Early this week, we heard about San Trópico, a new boutique hotel located in Marina Vallarta that opened its doors this past May and is starting to get local attention due the uniqueness of its Mexican, chic, bohemian ambiance and exquisite spaces, ideal for those looking for a quiet place to stay on their next Vallarta vacation or simply spending a relaxing day by the pool.

Encouraged by the opportunity to explore the place, we connected with Carlos Pérez, the young and friendly entrepreneur behind San Trópico, who gave us a tour through the property and direct access to its amenities. Originally from Mexico City and with previous experience in the hospitality industry, Carlos moved to Puerto Vallarta two years ago along with his father, to start the project. “We repurposed these buildings, a former condo complex, and created all the spaces, ambiances and amenities you now see. We wanted San Trópico to represent Mexico, so we included elements such as the Acapulco style chairs, traditional colors, and the Mexican papel picado ornaments in the common areas,” he explains.

At San Trópico, guest will have a relaxing experience. This charming and spacious villa is a unique surf and yoga resort nestled between the beach and the beautiful neighborhood of Marina Vallarta.
