En general bien para bañarse y dormir

En general esta bien el hotel, algunas partes descuidadas, en la primer noche habia insectos en la cama, los siguientes dias mejoro la linpieza y ya pusieron al menos botellas de agua. La piscina es aceptable pero le falta mantenimiento, lo fatal es la entrada a su playa, aunque es pequeña pero realmente bonita, pero llegar a ella, el camino es de escaleras y la zona esta llena de basura y muebles viejos que dan mal aspecto, hasta una taza de baño olvidada, lo que le resta vista. Se supone huatulco tiene el mejor cuidado en playas y en definitiva en esa no lo tenian.

Great views but run down

I’m loved the style of the outside but the inside needs a lot of work. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. However, the balcony and view is incredible. There really ISNT a restaurant. They have a room service menu. The day we wanted breakfast they said they weren’t serving breakfast. That night we ordered pizza which they actually order from somewhere else and don’t make it there. It was AWFUL and BURNT. We ordered it at 740pm and it arrived burnt at 10pm. The location is good. A few walkable options but be prepared to walk a bit up and down a hill.

View of Santa cruise

Excellent location, beautiful views, nice pool. Place is not a 5 star but well worth the money. Lots of stairs. 100 stairs down to the beautiful fandango bay where there is snorkeling. Could use some kitchen extras, but we made it work. 20-25 walk to town or 40 pesos cab ride. We loved it but we’re not fancy people.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The pictures on the ad are somewhat true, the view is beautiful. However it is very difficult to get to the beach or anywhere else. There are no stores or restaurants within a 30 minute walk. We booked a kitchen unit, however there was no coffee maker, no kettle and the pot and pans were in such bad shape I would not cook with them. The tv did not work at all. The bed was extremely hard and when you lay on it you felt the springs. You don’t prepay at Fandango and was glad of that. They don’t take credit cards so you have to pay in cash. Despite booking 3 weeks we left after 2 nights.
