We missed our flight at the airport in Puerto Vallarta and randomly picked a hotel from our guide book. We were SO DELIGHTED to find Los Cuatros Vientos. Such a charming little hotel. The proprietor, Gloria, (English speaking American) stayed late to greet us!! The food was exceptional at their restaurant "Chez Elena". Fine gourmet dishes with lovely presentation and... more

I had my first stay at Los Cuatros Vientos last month -- and I am hooked. If you find the mega-resorts to be sterile, snooty and too removed from real Mexico, this is the place for you. Small, quaint and packed with character, Los Cuatro Vientos is a hidden jewel in old Vallarta. At first I was afraid to be... more

My husband and I just returned from a 2 week trip to Mexico, mostly around the Puerto Vallarta area, where we had never been before. Our first stop was Los Cuatro Vientos hotel for three days. We were a day late arriving, due to an airline delay. On arrival were given a small room with two twin beds! I asked... more

While staying at the Los Cuatro Vientos hotel in October, we dined at its restaurant, Chez Elena. The food there was excellent, enjoyable all the more so due to the delightful and intimate atmosphere of this semi-outdoor restaurant. While dining, the manager (also its owner) visited with us at our table and we were treated to a brief history of... more

My Wife & I returned to 3-A the lovely Front room on Los Cuartro's third floor where I proposed to her almost exactly 10 years ago This is not the Hilton & not for those that need to be entertained but a true Mexican Inn. While I have been staying at this bit of history since 1986 this was our... more

If you want to experience real Mexico, real Vallarta, be close to downtown, and are in physical shape, this rustic hotel is ideal. The hotel has probably not changed much over the last 30 years or so, which means simplicity at it's best. With such simplicity comes a feeling of being left alone by the staff, which I personally like.... more

Based on the reviews there seem to be widely varying opinions about Cuatro Vientos, and after spending a week there we can understand some of it. The hotel is up the hill, with about 150 vertical steps from the Malecon (boardwalk) to our third floor room. Don't go there if steps are a problem for you! But the height gives... more

Our trip was in 2000, and we stayed in Puerto Vallarta for 2 weeks. We chose to book a hotel in downtown Puerto Vallarta for a couple a days at the end of our trip. So, I searched on the internet and came across this hotel's website. The website showed an adorble room with brightly colored decor and what appeared... more

Los Quatro Vientos is one of the best finds in Puerto Vallarta. The hotel is located high in the hills above the city and you can truly get a feel for neighborhood living in Puerto Vallarta. The sounds of the city waking up each morning are things I recall frequently. I love this hotel because it is quaint, boutique, colonial... more
