It is what it is!!!

This was my first time and last time staying at Neptuno's Refugio. It was so many issues, that it wasn't worth bringing it to the hotel's staff's attention, it wouldn't have made a difference. But a short version of issues were that they shut off the water from about midnight until 5:30am in the morning. Also, the moldy smell, very outdated furniture and appliances. The A/C leaked water on the bed and floor. It was puddles of it. I'm speaking of my unit, which was room 2A. I wouldn't be surprised if they demolish this hotel ASAP! It's nearly on it's last breath. The best thing was sitting out on the balcony and having a stiff drink and knowing I only had 2 days to tolerate my stay. The balcony is huge and with a decent Oceanview!!!

Only stay here in a pinch and make sure to lock your room door properly. I woke up with my room door wide open and money was missing from my purse. Be careful! I did not press the issue because I wasn’t sure entirely sure if I had left the door open. But with a night time guard I would expect my door to have been closed by the staff at some point throughout the night if it was my mistake.

First night I was given a bed that sunk, next day my back was misaligned and gave me problems for two days, I was given another room with a firm mattress. The hotel is clean and has steaming hot water, the two rooms I stayed in had a faint smell of cigarettes, the decore is out dated but clean. The breakfast is good and the area is pretty safe, I wouldn’t mind staying again but only if the mattress is firm. The staff are friendly. The WiFi works great in any area if the property. Air conditioners work great.

Mushrooms growing in the bathroom

Pros: - the staff are lovely and extremely helpful even though most don’t speak English - I felt safe in the room (albeit not in the area) - bed was clean - breakfast was great - check in/out was easy - good selection of restaurants in area Cons: - mushrooms and mould growing around the room (see photos) - my room backed onto someone’s house and there was loud conversation/construction meaning I couldn’t get a lie in - very loud atmosphere around the hotel making it difficult to sleep - not very close to beach unless you went into marina restaurants - no room cleaning so no top ups of things like toilet paper (was there for 5 days) - old and needs refurbishing - swimming pool surrounded by stagnant water and so mosquitos

I have been staying at this property for over 15 years now (have stayed there 5 times). The rooms are not as nice anymore due to age I guess, and upkeep, but the hotel grounds are still well taken care of and the front desk is new, very nice. The pool is very small. The three high end hotels across the street (St. Tropez and the others) are a big draw for the area. But Boca Chica overall is not doing well, and now that Hamaca is closed, there is very little going on. The Whala is now the most popular hotel in the are and I tell you, it is horrible. I like Neptunos and would stay here again because of the beach and it’s quiet, and I believe in loyalty, but it is a 3 star for an average traveler (maybe). There are mini bars with water and beer and some rooms have full kitchens. But for this place to be very good again the area has to change and that is not their fault, it’s politics.
