For perspective: My wife and I are North Americans. We are experienced world travelers and have lived as well as visited at all levels of accomodation. We are both 49 and appreciate good value but look for good neighbors and security. Our six night stay ended on July 23, 2006. El Pescador was a fine place to stay and the... more

Ola, El Pescador is great in terms of location, it's very close to the Malecon and a large grocery store. The adjacent beach is lovely as well. However, the staff can be a little bit exasperating. When we arrived, we had to wait four hours before we could be checked-in. The menu items are very limited, so don't bother getting... more

El Pescador is an older hotel located about 5 (walking minutes) from the Malceon. We were given a choice of a newer(renovated?) room facing the street, or an older room with an ocean view. We chose the ocean view, and even though we had some problems, who cares??? We looked out at the ocean and listened to the waves at... more

Very basic hotel, good downtown location to walk around and take in the local atmosphere. We stayed for 2 nights after checking out of our timeshare. This is a sister hotel to the Rosita, 3 blocks away. We picked this one as we were staying on the weekend and the Rosita was reported to be noisy, being so close to... more

Couldn't agree more with the last review. This hotel is perfect for those that enjoy to save money and still enjoy a great time at Puerto Vallarta. The staff were all extremely helpful with activities, food, etc. Everyone made you feel right at home. I believe that is the most important aspect when considering a hotel. The front exterior looks... more

I recently stayed in el Pescador this past week and I thought it was great. Though we did not have an ocean front room, the room we had was pretty clean and spacious.The rooms come with cable with a few English channels and there is internet in the lobby you can pay to use. The pool and lobby area was... more

This a budget hotel. It is kept quite clean but it's age is showing. The location is excellent! It is close to the Malecon and a large grocery store is only a block away. The beach for the hotel is okay. It is a little rocky and further into the ocean you go the rockier it gets. I believe the... more

Stayed at El Pescador for a week, had an amazing time. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I had read reviews complaining about the noise of the street view rooms but had no problem with that at all. It was great. I would definetly stay here again. A much better idea than an all inclusive hotel especially in Puerta Vallarta... more

El Pescador is the perfect hotel. It is spotlessly clean and the staff are some of the nicest in the world. My four girlfreinds and I went to Puerto Vallarta for Spring Break and stayed at the El Pescador for a week. It honestly could't have been better. The location is absoluttely amazing with 4 different food carts RIGHT outside... more

This is a clean,quiet,well maintained budget hotel on the beach. What more could a budget traveler ask for. This hotel is rated at 2 and a half stars and in my opinion is probably underated at that. I have stayed in 3 star Puerto Vallarta properties that are not nearly as well cared for, or comfortable. My only REAL complaint,... more
