If you visit San Sebastian del Oeste, this is a fantastic spot for a 100% authentic Mexican breakfast. I don’t even know what we ate, but it was delicious!! The Cafe de Olla was sweet and flavorful. The building itself is over 200 years old, so lots of history there. We even had a sweet little breakfast companion, who was more than willing to help us finish our plates. This was more than just a breakfast - it was a step back in time.

We had an amazing lunch at this restaurant. The food was hot and arrived quickly. Carla (our server) was excellent. She spoke English and brought us samples of the different mole sauces. She was very attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant....and hopefully you are lucky and get Carla as your server too!

Reasonable price for a clean, rustic room. The building is very old adobe, but the bed was comfortable and the bathroom nice. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

The restaurant is popular...good food and decent prices. Breakfast was yummy. The hotel rooms leave a bit to be desired. Reasonable...but you get what you pay for. Staff is friendly and accommodating.

A lovely breach front hotel. A nice place to stay for your first time in Puerto Vallarta. Right in the heart of the Romantic Zone. Great place to stay if you wish to venture outside of the hotel zone
