Plaza Santa María - 48333 Puerto Vallarta

Hola Amigos. I lived for one year on the fourth floor of this great hotel for an entire year. Two bedroom, two bath unit. Hotel Santa Maria for the long term quest is absolutely the best Hotel to stay at because: location next to Mega Grocery Store, Fed Ex, best gym in Vallarta.(has a lap pool, yoga classes, great equipment, air conditioned for $50 a month). The hotel is near the library Las Mangos which is a social and exercise center featuring yoga, Tai Chi, movie club etc. Hotel Plaza Santa Maria is on the bus line so no need for a car. Forty minutes from airport. Fruit Breakfast every day is available in the hotels elegant lobby for 50 to 70 pesos. Other long term Plaza Santa Maria quests are interesting and easy to get to know. If you want the other long term guests will help you join all the meet up interest groups in Vallarta. I have never had the pleasure of having my sheets and towels changed and my living unit cleaned weekly. Absolutely no need to clean up after yourself. Lazy living at its best. A pay to have them do you laundry is close by and is so cheap it was idiotic to do my laundry when for $5 to 6 dollar all my dirty clothes were cleaned, ironed and put on hangers. Many restaurants of all price ranges within two to ten minute walk. Safe. Finally, the staff is very helpful in helping you with odd ball and normal questions. Staff for the most part speak English well. Learn Spanish schools are within walking distance too. I have never lived with so many nice people in such close proximity as here. You will love it. It took me about 6 months to appreciate how easy living can be. I have no financial interest in Hotel Santa Maria. It is just that nice of a place to live I wanted to write them to pay back for all the favors the staff did for me. This is the best "only local would know"advice I can give you. Bottom line the hotel is in the easiest place to live zone but only fifteen minutes from the popular and often obnoxious Malicon zone.

Very central located in the hotel zone. Very quiet if you get a room that faces the courtyard and pool. Mega Store is right next door. The complex is on the older side but is kept very clean. The beach is a 5 minute walk away.

Great staff.. Other guests are very friendly. Clean safe place to be. We come back every year.

The place is walking distance to the beach, the malecon, the market and the room had everything to stock drinks in the fridge and a stove to cook as well.

Wonderful location. Close to everything. Friendly staff.Amazing pool and grounds. Would book again for sure!

Nice hotel. Good prices friendly staff. If you want to book you must book on Airbnb

Dirty and neglected place without minimal details for a comfortable stay, without internet, without filter for the coffee maker, without soap for dishes, useless air conditioning. For the same money you you can find something much better

For me, good price, convenient location, parking for my rental car. The kitchen was nice to have. Was traveling alone. Didn't always want to go out. Plus, I like the food in Vallarta so much, if I over ordered, I could warm it up later.
