Totally loved it! Safe, colorful, & full of plants

Absolutely love to this place! Although not a five-star, it's full of charm, old Mexican wooden doors, colorful tiles on the stairwells, and tons of plants and flowers. A four-story mango tree in the central Courtyard just tops it all off. Would absolutely stay here again! Felt safe with my daughter traveling, and the people were wonderful!

this is right in the heart of everything from the beach, shopping, great food, clubs excursion pick ups. Can be a bit noise at times given vendors are around and people drive crazy but this is a great way to access everything. A little hard to communicate with the staff if you don’t speak Spanish (which I don’t) but they are super nice

This is an excellent location. Wonderfully close to the Malecón and the Zona Romántica. The rooms are a little dated but always kept clean. We loved being able to cook and reheat food. The staff are friendly and accommodating. We would happily stay here again. Downside: bed is extremely firm! If you like sleeping on rock then you will be comfortable. We brought inflatable sleeping pads and that helped a lot.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Cute Mexican style hotel. I had the luxury king suite and it was huge with a good size kitchenette and hangout area. The roof top pool/patio was a nice place to hangout, convenient location to the Malecon and mercado. A/c worked well, hot water in the shower takes a min to get working but then was a good temp and water pressure. This is a busy area so you will hear all the fun from the streets but I found the noise of the a/c helped drown it out. My only complaint was the bed and pillows was a tad stiff compared to what I like. But that's a personal preference. I would definitely stay here again!

When I got to the suite to check in I was charged $800 pesos for my child that's 15. Apparently if your children are 11 years or old they are considered adults. And when I did my reservation thru Expedia a child is considered under 18 years. This suite should considered changing bedding&towels to a different color because everything is white. Their bedding & towels are white so if they get stained you get charged a fee. They have signs all over the suite stating different damaging fees. They even had one that said that if your child wets(which was not the case with my children) the bed you get charged up to 1,000 pesos. The parking is terrible because there isn't any. They have 2 spots up front but it's only for loading &unloading. We were asked to move 3 times and when asked where we could park they said that anywhere we could find a place. I also had to call reception to send someone to empty my trash bins because they were full. Trash bins should be something that needs to be emptied out every morning especially when the suite is for a family with children. The only positive thing about the suite is the location. You can walk to the malecon because it's close by.
