This is an old-fashioned motel with the doors to your room opening outside, although there is a security fence. There’s not even a security chain on the door. Although the area didn’t feel unsafe, a bit more security in Mexico would’ve been appreciated. There is no breakfast served. Overall, not a great experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay here. Was exactly as described. Staff was very courteous and helpful (the hotel as well as the coffee shop). Location is great ...15 min or so walk to the beach, but close to alot of restaurants on 10th, 5th, etc. Great for solo travelers and couples.

Nos encantó la propiedad, super cómodo y lindo. El área del roof nos encantó, entendiendo que quizás por la temporada los insumos son limitados, pedimos piña colada y no tenían piña sin embargo nos ofrecieron otras opciones. Definitivamente será de mis primeras opciones a futuro.
