The staff was welcoming at arrival. The room was spacious with a small refrigerator for drinks. A huge concrete soaking tub and a patio overlooking overlooking the ocean was a very pleasant surprise! The king size bed with firm mattress provided an excellent night sleep after A-day of walking in the nearby shopping plaza. I would highly recommend this location if you're looking for a reasonably priced stay near the city center.

The best thing is the location. It is in front of their pier which is very convenient for dive pickup and drop off. The next thing is the price compared to location, and it is great. The third is the proximity to night life, dining and shopping. There is no elevator here and it makes for a challenging climb with dive gear and luggage. The staff is friendly and engaging.

Absolutely I would do it again. The place was minimalist and not too easy to find but I dont really need those things. Its near many restaurants and shopping. It is located right across the street from the water. Staff very friendly and helpful. Absolutely I will stay there again if/when I return. PS I think there is parking and the close the gate at night. Next time I will rent a motorcycle to keep here.

Has a good location. But that location is also noisy. Traffic outside at night and people because they are outside can be loud, even after midnight.

Good location

The location was great. Room was large. Extremely dated. No place to sit or lounge. Shutters instead of glass windows made it very loud. It was made worse by sound resonating of concrete wall nest door!

A Great Deal

great value if you're in Cozumel to dive. great staff / clean comfortable rooms. don't let the cheap price fool you, I've stayed in far worse hotels in the US for a lot more money! tips to the wise- don't spend the money for and ocean view 'upgrade'room. You'll get traffic noise all night from the main strip, which is 10 feet in front of the balcony. Also bring a washcloth. They don't have any. I have no idea how people in foreign countries clean themselves, but at Aqua Safari they don't even know what a washcloth is. Small complaints, I will definitely stay there again and skip the super expensive all-inclusives and spend all day on the dive boats.

Très bien situé

Nous étions trois, nous avons réservé une chambre avec un très grand lit et deux lits simples superposés.Les lits étaient très confortables et l'air climatisé fonctionnait bien. L'hôtel est très bien situé sur la rue principale et sur le balcon on avait la vue sur la mer.

Old, simple hotel with a great price and staff!

We booked this hotel to mainly go diving off the island! When we arrived we accepted a beach front room for a small price increase and WOW it was worth it! The hotel is older, simple and right on the main street for easy access to shops and restaurants! I think the best part was the amazing staff and diving! We loved it !

It's a dump, living on its history.

Simply put, the place is a dump, in a good location. Only the exterior of the building has been updated. Incredibly noisy old AC wall unit, poor lighting and an ancient bathroom. The bed was clean, but not very comfortable. In just about any other Mexican location a fair price for the room would be about $25.00. This is said by someone familiar with downscale Mexican hotels.
