Great pool, great staff. Nice big beds. Great AC in bedrooms. A little musty elsewhere. Parking was a little challenging. But loved walking down to dinner in the city each night.

Incredible property -- unique, charming, modern, clean. Surprisingly good location despite being up a hill (use the secret staircase at the bottom to walk into town).
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

I would definitely come back. It is close to a lot of great restaurants, shops, and of course, the beach. It's a quick uber ride to the more touristy part of PV if that's what you're looking for, but we LOVED Zona Romantica. The staff was kind, accommodating, and the resort is so stunning that I didn't mind staying in and being cozy on the rainy days. We made a lot of meals in the kitchen, which was a big plus. Also, the spa was wonderful!

Very chill resort. Loved hanging at the main pool which was very clean and comfortably warm. Beautiful grounds and views. Staff was very friendly. Liked that it was within easy walking distance of all PV’s romantic zone offers but far enough away to escape the hustle and bustle. Would come back in a heartbeat.

10/10 Exceptional

The Marcela is a gem, it’s a beautiful place to spend several days enjoying PV. Easy walk to town to enjoy the hustle and bustle and then escape back to the super friendly staff, delicious food and drinks and great pool. The rooms themselves are beautiful decorated with traditionally Mexican decor, clean and comfortable. The pull out couch wasn’t very comfortable but that is our only complaint, the Marcela was a wonderful place to spend 10 days with our family. We would definitely stay again.
Watch for whales from your room!

The fajita on the menu is incredible, eat it poolside!

4/10 Fair

This review gives me mixed feelings because I think the property is amazing. We had the “cave” room and it’s stunning. Open air villa, three floors, massive and very well decorated. The resort is well kept, lots of greenery and water features, wildlife etc. There’s one little restaurant and bar connected to the pool, but you’re 10-15 walking to the main area downtown. We really enjoyed everything but on our last night, someone or something opened our bedroom door and slammed it shut around midnight. We were terrified and couldn’t sleep. The hotel closes at 9 pm and opens at 8 am, and it’s a bit remote. We stayed awake until the hotel opened and we left immediately. We were informed there are no cameras on that side of the resort and the whole situation left us feeling unsafe. Luckily nothing was taken and we weren’t harmed, just scared.
