Room was simple, large and clean. Loved the view from the deck. Bed very hard, as well as the pillows. We stayed 2 nights and the house keeper did not clean the room, not sure if housekeeping is only on certain days or not. Great location to the beach, restaurants & shops. You have to climb steps and go up/down slopes which can be challenging especially if you have mobility concerns. Staff were very helpful & friendly. We did enjoy our stay.

Everything was excellent
What a great property right off the beach. Great restaurants nearby. Air conditioner worked great. We could hear the waves all night long. Could see the ocean from our balcony

The room was in good condition, and the staff was courteous. It was a very convenient location to the beach and the town of Mazunte. Room had a balcony with a pleasant view to enjoy the hotel's coffee and to enjoy the birds in the trees and see people on the street. It was Mardi Gras, so we enjoyed a lot of live music at the beginning of the week coming from the restaurants (My elderly mom had a different opinion after 10 PM). The rooms had a significant number of surfaces to arrange belongings. Strangely, however, only a couple of hooks on a mirror and no closets or wardrobes for hanging clothing, nor drawers. I know that bed bugs are a big problem everywhere now, so perhaps this is a strategy to enable thorough cleaning after guests depart? Beds on the hard side. Otherwise, enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Great location with easy access to the beach. Just keep in mind that reaching the rooms includes a bit of a steep walk if you have any walking disabilities.
