"We stayed at Blue Chairs for a whole week and had a great experience. The location was excellent—right next to the beach and within walking distance of restaurants and bars. We also had a beautiful ocean view. The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. A special thank you to Sergio, the manager. We had an issue with our first room, and he immediately helped us and moved us to another room. He was extremely kind and made sure we were comfortable. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Great location, beautiful views, and wonderful staff. Thank you again, Sergio, for all your help!"

"We love this hotel and have stayed here three times. We deeply regret their decision to become an all inclusive this Spring. Puerto Vallarta is a great place to go out to eat and enjoy the town, we are not interested in staying in the hotel all the time or paying for food we wont eat. I hope they reconsider this decision, we would return if they did."
