We went in the summer, super quiet and peaceful and safe. If you like something non commercial this is the place to go. Better if you like animals and speak a little Spanish. And most important bring cash money there are no ATM machines, Lagunita restaurant take credit cards. Very nice place😊

Rustic retreat!

We enjoyed our two quiet days literally steps from the beach at Yelalpa. Beautiful sunsets and mornings and warm nights. Water was very clear and inviting, especially in the morning. Very rustic accommodations that were fine if your okay with roughing it (we are) once in a while. Cabanas could use some updates, but if you want the slow pace of the "old Mexico" coast, this is your place. Sadly, the off the beach areas were less than ideal. Trash everywhere, strong (bad) smells and generally unkept. But, that's the old Mexico, like it or not. Beach had some trash, but not much different than other beaches near PV. We had fun!

A Palapa in Yelapa

We loved the location of this quaint hotel. We had a beach front palapa. The beach was gorgeous! Listening to the surf from our palapa at night was amazing. The food at hotel restaurant on the beach was delicious , and the staff were friendly and accommodating. They served a delicious made to order breakfast and fresh seafood for dinner. This is a definite return for us. We spent two nights in Yelapa while on a two week trip to Puerto Vallarta. Took a water taxi from the main pier in Puerto Vallarta, and the hotel was easy to find. The only hotel directly on the beach.

This was a quaint little older resort, the rooms are very bare bones, the beds were very hard and it’s right on the water so the waves crashing on the rocks was extremely loud through the night. The restaurant was very good though

We arrived on last boat in. When we checked in no one escorted us in the dark to our bungalow....path was difficult to navigate with luggage and no flash light. Wanted to eat dinner in their restaurant which closed early that evening. Spent first day on the beach. Wait staff was not attentive to refilling drinks etc.

Rustic hotel on the beach.

I would definitely go again. Our room was on the beach, though others were set back a little with ocean views. The town is wonderful, the food was delicious, and the relaxed and welcoming feeling was great. It is a rustic place (there's only been electricity for 13 years). I didn't find an atm and few places accept credit cards. Hotel Lagunita does though. And the restaurant and beach side service were really nice. The jungle is right behind the hotel! Lots to see. The downside is it was loud at night between barking dogs and insect; earplugs helped! Birding, whale watching, and much more.

Very dirty room .....

We were told to wait when we tried to check in because our room was being cleaned . We checked in hours later to a room that had dirt and debris in both beds and in the shower . A beer can ashtray / candleholder? We changed rooms and although bed was free of debris we saw the shoulder high ledge shelf was absolutely thick with grime . The fan didn't work switched it out for another one that didn't work Ugh . On the plus side most gorgeous views ever !!!! Right on the beach . Super nice restaurant staff and reasonable food great drinks . Pool was also lovely . Made the best of it . Was hardly in the room

Yelapa is paradise.

By far one of the most amazing places ever. The beach is rigth outside your doorstep and sleeping to the sound of the crashing waves was magical. The room is not luxurious, its like glamping. Super cute and perfect for our experience.

Hotel in contact with nature.

It is a good option if you want to connect with nature. The rooms are separated from one another as if they were a house. Each room has its own terrace to relax. There is light and hot water. The hotel has it´s own swimming pool and it´s a very good one. The beach it´s a few steps. It has it´s own restaurant, anyway you can go to the others. The town is in front of Hotel Lagunita, if your staying is for several day, you can go to the town to buy supplies. Ten minutes from the town there is a waterfall, the road it´s a good experience.

Lovely setting, uncomfortable hotel room.

We stayed in room number 8. Every one is different. The setting is quite charming. Pros: We could see the beach from our modest porch, it was only a few minutes walk to the restaurants, and Yelapa was full of kind and welcoming people. Langunita's pool was very fun. It had several large boulders to perch on in the water, felt clean, and had a great view of the bay. Cons: We stayed on a very hard uncomfortable bed, there was a power outage for a day and a half which ment no showers, no toilets (not under anyone's control really, it just was unfortunate) but my worst experience was the bugs. I could not stand in our hotel for more that ten minutes without being bit several times. My saving grace was the mosquito net around the bed. I highly recommend bug repellent or a citronella candles to fight off the no-see-ems. Overall a pleasant place, nice experience. Would recent again, only with precautions. :)

Beautiful Sunsets

This was a fun place to stay! Think of it as upscale camping, with electricity and a bathroom. All huts are open to the outside and have thatched roofs. Don't be surprised or upset if you see a few bugs, a lizard, or a cute little beach crab in your room. The restaurant has good food and the best views of the gorgeous sunsets on the beach.

Nice beach and staff but over priced

We arrived at Lagunita expecting an off the beaten path, rustic place and that's what we got. Being right on the beautiful beach and hearing the waves all night was magical. The staff and owner were very nice and accomodating. Especially after we asked to be moved due to our very noisy neighbors. Playing loud music at 3 am and pleasuring eachother! Once we moved, it was a lot better. Still, I think we paid too much for what we got. $160 a night for a palapa in Yelapa? I recommend calling the hotel (using the term loosly here)directly to book. Palapas are a bit run down, with paint chipping every where and tarp and garbage bags holding the roof together. Would have been OK if we'd paid less! Don't forget to take your bug repellant! We got eaten up alive, even with mosquito netting and spray.
