Really enjoyed my stay here, the location is great, loved having access to the bigger hotel and also having a more private roof top pool! Only downside was the bar was always closed so could only get drinks at the other hotel. A/C worked really well in the rooms and friendly staff. Overall it was great!

Pros:
Has Ac
Clean
Rooftop pool is very well kept

Cons:
1. Door card needed to be replaced every single day of the 5 days I stayed here which was a hassle.
2. It’s 25 dollars USD extra per person for any additional person per night. That applies to visitors as well. (for us it was an additional 100 USD not anticipated, 2 people total in our room)
3. Our initial room was the superior room which flooded after me and my spouse showered back to back. Maybe 25-30 minutes total. They then replaced our room with a less desirable room not of equal quality. No refund or discount for this.

Final thoughts: Meh it was aesthetic in photos but realistically I wouldn’t stay here again. Too much of a hassle

The hotel was lovely, the pool fantastic, due to low season there was no service to get your drinks or snacks, we paid for All inclusive, so if you need water , drink or anything you have to go down to their sister property Los Arcos and get it yourself, the dinner buffet is a hit and miss, we ended skip it and going out to dinner since there is so many restaurant around the property.

Overall was good experience, if I go back? Not sure maybe I explore another all inclusive.

We had the all inclusive option, which gave us access to all the other hotels owned my playa los arcos. In doña Susana there’s not really much going on, but the pool on the main hotel is really nice, and right next to the restaurant and bar. The food was amazing and the staff provided probably the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. We also received an upgrade to a room with a balcony due to it being our honeymoon trip, which was really nice! No microwave inside the room, but we truly didn’t need one, since all the food we had was fresh and made on the spot! Also, the AC inside the room was life saving and always worked perfectly

I stayed in one of the renovated rooms with a balcony! It was a nice room and had great closet storage. The bathroom area was spacious as well. The balcony was a nice place to sit.
The rooftop was awesome! Very beautiful and great views. You have access to the pools at the Los Arcos Suites across the street and also to the beach club/pool at Playa Los Arcos. They were all great locations to hang out at!
Very close to the beach, shops, restaurants. The staff were also very friendly!
I really enjoyed my stay here!

Moises at reception was amazing. Very knowledgable and accomodating. Always has a smile on his face. Gracias Moises for everything. See you next year!

Couple disappointments - key card system needs to be replaced. Had to get new keys multiple times daily as they would self deactivate. Staff continually advised about keeping key cards away from cell phones but yet we still had issues.

Rooms and beds could use updating.

There was no staff upstairs at the lounge/bar. This was a huge part of why we booked Casa Susana. The reasoning as to no staff was just silly. We were told because of the day the cartel leader was assisinated. A monrh later still no staff.

Staff experience really depends on who’s at the front desk — but overall, most of them were great and helpful.

Breakfast at the sister hotel was okay, around a 3-star level — nothing special but decent.

One downside is that the pool and beach area only open at 10 AM, which felt a bit late.

The rooftop was really nice — private and quiet, perfect for a more relaxed, kid-free pool vibe.

The location is excellent, right in the gay neighborhood, close to everything and very convenient.

Overall, it’s good for the price, but don’t expect anything amazing.

I would come back again 👍

The room was comfortable and the bed and shower were good. AC was excellent and quiet compared to other places. Beautiful pool and patio area. Some slight amenities issues such as a broken light in the bathroom and slow drainage in the shower.

I would get a junior suite next time. There is no coffee maker or kettle in the standard room and free coffee and hot water in the lobby ends at 10 am. Staff tried to accommodate but it was not the best situation. Also you only get 2 bottles of water when you get housekeeping. Maybe need filtered water canisters.

Location was great. Less than 2 blocks from the beach. The room was quiet at night. You get access to the beach club at Los Arcos which was easy to use. Umbrella, towels and chairs set up for you.

I had access to the buffet for breakfast at Los Arcos. Good service, decent food and lovely location. I would have liked more non-meat choices at the buffet in the hot food area and additional salad choices. The porridge was essentially milk with a bit of porridge bits here and there. The on demand items like omelettes, quesadillas and hotcakes were excellent. Ate dinner there a few times. Very good food. Entertainment each night at the restaurant which was quite good and varied including musicians, dancers and singers. One time there was breakfast entertainment. The guitarist was amazing. Overall a great place. I would stay again. One of the nicer places I stayed at during the two months in Puerto Vallarta.

Location. The hotel is in a great central location. Easy to get to all of the things going on in the Zona Romantica. The staff was nice. The rooms were clean, but fairly minimal. We changed our room from a standard to a balcony. The standard was quite dark. The patio was very nice and a good place to hang out by the pool and also after hours at night. It was a nice place to come back to after a busy day of adventuring and moving about town.

Room was the same as always, nothing special. Was a tad musty. I honestly stay at this hotel for location and amenities but lately they just aren’t it anymore. The staff has been not the friendliest when just allowing my friends up to my room for 5 seconds to grab my stuff, made it very hard and difficult to get day passes, and to pay for a night for my friend. I understand its December, but there’s a better way to speak to my guest and I then like we are prisoners. Alejandro was the best attendant, front desk person ever! He made my questions simple to be answered, offered me water when I needed it, and just treated me and my guest with the upmost respect. Alejandro at Playa as my server is always the best and he is my favorite! Always keeps my drinks full, makes sure i am taken care of, and i will always come back for them! Power outage didn’t happen this time! Yay! Ac works, and the room is just really musty from the water. That is honestly my only bad remarks. Been coming to PV for over a decade and love this hotel because of the adults only. Very quite. Location is amazing. This time just the service was not great.

Great location and clean which are the most important features. They could try a little harder at selection and service at the pool and not rely on the sister hotel for all the good stuff.

We've stayed at Casa Dona Susana a number of times over the years and usually had a very good experience. This time our experience was a bit mixed. The management has made some welcome improvements to the hotel since the last time we visited, including upgrading the poolside amenities. They have let some of the facilities basic infrastructure degrade, however. For example, when we arrived the in-room safe wasn't functional so it had to replaced while we stood there and waited. Not the most welcome development after twelve hours of travel. Then our keys stopped working. This happened no fewer than seven times during our weeklong stay, and not because we were rubbing our keys up against our phones--although, even if we had, it's 2025, and this really shouldn't cause a problem. Everytime it happened, the second key wouldn't work, which sometimes meant one of us was left stranded at the hotel waiting for the other person to return so that we could have both keys remade at the same time, which was a huge inconvenience. Bottom line: the lock and key system is clearly old and increasingly dysfunctional and it needs to be replaced. It shouldn't take a negative review such as this to prompt the managers of a supposedly four star hotel to become aware of the problem and act on it.

We had a lovely stay! The area was safe, and the hotel was clean. We had and all inclusive package we purchased from Expedia which also included our plane tickets as well. We ate all our meals at the beautiful sister property Playa Los Arcos which had the restaurant at their Resort. It was a short walk to get to the neighboring property across the street and wasn't a problem at all for us each day. The air conditioning was great in our room and our bed was comfortable. I will mention that the room is small but it was absolutely sufficient for us to sleep and shower. There also is a pool on the 4th floor, which also has lounge chairs for relaxing. There's also an area to eat and get drinks up by the pool on the site. The Beach views were great from the sister property and I also was able to order drinks while lounging at the beach as part of my all-inclusive package. We had a great time and on Saturday the hotel included a free performance while we ate dinner . I also highly recommend the rhythms of the night show as well which has nothing to do with this hotel but was a wonderful experience.

Upon check-in, I encountered some challenges due to my hearing difficulties and the desk clerk’s accent, but he was incredibly polite and patient. However, I was disappointed to discover the hotel’s strict wristband policy. As someone who enjoys having friends visit, I found it frustrating that guests were not allowed to enter my room without a wristband. This policy felt overly restrictive, especially considering that the hotel is not fully all-inclusive.

The first room I had was horrible. I tried to make it work for two nights. I did not sleep either night. On day three I went to the desk at 6am and begged them to move my room. When I did what they said (pack my stuff, get out at 11, return at 3, and they would issue a new room) I was then told that it was not possible. The poor desk clerk - I know he was not trying to be difficult but after two nights of no sleep (NOTE TO HOTEL: change the damn batteries in the smoke detector in the lobby/atrium once and for all- it beeps all night long!) and having been told at 6am what would happen (she promised me) - I know I was short and snarky. He eventually called his manager and they put me in another room. The new room has a newer mattress, and at least I did not feel like I was laying on a coroner slab - not kidding- felt like I was laying on cement or maybe a box spring and not a mattress (it wasn’t just a box spring- I did check). I want to emphasize that the staff were the highlight of my stay.

Staff was amazing. The location was great, and the rooftop pool was lovely. The access to the beach and sister hotel was great, and the food for the all-inclusive was very good.

There were a couple of negative items. Our room had obvious moisture/mold issues which could be smelled and seen immediately upon entering the room. Also, there was no coffee available in the rooms or on site. The only coffee available at the all-inclusive restaurant was extremely hot and burnt and awful. There were espresso machines at the bar, but after asking many times it was clear tgat the staff did not know how to use them and espresso based coffees were unavailable.

This hotel is a SCAM. The rooms smelled TERRIBLE, the bathrooms were DIRTY, and there was black mold on the walls and AC vents. We had to change rooms three times, and none looked like the photos online.

To make things worse, our towel keys were STOLEN from our room on the last day, and the hotel still charged us $15 each — the same thing happened to our friends staying there too. Very suspicious.
AVOID this place.

The standard room door had no weather stripping around the door, which allowed insects to freely come into the room (wide gaps existed around most of the door). While the authenticity of the resort was appreciated, some of the rooms were in dire need of renovation (3 other guests were in my party and we each had separate rooms). A friend's shower flooded, leaving water in his entire room. Fixtures in my bathroom were broken (i.e., knob to open window) and I was unable to open to the bathroom window to let steam out. A friend's room had stains on the wall and bedding.

The all-inclusive package is not worth the additional money. The variety in food was poor and you simply could not enjoy the dining experience due to birds defecating on the seats and table, while also attempting to eat your food. The panhandlers were excessive during every dining experience. The resort brought a hawk to deter the birds, but this was not done consistently. You'd be better off patronizing the local restaurants, which had great food. Also, guests should be aware that you are not allowed to have any visitors, which should be upfront. Friends visiting for the holiday at other resorts could not visit my friends and me. As a seasoned traveler, I do not think the experience warrants the money. My friends and I took this vacation to relax and had to deal with too many stressful issues (room issues, dining issues, panhandlers). The staff were pleasant overall, but I would never revisit this resort.

Casa Dona Susana was very clean with comfortable beds, bedding and towels. Has a quaint Mexican charm to it, and would highly recommend.
The only annoying part of the stay was a constant chirping coming from the lobby portion of the hotel. When inquiring about it, they said it had to do with a temperature sensor. Hopefully this’ll be fixed soon so others can enjoy a quite stay.

I had an amazing stay and experience at this property. I got the all inclusive package which was really convenient and worth the price! The area is perfect and very walkable. Right across from the beach and the staff were very welcoming/ helpful. You are constantly greeted and there’s always staff on the property even at night so you feel very safe. The pool on the rooftop was nice and secluded if you prefer more privacy after a long day to relax. There’s many restaurants near by in case you want to try different foods and the nightlife did not disappoint. I would highly recommend staying here!! I will most certainly book again in the future.

Adequate but great location.

The hotel is very cute and the roof top is nice, but this is downtown so noisy. There is a lot of hotel noise and street noise which is somewhat expected in DT. The beds are hard! The staff is very friendly. The hotel smells like mildew and pool times are coming off. I’ve stayed here before and loved it, but they put all the money into the remodel of the bar and front and didn’t deal with mildew and room comfort. Overall, the location is great if you want to be DT and walk to everything, but next time I will stay somewhere else for comfort and quiet and hopefully won’t smell like mildew.
