What a fantastic place! Lots of stairs with quite a bit of age showing, but we come here for the history and romance of a traditional Mexican hotel!

Loved the beach view and access to town. There are a lot of steps to the beach depending on where your room is. We were fine but some older folks had trouble with the steps. They have a great infinity pool that wasn’t used that much so felt like your own. Nice big rooms, a little older but clean. Service was slow at the restaurants so often ate at the other ones for breakfast and other meals. Their bar had a great spot for sunset drinks and viewing. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Helped us out with wifi issues. Would definitely stay again!

It's right on the beach, palapas for shade and wonderful staff providing food service there. The gorgeous pool was a nice alternative to beach swimming. This is a mid-century hotel with fantastic touches, grounds and history. There are LOTS of stairs, fyi. Go to an Ixtapa all-inclusive if you want sterile and impersonal staff! This place has charming character. A gem with great breakfasts, a sunset view bar and restaurant and friendly staff. Why ever leave?

If you are going there for a nice relaxing time you just need to know that there are a lot of stairs from the lobby to the beach (over 250)! I didn’t know but a lot of the people I talked to love it. I guess if you call the office they can drive you down but who wants to do that?! The hotel is very rustic and could definitely use a make over! It has been there for years and people keep coming back. It was recommended to me and I trusted the person that told me about it. Next time I will be sure to do my homework! Everyone that worked there were very nice!

The staff and ambiance are unparalleled, as is the location of the hotel. The property is a tropical paradise. If you like a challenge, there are 275 steps from the beach to the reception area, which I was able to navigate, daily, 90 days after a broken ankle... We called it "bootie" camp. Mind you, keep in mind, it is important to be a fit person, old or young, and not ideal for very small children. Overall, 5 stars.

The property has a beautiful location on the beach the staff in some areas need more training but will do anything you ask. Very nice people. facility is tired in areas. What ruined my stay was EXPEDIA misrepresenting the room i was getting. What was advertised and what I got were totally different. I am sure all hotels have less desirable rooms and this is what Expedia got me. Staff showed me the room I thought I was getting and it was lovely and would have been a treat to stay in. My first and last time with Expedia.
