This property is on a high hill and the view from up there is amazing! There are lots of places to stop and overlook the entire Guayabitos Bay while drinking your morning coffee. There are two very clean swimming pools with access to BBQ pits. It was such a calm, relaxing, beautiful experience. Reccomend it 100%

Cozy with a View
The hotel is located atop a small mountain. The road to get there is very rocky and rustic and easily missed from the main road. But the view from the small balcony is well worth the bumpy trip. You see the ocean and the entire town of Rincon de Guayabitos. Hot water was great. Bed was very comfortable too. Room was small but you don't mind it. Alot of cool birds on the grounds.

We loved the location of the property. It’s up on a beautiful hill across from the main town. The cabins are awesome. However, the property is extremely dirty, trash everywhere, and the worse part is that there seems to be no trash collection in the area and the property’s management burns the trash, there are piles of trash throughout the property. A shame for such a beautiful landscape, and obviously not very environmentally focused. If, and when, they create a more environmentally conscious place to enjoy, we would be happy to stay there again.

This is a wonderful choice for people looking to really disconnect. It's peaceful, and there's a beautiful view over the sea. Rincon de Guyabitos is a lovely town and there are some fantastic beaches a short drive from the hotel.
With that said, the property is a bit difficult to find. There's no signs indicating that it's a businesses, nor are there any signs on the property indicating where to go to check in. The property is at the top of a very steep hill, and the road is quite rough. We were glad we rented an SUV. Coming from Puerto Vallarta, Google maps has the pin for this property about halfway up the hill, at an unfinished house and a gate with a no trespassing sign on it, though the gate is open. Be prepared to speak Spanish or use a translation app to talk to hotel staff.
Be aware that the wifi is very spotty, so if you're planning to work remotely that might be a challenge. I was able to use cell phone data for the few meetings I had, but if you're a digital nomad that might not be a great solution. Also be aware that the mattresses are hard, at least in the family cabins on the ground floor. Upstairs in the family cabin were air mattresses.
Please understand that these aren't complaints, it's more of a "know before you go" statement. We're very happy with our stay.
I'd like to suggest the property include a broom in the cabins since housekeeping isn't included even on longer stays. I'd also like to suggest they add signs to help visitors find the right place.

No me respetaron la reservación... Ese día llegué tipo 12:00pm y me dijeron que regresara hasta después de las 3:00pm porque no estaban listas las habitaciones, entonces bajamos al pueblo a comprar lo necesario y nos pasamos a la playa, cuando regresé eran como las 7:00pm y me dijeron que ya habían vendido mi habitación... El motivo fue que no dejé pagada la habitación temprano, cuando ellos ni siquiera me hicieron check in, ni me dijeron esa información, ni se comunicaron con nosotros para confirmar. Es mas, ni recepción tienen, o si es que la tienen, nadie la atiende yo tuve que andar buscando al muchacho que es el que se supone te debe recibir, unos albañiles de ahí fueron los que me dieron información para ir a tocarle a su casa del recepcionista.

Excelente el servicio por parte de las personas que te reciben Luis y su esposa Mónica, super atentos y serviciales, las instalaciones muy bien, solo por parte de los encargados que nosotros en particular estubimos 12 días y lo realizan limpieza ni cambio de sábanas y toallas, si se te acaba el papel de baño tienes que comprar, las sábanas y toallas me realizaron el cambio solo hasta mandar mensaje con los encargados y solicitarlas, pero de allí en fuera nuestra estadía fue asombrosa, muy recomendado el lugar al 100%

El lugar tiene una vista preciosa en dirección a la playa de Guayabitos.
Los temas que podrían mejorar son:
1. El acceso: yo fui el fin de semana de pascua y estaban arreglando, para acceder estaba muy complicado porque si no era en auto, tenías que caminar bastante. La sugerencia es que pregunten por dónde pueden entrar, porque cuando llegue, la entrada principal estaba cerrada y debíamos rodear; aunado a que como están arreglando, los taxis ya no quieren ir para allá porque los autos se patinan horrible.
2. El servicio de agua caliente y agua para servicio: a la llegada no había agua caliente para bañarnos, en la noche mandamos msj y fue hasta ese momento que nos fueron a prender el boiler.
Nos quedamos sin agua para el baño o para lavarnos las manos en la madrugada, el agua se restauró hasta las 8:00 am del domingo.
3. Check out: ojalá pudieran extender el check out a la 1:00 pm, la página de expedia dice que es a las 12:00 pm, pero al momento de liquidar la habitación, te dicen que la salida es las 11:00 am.
Lo que es de destacar, es que afortunadamente cuando llegamos, el dueño del lugar nos apoyó a subirnos a la zona de las cabañas, el señor fue muy amable.
