In serious need of refurbishment
This hotel is old and in need of renovation. The rooms are nothing fancy. The water pressure is so low. I had to shampoo my hair at the pool showers. We could not see through the windows as they were covered with a dingy plastic, so we were unable to see the view of the ocean. You must run the shower for 15 minutes to get lukewarm water. There are lots of stairs and no elevators; this may be a problem for some. This hotel is overpriced for what it is. Your pay for location and beach access.
No elevator, lots of stairs.

The property has a beautiful location on the beach the staff in some areas need more training but will do anything you ask. Very nice people. facility is tired in areas. What ruined my stay was EXPEDIA misrepresenting the room i was getting. What was advertised and what I got were totally different. I am sure all hotels have less desirable rooms and this is what Expedia got me. Staff showed me the room I thought I was getting and it was lovely and would have been a treat to stay in. My first and last time with Expedia.

Classic Mexico, Right on the beach
This place is a classic old Mexican resort, right on the beach. Great convenient location. And pretty affordable for where it is. Lots of stairs to keep you in shape on your vacation. Staff was friendly and attentive. Watch the sunset from your deck, and go to sleep to the sound of waves.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The property overall was good. The only 2 things that could be improved upon was the way they handled the credit card info at check in. We had to give them the credit card times the day we checked in and they still did not have the information the day we checked out. Breakfast was not up to par. We ordered what we wanted and they gave us what they wanted us to have.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is in a lovely location on the beach but it has over 200 stairs to go up and down to get to the room, reception, restaurant and beach. The building is in disrepair and the rooms need upgrading. The fridge in the room was so noisy and got really hot. The ceiling fan was not properly attached to the ceiling. The majority of the staff were great. I would not stay there again. There are many hotels on that beach which are much nicer.

Ad says “pet friendly”, maybe so but you can’t take them anywhere and not supposed to leave alone in your room, and a 600 peso per day charge, not mentioned. Didn’t find out room had no AC until check in. Some of the cheapest TP we’ve seen anywhere. The view was great from room balcony. Short taxi ride to market and restaurant area. Overall, not worth the price we paid.
