01 / Why 5 de Diciembre

Stay in the
neighborhood.

In 5 de Diciembre, a stay comes with a neighborhood around it. Homes share the streets with corner cafés, taquerías and family-run shops. You can pick up something for breakfast, head toward the water, and come back with a few things for the kitchen. It’s a residential part of Puerto Vallarta, with the everyday comings and goings that brings.

Playa Camarones is part of the appeal. The beach sits close to the streets where CINCO’s studio and apartments are based, while the neighborhood also rises into the hillside. Centro is nearby, so a day in central Puerto Vallarta can begin on foot. There’s no need to make every meal or outing a separate expedition.

The pleasure is in having choices close to home: coffee at a corner café, seafood for lunch, a local market, dinner on the way back. Some days you’ll go further. Other days, the neighborhood is enough. Staying here gives you a place in that routine, with your own room to settle into between walks.

Choose the part of the neighborhood that suits how you travel. A hillside home and a street-facing apartment offer different ways to stay here; read the location and stair notes before deciding. CINCO’s collection brings those choices together, with locally owned places and recommendations that start with the streets around them.
