Fourth time at El Alquimista. The hotel is really showing its age. The recent storms have taken a toll. Instead of investing in the property each year, the property has stayed the same over the past four years. The fixtures and fittings are showing age, the menu hasn’t changed, the loungers are worn. I’m sad to say that my time at El Alquimista is over. On to find a new hotel in the area.

Unbeatable location, right at the end of Zipolite beach with amazing rock formations. Restaurant was the highlight - excellent food and service and stunning views. Yoga studio and instructors were top notch. Room was a bit dated but generously sized and comfortable with outdoor shower.
