#12 San Trópico Petit Hotel

⭐️ Rating: 9.6/10 |📍 Location: Marina Vallarta | 🏩 View on Expedia

San Trópico Petit Hotel & Peaceful Escape is in Marina Vallarta and is within walking distance of many of Puerto Vallarta’s best attractions. Bikes are also available for guests who want to experience the fresh air but use a faster mode of transport! This hotel is a particular favorite with golf lovers as it is just a 15-minute walk from the famous 18-hole golf course at the Marina Vallarta Golf Club. 

The hotel has two different types of suites – the Superior Suite and the Luxury Suite. Both have two king bedrooms, two bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, a private balcony, and a living room. The Luxury suite, however, has vaulted ceilings, making the room look and feel larger. It is also located on the third floor for more impressive views of the sunsets, the ocean, and the mountains. This hotel also has rooms called the Royal Studio and the Wild Studio, which have décor that reflects their names.

If you want to spend a day at the beach, you’ll find that you’ll have to travel a bit further than usual. The San Trópico is close to the Marina rather than the sea. You can access the Sabal Beach Club in Nuevo Vallarta for a fee. 

This gives you access to all their amenities, including lounge chairs, heated pools, kayaks, and the restaurant. Unfortunately, the hotel doesn’t provide a shuttle service, but it is only a 20-minute ride in a taxi or Uber and is worth it for a fun day out. 

We were blown away by how amazing the unit was here! Super cleaning services and very comfy beds, amazing stocked kitchen, great balcony. We had great sleeps here, it’s very quiet.
