About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Stunning River Valley touching the Bay of Banderas.Family friendly.

Situated 20 kilometers south of Puerto Vallarta is a taste of authentic Mexico on the sea. Boca de Tomatlan is the hub for water taxis and all types of ocean excursions on the ocean side and the mouth of the Sierra Madre mountain range for hiking, zip-lining and all types of shore excursions.

La Posada Pacifica is a small inn with only 6 one bedroom suites. All the suites are equipped with a kitchenette with an open design including large patio windows which open up to large balconies overlooking the river valley. The ocean can be spotted just north of the property and is a 3 minute walk or 2 minute swim away. The owners live on-site and are always available to help you plan your vacation and give helpful hints and advice on how best to take advantage of this beautiful area. They are fluent in english, spanish and french which can be helpful in accomodating international travellers. All your essentials are available within the village including beach restaurants, small grocery stores and a liquor store.

The suites are all very well kept, the beds are comfortable, there is always hot water and water pressure, internet and air conditioning.

In addition, a beautiful space is provided for guests on the rooftop patio with a lovely bar area, space for sun-bathing or relaxing, several tables and chairs for large or small events, ping pong table, laundry facilities and an incredible full service kitchen. We also have gas or charcoal barbecue grills.

Bask in the sun, sneak away in the shade and enjoy the lush tropical surroundings teeming with birds and the sounds of the jungle or enjoy some star gazing in this unspoiled paradise.

Puerto Vallarta is a 20-30 minute bus ride away for the taste of city life. The buses run frequently and are very inexpensive at 10 pesos.

A variety of adventures await along the coastline. Visit more remote communities such as Las Animas, Quimixto, Mahajuitas, Yelapa and Los Chonchos which are all accessible via water taxi or by hiring a private boat and guide. For a few pesos, you can enjoy wonderful experiences at these locations instead of booking a public tourn from Puerto Vallarta which are often prices at over $100 per person.

If you would like a more authentic taste of Mexico, this is a great property for you to discover.

Authentic Mexican experience
It was a bit of an adventure finding Hotel Pacifica after a long day of travel, given it is located on the far side of the river with no obvious way to cross, but after asking directions from another "gringo" we found our way across the foot bridge. The suite was fine for three adults although a bit sparse in terms of kitchen supplies. Good enough for a simple breakfast or lunch but cooking supper would've been difficult. However, a couple of decent restos on the beach solved that. The life of the village crossing the walk-way bridge, watching the locals washing clothes in the river, lots of dogs and music added to the "authentic" experience. Truck noise on the highway made sleep a bit difficult at times but all-in-all we enjoyed our stay and would come again. PS..bring coffee....no "real" coffee to be found in town, but Cynthia graciously gave us some.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had a very bad experience staying here. There are no stunning views, comfort is just above camping with creatures, heat and all. Power went out in the town for 12 hours and was never checked on by owner or manager and sat in pitch dark. Pounded on metal door And woken from sleep for payment already made online. We were only there For one night and cancelled our plans to go to yelepa next day as we hadnt slept all night with 90 degree heat, bad odor and cockroach killing duty… sad time for this mom who planned for my kids… advertises air condition and that is false… asked for second fan told there wasnt one…

Our favorite spot!
Amazing little town, hiking trails, beautiful authentic Mexican experience. Beautiful atmosphere, fishing, river, the sound of the jungle, roosters crowing at dawn. Just perfect for me and my daughter... We will be back!!

Can't wait to come back
This property was head and shoulders above what I expected. From the location, to the sound of the river, to the balcony, to the cleanliness and cuteness of the room, to the town itself, the stay, which was supposed to be a quick stopping point on a longer trip, because one of the highlights and we want to come back soon and stay longer. Thank you Cynthia and family!

Wonderful adventure in the jungle! Lovely apartment on the river!
Cynthia and Pierre made our stay a lot easier. Their young son even went grocery shopping with us. I had trouble with all the climbing and stairs, but having a car would have helped. There's a very steep hill up to the bus stop. Make sure you have the shrimp mummy at low Mangos on the beach. Boca is an amazing little town! It's full of the sounds of dogs barking, roosters crowing, and Mexican polkas playing day and night. If you take the water taxi sit towards the back to save your back!
