    "I thought the star rating meant the hotel was clean and comfortable." source Priceline

    "Very clean, quiet, by the beach, good restaurant and buffet, very clean pools, with in walking distance of down town and most of the attractions and tourist stores." source Travelocity

  • Service: Rating of 4.1 out of 5

    "The room was quaint and comfortable; service was exceptional; amenities easily accessible and the breakfast buffet was excellent." source Travelocity

    "Typical of Mexico the beds were a bit hard and the rooms were dated, but it was clean and we had good maid service daily." source Travelocity

    "Breakfast is fine and the beach is great as is the beach service." source Travelocity

    "The desk service was fine, not overly friendly, but not bad." source Travelocity

  • Location: Rating of 4.8 out of 5

    "The room they got was a bigger room with another little living room area." source Orbitz

    "We loved the location." source Priceline

    "This is a thirty year old family orientated Mexican hotel located in the heart of town with thirty year old Mexican plumbing." source Travelocity

    "Beach and pool area nice but crowded." source Priceline

    ":) There are many restaurants within walking distance." source Travelocity

  • Value: Rating of 4.3 out of 5

    "That's right, for the price of breakfast you can eat and drink all day." source Travelocity

  • Room: Rating of 3.3 out of 5

    "Staff wasn't able to change or upgrade the room, even for my wife's 50th birthday, nor offer anything else for the occasion." source Priceline

    "Other than that I was walking out on the balcony to go to my room we didn't have a phone and the space was limited." source Priceline

    "Many rooms are dark, some have no views; there is a musty smell in a lot of the rooms, which can be mainly overcome by just airing them out. \nDecor, however, is Spanish style wood & very tasteful; public areas are really lovely; the situation in the Old Town is just perfect (probably too noisy if you really insist on total peace & quiet, tho' many rooms are relatively quiet), but we like the bustle and activity of Mexican street life." source Travelocity

    "And the bathroom was the worst of all, the floor was one level from the sink and toilet into the shower-so water ran into the room, there were holes in the drywall, texture was spilled down the walls and solidified in chunks on the floor, the toilet sat crooked so you had to hold onto the sink not to loose balance, and there was a water line and wires hanging out of the ceiling." source Travelocity
