What a pleasure to stay at the Casa Pancho Playa! The room was good for two adults travelling together. Breakfast around the pool with other guests was a lovely part of the community feel to the accommodations. The walk to the beach was about 20 minutes down an active road with interesting shops and many delicious restaurants. I recommend and would stay again. Thank you

Stay elsewhere

The property does not have a front desk. As a result they use a lockbox that has a key to get you inside the facility. All guests use this lockbox and the same key. The numbers on the lock box are worn and very difficult to read as a result it took me 20 minutes to get in when it was dark. I tried a flash light and zoom on my camera and nothing helped. As such I would not recommend this property for women travelling on their own. Additionally my window did not close all the way and there are no screens on the window as such I woke up with mosquito bites. The ceiling fan did worked but sounded like you were running a blender and the bathroom sink only had one tap that worked.

Good location, a little out of the main drag which makes it quieter but just close enough for a nice little stroll at night. Not the most comfy or cleanest bed, but did the trick for two nights.

Go somewhere else

This place is run down and not good value for the price- the towels and linens were threadbare and old as the hills, the sheets while clean were stained and the pillows old and uncomfortable. The breakfast. E was minimal- 1 waffle which was served for 2 days and 1 egg and 3 tortillas were served another. Clearly no upgrades have been done for years and years and the walls and accomodations were dingy and lacked any aesthetics. Our room was right beside the main road and while it did get quieter at night, it was loud, esp. New Years Eve. The tables and seating around the pool were falling apart. The umbrellas had holes and it smelled of sewage.one day.

Had a nice stay! Jorge was very accomodating and staff were very helpful and kept busy....For what accommodations go for down there now, this was a good deal...just a note...if you have a room facing the road, it will be very noisy....if you can, book rooms 7 or 8...they are quiet and away from street noise...all in all was a great place to stay! Pool was an awesome touch too!...Stayed from Jan.19/2024 - Feb.9

Good for one night, not luxury

It was a very basic and simple room. It is quite dated and it was clean. My room faced the road so was noisy but thankfully the road noise did not last too late. My neighbours visited quite loudly outside my room and thankfully they did not stay up too late either. The breakfast was very simple but tasty scrambled eggs with tortillas. The bed was not luxury but decent. Nice hot shower. Definitely a Mexican low cost hotel although was not super low cost the night I was there as there was a big event in town. Jorge was a great communicator and very accommodating regarding my check in time and leaving my bag there for the day while I was out.

Very clean, very basic and nice for the price.

Casa Pancho Playa was a very clean, very basic hotel on the busy, main avenue leading into San Pancho Playa. They offered a good breakfast each morning, alternating with waffles and scrambled eggs each day. AND fabulous coffee. Communal fridge and cooking area was useful and clean with all necessary amenities. Our room was spacious but very basic [closets or clothes hangers would have been nice]. The pool was great during our first 4-5 days of the trip and the vibe was very nice and casual and relaxing around the pool area. Unfortunately the pool's pump or something went and we couldn't swim during our last few days but that was OK because the beach was amazing and only a 10-15 minute walk away. San Pancho was a great adventure.

For $120 per night this place was terrible. The chairs in the courtyard were all broken and dangerous to sit in, the flat sheet was a twin size for a double bed, breakfast was meager, and the host was uncommunicative to us and all the guests. We actually checked in a few guests because the host was uncommunicative. It's a hostel.
