Our family had a great time!
We loved the Marcela Resort. It was a 2-bedroom / 2-bath unit, and very large - at least by US standards. From the wrap-around deck, it had an amazing view of the pool, down the mountain, and out to the ocean. It had a full kitchen, separate jacuzzi, and in-unit laundry. The price was still very reasonable.
The whole property was well-kept and nicely decorated. It's also very picturesque - the building itself is really interesting, and the gardens all over the grounds are full of pathways with landscaping and beautiful nighttime lighting. And the pool is 5(!) levels, going down the slope of the mountain. We spent a lot of time hanging out at the pool in the sun.
All of the front desk staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and spoke English well. They even kindly walked us through the "cave room" upon our request, since it was vacant that night - definitely the most cool and unique hotel room I've ever seen in person!
The only downside we experienced was that the room did not have good soundproofing. We were on the main "lobby" floor, so it's probably much less of an issue on the upper floors. Fortunately, it was pretty quiet at night.
The location is a ~10-min walk from the Zona Romantica. This could be a disadvantage, but we appreciated that it was free of the noise from the nightlife.
And Ubers are very cheap in Puerto Vallarta, so getting a ride back is only a couple of US$.
Hope we can come back someday!
