Hotels near Playa Esmerelda

"Our housekeeper, Yanet, was great. We loved our room, the food at the restaurant was really good, the views were impeccable. Our only problem was that guests reserved all the pool lounge chairs early in the morning. In the 11 days we stayed, we never could get a space by the pool until the evening."

"We were there during Cartel trouble. The staff handled our “sheltering in place” with utmost care and consideration. We felt safe and cared for."

"Our stay at Barcelo was 10/10. The rooms are huge, pools are great with lots of chairs, and the staff are so sweet and helpful. We had an incredible stay, thank you Barcelo Puerto Vallarta!"

Everything felt sincerely luxurious, from the stunning rooms (there truly isn’t a bad view in the building) to the incredible food selection and quality. What stood out most was the staff—so kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and made us feel truly cared for throughout our stay. It was one of those vacations that fills your cup all the way up."
