Xcacelito Beach

Okay so this review would have been 5 star if it wasn’t for a few eye sore and moody front desk staff. When my girlfriend and I arrived we went to front desk to inform my girlfriend is joining me. I booked a beachfront view room with king bed. The staff quickly charged me $50 for each night to add my girlfriend. I said okay so what’s included with my stay since I’m paying an additional $50. The staff responded firm and annoyed saying nothing. We didn’t ask for additional towels or pillows. Besides the pools there was no other amenities to use. You had to pay for everything which I’m okay with but didn’t see the justification of an additional $50 a night. My room bathroom was outdated, rusted bathroom fixtures and with a hairdryer defect. I was not going to have the small things affect my stay. Moving on, there was construction outside near the pool which was an eye sore. Now let’s talk the positive side of my stay. Pool staff and cleaning staff were very helpful and hospitable. They made my girlfriend and I have an amazing time with their service. We had breakfast one time at the hotel. You can get a much better experience at a restaurant near the hotel. We had an amazing oceanfront view and enjoyed the sunrise from our patio. Comfortable beach setting by the hotel beach area. The hotel is very close to 2 good restaurants. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner at Capri. Lunches we enjoyed at The Surfin Burrito.

The reception desk closed at 5 pm which is so early on and since there isn’t any transportation it was tough to coordinate anything because other than the receptionist nobody spoke English and she left after 5. Maybe it was off season but the whole place was uncharacteristically empty.
