On paper, the two-pearl Las Casitas sounds like a charming inn with authentic Mexican design, seven unique rooms, a welcoming proprietor, and a tiny pool. But in reality, the property is far too rustic for many travelers, with dingy, deteriorating rooms that smell of mold and have dust-covered surfaces. For those who don’t mind these pitfalls, Las Casitas provides spacious rooms with full kitchens, though their unique floor plans don’t allow for much privacy. The property is located on a residential street, about a 10-minute walk from downtown Guayabitos. For slightly pricier, though still budget-friendly nightly rates, Las Cabinas del Capitan is in the center of town, and offers beachfront accommodations with a larger pool and an on-site restaurant.

In the scrappy town of Rincon de Guayabitos, the two-and-a-half-pearl Decameron Los Cocos is the cream of the crop on a swimmable stretch of beautiful beach. The all-inclusive is a sprawling family-friendly property, with Decameron’s signature bright colors and fun atmosphere. The hotel attracts mostly local families, with a smattering of Americans and Canadians as well. Food and drinks are mediocre across the hotel’s three restaurants and bars, but round-the-clock entertainment appeals to travelers looking for a good time. Don’t expect modern room decor or amenities, the Decameron’s 240 rooms are dated, but essentially on par with Rincon de Guayabitos’ other lodging options. Travelers in search of something a bit more posh might prefer Hotel Riu Vallarta, which has nicer rooms and better amenities for pricier nightly rates in Nuevo Vallarta.
