basic hotel with good roof terrace
A couple of km north of the main commercial area, hotel had nice roof pool and a simple breakfast. There were a few parking spots. My room was very basic and somewhat dark (window looked on to a corridor). Price was fair for PDC --- plus a good taco place opposite.

Got a room on the 1st floor, with no blind except a transparent one!
Everyone could see in the room, people on the street and people living in the apartment on the other side of the street!
Room also had a humidity smell hidden with lot of perfume to hide it.
We did ask to move to another room but we've been told there is no other available. We did ask to cancel and leave but again, not possible so we left. Very bad experience

Trust me when I say that this is not somewhere you want to stay. There were so many bad things about this accommodation that we just had to laugh about it, otherwise we would cry.
The day staff was helpful when we first arrived and neither the fan nor AC nor TV worked in our room. She tried to help, but was not successful in fixing the problem. We stuck out the lack of AC in the extreme heat for 2 nights as there were no alternative rooms apparently, but we got no sleep because the room was stifling, plus no one in this hotel respects quiet hours and will happily be having loud conversations in the hallway for long periods of time in the middle of the night.
To get a room change, we had to really fight and not take no for an answer from the night staff who seemed to be unwilling to help in any situation because it might make her actually lift a finger and do her job. Once we did get moved to a room on the same level as reception, we did finally have AC, but every night this lady was either talking loudly on the phone to her mates, or had friends at the front desk talking and laughing loudly from midnight to early hours of the morning.
To then make this experience even more
"exciting", the water went out for over 48hrs, the pool was a damn murky and dirty disgrace, the
"breakfast provided" was literally sliced apple with maple syrup and a sprinkle of granola every day, and both rooms we had plus our friends in another room all had little bits of blood on the bedsheets.

I didn’t have cold water in my stay and they just told me that they can’t do nothing about it. And they didn’t have any room available to make the change. And they say they cannot make a refund. So, I just have to satay there and taking showers with cold water.

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at Punta Esmeralda! The staff was friendly and helpful, it was IMMACULATELY clean, comfortable and a great spot!
Playa Punta Esmeralda was a 5 minute walk away and a beautiful beach! The little market across the street was great for snacks and drinks. 5th Ave was only a 50 peso taxi ride away. GREAT spot for the price! If you're looking for a wonderful 'boutique' hotel for your stay, this is the one!!

The staff was VERY Friendly!! I feel bad that I can't give 5 stars, but wanted to give people an accurate idea of what you will be getting here.
1st- Hotel IS clean! Staff is friendly & helpful. Room was huge. Overall pleased with that.
BUT- Very limited "amenities". Not even an ice machine. Only 1 chair in our room. Breakfast was white bread & a toaster, butter & a jelly, coffee or water. Getting a blanket and towels was like asking for gold. Never got an extra pillow. Only 1 trash can in the room (in bath)
Overall it was decent place to base our trip from, we only slept there. But it is not a resort that you'd want to lounge around at. Neighborhood was a little sketchy too, although nothing bad ever happened to us or rental car. If you're used to staying at a 4 or 5 star resort, you will probably be disappointed. If not, it's not bad for the money!

Friendly staff, comfortable rooms, and proximity to the beach make this a great stay.
Staff really worked with me to find things I needed or figure out how to navigate the area.
It's far from 5th, but you can rent bikes from a place nearby and get around pretty easily. Hailing a cab may take some time.
The pool and rooftop are nice enough - no umbrellas though, so plan accordingly.
Book a deluxe room if you want to access balcony or beach views.

Interesting stay
I feel there are some mis-communications between this booking site and actual hotel. Example would be that Hotels.com said we would be booking Deluxe room with two Queen beds and hotel doesn’t even offer that option. Although the hotel was quick to accommodate us with two beds it made for an awkward exchange at check in and will rate higher due to that!

Worst stay ever. A/C was leaking water, a lot of water. They had to come clean the puddle it left every night till they put a bucket. I asked to get moved to a different room and they said were full... there was mold on the walls from the moisture. The rooms in the ad have outside windows but most rooms only have a window into the hallway which is a danger. The ad shows bicycles but they do not have bicycles... very noisy with all the construction around the area and whenever someone closes a door it make a loud noise that everyone can hear... anyone talking in the hallway is going to wake you up so its a disaster if kids are staying there
