The Hotel is amazing. I stayed at Jr. Suite with no hot water and the sliding door with no locks. The pool was great but service on the restaurant not so friendly. Waitress had an attitude all time. Found a hair in my breakfast plate and was not offered an apology, I just sent her back.
The hotel could run so much better if they get their stuff tightened up. Hotel has the potential to grow.

In the add say that it has parking lot and is not what advertised, we have to parked our car in the street because is only 4 spots in the parking lot. It was no hot water we stay there and since day one we asked for someone to come and fix it, until the next day they show up. And they never fix the hot water issue. The air conditioning system made a lot of noise all night not sure why, we reported all this and nothing was fix. I will not recommend this place.

First time in Barra and the hotel did not disappoint. It's located right on the beach. We had a basic room with two double beds. Initially we stayed on the street side, but we were able to upgrade to the ocean side -- highly recommend that if you can get it as it's quieter and you can enjoy the fantastic sunsets from your balcony, and fall asleep listening to the sounds of the waves. On the street side every other morning you are awoken by a Zoomba class on the courtyard right below... They provide bottled water every day. The pool is clean and fairly quiet. The beach below the hotel isn't great for swimming as it's quite sloped and the waves can be large -- not impossible, just not ideal -- the better beach is down in Melaque. You are located right in the heart of some of the best Mexican food and music. A 5 minute walk to the marina, public buses and all the pubs. Great value.

Where to start - no dining room but some tables off the lobby. The actual dining room is a junk and open storage area your first vista on entry. Room cleaned but not the halls. Thread bare towels in room. Not a single piece of paper in the hotel no brochures what to do or adverts in the lobby. It’s hard to see this as a hotel at ll. Unfinished floors of rooms - so your in a partially constructed hotel. It’s simply not professionally managed and it shoes. We paid too much money to stay here. Locals walk through including to your room on the patio selling things and using the pool. One lady from outside was going to rinse her baby and bay poop off in the poolside shower and at the last minute someone asked her not to do that. The whole experience was disappointing. People off the street should not be at the pool and selling stuff inside the hotel.

Comfy clean hotel on beach- best in town!

This hotel is a work in progress as many of the rooms are not completed (but this doesn’t impact on the place as no work appears to be in progress and they are not being used). The completed rooms are large - mine contained two queen beds plus a desk/sideboard, rack for my suitcase, plus balcony with two chairs. The A/C worked well and the ceiling fan wasn’t needed. The bathroom was well equipped- lots of hot waters and efficient shower. Only drawback was that staircase was open to lower floor and noise occasionally permeated upwards. Lovely terrace behind infinity swimming pool to eat brekky which was reasonably priced and lots of bedchairs with towels available. Bonus was occasional musical entertainment at sunset to the sound of the ocean waves as a backdrop. Enthusiastically recommended

This hotel is being built as they go. The ground floor and most of second floor is complete. For building as they go, workers noise level was low and very considerate of guests. For Mexico this is a very nice room for the money. If you don,t like noise then go out for dinner between 6-30 and 9-30 on Thursdays as a band comes in and plays music. Not sure if they do that any other night?It appears it is a family run hotel and everyone is very kind and thoughtful

Best hotel in Barra

I have looked at all the hotels in Barra and this is by far the best one. Its right on the beach, you sleep with the sound of the waves, the rooms are clean, beds comfy and its great value for beachfront.
And the owner works miracles!
I had brilliantly managed to leave my passport purse with phone in the airport taxi that brought us here. Moment of panic at check-in !!!
The senora started to call the airport etc - then had an idea. She called her uncle as he is a taxi driver there. And lo and behold, it was him who had driven us! He returned later with my passport bag and everything intact. I was SO happy and relieved! And stunned by the coincidence! And it shows there are GOOD and HONEST people i this world!!!

Best kept secret in Mexico

The Bogavante is probably one of the best kept secrets in travel. We went with another couple and we all had a great time. The hotel staff were excellent, friendly and very helpful. For the price, we weren't expecting great things, but were pleasantly surprised by how awesome this place was. You can't beat the location, and having the infinity pool that looked at the ocean and sunsets was amazing. We ate several times in the restaurant and the food never disappointed. The rooms and the lobby were very clean, as well as the pool area. I really can't say enough good things about this hotel. The owners are there daily, so if you need anything, they try their best to accommodate. But be reasonable, it still is Mexico.
A few things you may want to know that we learnt during our trip,
1. there are no blow dryers in the rooms, bring your own.
2.There is also no fridges in the regular rooms, but we bought a Styrofoam cooler and ice right across the square, and that solved the problem of warm beer & drinking water.
3.They do supply beach towels so you don't need to bring any.
4.Finally, bring some glasses with you if you want to use them in your room. We brought plastic stemless wine glasses that worked great in the room and by the pool.
We are returning again next year and hopefully they haven't got so popular that we can't get a room. A great place for a great price.

The ceviche was the best we had in Barra de Navidad. The staff was friendly and attentive. The bed was very comfortable and the in room air conditioner efficiently kept the room comfortable in the heat of the day. Convenient access to the beach including a shower to wash off sand before entering the lobby. Off street parking under ground.
