Create location, good restaurants nearby. Very close to the heart of the action on fifth Avenue. Hotel is charming. Right on the beach. Staff could not be more friendly or helpful. Good restaurant on premise. Very good breakfast included. Room comfortable and clean. Good air conditioning and sea breeze. We have been there three times over 20 years and it’s only gotten better. Enjoy.
The room the restaurant the garden all absolutely clean and welcoming. The location is perfect, safe and secure. The garden is beautiful and tastefully lit at night. The staff are so friendly and their service is first class.
I’ve stayed there 3 times in the last 12 months and there is NOTHING the hotel and staff could do to improve this hotel.
For me it is a home away from my home in Canada and I miss it the minute I check out.
The entire property is spectacular. Staff, location, food, staff, beach and rooms, check in and check out faultless. This was my 5th stay and it just keeps getting better.
Room is clean, spacious & convenience location. Front desk staff are extremely friendly always with smile especially Carolina went above & beyond to make sure we are in a good hand.
The made to order breakfast from on site restaurant is a plus.
We walked to ferry terminal ~8mins to catch vessel over Cozumel

🇨🇦 Solo senior single. Room was spotless. Water in the shower was hot. I appreciated the staff’s kindness and willingness to problem solve, as opposed to passing judgment, when I lost my key or any requests that were made. Appreciated the included breakfasts and servers recommendations. The staff worked as a team to make you feel at home.
I loved this place! Everyone was very friendly and welcoming.

It’s well situated, but TV did not work and no parking which you have to pay extra. They offered breakfast and thing that it made it special was that they fix you a box with sandwich, apple and a bottle of water to take for early excursions.
We were a group of 4. Our rooms were ocean front, 20’ from the water with private patios and balconies. Incredibly beautiful! One of our group had a garden room, which didn’t get the ocean breeze but felt like being in the jungle. The rooms were large and clean with ceiling fans and a/c. The hotel staff was lovely! The hotel is very safe and secure with a locked gate and overnight security guard. We always felt safe!
The restaurant staff was 10 stars!! Big shout outs to Isaac, Daniel, and the tall guy from Argentina (forgot his name.) The food was delicious, and the drinks were strong.
The property is so pretty, small scale and close to the ground, with a lovely interior garden. If you like cats, there is a family of 6 living in a lot across the street, and a couple of chickens. The bar right beside the hotel takes care of them ❤️
The hotel is a quiet oasis, and all the action is steps away on Quinta Avenida. 10th and 15th Avenidas are a few blocks walk, a little quieter, with a huge variety of bars and restaurants. There is shopping everywhere, a lot of it typical tourist fare, but off 5th Ave it gets cheaper. There is a an artisan market Thurs-Sun every week on 8th St and 15th Ave where we found unique, handmade, top quality art, jewelry, crafts and clothing, and there are many food vendors. Lots of locals in the plaza and sometimes entertainment. Definitely worth checking out the market for an authentic Mexican experience! About a 5 minute walk from the hotel.
