Casa Romance Escondido  

In downtown Puerto Vallarta, a short stroll from the iconic Malecon and about a minute’s drive from the Bay of Banderas. Playa de los Muertos is under a mile away and Camarones Beach sits nearby. This family-friendly, pet-friendly vacation home/cottage puts city-center sights and seaside walks within easy reach.

This air-conditioned cottage mixes laid-back city vibes with homey comforts. Rooms open to private and outdoor pool space and include a flat-screen TV, a full kitchen with fridge and oven, a desk and an in-room safe. Expect playful touches like a library, kids’ playrooms and arcade areas, plus multilingual staff to help plan excursions.

Take a dip in the private or outdoor pool, belt out a tune at karaoke, or challenge the crew in the arcade/game room. There’s a barbecue area for casual nights and free self parking on site. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and easy access to the Malecon and local beaches.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and a guest computer are available. Free international phone calls are included from the room phone.

Local-cuisine breakfasts are served daily from 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM for a fee. The cottage’s barbecue area also lets you grill local ingredients for a casual, regional-flavored meal.
