Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel was nice, but not woth the cost. Our room was clean, but the stairwell and courtyard areas needed more attention. The patio off our room would have been great to use but the outdoor furnitur was uncomfortable and not enjoyable. At check out we had a shocker a U.S. $25 dollar charge for a handtowl that they said was stained. We saw the towel and any other hotel would have used bleach and removed the stain. Summary pleasant not great and overpriced.for which the hotel said they coul

Thank you for your opinion!

Wow!!!

Pros: Everything!
Cons: It sounds small, but the headboard in our room was metal and wasn't that easy to sleep against; the pillows kept sliding underneath it.
Location: Walking distance to the beach and the mercado, where the locals shop. And honestly, there isn't a dull block in the Zona Romantica!
Halfway through our trip, my girlfriend and I were already planning our next one. I can't sufficiently overstate how perfect this place was; everything from our room to the location to the staff was first rate. Close enough to the beach to walk, but not so close that you get all the touristy, party overflow. We stayed in the Marquesa room, which has a balcony, and its privacy and comfort (and shower that opens up to the trees) is well worth the extra pesos. Sure, you're by the river, across from which is a jazz cafe with nightly live music, but it's more ambiance than nuisance. We will be back, hopefully sooner rather than later!
