Supposed to be Honeymoon, not Nightmare

It was the worst stay My wife and I have EVER experienced! We had reservations for 9 days. We stayed 1 night and left back for home! It may say resort, but it is not! Maybe in 1950. The hotel has not been kept up at all. Our room including the bathroom was maybe 325 sq ft. You couldn't use the toilet without closing door. No water pressure. No room for luggage. Very low light. Holes in curtains. Room was right next to housekeeping. Street adjacent had sirens running all night. Neighborhood was EXTREMELY sketchy. Drunk & disorderly outside our room till 3am. We had no view except for slums across street. We didnt get pool or beach view, not that it made a difference. Couldnt get another room. It was horrible!

Great location

The location is perfect! The beach also perfect and they provide lounge chairs and umbrellas. We never had a problem getting a lounger and umbrella. The rooms are very small and outdated but we didn’t spend much time in it anyway. The beds are very firm but we’re actually pretty comfortable for us. There was not much street noise to be heard at night either. We did not choose the all inclusive and we were glad we did not. We were able to walk around the town and eat at many different places. Pacos Takos is right around the corner and I highly recommend waiting in line for it!

The hotel is 30 years old and it shows in the rooms. Furniture is heavy carved wood Spainish style. The shower was terrible, going from hot to cold. The main reception area is fine as are the swiming pools. The restaurant breakfast is great and good value. The restaurant attached to the Hotel (Maximillian) is great.

Don't recommend

The bathrooms had mold everywhere, the tub leaked onto the floor creating a tripping hazard, the staff was rude. Only good thing is location.

This is not a 4 star hotel. Rooms were worse than a 1 star motel. You’re staying here purely for the convenience factor of being in RZ.

The rooms are old but clean and comfortable. However, the first night they put us in a room the size of a closet (no kidding). We complained and were able to change rooms the second night. The staff seemed a little put off but we didn’t care - the room was much nicer. Also glad we didn’t go for the all inclusive. The food and drinks at the hotel were not great. There are so many good local restaurants and bars - you’re much better off eating and drinking outside the hotel.
