San Tropico

Within walking distance of the beach, this understatedly cool aparthotel sits in a small, safe residential zone within Puerto Vallarta’s upscale marina. Its full-sized fridges are handy if you’re going fully self-sufficient, although do allow time to relax on the low sofas under string lights in the hotel’s den-like courtyard bar. If you fancy exploring the city, suites come with access to a fleet of bicycles.
