La recordaré y la repetiré
Pros:

El Hotel está super bien ubicado con playa y muchas opciones de compras, diversión y comidas. La atención del personal amable en todo momento, habitaciones confortables y limpias. Linda piscina, la playa limpia

Cons:

Tal vez lo único es el servicio en la alberca, se tardaron un poco en servir a pesar de que no había mucha gente

Buena ubicacion
Pros:

La ubicacion, la relacion calidad-precio es debatible, pero lo vale por la ubicacion, ya que a veces no era necesario usar automovil.

Cons:

Que la publicacion menciona estacionamiento, solicite 2, sin embargo al llegar, nos mencionaron que solo cuentan con 4 o 5, no recuerdo, y son solo conforme se desocupen y no se apartan.

Great location but noisy
Pros:

Great location but our room was very noisy by the pool. Water pressure got the shower was super low. Breakfast vouchers weren’t provided to us in time for us to use them, which was unfortunate.

Charming Mexican style hotel in an excellent location
Pros:

I stayed for a week at the end of March. I absolutely loved this hotel but with a caveat so I'm writing this so others can make best choices for themselves.  The best:  great location, super clean rooms, comfortable beds and excellent value. The included buffet breakfast had scrambled eggs, chilaquiles, refried beans, pancakes or French toast, fresh fruit, yogurt, fresh juice and coffee. The food was surpringly tasty for a small buffet and all the staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is right on a beautiful beach (albeit rocky so bring shoes) and going to sleep at night to the sound of the surf is heaven. Good margueritas with happy hour from1-3 and 5-9  Beautiful old style Mexican decor and furniture. Lots of shade at the pool.  Fridge in the room was a huge bonus to keep snacks, beer and water cold with a freezer for ice! Just ok: You can't charge poolside to your room so you need to bring money to the pool. You can't get anything, not even coffee before 8am on the dot. The hotel is old and it shows and the rooms are very dated (but clean and comfortable). I wish they would set up a self serve coffee by 7 and allow you run a tab for drinks at the pool. Now the caveat, very small pool packed with little kids whose parents don't understand that the pool area is for everyone not just their screaming, splashing and throwing temper tantrums. One little girl screamed in the pool for almost 2 hours before her parents took her out. People bring their own boomboxes and blast music, mostly Spanish, which is super rude and staff do nothing about it.  9am to 9pm the pool is absolutely chaotic and hardly a moment of peace. You can't even nap in your oceanside room because it is also poolside and even closing the windows doesn't block out the noise.  I loved so many things about this hotel but when I go on a vacation, some poolside peace is important and this was one big kiddie pool. I checked out early and paid more to go a different hotel because of it. Also it was Holy Week so perhaps more families than usual. Amazingly and without me asking or complaining, the sweet girl at the front desk fully refunded my unused nights! I am truly looking forward to staying there again for at least part of my next PV trip. So many great things, especially the staff!!

Great home base
Pros:

El Pescador is a simple, clean, family friendly hotel with lovely staff. If you're looking for a home base while you're out exploring, this is a great option. It's within walking distance to: the Malecon, groceries, laundry, street food, shopping and restaurants. The pool is refreshing and the rooms are spotless and spacious.

If you spend a lot of time in your room or like the large resort amenities, this isn't the best option.
