everything was as expected for this type of accommodation. the people are very friendly and accommodating. the rooms are clean and i like the minimalism style. the breakfast is included so you don’t have to leave to grab a quick bite and coffee first thing in the morning. you can also keep some food items in the fridge. and there’s a pool!

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.

What I like about this property is that it is pet friendly! I brought my puppy and I had no problems. There are a few issues I had with this property: there was a foul odor (sewage) coming from the restroom, people starting to sing at one in the morning is not a wonderful way of going to sleep, the price was a bit high for the conditions of the property (place needs some tlc) to make it more comfortable.

Pequeño y colorido hotel.

Pequeño Hotel muy a doc con el ambiente de San Pancho, relajado, bonito, rodeado de naturaleza, con amenidades básicas. El único detalle es que los aires acondicionados estaban apagados y durante otoño/invierno hay que solicitar que los conecten.

Solo tomamos la oportunidad un desayuno y fue ligero, y si estaba fresco, cocinado en el momento.

La alberca muy practica, lo unico que si nos creo problemas fue el estacionamiento, es muy pequeño solo para 4 carros y los dias que nos quedamos habia mas huespedes, los cuales nos bloequearon en varios dias y muy groseros ya que no siguieron las indicaciones de hospedaje y al no haber nadie de la propiedad durante todo el dia al que se le peuda pedir refuerce las reglas.

Las habitaciones son sencillas, no nos gusta que el baño no tenga su propia puerta fija que no da privacidad. Las tomas electricas fue otra situacion ya que no estan accesibles de los buros, tenian una enmedio de la cabecera que al estar acostado la desconectabas. No tiene televisores en las habitaciones (no que los requieramos por el lugar pero puede ser importante para alguien mas)

Bien, en general. La atención de Jorge y la señora del desayuno fue muy amable.
Las habitaciones son amplias y están limpias.
La playa está a 11 minutos caminando por la avenida principal, lo que hace que la zona sea más tranquila.
El desayuno siempre es waffles con café, pero por el precio de la estancia se agradece que se otorgue algo de alimento.

Instalaciones amplias y de acuerdo a precio, muy limpio. La alberca es genial para cerrar la noche. El ventilador de techo es algo ruidoso pero también tiene aire acondicionado. El desayuno es más bien ligero. Lo que no me gustó es que no te entregan llaves de la casa y que se guarde en una caja de combinación en la entrada. Mi mamá nunca entendió como poner la clave por lo que no podía entrar y salir sola.
Sin embargo, volvería a elegir este hospedaje.

Aunque especifica desayuno gratis y cocina abierta hasta las 11, se supone que tienen que tener los desayunos de los huéspedes que habitamos fuimos a las 10:15 y ya no había desayaunos, osea te las que madrugar para alcanzar??? En la publicación no especifica que la habitación más grande tiene el baño fuera de la misma y tienes que salir en la noche si necesitas entrar al baño…. Pedí cambio de habitación por ese motivo y muy amable mar la dio pero me cobraron lo mismo siendo una habitación más pequeña. Llevaba un perrito y me cobraron extra aunque por el cambio de habitación sería justo que no lo hicieran, ya hemos estado en otras ocaciones allí pero esta vez todo fue mal

Estancia terrible NO recomendado

Las fotos que están en la aplicación no coinciden con la realidad del hotel la ropa de cama está sucia manchada parece que no la lavan tienen mal olor a parte las camas viejas e incómodas, muy viejo el lugar ya, desgastado y sucio, muebles de afuera rotos. La alberca está sucia. La persona de limpieza solo hace lo mínimo indispensable. Trabaja muy de mala gana no limpia bien no hay personal de recepción y al ser la única persona ahí, pues debe ser la tarjeta de presentación del negocio en todos los aspectos. Hace lo menos en su trabajo. Encontramos una cucaracha a nuestra llegada justo en la entrada la matamos salimos a la playa cuando regresamos ya habían terminado la limpieza y ahí seguía solo nos quedamos una noche ahí porque no había disponibilidad en otro hotel dormimos encima de unas toallas para playa que traíamos porque nos dio asco meternos a la cama. Es muy ruidoso las ventanas están viejas obvio pasa todo el ruido como no hay reglamento y nadie está a cargo hay personas en el área común en la madrugada platicando y tomando cerveza. En la cocina hay un dispensador de agua pero se ve percudido nos dio asco tomarnos el agua de ahí. Tienen muchas áreas de mejora creo que hoteles.com también debería verificar las fotos de los establecimientos Ojalá que nadie más tenga que pasar por esta terrible experiencia
