This is a very interesting hotel made with shipping containers. The rooms are spacious, clean and very well stocked with TV and AC. We had an amazing breakfast at the restaurant by the pool. The pool is very large in case you wanna do laps and is climatized. There's a little rooftop where you can see the lake. Parking is secure and the service was amazing. Oh, and by the way, it's super affordable

Uncomfortable stay

Last visit was such a pleasant trip, we decided to stay here again. This visit, the hotel internet went down since day 1 and never came back. The day we were to check out, we had no water, so we couldn’t take a shower and washed our hands with bottled water.

Hotel del Pescador advertises services it does not have- and even worse, the faulty wiring , faulty and/ or faulty internet and minature rooms constructed from moving cartons make it dangerous to even charge any of your devices. At check in I had to change rooms three times in order to get a room where the AC worked, the television worked or the WiFi worked. Finally I thought I had found a room that might be possible to at least have internet only to get a false signal - nothing would load on my iPhone which was fried from the faulty wiring . The hot tubs are just bathtubs, no jets worked and there was a seeer smell from the washroom that permeated the damp, slippery tiles. When I went to the office to tell them of my experiences the next morning the manager who thought I couldn’t understand Spanish called me a very rude word and saying “ these Americans come here and they want everything like their home. Why do they come here?” This hotel puts up a good front, the reception area is very well designed with state of the art hardware. Don’t be fooled. This hotel is dangerously in need of basic safety maintenance. Do not go to this hotel. It is isolated and falsely advertised what you will get. There are many beautiful boutique hotels in Ajijic for much lower prices that are safe and beautiful . Don’t be fooled like my husband and I were by their misleading claims of a luxury spa resort. This is the first time I have submitted a negative review, but others need to know this.
