Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Location fantastic! But the small grassy area for guests had three lounge chairs two completely broken and side table broken. No drinking/water glasses in room and no coffee maker. Bathroom door didn’t quite close and not all outlets work. Hardly saw any staff they provided no information. Door locks are just a push lock no dead bolt or chain. Best feature is quiet ocean beach is right there.
This beach is right there at end of path

This was my 2nd visit to Laguna de Cocodrilos. Great, quiet location right off the beach at the mouth of the estuary. Only a few minutes walking distance to downtown. Stayed in a Jr. Suite (#12) and thoroughly enjoyed my brief stay.

Occasional barking dog at night, one night went a bit long, but the responsibility of the hotel? Can't do much about a noisy neighbor...maybe a temporary thing. Staff wonderful, place very clean and great view out the window. Good value!

This property was unfortunately older than the photos and could use new beds or memory foam toppers. The cleaning staff was very nice and accommodating. It’s walking distance to the main strip but furthermore to the shops the beach is close but there is no shade there.
