The only negative things were the fridge since it had yellow stains and barely worked. The second negative thing was the the door lock seemed lose and felt very unsafe, overall it was a pleasant stay and in a convenient area.

We loved everything about our stay. The suite up the hill was beautiful, with incredible views and impeccably maintained. The kitchen was surprisingly well appointed and we basically had a private pool five feet from the door. The main hotel restaurant was delicious, and service all around was fantastic.The funucular to access the suite was a blast. We can't wait to return.

The bungalows are part of the (great) Santa Fe hotel. I had the suite on top of the hill, very special. But only upon arriving I found out that it was actually only the bedroom of the suite, which for instance meant that we had no mini bar or fridge in the room. Weird!
View, location, pool etc were great.

The bungalows were quite large and roomy. The pool was lovely and pleased that we were able to use the pool from Santa Fe resort.
The cleaning staff and the service in the restaurant were awesome. The check-in ladies were great and a quick checking.
Quite noisy with traffic when sitting on the deck. Would be nice to have AC in the main living area of the bungalow.
Great location except for the noise.

We loved the stay. Room was clean and with plenty of room for our children. It was equipped with a kitchen and plates to make a dinner there in the room. Elizabeth was our housekeeper and we absolutely loved her. She is very knowledgeable about the area and is willing to answer any questions you may have. The beach is a short walk away, however, people are cautioned to not go into the water in that particular area is very rough. Taxis are in the area, very useful to go other ports where the water is more family friendly. Must try el cafecito down the street, el arrebato downtown, and punta brasas in punta zicatela. Visit the the Benito Juarez Mercado, try the food at the huquileñas.

Es un hotel que se ve que no le han metido 1 peso en 25 años, así de simple ventanas, cortinas, camas, toallas, baños ; todo viejísimo, es una lástima ya que el proyecto del hotel es bonito, sin embargo lo han dejado caer terriblemente.

Rustico, pero Moderno
Es un lugar de aspecto rústico, agradable y cómodo; salvo por el aire acondicionado que le roba lo rústico, pero que te permite si lo deseas, congelarte, de lo buen aire que es, ventilando ambas habitaciones del bungalow, y permitiendote descansar por la noche, placidamente.
Es una buena a excelente opcion para las familias de 4 a 6 elementos.
Ademas cuenta con minicocineta y los suficientes utensilios de cocina requeridos.
