We loved our 9 days at hotel playa conchas chinas. The location was great, out of the way yet a 5 min. 5 peso bus ride from the romantic zone. We booked online with vallarta.com which was about $30 cheaper per night then expedia and on arrival found that the suite with hot tub on the balcony that we had payed for was not available. The lesser suite they gave us was so great that we didn't care much and when Salvador, the very friendly and helpful manager, refunded the difference in price between the two suites in cash we were very pleased. We became even more pleased when other guests staying in the jacuzzi suites told us that they were useless. The balcony overlooking the ocean was great and we allways left the french doors open. All the suites have oceanview balconys. We also had a small kitchen setup which we used quite a bit. In fact there is a fisherman that keeps a small kayak on the beach fronting the hotel and sells his catch to guests of the hotel and timeshare nextdoor. One afternoon we bought part of his lobster catch that was so fresh that some were still alive. The place was clean, the staff attentive and we couldn't have asked for much more, a heated pool maybe. We would stay there again except that since coming home we decided we loved the place so much that we bought a timeshare online nextdoor at lindo mar which shares the beachfront restaurant with the hotel playa conchas chinas
