Pleasant stay in Vallarta
The hotel was clean and our room was comfortable. The rooftop pool area and the restaurant were very nice! Excellent happy hour! The only downside was the lack of wifi. Only available in the lobby and not always good even there.

Not perfect, but nice
Not a new or stylish Hotel, I don't understand some of the bad reviews on here complaining over how old the Hotel is. Not when you're paying so little in a perfect location and not to mention that the pictures and description is clear on this website. It's comfortable, nice staff, good rooftop swimming pool and nice little restaurant/bar next to the pool. I recommend it if you're on a budget

Not bad for the price in PVR
Hotel Encino is in a good location if the traveler wants to be in the “Centro” and near the shops and restaurants on the “Malecon”. It can be noisy day and night (street noise, loud music, etc.) because of its proximity to av. Vallarta. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, the linens clean. The bathroom needed serious renovations. The pool area is a great asset, but was occasionally crowded. I was only able to get WiFi in the lobby and another guest said the same. The reception and housekeeping personnel were friendly and helpful.

Have stayed at Encino 4 times. Love it. Roof top pool. Roof top restaurant. Easy walk to Malecon and the Pier and the beaches. Staff is very helpful and curtious. Quaint Mexican feel with the beautiful court yard. Simple rooms nothing fancy but beds comfy and I always ask for balcony with river view. Just love staying here.

The hotel is in a great location, close to transportation and lots to see in walking distance. The staff was excellent, very helpful and friendly. The wifi is not great, and pretty much non existant in the rooms, but good in common areas. Kept very clean.
