We booked the pool side suite which was wonderful for a family of four. Excellent service all around. Breakfast was good and cooks were flexible to meet some of our special requests, especially remembering without asking for our son's daily hot chocolate milk. We stayed a total of 5 nights. They provided transport to/from airport for free ( free if... more

The Quinta Don Jose Boutique Hotel (QDJ) is indeed a jewel. The proprietors, Arturo & Estela Magana, as well as the incredibly attentive staff, are their key for success. The hotel guests are treated as family members with every effort made to satisfy requests for service, answering questions, and generally making the experience of QDJ a very special and enduring... more

Based on the neighborhood we were traveling through, we didn't know what to expect. As soon as we went through the gates, it was like we went to an oasis. There was 11 of us, and we felt very special from the moment we arrived. The margaritas were awesome...especially the mango ones. We ate in the restaurant and it was... more

We've stayed at this hotel both for 4 days to celebrate an anniversary and most recently on our final night of a car trip driving from Canada to Puerto Vallarta. I won't reiterate what others have said but rather focus on why we found it to be the perfect stop on a long trip. 1) Wonderful parking. Not only is... more

Yeah, the place is nice, and it's in the New York Times, blah blah blah. We stayed here and got room number 9, which is really, really bad, and more so because it cost us $80 (before taxes). It's totally enclosed, with no natural light and a window only down to the lobby. Not good. Not fun. And depressing inside.... more

We really enjoyed our stay at Quinta Don Jose Boutique. From the moment you step in the doors and see the first water feature you feel relexed. As we moved through the property to our room we were taken by what a wonderful job had been done with the design and traditional look of the property. We stayed in the... more

We spent one week at the Quinta Don Jose Hotel and would go back without hesitation. Our room was very nice. It was the perfect vacation!!! The food was excellent. (Breakfasts and dinners) We had great service and really enjoyed all of the staff members especially Estella and Abel. The Tours led by Abel were informative and fun. The courtyard... more

- Beautiful grounds (with a hammock my kids loved) - Great (unexpected) restaurant at the hotel (VERY inexpensive) - a fun, social happy hour in the beautiful courtyard (with great live guitar) - Delicious varied breakfast - SUPER friendly people (who really seemed to want to help, not try to extract more revenue) - Really close to the center of... more

My wife and I spent a few days over Easter at La Quinta Don Jose to escape the rainy & cold weather in Seattle. It was our first visit to Guadalajara and we were very happy to have booked this place in Tlaquepaque (approx. 5-7 miles from downtown Guadalajara) rather than something in the city itself. Tlaquepaque is a very... more
