A little piece of Heaven in Puerto Vallarta - By Dez A La Mocha

It was a sunny Wednesday afternoon when I arrived to the tropical city of Puerto Vallarta. I took an Uber to San Trópico Petit Hotel and as soon as I arrived, I smiled, it felt like I had just walked into a scene from a movie. I grinned as I saw this colorful hotel, a dog peacefully taking a nap on the outside, surrounded by tall trees blowing in the wind.

It did not take long for me to realize I loved the hotel and here are the reasons why:

Friendly Staff

From the moment I arrived, I was enthusiastically greeted by the host and receptionist and they were always eager to answer all my questions and concerns.

The first two days I was traveling solo and they suggested different places I could go sightseeing and things to do.

I was extremely pleased with their suggestions since it was exactly what I was looking for.

San Trópico Petit Hotel’s customer service was superb. They really exceeded my expectations!

Exquisite cuisine

Hands down the BEST MEXICAN FOOD OF MY LIFE! (No, I am not exaggerating when I write this!) Trust me when I say ALL meals were delicious (breakfast, lunch and dinner.) Their chef and kitchen staff cooked homemade-style meals and señora Serafina (Mrs. Serafina) went out of her way to make sure our meals were cooked and served on time.

Also, if we had any allergies, vegetarian or vegan request she would happily substitute it and with a smile.

My favorite meal was breakfast: ‘papas rayadas, huevitos y tostada.’ I also loved ‘jugo de Jamaica.’

Great location & Price

Located in a friendly neighborhood, five minutes from the airport. There is also a beach that is within walking distance.

My room was villa style, fully equipped with everything including a kitchen, spacious rooms and the cutest balcony ever!

Serene environment

One of the things I loved the most about San Trópico Petit Hotel was waking up to the sound of chirping birds. This reminded me so much of back home as a child.

Throughout the hotel you are surrounded by hammocks for you to relax and the view in my room was amazing which overlooked several trees, plants, beautiful flowers and exotic birds.

The relaxed ambiance San Trópico Petit Hotel provides definitely allowed me to achieve serenity and inner peace that was much needed.

Breathtaking Yoga Studio

Every other morning, I took a yoga and meditation class and it was the best way to start my day. The yoga studio is located on the second level and it overlooks the hotel and neighborhood, the view is mesmerizing because it is surrounded by nature. This was one of my favorite spots of the hotel!!

Because of the way it is structured, it really allowed you to completely disconnect from everything and focus solely on your meditation.

Instagram worthy

This hotel has the cutest and coziest spots for your epic Instagram and blog shots! Every single corner of the establishment has colorful walls, the perfect pool size (with seasonal floats), vivid décor, a sun terrace, gardens, balcony and a wall dedicated to the iconic Frida Kahlo.

The hotel offers the perfect blend of modern and rustic that allows you to have THAT perfect Instagram picture!

San Trópico Petit Hotel is indeed a magical place and it was my little piece of heaven in Puerto Vallarta
