I arrived a little early hoping I would be able to check in @2 instead of 3. I was told the room was not ready yet and to come back for my keys at 3. I came back at 3 and it still wasn’t ready. They told me I could park by the room and wait until it was. They didn’t end up having the room ready until 5 pm. Then I had to call maintenance because there was no WiFi or tv. But, having the private beach is almost worth all the hassle and the higher room prices.

Front desk are rude , the lady refilling the coffee in the front office was friendly.I made this reservations for this hotel because it said it had jacuzzi, upon my arrival the front desk said it was available for a $40 charge extra, I had breakfast on the restaurant onsite food was good, waitresses are NOT friendly at all. Room was decent it had an old musty smell, No AC unit in the room, No telephone in the room incase you need to reach front desk you must exit your room. The neighbors were really loud and didn’t go to sleep till 2am the room walls are not sound proof I was able to hear the TV full volume. Definitely Not staying in this place again.

El costo del lugar algo caro por lo que ofrecen las habitaciones, lo bonito es las instalaciones del balcón donde pues ver el mar.
Las habitaciones son viejas, no se si fue por el precio o porque el tipo de servicio que utilice para reservar pero por ese precio podrían tener un poco mas de comodidades como microondas o un minibar, el baño tambien deja mucho que desear, el toilet viejo y desperdiciando agua porque la cadena no servía, la puerta de madera de la ducha no cerraba bien y habia una ventana enorme que se escuchaba todo hacia el pasillo, nada privado y sucio el piso.
El desayuno que ofrecen la verdad yo entiendo que es “cortesía”, pero volvemos al precio, no me importaría pagar independientemente de la habitación un buen desayuno, pero si viene incluido bueno lo tomamos, pero el restaurante con pésimo servicio, nadie nos recibió ni nos sentaron, nosotros tomas asiento, el cual no es problema, pero la mesera que tambien parece ser que era la cajera nos recibió el booeto del hotel para el desayuno y solo había opciones limitadas asi que yo le comenté que tambien iba a pedir de carta aunque pagara extra, me dio una carta la cual al momento de pedir la orden me dice que me dio la de la comida y aun seguian con el desayuno, se disculpo el cual no fue el problema aunque ya tenía como 20-30 minutos yo viendo el menu esperando pedir mi comida, despues nunca regresó, trataba de captar su atención o del algun mesero los cuales nunca se acercaron a mi mesa, asi que me retiré.

This may seem like its a hotel, but its a community of homes like a colonia with multiple streets. It did have a few pots, and silverware, but I would not depend on them having what you need to cook a full meal.

It's a hike to everywhere. Hike to the pool, Restaurant, front desk and beach.

Staff was very friendly, but even they got lost helping find our rental, that they initially took us to wrong unit.
Parking is in a lot away from units.

Our room was listed as 2 beds, one of which we found out was a fold out couch. Then when we were getting settled in, we couldn't find remotes, had to request them to be brought to us. Next we couldn't find extra bedding for the couch bed, so we had to request those to be brought to us as well.

It does have a private beach, but it is very steep to get there. There are stairs and a steep paved path to walk down, but very difficult for people with mobility challenges.

For our specific room, our blinds in all of the windows did not cover anything. The ones that faced the street were very large and had huge gaps people could look in easily just walking by. The room window had same covering and didn't even stop the moon light.

Really clean and quiet. Friendly, helpful staff, just a few things we wish were clearer before going there.

This was my first time staying at this resort, and I was a little nervous at first, but I absolutely loved it. The suite we received was one of the best, with a beautiful balcony right next to the beach. I enjoyed having breakfast while overlooking the ocean.

The resort has two swimming pools, and the water was always warm and clean. The staff were amazing, especially the bartenders, who were very welcoming and attentive throughout our stay.

The complimentary breakfast was good, although I would have liked to see a few more options. I highly recommend trying the elote pancakes—they were delicious! Café Lulu and Café de Hoya were also excellent.

We were able to check in before 1:00 PM, which gave us extra time to explore the resort and enjoy drinks at the bar. Overall, the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

I would definitely come back and highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway.

I was looking forward to my stay here and planned to relax and enjoy the views. Unfortunately my room was next to a big party at the premises, I wish they could have told us. They should not give rooms literally next to a big tent party that went on for many hours through the night. I felt more tired than relaxed after I left. Dont Don’t do this to your guest, at least warn them or give them a further room.

When we arrived, our assigned room had limited electricity - the main lights in the room did not work. We reported this to the front desk and they assigned us the room next door. That room was substantially larger and had electricity, so we were satisfied with the switch.

However, both rooms were tidy - not clean. There was some type of food still left in the sink and two plug in air fresheners to mask a mildew smell. We promptly unplugged the air fresheners because their scent was overpowering and unpleasant.

The lights had metal tops that were unattached, and one fell as I was trying to plug my phone into the wall to charge! The balconies in the rooms are old and not structurally sound - be careful if you bring kids.

The whole property was overall not to the standards of cleanliness we are used to - I believe a main factor of that is the lack of property maintenance. There needs to be a thorough update and clean of the property.

The private beach we were able to access (without paying $50 USD per person, per day) was dirty and filled with trash, broken bottles & seaweed. Very poorly maintained and honestly embarrassing for a hotel property.

Included breakfast only has 4 options, but all were good.

We each had massages on property ($75 per person for 1 hour). The massage experience significant lacking in care & attentiveness. Although Gaby was kind, my massage was done carelessly & she didn’t even massage my whole left leg/foot!

The view though, magnificent,

SCAM ALERT — DO NOT STAY HERE.

This hotel advertises beautiful photos of a beachside pool, jacuzzi, and private beach access, but fails to clearly disclose that guests have to pay an additional $40 fee just to use those amenities — even when booking a villa. The only “free” option is a run-down pool or basic beach access, which is extremely misleading compared to what’s shown online.

It feels like a complete money grab. We specifically booked this property because of the advertised amenities, only to find out after check-in that they’re locked behind extra charges. That information should be transparent before booking, not sprung on guests afterward.

Save your money and stay at Las Rocas Resort & Spa instead. Beautiful oceanfront pool and views included without all the hidden upcharges.

Very disappointing experience.

I’ve stayed here many times, and there always seems to be some kind of issue — TVs not working properly, weak Wi-Fi, backed up toilets, leaking showers, jacuzzi heat not functioning correctly, loose door knobs, and towels so old and overused they felt like sandpaper. I never complained before because I tried to be understanding.

This time during checkout, I was accused of causing blood stains on the comforter and making a towel “muddy.” The towel was placed on the floor because water leaks outside the shower and I was trying to prevent slipping and falling. Instead of addressing the ongoing maintenance problems, the focus became blaming the guest.

They originally wanted to keep a $20 deposit. I told them to just keep $40 — they probably need it more than me.

What bothered me most was being questioned and charged after sleeping with stained bedding and dealing with recurring maintenance issues despite spending thousands staying here over time.

Very disappointing experience overall.

Honest review: Complementary Adults only breakfast is limited to “chilaquiles” only from their entire menu. You will need to pay for all kids breakfasts, about $450 pesos for food and about $150-$350 for each of their drinks. Keep in mind you will also need to pay for adult drinks as they are not included in free complimentary breakfast. The tortillas for the chilaquiles are very hard and the red sauce is canned tomatoes. All room pictures advertised are from beachside cottages and not the actual rooms. Their infinity pool and jacuzzi advertised in pictures is for adults bar only, friday through sunday only. To access the infinity pool and jacuzzi advertised you will need to pay an additional fee. Their private beach advertises no lifeguards available for help at any time.
They do have a free to access small pool available next to parking lot but its very tinyand cold. Only some cottages are partially beach side . 95% of rooms are not beachside they are up on the top of hill. I will include picture of 3 story building with rooms, its the building on the left. please keep in mind, the hotel is going though alot of construction at the moment. There are some nice areas in the hotel dont get me wrong. Most Patio furniture in hotel is outdated. I’de give it a 7/10 just because of the price. you get what you pay for.

The other pool is a joke and the heater doesn’t work. The beds are old and stained. They do not provide enough towels so I suggest you take your own. The food is horrible. Drinks are ok but they take forever. Service is ok but they could be a little more friendly. The friendly ones are the ones that are trying to sale you something. I would never go back there.
