I had a very mixed time at El Jardin. I stayed at the Hibiscus House, which I would not recommend. It is basically a shack with curtains as walls and has no privacy. The curtains didn't close so everyone could see you. It also allowed all of the night lights into it so that your sleep was disrupted by those... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at El Jardin. Our accommodation was the Eagle's Nest and we were perched up on a rock with a stunning view. The hanging bed rocked us to sleep and we would wake up to see the sunrise while lying in bed. There is a large open communal kitchen and living area which we really liked... More

Imagine a village in Paradise with burros instead of cars. Instead of on roads, you'll wander and probably get pleasantly lost on cobblestone footpaths as they wind through homes and restaurants. Children run around safely. Dogs scurry everywhere. Every restaurant is better than the last, the tables all outside. Fairly recent Ex Pats make a living side by side with... More

We had a wonderful time at El Jardin just kicking back doing a whole lot of nothing! Rocky was a fantastic host who's hospitality went way beyond any expectations. We stayed in the Eagle's Nest which was a quaint pelapa with a beautiful view of Yelapa with a cute balcony to take it all in. The resort has a great... More

Its maybe a 15 minute walk to the main beach The accommodation itself is rustic, and wlecoming. The whole place has a... More

Our family lives and works in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. Yelapa, Mexico is about an hour away by bus and water taxi from us. So we planned our first overnight getaway to Yelapa and El Jardin was our choice for overnight accommodations just this past weekend. We were looking for something rustic, charming and a place that was comfortable for our... More

My family (mom and kids 20 and 22) traveled to Yelapa in Januany 2012. We really loved El Jardin. We stayed in Casa Banana. Beds were comfy and living space clean. We had a beautiful view of the bay. We loved the rustic feel and great snorkeling right in front of the compound. Our hosts were warm, kind and very... More

This was our first time staying in Yelapa, although we had taken a day trip before. If you come from PV on water taxi and ask to be let off at Playa Isabel (a tip- fare seems to be cheaper if you buy it right when you want to board the taxi than at a beach travel stand; also one... More

We stayed in yelap in November 2011. We met a local who recommended coming to El Jardin for their ceviche on Tuesday night. We showed up and met Rocky and Anne and had a great time sharing stories, drinking the deadliest margaritas and having a wonderful fresh ceviche. A warm welcome and honest people. We will see them again. A... More
