If your taking a taxi anywhere make sure you get an estimate of the cost. We had only 2 bad taxi drivers who over charged us.

Room with a view
Great location, authentic feel....
I really enjoyed my 5-night stay at La Siesta. The room was clean, the courtyard had a unique Mexican feel. Although it does not have fancy amenities, it still had enough for the value: I got free wi-fi that worked in my hotel room; there was a very nice smaller pool just not heated; and the view of the ocean was great. However, the best thing I liked about the hotel is its location close to the old city, restaurants, and stores that were walking distance away. Also, the Puerto Vijelo restaurant a block away had some of the best seafood I tasted!

Quaint Surprize
This hotel is a nice surprize indeed. The hotel is a quaint mexican style of hotel. The rooms are big and airy. Your room is kept very clean by the staff but this is a mexican style of hotel. Don't expect everything to be gold plated or top of the line. Everything is ample and this place is comfortable. The location is excellent. You are just across the street from the beach. There are many great restaurants in the immediate area with a few really good plazuela's within walking distance. Entertainment is free if you know where to look. Music and good food can be found at Plazuela Machado, dancing at Plazuela Zaragoza and so on.

Nice Hotel
Quiet, nice hotel. There weren't a lot of guests except for two Christian groups who convened regularly in the center area of tables and a few families. The front desk was very helpful and changed my money regularly. They also were helpful arranging tours - take the Vista Tour of Copala and the Tequila Tour (ask for tour guide [...]). The house keeping was very thorough and friendly. The pool was empty most of the time. The room we stayed at didn't have Internet access but it was okay to bring the lap top to the center or pool area. I recommend the Shrimp Bucket that's attached but only for an occasional meal. There's a coffee shop a couple blocks away that serves decent coffee and bagels. The beach was close and accessible.One night there were a lot of police (with machine guns) around because some type of secretary was spending the night close by so I had a hard time going to sleep that night (thinking about reprisal from the drug cartel) but nothing happened. The hotel is a ways from the Golden Zone but that was good b/c it was less busy and less noisy. There are golf cart taxis that can take you places but ask how much they charge for where you're going so you don't get bamboozled. Oh yeah, the beds are super hard. There isn't springs but literally boards underneath the mattress. I sometimes woke up with back aches.

Go to Olas Steak House next door. Terrific steaks and lamb chops. Also Poncho's in the Golden Zone was excellent. A 3 lobster dinner and chicken fajita was $50.00 - including drinks. Also there is an ocean view.

La Siesta is a budget hotel with
La Siesta is a budget hotel with an excellent location. Some minor problems (no hot water or cable tv) were experienced for short periods of time, but eventually corrected. The staff is helpful and friendly, and the restaurant/bar has a good choice of resonably priced items. We would recommend staying there.

Historical perspectives
This is a really nice basic experience with friendly helpful people. Mexico is no longer the cheap experience that it once was, but it's fun to be just a few short minutes walk from the real town and people.
