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 🌹

The hotel is old and needs work but we really liked the colonial style buildings and the size of the complex.
Breakfast was decent for what we paid and I enjoyed sitting on our terrace which felt quite private.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Room was very large and comfortable. The property itself was pretty nice. Front desk was helpful but the restaurant staff left much to be desired. Service was really slow and not very friendly. Hotel itself is far from the Central area, would have been helpful if they provided a shuttle.

Great deal! 2 bed 2 bath, kitchen, dining room. Price of motel 6 in US. Great deal. Pool, excellent hotel. Downside, is long walk 15 min from downtown Ajijic, but exercise is good for you. Billard (pool) games. Fantastic breakfast included!

I realize this property is old and there is a great deal of charm to it however.....giving me a room that had the hot water heater shut off, the refrigerator shut off and had dead bugs on the floor every morning (I realize...better than them being alive) should not happen, or at least they could have turned them on when they brought our bags to the room rather than us having to call and ask. Ceiling fans would be nice - no AC during hot season would have been bearable with a ceiling fan.

Beautiful property, great food and spacious rooms

My husband and I stayed here last week (beginning of June). We paid $64 US per night and had a king-size bed, bathroom, living room, full kitchen, garden patio with table and chairs, and 2 walk-in closets. The bedroom and living room both had sliding glass doors that led out to our patio. The room was comfortable and spacious. We basically had an entire apartment to ourselves. Breakfast was included with the price of our room, and it was delicious. The hotel grounds are beautiful and well cared for, with many colorful flowers and loads of fruit trees. The staff was really friendly and helpful. My husband and I arrived several hours too early for check-in, but were cheerfully checked in right away. We were also leaving late on our last day, with an evening flight to the US, but were allowed to keep the room till 5PM at no extra charge. We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and will definitely be back.
