Upgraded my room for free, fantastic maid service, great location, nice to have a restaurant on site. Best value for the money!
Booked this trip last minute so could only get a standard room which was perfect for one person but note these rooms do not come with a view of the beach. Room was clean and on the top floor. Rooftop deck was perfect for watching the sunsets or just lounging. Hotel is a very short walk to the Malecon and safe for a solo traveler. The only downfall was not having a mini fridge in the room, something much needed when you want to keep cold drinks on hand. The staff at the front desk were all very friendly and helpful with recommendations on local places to eat, places to visit and transportation. Would definitely stay here again.
Very nice staff and quick check-in. Maid was fantastic

The staff is always friendly, the hotel is clean, and the location couldn’t be more convenient. I’ve stayed here three or four times now. It’s an older property—probably built in the mid-70s—so it’s not the Ritz, but it’s comfortable and well-kept. If you’re looking for a nice, safe, and clean place to stay with easy beach access, this is a great choice. You can walk right out the back door, through the beach entrance, and have your toes in the sand within moments. We always enjoy our visits and look forward to returning again soon.
Staff in both the hotel and restaurant were great. My housekeeper Isabella was tremendous and jovial. Great view of the entire bay and pier. My only concern was how loud the music on the beach was on the weekend.
Bathroom had no room to move. No water bottles, glasses, wash towel, tv channel guide out dated. No signal. Just a few in English, but poor selections. No laundry service. Good location on beach. I would not recommend

Great view of nothing. We were in a broom closet. It was not safe in this area. The hotel was just ok which is why 3 stars. The staff was nice. The beds were hard and box springs were concrete. Si Senor was the best part but they are expensive. Diffinately would not stay there again.

Beautiful stay
The beach view was beautiful and the staff were extremely nice and changed our bedding daily. Our room was comfortable and it came with a balcony with a stove and mini fridge with other kitchen amenities.
The staff is wonderful, and our room with a balcony overlooking the ocean was very nice. The bathroom was a bit cramped, but I always enjoy staying here
This staff was amazing!!! 10 out of 10. The room was comfy and clean. Two different 5 star family owned restaurants a block away that won’t cost a lot at all. There is a Oxxo (like 7 eleven) across the street. For a budget resort, they surpassed my expectations. Stay at least 5 days to see all around the Zona Romantica. Very safe neighborhood after dark also.
