    The disco tech that is across the street was horrible!!! They would start at 10pm and go til 4 am. It was so loud and there was nothing you or the staff could do about it.

    It was in a great location for us. We don’t mind the walk to the part of the beach that was swim able. The pool was great a a very kid friendly hotel.

    HOWEVER a new very large beach restaurant has been built almost in this view. They offer entertainment every evening and the music goes on until 5 am. Very Loud music! This needs to be resolved by the management and town.

    The location facing the beach is excellent, couldn’t be better for watching the sunset etc.aand people watching!

    I gave a low rating in the cleaning because, although the floors were clean the bathroom wasn't. We stayed for a week and although they made our beds the bathroom needed a more thorough cleaning.

    The hotel is centrally located. We really didn't have to go anywhere. Restaurants, bars, live music. There is a 24 food/snacks/drinks next to the hotel. The staff were SUPER helpful and cordial. Also, you can order drinks/food at the hotel restaurant and they'll bring it to you.

    night club right next door with horrible edm until 3 am. absolutely impossible to sleep without earplugs. not very flexible with check-out. despite the hotel being clearly half empty (we got a new room right away when we discovered that the toilet was broken) they did not let us stay a minute later than 12am.

    right on zicatela beach, lovely pool, nice bathroom, good breakfast, closed underground parking

    You can hear the night club music all night and every night. No beach amenities and you have to pay for a chair and/ or umbrella. Even a small Airbnb has umbrella for the beach.

    The location and having a restaurant. But the location was also the reason it was so loud at night that it was difficult to sleep.

    The hotel is very worn down and not cozy. The rooms are dark and the bathroom seems especially worn down. The main pool was out of service during our stay. Our toilet didn’t flush. We notified the staff when we left in the morning to go to the beach - when we returned in the afternoon nothing had been done but they offered us a different room. Not the hotel’s fault but a nightclub close by plays VERY loud music with a heavy bass into the early hours of the morning.

    The Wi-Fi, the person who works at night was not nice enough, they put uncomfortable bracelets on your wrist and do not allow you to enter the hotel without it even if you show them the room key, very annoying repair work, and you hear the sound of nightclubs in your room, scarcity of giving a bag for a small bag containing coffee and a request for money for this small bag

    There is a coffee machine and a bag containing coffee, sugar and coffee creamer. All hotels offer this for free, but they refused to give it to me and asked for money for it.

    Theres a great beach club in front. If your a light sleeper, bring those ear plugs and you will be fine

    I like that it's close to the beach. Lots of restuarants near by! There an ally way next door that has a lot of mexican street food. We loved that's theres an Oxxo next door as well
