Create location, good restaurants nearby. Very close to the heart of the action on fifth Avenue. Hotel is charming. Right on the beach. Staff could not be more friendly or helpful. Good restaurant on premise. Very good breakfast included. Room comfortable and clean. Good air conditioning and sea breeze. We have been there three times over 20 years and it’s only gotten better.

The staff are so friendly and their service is first class. I’ve stayed there 3 times in the last 12 months and there is NOTHING the hotel and staff could do to improve this hotel. For me it is a home away from my home in Canada and I miss it the minute I check out.

We really enjoyed this small beachfront hotel. It has an authentic Mexican vibe with lots of stone pathways and tile and no elevators. Our large room overlooked the beach and had a large terrace with a hammock which was great for watching the sunrise. The beachfront restaurant was well run, with good food and quick, friendly service. They provided food and beverage service on the beach also. The beach area is busy, but we were able to find beach beds fairly easily. The hotel is just a few minutes walk from Fifth Avenue, so was very convenient for shopping and restaurants. It’s not a fancy place, but we would definitely stay again!
