Liked the ocean view and the sound of waves crashing. Close to the malecon and fine dining. Great for the price.

Not as good as they say.
Definitely, the pictures do not match the reality, at least for the room we got, it was in no good shape. Also at the bar, all the had was beer but no tequila (in Jalisco, the land of tequila) nor any other spirits. The door to the beach was always closed and we had to ask them to open it, and then get in by the main door.

Great location and price point. Very disappointed in the poor wifi service which was basically non-existent. Room had a large mini fridge but to microwave. Staff could have been more prompt in attending to room needs. I would stay here again (as I have previously) but just wouldn’t plan on spending any time in the room except to sleep.

With all of the uncertainly around Covid-19, we were worried about whether we would be able to stay at our hotel that we had booked back in October. We called the hotel 4 days before arriving and were told it was still open and they were adapting to changing regulations as best they could. When we arrived on the Wednesday, the hotel gate was locked but an employee was waiting for us to let us know we had been booked into their sister hotel La Rosita two blocks away. When we arrived at La Rosita, we were greeted with warm welcomes, told all of the paperwork had been dealt with for us, and given breakfast vouchers and bracelets for access to the pool and patio areas. We will definitely be going back to check out El Pescador on another trip. Thanks for the amazing follow-up in challenging times!

We had booked at El Pescador Hotel but when we got there the hotel was closed because of the coved-19 pandemic. We were sent to the sister hotel Rosita. We got a beautiful ocean view suite. Very spacious with a large balcony overlooking the ocean. The only complaint that I have is that the mattress was very hard and not very comfortable. This is tipic for Mexico. The service was excellent!
