Casona Sforza
This property was safe and made us feel like our second home. If we needed anything at all they were most accommodating! In fact one night we stayed with friends out of town and they contacted us making sure we were ok which made us feel good! Everyone on the staff was amazing!

Hotel Rockaway
This is a good hotel to stay. Friendly staff. Breakfast was good. Zicatela beach was only across the street. Good restaurants only a few steps away. Quiet and very safe place. If you use the swimming pool or go to the beach they lend you towels. Highly recommended.

Great location. Great restaurant with great food. We were located on the third floor. The hostel only has stairs so be prepared to walk up 100-200 steps to get to your room every time you come and go. It’s fairly tough when you are carrying your luggage or groceries.
