I stayed here for a month in early 2023. The location is great- close to the Malecon and all things in Las Glorias and Versaille. We are living in very close proximity to other people but the guests are friendly. The pool is warm and all rooms face the pool. Almost everyone here is over 55. The worst is that many people smoke and so smoke wafts into the apartment at all times of day and night.

Great Location, Great Pool, Oldies but Goodies in Residence!

I had stayed here two years ago and when I returned this year I saw that there was a definite decline - the place needs some maintenance and a good cleaning.  However, it is still a pretty good value and a nice location.  About a 45 minute walk to the craziness of PV, or a short and cheap bus ride. 
The rooms are comfortable and the kitchenettes are sufficient - there is a large grocery store located very close by.  
The AC in my room worked fine.  No wifi in the rooms, you have to go to the pool area or the lobby.  
The majority of those staying in the place are long term renters and they stake out their places by the pool early in the day - so don't waste any time if you want to get a good location.  The pool area is very nice during the day and actually better than going to the crowded and rough beach.
All in all, good value - but I hope they do a little work on it.

needs some work, but still a nice place.

I would like to share my experience, and give a review since it is important to make other potential guests aware of the policy practiced in this hotel.
Most of the guests here are from Canada and the USA, and they are long term tenants. Some people have stayed more than 8 years (!). My impression is that many of them are okay with the place, due to reasonable rent for long term guests, 12 months lease. However, I also noticed a lot of complaints about the management, and how they behaved, in general when it came to maintenance and things they had promised to fix, or include in the rent. Seemed like they would promise anything as long as the tenant paid cash upfront, and then the management could discount the rent each month instead. Example installing Ac in rooms, they would ask the tenants to pay cash for the purchase of the AC, and later install it, and then discount the rent each month for the tenant..'
However, my complaint is regarding the different answers and info you get from different staff about the rent, and rates. Also the same manager, gave me different prices, and then when I was goint to chose one option, he backed out and said the owners changed their minds and the offer was no longer valid, but an increase of the rate by 150 %! This was two days before I was supposed to arrive from Norway, meaning some planning was made, when you travel so far.. 
He then explained that he was only a worker and the owners, which are 4 siblings, inherited the hotel from their father, and they are not agreeing how to run the place. Now I know that he had just given the same discounted long term rates to other guests days before, so it was very strange.. Anyways, when I know that so many people mentioned how they are running the place and that you cannot trust them, because they come up it with different prices and offers, promise and not promise other things,.. I can understand that it is actually quite normal for this hotel business. Well.. up to each and everyone to judge for themselves, but I do not find a hotelbusiness serious nor professional when they operate like this..
The positive about the place is the pool area, but it is actually not cleaned regularly, so always a lot of insects and "things" in the water surface..

The rooms are very dark, dated and lacks maintenance and modern touch. The furniture are from the 70 ies and the bathrooms and cabinets are very old and dirty. And I experienced a lot of cockroaches especially in the bathroom. 
The maids did a poor job cleaning, but were humble and nice. The same I can say about the general staff working around there, friendly people. However, there are so many hotels and places to rent in Puerto Vallarta, in particular now, so will definately find another place to stay next time!

Unprofessional and dishonest management/ owners.

I arrived in PV later on a Sunday night and was hungry.  A brief walkabout showed that any local restaurants were closed - and then I discovered a huge grocery store less than a block from Plaza Santa Maria.  I stocked up and made use of the kitchen the room featured - then had a dinner of roast chicken and a salad while sitting on my deck overlooking the pool area.  (This sort of set the tone for a lot of my meals in PV, as the cooked food variety at the grocery store was pretty good and so were prices!)  
The room was better than basic - tv worked fine, large fridge and stove worked fine, a/c worked fine and the room was fairly quiet.  My roomy balcony on the third floor overlooked the pool and was a great place to relax in the afternoon sun.  There was also a sun umbrella on the balcony table.
Breakast was included - it was fine.  Eggs or waffles if desired, cereal, coffee or tea, fresh juice, assorted fresh fruit.  All in a large comfortable room off the lobby.
The staff were very helpful and friendly and always present if one was in the pool/lobby area.  There is a well outfitted gym and self serve laundry facilities.  
The pool area is large and catches morning and afternoon sun with a lot of reclining chairs available.  Beach towels are available on a daily basis at reception.  The pool area has nice foliage and plantings and several amusing iguanas.  A very relaxing and comfortable place to read or work on a tan.
The location is a fair distance from downtown but it is a nice safe walk - even later at night.  The bus service is also pretty good.  Also - for anyone carrying on to, or visiting, Sayulita or Bucerias - the stop for those busses is right across the street.  
The wifi is supposed to work only in the pool or lobb area but it also worked fine in my room, which was nice.
It is very clean, bright and safe.  The room was larger than I expected and it is definately away from the large tourist presence in PV.  I would recommend it for a longer stay.  It is a short walk to the beach, down a lane and through a small parking lot.  The beach, like all in PV, is average and parts of it are bouldery.  The sand is coarse,  Of course my favourite beaches are in Hawaii, Zanzibar and Australia - so it's not a fair comparison!
I would definately stay there again.

a great deal in a quiet area.

The Plaza Santa Maria is a must stay for experienced PV travellers. Especially those coming for a longer stay. I am in the middle of a three week trip and must say I am looking forward to my return already.

5 star location: The hotel less than a 30 minute easy walk to the malecon. An Oxxo right next to it, as well as the Mega 2 minutes away. It is not directly on the beach but access to the beach is a 5 minute walk where there are also a couple casual beach bars serving food and drink at excellent prices. Laundry service nearby at the Villas Vallarta plaza, or you can do your own on site for a small fee. 20l bottles of water available on site for 40 pesos and can be set up in your room. 

5 star room: for experienced travellers the room has a kitchenette with all the basic amenities needed to cook, fridge, hot plate and microwave. Coffee maker and toaster.  Excellent AC, ceiling fans, and comfortable balconies overlooking the pool. Beds are comfortable clean with good pillows. Private bathroom. 

5 star apartment/hotel complex: wonderful pool,never too busy. Plenty of lounge chairs. No bar or food service but you can bring your own. The hotel is extremely safe, with gated entry at night. You may feel comfortable leaving your passport et al in the room. Theft does not happen here with professional friendly and hard working staff. Maid service daily, a well stocked continental breakfast with delicious waffles available on request. What I am most impressed with is the safety and the quiet at night. Parties are not allowed and quiet time is after 10pm. Sleep well without barking dogs and honking horns, with rooms facing in it is quiet from 10pm- 8am.

A must stay, if you can get a room as it’s extremely busy and filled with returning Canadians, Americans and professional Mexican travellers. Prices are of GREAT value.

Perfect place for a returning PV traveller!!!!

Very good location, close to a major supermarket and convenience stores. You can walk downtown easily. Large rooms with kitchen and a nice balcony. Very clean. Breakfast included and very clean. Recommended.

Very good value.

A little away from the hustle and bustle of busy Puerto Vallarta centro, but still walkable. The pool is big enough for swimming, not just splashing about, and the outdoor area around the pool is nice with lots of flowers and plants. I had a studio with a kitchen. The stove top with two hot plates is old but works, good enough to cook some proper meals, which is great as it gives you the option to go out or have a quiet evening inside. No oven. A big supermarket, Mega, is just a couple of minutes walk. The place was clean and nice and I felt very safe and comfortable as a solo female traveler. Cable TV and decent sized clean bathroom. Especially enjoyed the balcony with its own sunshade and nice view of pool area (some apartments face out the front to the road, which I wouldn’t recommend). It’s an older place but in good condition. There are some long term guests which probably explains why it feels less like a hotel and more like a shared apartment complex, which I liked. Staff is very nice and helpful. Only downside was the wifi, which hardly ever worked in my room or on the balcony, only in the entrance area. Breakfast is unspectacular, but has plenty of fresh fruit. One beach is close by although I’d recommend to rather walk to other beaches. Playa de los muertos with its many beach front restaurants is about a half hour walk or short taxi or Uber ride. This hotel is a friendly, reasonably priced and cozy place and I’d stay again any time. Not suitable for people looking for a luxury stay but that’s obvious from the price. 

Quiet, safe, clean, nice pool

Our plan was to reserve a hotel to sleep but the plan was to be outside all day so this hotel was perfect for a really low price we had a big room with double bed kitchen bathroom , tv with cable, clean . The hotel is secure , the pool looks ok we did not try it . Breakfast in the morning with fruit coffee and bread, was ok for the price. Wifi not so good it eas really slow or not working

Couple of days 

This is a very nice place. Not luxurious or particularly child oriented, lots of expats renting long term here. Location is very close to airport, prices are cheap, lovely outdoor pool. My room had two firm beds and full kitchen, patio, A/C, basic bathroom with towels. I liked this location for my last few nights, wanting to be close to the airport for my early morning flight back. It's a bus or taxi ride to the downtown area. If you are looking for something basic and clean for a great price, than this could be it.

Clean and simple place

We rented a bedroom suite and stayed for 1 month.  The resort is older but beautiful statues carved of wood saints and the Virgin Mary adorn the grounds and lobby. We had a huge terrace deck with a table and 4 chairs the kitchen was good would have liked better quality cookware but adequate.  The AC was really good one in the bedroom and in one in the lounge.  The pool was perfect and clean you could use the hotel laundry and do your own wash after 5 when the maids were finished for the day.  We had maid service daily and towels daily and linens once a week the maids were awesome please tip they work so hard. The front desk service excellent and friendly.  Next store to Mega Mart with a great bakery the Mexicans love their sugar. About a 1.5 km to the Malecon a nice walk the buses are great.  Sams club and Walmart are further the other direction towards the marina but a good walk and you see all the cruise ships on the way.  There is a Casino across from the marina a huge mall with a movie theatre and english movies and your choice of sweet or salty popcorn.
