Very quite and comfortable and wonderful views. If you want to disconnect this is the place. There are no atm's in the town so bring cash, most places do not take credit cards or debit cards. There are little to no tourists brush up on your Spanish or have google translate. English is not spoken. Enjoyed this town for a couple of days and would definitely return.

Hotel very unique, beautiful ocean view, very quiet and safe area perfect for a relaxing weekend, restaurant food very good and fair price, personnel friendly. Hotel rooms need more amenities, very plain, they need to have a least mini fridge, better bed sheets and pillows and blankets, 19 inch tv is way old fashion, no WiFi available in the room, air conditioner works well but no remote to turn on and off

Liked: Staff & service
Nice location, perched on a cliff with nice lawn in front of the rooms. You can hear the waves crashing, which I found enjoyable. Room was of a good size, bathroom acceptable (toiletries scarce). A/C loud as a tractor's engine. Pool is shared with guests of the adjoining restaurant. Only cash accepted, which can be inconvenient. Expedia should make it clearer that you have no choice other than paying at the hotel (Cash). In conclusion: good for a night stop, but not more than that.

MUST BRING CASH TO PAY HOTEL!!!!!!!

Beautiful location, comfortable room and nice staff. What made our stay terrible is the fact they do not accept credit cards and www.hotels.com did not disclaimed it on their listing. At 7pm when we arrived they asked for the full amount cash (yes, we supposedly paid half online, but it was just a deposit) there is no ATM within 30Km/20miles around, Boca de Yuma is a little town. We ended up driving over 1 hour to get cash from the ATM (included a high fee from it because our accounts were from USA) and almost $150 in Uber. Ridiculous! this situation literally ruined our short stay, breakfast was included (as per the website and my receipt) but at the reception we were told nothing was included with our room...... Absurd!!!! The owner was in the hotel the last day and I bet he saw the frustration in our faces and after back and forth with the staff about the included breakfast, he decided to offer us a free dinner. Thanks for that. This place has a lot of potential, but definitely needs A LOT of improvement, specially in the payments area. I wish I could recommend this place because I really like it, but based on my personal experience, I would wait a couple of years until technology gets there.

Authentique

Loin des hôtels tout inclus, ce restaurant-hôtel (car uniquement 4 ou 5 chambres) a une vue magnifique. Toutes les chambres donnent sur un petit jardin collectif avec une vue imprenable. Inconvénient : tout se paye en cash (hôtel et restau). Ils n'acceptent pas les cartes bancaires. La piscine est plutot appréciable mais n'est pas reservée qu'aux personnes de l'etablissement => bcp d'enfants

Wunderschöner Ausblick aufs Meer!!! Gutes Restaurant mit netter Bedienung und guter Auswahl. Pool vorhanden, Ort in 15 min zu Fuß erreichbar. Frühstück in Ordnung, aber keinerlei Abwechslung. Nach 4 Tagen Eierspeise, Weißbrot, Butter und Marmelade sehnt man sich nach Abwechslung. Aber die meisten Leute bleiben nur 1 oder 2 Nächte. Wir checkten aus bestimmten Gründen für 4 Nächte ein. Fazit: Empfehlenswert!
