Why travelers love it
“Budget-friendly beachfront stay on a quiet Nayarit bay”
This is a straightforward, value-priced all-inclusive on the calm bay of Rincón de Guayabitos, with a clean beach, warm swimmable water, and hard-working staff. Expect simple, repetitive buffet-style food and a lively, sometimes crowded pool scene rather than polished resort luxury.
Food & drink
MixedFood is hit-or-miss and repetitive across a week's stay, with decent variety on good days but early snack-bar closures and a few reports of stomach upset dragging it down.
medium confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Menu changes daily when kitchen is on
- Snack-bar burgers are a highlight
- Drinks pour real-brand vodka and rum
Heads up
- Repetitive over longer stays
- Snack bar closes earlier than posted hours
- Reports of food making guests sick
Dining overview
Dining is buffet-focused with a rotating daily selection and a snack bar known for good burgers. Reviews are mixed: some guests find it tasty and varied, others call it repetitive, and posted hours are not always reliable. Drinks get consistent praise, with name-brand liquor rather than cheap substitutes.

Beach
StrongThe beach is the headline: clean, stone-free sand on a gorgeous Nayarit bay with warm water and postcard sunsets.
high confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Clean sand, no stones
- Warm, swimmable water
- Plenty of beach seating
- Staff and locals keep it tidy
Heads up
- Surf can pick up on windier days
Guests consistently praise the beach: clean sand kept tidy by staff and locals, warm and calm water thanks to the sheltered bay, and plenty of loungers. Ocean views and sunsets are a real highlight.
Pools
MixedA single heated pool that's kept clean, but lounger-hogging from 6 a.m. means you'll rarely find a spot without an early start.
medium confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Heated pool
- Facilities cleaned throughout the day
Heads up
- Chairs saved from dawn
- No swim-up bar
- Staff don't enforce reservation rules
There is a heated main pool with generous seating, though chair-saving from early morning is a common frustration and it can feel crowded on busy days.

Amenities & activities
Couples
StretchA lively, budget beachfront with magical ocean-wave nights and sunsets, but the crowded pool scene and smoking around common areas undercut any romance factor.

- Sunsets from the beach
- Warm, swimmable water on calm days
Heads up
- Noisy, crowded atmosphere
- Smoking permitted throughout common areas
- No adult-only spaces
Families
StretchAn all-ages property on a swimmable bay, but smoking around kids, chair-hogging from dawn, and inconsistent food service make it a compromise for families.
low confidence

- Whale-watching tours from the beach
Heads up
- Smokers throughout common areas

Peace & Quiet

medium confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Ocean waves audible from rooms
- Beachfront setting on a calm bay
Heads up

“The facilities are very good, the beach is nice, the downside is that there isn't much variety and the other sister hotels you can stay in are quite far away”
★★★★★
“Very comfortable and good service, I would definitely return”
★★★★★
“I went to Decameron La Marina, but it's in the same category and everything is great. I highly recommend it; the service is excellent, and everyone is friendly from the moment you arrive. 1000 out of 1000!”
★★★★★
“It's a small hotel, but it offers everything you need for a very comfortable stay. The location is excellent, as is the beach, and the service is good. The only downside I noticed was the parking; they have to come and open the gate for you every time you need to get to your car. Also, the pool is practically a wading pool for children. Even though there's a children's pool, people eat and drink by the pool, bring babies in diapers, reserve lounge chairs, and play loud music even though it's...”
★★★☆☆
“We just got back from there and it was a completely different experience. The staff's service was some of the best I've ever received, especially the waiters. I fell in love with the hotel. Unfortunately, I was there during the hurricane, but other than that it was wonderful. The buffet was a bit limited, but delicious 😋”

Know before you book
- Food quality inconsistent and repetitive
- Snack bar closes earlier than posted hours
- Chair-saving at the pool is rampant
- Smoking allowed in areas where it should not be
What you should know
What to Know
Come for the beach and sunsets, not for polish: smoking is tolerated in common areas, loungers vanish before breakfast, and posted restaurant hours are more suggestion than schedule.
medium confidence
What you'll enjoy
- Local whale-watching tours easy to book
- Beach is the real draw
- Drinks use name-brand spirits
Heads up
- Smoking common despite posted rules
- Snack bar closes early or entirely
- Pool chairs claimed by 6 a.m.
- Low shower water pressure
WATCH OUT: Seasonal heads-up
- Humpback whale season runs roughly December through March along the Nayarit coast
- Rainy season from June through October can bring afternoon storms and higher humidity
The resort sits about an hour and fifteen minutes north of Puerto Vallarta airport, so factor in the drive. Bring pesos for tipping local beach and tour vendors, and consider booking whale-watching or boat tours through operators on the beach in winter. Smoking rules around the pool and common areas are loosely enforced, which is worth knowing if you are sensitive. If you want a poolside lounger, plan to head down early.
Good to know
- The bay is calm and swimmable, a real plus for kids and nervous swimmers
- Pool loungers get claimed very early, despite posted rules against saving chairs
- Snack bar and restaurant hours can be inconsistent
- Smoking is common around the pool and public areas
- Whale watching tours run out of Guayabitos in winter
