Honestly, unless you are use to the Wild West, isolation and eating at local convenience store Oxxo this is not for the average tourist! It’s in middle of no where, no food available. We are at convenience store. Room is outdated with old ac still in wall, fan was hanging off ceiling and it was uncomfortable bed. If just need a place to crash on route to next destination it is ok for one night, but definitely not a vacation location

Horrible
We were told there was a restaurant there and it has none. We were tired from driving and didn’t want to have to go in search of a restaurant (the main reason we chose this place) so false advertising. The place is run down and many vacant rooms. But the main reason we decided to not stay there was upon entering the room, directly outside was a large cockroach and more dead ones on the floor. The room smelled bad. We asked for a refund immediately and we were told they would. But hotels.com subsequently said that they would not refund our money.

Good for one night.
It was a very simple room with no tv. The room smelled of mould and had some obvious signs of wear from the salt water.

Don’t waste your time. This place is a dump. Property is completely worn down. Electrical didn’t work in the room. Toilet was broken. Mosquitoes another flying insects everywhere. We checked out after two hours of checking in and move to a different property.

Peace and relaxation!
Just know that it is “CASH ONLY” I would stay here again, the room was good the beds were comfortable and clean. The managers son is an EMT and came right to the room for our COVID test to return home. The restaurant is under construction for a fire as of 11/13/2021 but should be done very soon. Peace and quiet and relaxing is in abundance. Brenda at the bar makes a mean pina colada!

Comfy beds
Cool location / nice stargazing
We were received poorly and they didn’t even have us marked as guests for the evening
No wifi in the room
Half the hotel is dilapidated and trashed
No light on the porch or inside minus the lamp on the nightstand
The only outlets that work are in the bathroom
There is a desk but no chair, why?
The chairs on the balcony and the tiles in the room and bathroom feel crusty and dusty and like they haven’t been cleaned in years.
Hair in the drain and soap tray in the shower
