“Adorable and well-priced”

Playa Conchas Chinas

4 of 5 stars
Jersey City, NJ

2/2 found this review helpful

I was with a group of people in town for a wedding- the staff was very accomodating about switching the groom's room when the music from the bar got to be too much for him the night before the wedding. My room was very clean and full of cute details- it also had a larger than average balcony. The multi-level hotel is on the side of a cliff and there isn't an elevator, so if you can't handle stairs, then this is not the hotel for you.

“The suite took my breath away”

Playa Conchas Chinas

5 of 5 stars
cross plains, wisconsin

2/2 found this review helpful

We booked our travel with villasandcondos.com and were taken back. The presidential suite (listed as Suites Emperador on villasandcondos.com) took my breath away. Myself and 6 other women stayed and it was perfect. The rooms were large and had a Mexican decor. It was open with a large deck area, our own infinity pool and a kitchen. We loved going to the beach all day and then coming back for a swim in our warm pool while watching the sun set. The beach was a little rocky, but beautiful. However, all the beaches in PV are public and we walked to one 30 seconds away and on other days went to beaches by taxi for a couple of pesos... I would definately recommend the suite.

“Wouldn't Think Of Staying Anywhere Else”

Playa Conchas Chinas

Feb 11, 2007
4/4 found this review helpful

I've stayed at Playa Conchas Chinas twice now. The first time (in 2004) was for 3 days & the second time (in 2005) was for 10 days. Yep, a solo traveller like many others before me.

It's easy. Beware of nothing! This hotel is 'what you see is what you get' material. It is history steeped on the foundations of a town which was original a fishermans village and that's why you see rocks round the bays.

This hotel is muy bonito. I love its location. And that hill can provide a good workout if you decide to run it rather than bus it. Besides, its a lovely walk to town from the hotel and you can't help but get swept away by the beautiful haciendas you would pass along the way. The view of the sea is right there in front of you. Who could ask for much more than that?

The staff are lovely, kind, helpful & always smiling from ear to ear.

Muchas gracias to the wonderful people who run & operate this wonderful hotel.

“Pool is cold and rocky beach”

Playa Conchas Chinas

Jan 8, 2007

The Beach is very small and has big rocks not safe for children and the pool is so cold that not even the kids could take it for 1 minute!!. So if you are planning to go in the ocean and to enjoy a good soak in the pool this is not the hotel for you. They don't have a elevator but there are plenty of stairs, not good for little kids and elderly people. But the rooms are clean and they have good service

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — The view and closeness to town
    • Disliked — The cold pool and the rocky beach
    • Tips/Secrets: — If you travel with kids ask for the temperature of the pool and also make sure there's an elevator

“WIVC Conchas Chinas”

Playa Conchas Chinas

5 of 5 stars
Boulder, Colorado
Jan 1, 2007
5/5 found this review helpful

We greatly enjoyed the WIVC Conchas Chinas on the south side of the city. The 1-BR condo unit was clean, had a fantastic view, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Gabriela, the afternoon / evening concierge, was the nicest, most pleasant person you could meet. The pool was cool and refreshing. The outdoor spa was a very nice place to relax.

We rented a car for the week, so getting into town to go to dinner was easy. Great food! We had a fantastic breakfast at one of the Playa Del Sol restaurants.

Activites: Jet skiing, parasailing, canopy touring, Wal-Mart-ing, exploring.

Anyhow, it was a fantastic vacation.
