Hotel Blue Home Vallarta

Breakfast is generous and included: local fruit with yogurt and granola, fresh bread from the neighborhood panaderia, and good hot coffee. Omelets and other dishes were available for very little. The staff were wonderful, and they kept our bags for a few hours after checkout while we went on a tour. It's a quiet neighborhood and a great value, so I'd stay again. The rooms were clean, though their age and possible plumbing problems made me take a point off.

We liked staying in a more local, less touristy part of town, with a great rooftop view and friendly, welcoming staff. Nearby, there’s a good taco stand and food vendors by the park, including one with amazing seafood. The hotel is about a 15-minute walk from the beach, 30 minutes from Centro, and 45 from the Romantic Zone. The bus stop is just around the corner, and it costs 10 pesos per person, about 15 minutes to the Romantic Zone. Breakfast was tasty, with fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, bread, and coffee. You could order more food at a reasonable price. The beds were a little hard but fine, the WiFi was great, and the AC was wonderful. One small hiccup: when we arrived, nobody came after we rang the buzzer a few times. I found a phone number in an email and called, and a staff member came to meet us soon after.

The hotel is nice, but I wouldn't stay again. I couldn't get a hot shower, which is how I like to start my day, and the bathroom sink had no hot water either.

For the price, everything was great. The room was clean, breakfast was excellent, and the staff were super nice. I loved the place and the amazing terrace view. I'd definitely come back.
