2-Star Hotels in Puerto Vallarta

With its perfect curve of golden sand along Banderas Bay, this is a city that lives for the ocean. The Malecón boardwalk is the heart of it all, a long seaside promenade where you can watch the sunset behind the iconic Los Arcos rock formations. Just south, the cobblestone streets and whitewashed buildings of the Zona Romántica offer a charming contrast, leading to the lively Playa de los Muertos. Days here are for sailing tours to hidden coves, spotting humpback whales in winter, or simply relaxing under a palapa with a fresh ceviche.

For easy beach access and a huge range of restaurants, the Hotel Zone is ideal for first-timers and families. Couples and solo travelers often prefer the authentic atmosphere and great nightlife of the Zona Romántica. Getting around is straightforward; the Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport is a short 15-minute drive from downtown, and local buses and taxis make exploring different neighborhoods simple.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find over 155 places to stay in Puerto Vallarta. The selection is dominated by all-inclusive resorts along the northern shores and a wonderful array of boutique hotels and vacation rentals in the historic center, ensuring there’s a perfect fit for every style and budget.
