Stayed here many times and have recommended it to lots of people, many of whom have stayed also. Lovely staff. Clean rooms. Super comfortable beds and pillows. And the restaurant, Coexist, is excellent.
We felt welcome from the minute we walked in the main door. The lovely woman at reception was very helpful and kind, with a beautiful smile. We didn’t use the pool, but it was very clean and added to the ambiance of the restaurant. We will definitely stay here again. The location is perfect, the bed is so comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was perfect.
I love this property. The hotel staff are extremely friendly and the hotel location is in the heart of old town where you can walk to everything. The pool is in the courtyard and feels like a cenote. The restaurant has excellent service and all the food is delicious. The rooms are large, clean and comfortable with good A/C. Across the street from the malecon sea walk and all the shops and restaurants.
