Boutique Hotels in Bahía de Banderas from NZ$270

"The hotel was very clean, staff is very friendly. Food is for the most part very tasty. Except for one restaurant which is the steak house, food was bad. Other than that, it’s a great, family friendly place. Would stay here again."

"The property is immaculate and a perfect cocoon for an awesome vacation. The food is great, particularly the Italian, Mexican, and breakfast buffet with plenty of options suiting all desires. My wife and I want to return immediately and feel at home with Palace Pacifico."

"My stay at the hotel was very good; it's a family-friendly hotel, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the beach and Mexican food."

"Octavio was very helpful and took care of us. The room was not clean. The floors of the bathroom were dirty as were the walls near the toilet. The jacuzzi tub is too high for climbing in and out unless you are over 5' 8" tall. There needs to be steps allowing for safe entry. I banged my leg the first time trying to get into the tub (while using a children's plastic step) and received a huge bruise when I slipped. My husband had to help me in and out of the tub from then on. I am 5'4" btw. This resort catered to families with small children. We tried to play Pickleball and the nets were missing. That was one of the main reasons we picked this resort. There are not enough restaurant choices. The Asian and Italian restaurants were good. No pickleball or tennis activities. Too much catering to "members". Felt like I was at a country club that didn't want me there."

"Had an amazing stay. The Italian restaurant is the best. Jorge. The chef was very attentive to my celiac requirements. Will definitely be back"

"Magnifico"

"Did not try breakfast . "

"I have very mixed feelings about my stay. The resort itself is beautiful, featuring three massive pools, and generally good food with smiling staff. However, the "behind the scenes" experience was exhausting, and by the end, I was actually ready to head home early. I moved to 3 different rooms within the first few days ( Room 1: Started with a toilet that wouldn't flush and a massive sink leak. Maintenance was intrusive, returning after I asked for privacy and leaving dirty boot prints behind. Room 2: The AC leaked a white, paint-like substance. I had to insist the manager inspect the splattered bedding with me before moving again. Room 3: Better, but shared a wall with a loud, banging elevator and had a recurring dripping noise in the AC.) The pools are lovely and warm, and the pool guys work hard at cleaning, but the physical state of the area is concerning. There are missing tiles, broken sections, and rough, dirty cement on the pool stairs. Many of the outdoor steps are broken and falling apart, and the chaises and umbrellas are chipping. There is also a weird "policing" of the umbrellas; staff would constantly close them on poolside guests. They really need a better setup for windy days and more permanent shade options. Be prepared for the local wildlife. Birds are a constant problem, but there is also a family of iguanas that harass guests for food, even climbing right up onto the chaises! This is made worse by fellow guests who leave trash out."

"Excellent environment cant wait for the remodel!"
