The hot water in our bathroom wasn't hot enough. The hotel is outdated and the beach that it sits on is not conducive to use due to intense waves. The staff is very friendly and made us feel welcomed.

Andrea

Liked: Staff & service
The location is good. The staff were very nice. The pool area was quiet and comfortable. Zicatela beach is wonderful for walking, with many restaurants to choose from. The hotel is showing its age. It needs some maintenance in the rooms. The price of the food on premise is one of the most expensive in the area. A note about spa services, one of the BEST MASSAGES I have ever had. Be aware that spa services must be paid in cash when services are provided. It is not charged to your room tab. That was not clear on the reception marketing materials. It caused a little confusion, but may be just my lack of fluent Spanish.

Disappointed

The stay wasn’t as good as expected. The transfer didn’t pick us up at the airport. The room was noisy from the neighbours, there was a bad smell in the room, the toilet was leaking and the whole hotel could use a rebuild. Especially the shower was very poor! Pool area is fine, but pool is a bit dirty. The breakfast is ok, but a little expensive compared to other options around Puerto Escondidio - where many beach clubs are better quality at a lower price. When we were heading home and asked for a taxi at the reception, they told us to pick one up in the street.. not the kind of service I expect
