"The place is so situated! In between the lagoon and beach. The staff was lay back but at your service. He was attentive. The room was clean and ample. "
"I’ve stayed at this property 3 times and each time it has been a great experience. The rooms are very affordable and clean. The AC works very well especially since Barra can get very hot and humid. I really enjoy the hotel restaurant. The food is very good and the kitchen is very clean. The pool is beautiful and they often have live music. I highly recommend asking staff about events and things to do on the property. Overall a great place to stay. I highly recommend."
"This is a simple hotel on the beach with some rooms facing the ocean. Rooms are of a typical size. The bathroom is tiny with the sink separated from the toilet and the shower by the door. A typical smell of a hotel room in a tropical climate.
Upon check-in they require you to sign a list of house rules, one of which prohibits you from bringing any food or drinks not purchased on premises to your room; quite weird."
"The hotel was easy to find (driving) and a block from the bus terminal. It is beachfront and also has a very clean pool. The pool isn’t huge but easily accommodated a few guests at a time. Staff were super friendly, attentive and helpful. They were quite willing to translate with a phone into English and tolerant of my feeble Spanish; also Great with my kids. Drinking/ cooking water was provided in big bottles. The kitchenette had just enough equipment.
Wifi was free and the signal was steady. My husband’s phone didn’t like the signal in the living room but mine was fine. Plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. It’s easy to buy eggs fresh every day. Pharmacy and Oxxo are close. Locals are quite pleasant. Traffic is not rushed. Access to the highway is easy if you want to check out Barra de Navidad and it’s less than 30 minutes to the airport. It’s worth noting that there are strong waves along much of this beach with some riptide areas where water circles from the steeper beach (ex. next hotel to either side) into the gentler slope. Teens and adults swam and boogie boarded nearby. Little kids should swim further north as the slope is gentler and extends into the water a little further. People fish from the beach at twilight. A review of Google Earth views and depth charts estimates 80+ meters of “shallow-ish” water from high tide mark. I am 5’11” and was over waist deep at ~40m from the high tide mark on a steeper slope. Strong undertow."
