    The window in the bathroom did not totally shut which allowed bugs and street noise to enter the room.

    The signs saying we weren't allowed to hang our wet bathing suits on the railing. = )

    The breakfast buffet was good, but since it wasn't free, I ate breakfast elsewhere 2 of the 4 days.

    2nd day of trip of a 2 day stay there. The pool was closed for maintenance. So no use of main pool. The other pool was tiny and full of wild birds using it as a bath, full of feathers and bird droppings. Didn't want to swim there at all due to health concerns. Breakfast buffet I paid extra for was very disappointing. I checked out on second day and requested a refund for room and 2nd days prepaid breakfast buffet for 2 but they would not issue a refund on either. Bad experience.

    Hotel was clean

    We were very unhappy and disappointed about the non-existent wifi in our room or even in the lobby! The staff were unable to be of any help. The restaurant next door which was recommended by the staff was terrible. The $120 MXP each was expensive for what was offered which we did not enjoy. Much better breakfast restaurants down the road at Lo de Marcos.

    We liked being on the nice sandy beach which was great for walking. There were lots of loungers for relaxing too. Good location for enjoying some of the local restaurants.

    The room they gave me had no coffee maker or fridge. Important items on a vacation. Had a view of the downtown area but almost nothing of a ocean view. Tv down here is lacking, barely 1 English Channel and that's CNN! Wifi in the room non existent unless u leaned out the window. Wouldn't return.

    Very nice location on the beach central to the town

    No privacy between rooms. This wasn’t at all made clear on the website. Basically a few potted plants separated our outdoor dining/kitchen from our neighbours. There was a a lot of noise from discos in the area until 3 or 4 AM. Would need earplugs! Roperty was run down and needs work.

    Location was good, on the beach. Staff were helpful and friendly.

    We are swimmers. The hotel is a gem: wonderful attentive staff, clean, with not too many gringos, in a comfortable town, on a wide sandy beach that is perfect for swimming (no surfboards--only an occasional banana and a couple jet skis). Shhhhh! Keep it a secret.

    Well, our second night, someone snuck into our room while we were sleeping and stole our cell phones and my friends purse which was lying by her head in the bed. Very scary. At 6am, we realized we were robbed. We then realized the window was open and neither one of us had opened it we were in the second floor with no outside access. The grass and flowers below had not been trampled. we ran to the front desk no one there, but the maintenance man was working we asked him to call the police. He asked why and then went back to the room with us. He was shocked and called the police for us. He returned to our room to tell us he had called the police and left a message for the manager. At 7am, no police, no manager. We went to the front desk and the staff person came to our room. He explained to us that he would call the police, his manager. Then write down the steps we needed to take. It seemed he had done this many times. Police never showed up. Manager NEVER attempted to contact us. Went to tourist police station to fill out a report. The man helping us said it sounded like an inside job. It is certainly what it felt like to us. We were very disappointed not to hear from the police OR the manager. The purse was found by a beach vendor on the beach at El Capitan. If the police OR manager had done their jobs, we would have had the purse returned right away. Fortunately, the beach vendor gave it to an ex pat who posted on facebook. Our friend saw the post and we were able to retrieve the purse a few days later. Cash and glasses missing, but passport in purse. Thank Goodness. We were upset that the police and manager did not do their jobs. We felt we were targeted as 2 older, single , American women. We also feel it was an inside job as the front desk staff new exactly what we needed to do to report it. There was never talk about any compensation for what we had to deal with!!!!

    The location was fabulous. The rooms were very clean and comfy. Close to the beach which was beautiful.
