I stayed for 3 nights at the Encino a few years ago, great location, cute rooms, beautiful courtyard and amazing views from the rooftop pool. Only negative is it's a little noisy. more

I'll start with the good... Location is good. Close to the Malecon - 2 blocks.. and price was reasonable at about $50US per night. The pictures make this hotel look a lot nicer than it is. It is adequate but not very clean... older - needs a remodel... small concrete cell like rooms.. loud grungy AC units.. Had to look... more

If you are looking for a modern, pristine, American-style hotel, look elsewhere. This is a good, clean, no-frills hotel that seems to cater to majority of Mexican clientelle. We stayed there twice, once in the hotel and once in the Suites and LOVED it. The rooms in the hotel are small with only the necessary furniture - AC, cable TV... more

Encino Guest from Chicago, IL Well, I've been a guest 3 times and just love it! The budget is great and evertyhing is so close. The staff was wonderful. The a/c was noisy but other than that I have no complaints. I love the pool area. It's different but that's what I like about it. How I can see everything... more

My partner and I stayed at Hotel Encino for one week over the Christmas holidays. We found the hotel to be clean and safe. There were safety deposit boxes at reception.

This is a nice, basic, clean little hotel right in the heart of Puerto Vallarta. If you want to be easy walking distance to shopping, the beach, and great restaurants, this is perfect. It is NOT a luxury hotel--stay at one of the resorts if that's what you're looking for. But this hotel was pretty and felt safe and well... more

After reading the negative review from the other Denverite, I thought I should give my opinion. I have stayed in six hotels in PV, from quite ritzy to budget. I have also stayed in many other countries south of the border. I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Encino. It was very clean, everything worked well, and I found the staff... more

The Encino Hotel was the worst place we have ever stayed in. Day 1 - it took 4 requests over a period of 7 hours in order to get towels for our room. Day 2 the cable went out and we were told that we could not get a refund to move to another hotel that had cable just 2... more

I have stayed Encino in December 21-25. They gave me the room that I requested (non smoking, rever side view as someone on tripadvisor recommended.) The room was not ready when I got there so I had to wait for 1 hr but it's not a big deal. It was such a nice view. It was so close to restaurants,... more
