Based on the price, I thought this hotel was too good to be true. Don't believe it. The location is perfect, with the beach right out your door. The grounds are clean and well-kept. They provide beach towels (make sure you hang on to them to return at the end of your stay), and water coolers are throughout the property. Multiple restaurants are within walking distance. I highly recommend this restaurant and hope to be back!

It is an old hotel, so for what it is, it’s not bad. Very good area. Very safe. Staff was great and friendly. If it was a little cheaper it would’ve been 5 stars. I just think the hotel needs an update. But the beaches are amazing. No complaints. People around the area are also very friendly.

The service of the front staff, especially Ruben, was genuine in welcome-ness, willingness to assist in request, and effective in follow throughs. The traditional, non-cookie cutter architecture of hotel was esthetically a plus from corporate standardizing elsewhere. Fronting La Ropa beach is a priority asset.

Right on the beach! Clean room & linens. Hotel pool is nice, very busy & lots of lounge chairs to choose from, but they do get full. Hotel is older but in good repair. Noisy a/c compressors outside that rumble a bit in the room, but they work just fine. Suggest earplugs to sleep soundly. Staff is pleasant, food just ok, lots of other dining options nearby. Nice sunsets!

We were ecstatic to be checked into a lovely beachfront/poolside room that was spotless. We were steps to the beach that we walked several times a day and the lovely pool was refreshing. There was an outdoor shower and footpaths to wash off sand. There was a safe in the room and TV that had US stations so we could relax and watch TV in the evening as most things close at 9:00pm Patys & Triton restaurants are excellent!! There are no fridges in the room so we bought 1/2 bag ice from the bar 2 x a day for 25 Pesos and filled up garbage can to keep our drinks cold we bought off property. There is a little market to the right of entrance to buy beer/ wine etc or you can shop cheaper in town with a 13 Peso Combi ride up the hill or taxi for 100 peso ($7cad) Sorianna or Chedraui grocery stores. Down to the beach to left Friday Saturday has live band to dance from 5-8pm at Rosseys on the beach and great food! El Parata also has music and good food ( coconut shrimp) La Perla and Arenas is good and have entertainment. Take a taxi $350 pesos to Playa Linda ferry and go to Ixtapa Island - Pamelita restaurant at end of beach for the day you get food/drinks loungers and table and chairs for the day. LA Ropa Beach is AMAZING! I would definitely stay at Villa Mexicana again!!! Recommendation for restaurant would be to have taller plastic glasses and drink specials so people spend more money there. Also dim the lights on the large bright crystal chandeliers it is blinding.

We had gone down to Mexico for a wedding. After the wedding we were going to stay with family and friends for a couple of days at or very near the Villa Mexicana. When we arrived we found that the hotel was overbooked and they offered to put us up in their other hotel, Hotel Irma. They did offer to upgrade us to ocean view (we could see a bit of it from our room), include breakfast, and transport us between the hotels at their expense. The cost between the two hotels (including the upgrades) was pretty much a wash. However, being that far away from our family and friends took all the spontaneity of our short stay there and the inconvenience and time wasted at check-in and travelling between the two hotels left us very bitter. The only reason I didn't give a 1 star rating was because the staff at breakfast were very nice. As a side note, one of the couples we were with did actually get a room at the Villa Mexicana. However, they had arranged for early check-in but were kept waiting at the reception area for 3 hours before they got their room. I understand that sometimes there are unforeseen problems, but the problems we encountered were made by the hotel.
