you need privacy or quiet to get work done
