Hotel Torre De Oro (Closed Permanently) Formerly: Abbey Hotel

The best place to stay!

The owner and his staff makes you feel like you are visiting family! So close to everything and all events. It is a must in PV.

Nice, clean, great location

Stayed for 5 days. The staff is friendly and fun. The rooms are average at best. Make sure you get an ocean view or else you'll be looking at the burned out buildings across the street. Has a bar and pool, though I would skip both. The pool is freezing as it's it is covered from the sun for most of the day. No tanning, or boys, hanging out here. The beach is a block away. The beach and water are better on the hotel zone side, but Romantica is the fun place to be. You can stay anywhere in this area and feel totally comfortable. This is a nice place that could use a few updates. I'm not against staying here again, but it's not calling out my name.

Great location, clean but average facility

I visit Puerto Vallarta at least once a year for the past 17 years, and have stayed at numerous locations. I prefer the area south of the river known as Zona Romantica. The Abbey is located on a small street in the area which has a large number of bars/lounges and restaurants and is only 2 blocks from Las Muertos beach so the location is very good. The hotel staff is accommodating; the rooms are kept very clean. This is a very basic tourist hotel, Id rate it 2 stars. Beds are average, some rooms are smaller than others, many have a balcony, but it is often only big enough for one person. The A/C is not quite adequate in the summer season when the humidity is high. If the rooms had ceiling fans, then it would be fine but neither of the rooms I was in did. Rooms also do not have a mini-refrigerator for keeping drinks and food cold. These are two amenities that I have come to expect in most PV hotels. I did have an issue with being assigned a room that wasn't what I reserved and it did take almost an hour to get the matter taken care of, other than that the service was good and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

My home away

I have travelled all over the world and this was my first time in PVR. I was impressed with the room, cleanliness and the welcoming staff...especially Carlos. I had a 7 day vacation but extended it for an extra 5 days. It is close to the beach and you can meet a lot of friendly people along the way. I would recommend it highly.Very safe for singles or family.

Frequent Flyer

I visit PV fairly often and The Abbey is where I choose to stay more than anywhere else. Close to the beach but also the bars, restaurants and sites. A taxi is hardly ever necessary, everything is a walk away. The rooms are nice enough and the rates are usually pretty good. Why not?
