Detalles con la taza de baño de ahí en fuera todo muy bien
Una maravilla de lugar. Fácil de llegar, precios accesibles. Habitaciones limpias y muy atentos. Muy tranquilo el lugar para descansar.
Excelente servicio a precio accesible , si aceptan mascotas y les dan buena atención hasta arreglaron la camita de mi perro , está cerca de la playa, te dan la opción de cocinar tus propios alimentos ya que cuentan con una pequeña cocineta.
Las habitaciones podrían ser mejores con un poco más de servicios, sin embargo, la ubicación está EXCELENTE, a 5 minutos de la bahía principal, igual a minutos del Chedraui... El servicio es muy bueno, te atienden con amabilidad y honestidad, las zonas para estar tanto en la entrada del hotel hasta la alberca están tranquilas y bonitas
Esta SERCA de de las playas lo único malo fue la televisión solo tiene señal nacional y se traban los canales
Me encantó, todos los días limpian las habitaciones, cambian las sábanas, son muy atentos en la recepción. Super como las habitaciones, el clima funciona super bien, para el precio, esta excelente!!!! Lo recomiendo bastante
La habitación que me asignaron tenía todo, agua caliente, clima, pero en las habitaciones de arriba escuché que no había agua, ni aire acondicionado. Lo único malo es que los baños no tienen ventilación.
Even though one bed is really uncomfortable, there's no place to hang wet clothes and the internet connection is weak, I didn't have a bad time. People in charge are nice and common areas are comfortable and clean. Keep in mind that I am not a beach person so I can't tell you much in that respect.
Set in a whitewashed building a 4-minute walk from both the nearest beach and the ADO bus terminal, this relaxed hotel is also 6 km from surfing at Punta Zicatela.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
