Very good hotel! It is so clean and the reception is friendly. You also can fill up water for free. The room has an aircondition and ventilation. The location is perfect, only 20 minutes to the beach and 5 min to the center. We would come back for sure :)
We stayed here for 2 weeks in February 2023, quiet location away from the noise and expats in Zikatela. Walking distance to Playa Carrizalillo and Markets, local restaurants and Rinconada. A very clean and exeptionally friendly staff, a family run Hotel with large rooms and very good prices. We really enjoyed staying here, super fast WIFI (230 Mbps+) Refrigiator, Flat screen TV, always hot water, laundry service for a very good price, and such a quiet atmosphere away from the most tourist areas. Thank you Alberto&Angelita we will miss you!
Great hotel for great value (A/C rooms, parking, etc)! Everything is super clean and comfortable. Most importantly, it's locally owned and the family is SO sweet and accommodating! For example, they valet park cars overnight and when it rained, they reparked the cars so that drivers would be able to get in their car without getting wet.
Very, very clean rooms. Very, very friendly staff. Seems like a very quiet neighbourhood only the sounds of the birds. Very careful and helpful about parking. I'd go again. Thank you staff.
This place is such great value for money. The rooms are very clean, there is good air conditioning. It’s in a handy location and all the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. This has been the best place we have stayed in Mexico.
Very kind people working here and rooms are great; comfy and clean. Delicious fresh mangos which fall from their tree every day and great free coffee in the mornings. We stayed twice!
Absolutely fine for staying in PE. Not the greatest location but fine for its price point and the room was super clean when compared to anything else in mexico. Laundry services on site. Note: no taxi drivers knew it, apparently it used to be called "Hotel Escondido".
Incredibly clean, very nice staff, good room service. They have air conditioning, hot water, free coffee and free water, what more can you ask for? Norberto the reception guy is really nice and friendly. The only downside is that the rooms almost amplify the noise in the street and can't block out the noise of other guests. Is 20 minute walk from the beach.
Set within a largely residential area, this straightforward hotel is less than a kilometer from Federal Highway 200 and 2 km from Coral Beach.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
