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.

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.

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.

Lovely, exotic property in Amapas, the hills of Zona Romantica. We had a spacious 2 bdrm with pull-out sofas in the living area. It had a jacuzzi tub, full kitchen, and washer/dryer. It's a beautiful property and away from the riff-raft. The ocean views are lovely. The balconies are large and there is a small putting green. Good restaurant/bar. The restaurant is external, so be prepared if there's heat or humidity. They do have fans, and the bar is open during pool hours. The staff is very kind and helpful. The pools and lounging areas are kept immaculate. Now, for those who don't want to trek up and down a hill or cross a road, this might not be for you. But you can always call a taxi or Uber. We did both multiple times a day and had no problem. The beach is not far. There is a stairway through the resort down to Federal Highway 200. From there, you walk about 750 yards, turn the corner at the OXXO and Farmacia and head to the beach or malecón. You can take a funicular for free next to The Pinnacle down to street level, and straight ahead is Playa de los Muertos and the pier. Taxis hang out two blocks down at Miche Chavas, a popular corner store. And buses for Boca de Tomatlán, Mismaloya and Ánimas are down the street, past Pemex gas station, around the corner. The bus for Jardín de Botanical is around the corner in the opp. direction. We felt very safe, even at night. You're never alone walking 'cause there are other resorts in the area that people are walking to as well.
