Exceeded expectations

Traveling in a budget requires to take a little risk. However this hotel was very affordable, quiet and clean. The staff working at the front desk were very friendly. The pool was refreshing and clean. Total silence at night, you don't even hear the road noise. The location is good if you don't need to be in the middle of everything. A short walk to a public beach, but crossing the main road towards the beach areas is very dangerous because cars don't stop to let you cross the road. Other than that I would recommend staying here if in a tight budget.

It’s quiet clean room with good restaurant and across from yaught dock to canal with little tropical fish come by. Very safe clean area and walking distance to street to get bus. It’s perfect cause don’t spend a lot time in room. Just need clean quiet and safe with good A/C.

The female counter staff was rude and acted put to check me in. Room was dirt with mold on the walls and broken mirror in the bathroom. Shower need scrubbed due to mildew and shower head was green. Beds were almost as hard as the tile floor. Breakfast was $10 and I was served half a quesadilla with a spoonful of dice tomatoes, a bowl of soggy corn flakes with warm milk (like it had been sitting for a while), and 3/4 glass of juice. When I asked I was told that was all the breakfast included. The two positives were that it backed to the marina so you could see some nice boats and the gentleman at check-out was very pleasant and helpful. Do not recommend this property.

They don't speak English as listed, so we had to worry about our charges until Expedia explained to me that they may have returned my deposit, so everything needs to be paid at the hotel. The room and complex is pretty much as listed on Expedia, and pretty nice for the price.
We loved the location like everyone else, with excellent local restaurant 7 minute walk and next to a 24 hour Oxxo. Those local busses also pick up next to restaurant, busses are full with local workers and arrive every 2 minutes or less. Be prepared to stand up for the ten minute ride to the beach or bars and hold on.The beach at Mandalay Bay is exquisite, bring a cooler of beer and sunscreen, bus is .60 cents, get off at the stop near Cocobongo.
Taxi from airport is a crazy mandatory $60 one way, so instead we used the local bus to central Cancun for $6 each, then paid $6 for an Uber to Sotavento. It didnt take too long ultimately and was comfortable, and you buy the bus tickets right before you exit the airport on the right, busses every hour to town. We also enjoyed eating delicious tacos near the bus station, and shopping for items like sandals, shirts, hats, and beer, which totaled $40, thus gratis compared to a direct taxi. Plus, we found all the local areas to be safe and very real, no gimmicks, however we discovered all the touristic areas to be misleading and OVER-PRICED, always remember it's Mexico not Florida, tho much better in our opinion if you play the game smart.

You are in a dark jungle! Even the unheated pool. Rooms are dark and musty. Everything is always damp!

I booked 16 nights and was actually relieved to be at a small quiet hotel since it was at the height of Omicron. I ended up staying 3 nights on Isla Mujeres to get some sun and experience that magical island 🏝 Since this hotel wasn’t very expensive I didn’t feel too bad paying for 2 hotel rooms a night.

The food was pretty good. $5 for a descent continental breakfast! Definitely don’t recommend paying the $17/day for Breakfast Included!!

All in all it was a great trip but had to spend most of my time away from the depressing hotel.

y stays at Hotel Sotaventoin Cancun

I stayed at Hotel Sotavento twice, for several nights each time. It is difficult to find, but for sure, it’s a hidden gem. It’s small, cozy, and tucked away on a side street of condos along a marina by Cancun’s lagoon. My room was very clean and comfortable. Water was semi-hot, but all else was great. The restaurant is excellent, with delicious food, including many Yucatecan dishes, and very reasonably priced. It has free nearby parking, and taxis are easy to get. Only one lady at the front desk was a bit sullen, and while the staff isn’t big on hotel services, if you directly ask for assistance, they will help you. Overall, the staff is cheerful. The surrounding tropical garden is truly lovely. It feels far from the crazy tourist feel in the rest of Cancun! It’s also close to the Michoacán taco restaurant, which serves delicious food in a friendly manner, and is not to be missed!
