We enjoy our 10 days stay here. Love the spacious villas. Breakfast included is definite a plus. Safe area.
Not as 5 stars facility but it comfortable and definitely a place to chill. Having said that, there are many little eateries around and not far from the centre of town.

I recommend this place if you are looking somewhere to chill.

Thank you to all at Danza Del Sof for making our stay comfortable !

We will be back 🌹

Really great staff! Friendly and helpful. Like most reviews say, the place could use some remodel. I really enjoyed staying theee as it is one of the biggest rooms for the money that I have ever stayed in. For that I would go back. The place reminds me of wealthy people’s homes in the 1979’s. And that was the last remodel. If you lie that it is a must stay. A kind of time capsule on beautiful grounds. Really a one off hotel. The location is about 2/3 of a mile from the main square in a nice neighborhood. There are plenty of plenty of restaurants and entertainment in close proximity to the hotel.

Although the hotel is dated, it is extremely clean, the staff is exceptional and the 3 bedroom villa was a superb place to stay. The hotel had an undisputable old world charm with comfortable beds and no bugs. Yes, some of the furniture could be better and the windows could be updated, but it's Mexico and it fits. The hotel is also a short 15 minute walk to the town square, 7 minute walk to the boardwalk and 2 minute walk to a small convenience store. Savator made our party of three feel completely at home every morning for breakfast (which was excellent). Would highly recommend you take a chance and stay in Ajijic at the Hotel Danza Del Sol.

The receptionist was rude and claimed she spoke no English. On the second to last day of my stay she instructed the housekeeper to speak to me on the phone, and informed me I was late checking out. I got dressed and went to the front desk. When I got to the front desk she told me in perfect English she had talked to Expedia and I didn’t have to check out until the next day. No apology was given.

None of the amenities that were advertised actually existed. I booked a kitchen because I like to cook. Very few cooking items were included, the stove didn’t work well and oven didn’t work at all. The refrigerator door wouldn’t stay closed. The fireplace did not work. The bed was hard as a rock. The bedding and towels were threadbare. There was no bar. The breakfast was passable but it had eight items only and two were not available any longer. The pool was not heated. The WiFi constantly cut out and worked VERY slowly for the brief periods it was working. The hot water (tepid really) ran out before one could complete a reasonable shower. The desk person in the morning and the waiter at breakfast were lovely. The rest of the staff was rude and surly. I am not a snob and I wasn’t expecting the Ritz but this was a total shabby lie. I expect it will fail soon. There were few guests and any other guests I with had the same complaints. Sadly, the hotel has amazing potential but is rundown and needs some upgrading and robust management. I would love to see it done properly.

Property originally a monastery, then medical clinic, and now a hotel. It was huge rooms, like a cave, and very poor lighting. Staff very nice, and helpful. It was never updated to be a hotel, it was designed to be a monastery. Bed mattress very poor. Internet - terrible. Ended up with no hot shower. I would like a refund or credit for bad hotel.

Nice but need a GOOD REMODELATION

Hotel is very well know in Ajijic but is being there for aprox 50 years and needs a good remodelation.
Is a pity that a really nice construction does not have a good maintenance.

The Danza del Sol is my favorite hotel in Ajijic. I've been living lakeside since 2018 and have stayed here many times. Since my first trip down to see if I might want to live here, to the times I stayed here while in transit. Beautiful architecture and grounds with a great pool and a free breakfast. Very tranquil setting and a first rate, helpful staff.

Disappointed

The place is really old.
The staff don’t care about your room.
The rooms are old
We got at 1.30 am and the doors were closed.
We had to wait 10 min for someone to come and open the main door.

The hotel is easy to get to. The hotel is very old and does not seem have been remodeled. No AC, doors and windows are old don't close well. The distribution of the hotel is very odd. Good luck finding your room or anything else without a map. Lots of dead ends and levels.
For the price I expected more. Would not stay here again.

Lots of potential. But not comfy for Americans.

If you live in one of the warmer parts of the world, normal people expect some air conditioning. Not here. How about an ice machine. Nope.
Convenient power outlets? Nope.

There couple things that I believe they need to update
1 The bed need a new mattress they are too old
2 Please try to get a different fan in the room is impossible to sleep with those fan are on too much noise
3 Please try to get a better cable service with English Channel

I truly enjoyed staying there most of the time is quite and enjoyed seeing those cats walking the hotel

Danza Del Sol is like the most attractive person in High School that is now 68 years old. Stlll attractive but showing its years. In it's hayday it must have been spectacular. Now a lot is worn. It could use a remodel but is completly servicable as it is. It's more an apartment than a hotel. Huge rooms and despite the wear, very clean. The staff were amazing and although nobody speaking english we had no problem communicating. The front desk was not very friendly. They made a mistake on our second day telling us that we only booked 1 day rather than 6 & that we were to vacate immediatly. It took a very tense hour for them to straighten it out. Even when they found their mistake they weren't very nice about and offered no apology. If not for that I would have given it five stars. I would stay there again. If you dont like cats it probably isn't the place for you as about 25 live there. I do love cats and befriended 4 of them who followed me around.

It was clean and the ground well kept. The beds were comfortable. But everything was a little run down. There is no restaurant, although they serve a nice breakfast. The pool supposedly had a bar, but when we asked for drinks they seemed confused. No information about amenities available, like where to get pool towels, was provided. The rooms are huge, but only 1 tv, no microwave, very few kitchen utensils. It’s an extremely quiet hotel. Perhaps for the area it’s an excellent hotel. The staff was very gracious.

Love the Danza

We love the Danza. The staff is amazing!! If you need something or information all you need do is ask and they will go out of their way to try and provide. The rooms which are apartments are very large we stayed in 209 and 206 one bedrooms. If you cook you will love the restaurant grade stove and the pilot light will help keep the apartment warm in the cooler months, put on a pot of soup if you are cold. But bring everything for the kitchen,dish towels &cloths, dish soap, a good fry pan, very minimally furnished. The hotel is old and in need of some maintence and updating so is not for everyone. If you are looking for top resort style lodging this is not for you. There is no air condtioning so the hot month of may will possibly be uncomfortable. However, we still love love love the Danza and are coming back for two months while we look for our permanent home and have recommended the hotel to friends who have stayed there and liked it.

Rooms were huge and perfect for a family. You have to ask them to turn the stove and fridge on though. Also, front desk did not tell us you can buy a huge thing of water for 30 pesos but the cleaning lady (who was great) did. Unfortunately, bats were in 2 of the 3 rooms we rented and family had to go to Guadalajara for rabies shots. Pool is good. Unfortunately, the restaurant was only open for buffet breakfast (says it’s open until 9) and the pool snack bar was only open and serving French fries one day of the 7 we were there. Grounds are well kept.

We stayed here for 12 days Feb.6- Feb. 18, over all we enjoyed our stay. Here are the pros and cons.

Pros- magnificenly manicured grounds. Daily maid service kept the rooms spotless. We never saw a single bug. Wifi in our rooms was nice. Beautiful swimming pool.

Cons- the place is 20 years past its prime, broken and cracked ceramic tiles were common. Peeling paint was seen. Many ferrel cats on the property that like to howl at night. The staff has little to no ability to speak English, even at the front desk.

Property is huge. Liked that you can park your car inside a huge, secure compound. Room was humongous and included a full kitchen: gas stove, fridge, some dishes, pots, and utensils. But maintenance was lacking. The kitchen cupboard door fell apart when I opened it - it was just carefully put back in place but not repaired. The lamps in bedroom were not working.

Breakfast was juice, fruit, coffee, and eggs as you like them or hot cakes. There was only one waiter run off his feet and he was serving others who came after us.

Did not feel it was worth the money we paid.

Good place to stay if you ask for a new room

We were initially given a room on the ground floor. It was very musty and looked dated. We asked to be changed rooms and we were given a newly-renovated room that was much brighter and lovely!
Front desk staff are not super helpful - it would have been nice if they had given better service and instructions for parking, pool location, etc.

Great Experience

Great hotel, rooms are large and the property is really nice. Rooms can get a little cold at night but the extra blankets help keep you warm. WiFi in the rooms was spotty at times due to the brick building but worked well in the living room, breakfast was nice to attend in the morning and was really good and the front desk staff was always willing to help out with anything you need like calling a taxi. Will definitely return.

The property is well taken care of. We stayed in a master suite, and it was huge! It had two stories, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two living rooms. It also had a kitchen with a dining area. The building is old, and it has a particular old scent to it, maybe coming from the wood, old furniture, or chimney. We stayed in November, and the rooms are a bit cold. Extra blankets were offered. BreKfast is included with the stay, and the food was ok. Weather outside was perfect, in the high 70s, low 80s. It would have been perfect to get in the pool, but the water was too cold.

We liked how large the room was with two bedrooms and having the breakfast included. What we didn't like was that it often took way too long for the attendant to come and open the gate to the parking lot and also a maid walked into my wife's room without checking if she was ready to see someone.

BEWARE not what was presented on line

The property and employees had a cold and unfriendly feeling. No one could speak English. Our room was at the complete opposite end on the entrance. The restaurant closed at 3:00 pm?. The room had a dungeon like feeling, musty smell and very little lighting when is was dark. We asked to have the gas stove to work only to wake up with headaches due to the gas smell. Leaving early due to smell, trying to get credit for nights not there. Always a hassle.

Included breakfast could use a little more variety, but it was satisfactory. Most desk staff did not speak English, and we speak almost no Spanish as yet, so communication was a little difficult. I know the hotel is in a Spanish-speaking country and I am the foreigner, but for good business a bit more bilingualism would be good for business. In summary, though, we would stay at this hotel again.

Gorgeous property and an ENORMOUS room. I mean enormous. Great staff, great food, great location. A bit off the beaten path which meant very quiet. Taxis from the hotel generally fast and inexpensive. The room could have used some updating- Raggegy towels, missing bedside lamp, broken shower head. Would still return

I loved it. Staff is superb, all you need do is ask, they respond pronto. Although this property is not for everyone. It is an old hacienda style hotel with charm and not plush resort style rooms. Kitchens with lots of room and RESTAURANT GRADE stove, marvelous. Bring your own kitchen needs, very limited kitchen plates, pots, etc. Had room 209, very comfortable, musty at first but cleared after we opened up the patio doors after a few hours. Bedroom is dark and only one mirror that is in the bathroom which tends to be warm and humid, bring your own travel cosmetic mirror. The hot water is tricky, a on demand hot water system and the pilot light doesn't always ignite at first try but we figured out. Have them light all pilot lights on stove and water heater when you arrive. I will stay here again. Oh, there is no air condtioning so the warm months will be hot in the rooms.

Rustic Mexican charm.

Amazing grounds with beautiful gardens. The hotel staff were friendly, courteous and helpful. The pool was murky at the beginning of the week, but it got cleaned on Wednesday and then it was crystal clear and delightful. Our room was so huge it felt like an apartment with an incredibly large patio. They did bring us fans for our bedrooms, since there is no air conditioning. You have to have them turn on the stove each time you want to use it, and then turn it off afterwards. Our stay would have been close to perfect, if there had been a microwave in the kitchen. This hotel is a picture of Rustic Mexican charm. If you are there in the rainy season be sure you have brought mosquito repellent. We were so thankful for the screens on the windows and patio doors.
