Very Good

The entire property is spectacular. Staff, location, food, staff, beach and rooms, check in and check out faultless. This was my 5th stay and it just keeps getting better.
The room the restaurant the garden all absolutely clean and welcoming. The location is perfect, safe and secure. The garden is beautiful and tastefully lit at night. The staff are so friendly and their service is first class.
I’ve stayed there 3 times in the last 12 months and there is NOTHING the hotel and staff could do to improve this hotel.
For me it is a home away from my home in Canada and I miss it the minute I check out.
Room is clean, spacious & convenience location. Front desk staff are extremely friendly always with smile especially Carolina went above & beyond to make sure we are in a good hand.
The made to order breakfast from on site restaurant is a plus.
We walked to ferry terminal ~8mins to catch vessel over Cozumel
We really enjoyed this small beachfront hotel. It has an authentic Mexican vibe with lots of stone pathways and tile and no elevators. Our large room overlooked the beach and had a large terrace with a hammock which was great for watching the sunrise.
The beachfront restaurant was well run, with good food and quick, friendly service. They provided food and beverage service on the beach also. The beach area is busy, but we were able to find beach beds fairly easily. The hotel is just a few minutes walk from Fifth Avenue, so was very convenient for shopping and restaurants. It’s not a fancy place, but we would definitely stay again!
It was really lovely. Great location, beach is beautiful even with the rocky sections. Food was amazing. Staff was friendly and attentive. Only issue was the wifi went out a few times, but otherwise we loved our stay there.
Stayed here for the second time and love it so much, reasonable price for nice hotel, staff is very friendly, the breakfast is excellent, beach beside. Thanks!
