Beautiful resort, great value for money
Pros:

Beautiful resort right on the beach in the quaint town of Quimixto.
Had a great stay with family including kids.
Very beautiful tropical setting, relaxed atmosphere, simple clean room and facilities, friendly staff. Lots of tropical foliage, butterflies, birds.
Very nice beach, great for swimming, playing, boogie boarding, surfing, kayaking. Got to see a few whales as well in winter.
Resort provided complimentary boogie boards, surf board, kayak, volleyball.
The on-site restaurant was conveniently located on the beach, but we preferred for the most part the food in the town.
Convenient location just a few minutes walk from Quimixto pier and other restaurants.
30 minute hike to a very nice waterfall in which you can swim.
30 minute very scenic coastal hike to Las Animas beach.

Staff helped arrange boat transportation to PV, also let us keep our luggage at their other hotel in PV so we could conveniently roam around the city on the way back before heading to the airport.

Spotty wifi, almost no cellular connection.

Desconexión pero sin dejadez
Pros:

Hotel muy bonito y remoto en un pueblito al que solo se puede acceder en barca. Pasamos 4 días muy relajados y desconectados. Eso sí es para año hacer nada pues a las 6 de la tarde ya está todo cerrado y no hay donde ir. Incluso El restaurante del hotel cierra a las 6pm. El primer día tuvimos que ir al pueblo a la bodeguera y cenar un pan con queso y jamón. Si buscas desconexión y naturaleza si, si buscas restaurantes y ocio no!

Cons:

Que todo cierra a las 6pm. Ni siquiera hay bar abierto en el hotel. Las habitaciones deberían tener nevera ya que si está todo cerrado por lo menos poder tener tus bebidas en tu habitación.

Hotel no tan relajante, hicieron una fiesta sin advertirnos.
Pros:

El Staff fue muy amable en todo momento.

Cons:

Hubo una fiesta durante los días que nos quedamos, algo que nunca se nos avisó. El ambiente relajante que nos atrajo del lugar no se logró vivir ya que había música y mucho ruido de gente todo el tiempo. Hizo que la experiencia no fuera nada grata.

Pros:

The team and management couldn't have been more attentive and helpful. From WhatsApp communication with Jaq at reception months and weeks leading up our arrival, to extraordinary service by Jairo, concierge/food server and general source of valuable information, and Christian, environmental engineer, who has done remarkable work with sustainable waste management on site. The location is fabulous, facilities are more than adequate and the beach restaurant food and drinks we were served were delicious. Just a short boat ride from Boca de Tomatlán, which is approximately 50mins drive from PV airport. The accommodations are steps away from a swimming beach, and there is a clean blue swimming pool on site. Spa options are available too, we had massages Luz who knows how to knead those knots to a state of relaxation.

Cons:

Nothing significant enough to mention.

Pros:

Absolut amazing place run by beautiful people. They made our stay at Amaca the best possible experience and I can recommend everyone to stay here if you want to spend some time in Quimixto. Also they currently actively work on a project to make their resort more sustainable and eco friendly which represents their deep interest in preserving this hidden gem.

What a hidden gem! Absolutely amazing location on a secluded beach, very peaceful, surrounded by nature. Although only accessible by a boat, it's very easy to get there from Puerto Vallarta. Staff was lovely as well :)

Super relaxing beach away from society; but with an adventure to get there
Pros:

Extremely beautiful, comfortable and even romantic if you are looking for something like that. It is excellent to go and relax and forget a little about society and the stress that it implies. Highly recommended if you like adventure.

Cons:

It's difficult to get there and you also have to pay for a water taxi to get there and leave. And even to get from the dock to the hotel. I think if you keep that in mind and you like adventure you can enjoy it.
