This was our third visit and we LOVED our stay. We were in Saturno room and the bed was super comfortable and the room was immaculate. The staff is amazing. We enjoyed pool drinks and a delicious dinner at the restaurant. Breakfast was fantastic AND included in the stay. We will be back!

Wonderful get-away!!

El Cielito was literally a breath of fresh air from the crowded “tourism scene” in the area. If you are looking for a relaxing, beautiful and affordable location for your next vacation, this is exactly what you are looking for. Staff were all amazing and the accommodations were superb. We will definitely return…often!!

A beautiful place to get away from it all - even the wifi barely works. We had the luxury of being the only guests at the hotel for the night we stayed. Unfortunately, they put us in one of the 2 cabanas with no ac, so it was a little uncomfortable overnight, and the room needs some work. We toured the other units though and they were pristine and updated. Lovely staff and the view from the pool is amazing! Don’t go if you are looking for a party, or an ocean swim, (The waves are rough), but if you need somewhere to escape for a few days this is for you.

6/10 Okay

Great place but not for me!!!

Great people and great hotel. The downside is really obvious: three hour tough drive from Vallarta, the last five miles on a dirt road before nothing: nothing to north or south. We left a day early…. Simply too tooo remote. Beach is amazing, but too dangerous for a swim. Hence empty. Nice pool, but I’m a swimmer. If you want total isolation and one menu to eat from, this is a great place. Bring friends and books.

Simply Magnifico

Paradise! Lovely small resort with friendly, helpful and attentive staff. This is rural Mexico and most staff speak little English. The rooms are clean and comfortable with hot water showers. Nice pool, amazing views, good food both for the included breakfast and purchased dinners. You can walk miles on this relatively secluded beach but swimming is NOT recommended due to strong surf and currents. Abundant birds and aquatic life. We saw whales and dolphins daily! There is minimal light pollution here making for magnificent night skies. The drive here from Puerto Vallarta is more than 2 hours due to traffic congestion, speedbumps and potholes but the destination is well worth the effort. Taking the bus is possible but would be challenging. We have traveled extensively in Mexico both on and off the beaten path. This hidden gem has won a place in my heart and I can hardly wait to return!
