Cholla Bay Hotels, Puerto Peñasco

"Great property"

"Very clean place … good breakfast lady really does a great job "

"Ocean view. On the beach "

"If you don't mind music playing past midnight, if barking dogs don't bother you, if you're okay with 6am extended train blasts ay close range, then you'll like this place. Clean, comfortable bed, friendly staff. "

"Excellent customer service "

"First , tbe hotel was in the middle of complete renovation. There was scaffolding accross the balconies, exposed wiring, uneven walkways and steps, construction people working on all floors and debris everywhere. There was no sound insulation from the loud beach party accross the street that lasted past 2:00 am.. The shower had no shelving, so the shampoo bottles were on the floor. The pictures looked completely different from reality. Even the "beach access" photo was photoshopped to take out the large moss-covered, jagged boulders that prevented beach access. I have photos to.prove it. We left the hotel a day early, and received a partial refund. A truly regrettable experience start to.finish. "

"Perfect "

"Firstly, the hotel IS NOT located where Expedia indicates it is located. It is, in fact, 20 minutes further away. The price would indicate this is a relatively high end accommodation, but it is equivalent to an average Motel 6, with a fair value closer to $50/night. There is a rock band that begins playing at 9:30 pm, and plays until 1:00 am. If you have a pool/ocean view room like I did, the drums echo VERY LOUDLY into your room. The furthest room is only 50 feet from the stage, which is separated from the pool area by a plastic sheet, not a wall. The beds are so hard you will likely wake up with bruised ribs. And I stayed in mid-February, so I had to strip the bedding off the second queen bed to not freeze to death at night. The rooms have been cleaned well, but the carpet and bedding is very old and shows stains of past guests. The location is roughly in the middle of the beach, but behind the beachfront hotels, so the ocean view is only partial. And if you want to sleep at night, you will have to opt for the desert view rooms, which don't have balconies and are much more dated, and smaller. There is a restaurant in the hotel that serves "western food". There is one hotel restaurant a short walk away, which is expensive. All other food and entertainment is a minimum 20 minute walk away, with no street lights. There are no safes in the rooms, and only 5 small ones at the front desk. A laptop won't fit. The beach is very nice, as were the sunrise and sunset."

"Location & access to beach were great, however structure improvements should be completed more completely "
