We went for a getaway weekend and stayed at this property. It is somewhat old but in a nice location near a marina, highway, and restaurants.

Property was great. Rooms were pretty good a little bit noisy, but had to do with a car alarm going off. Wish they had more Mexican ions on the menu at the restaurant/bar. Other than that it was an excellent spot would totally recommend.

Everyone was friendly, especially the guard at the gate (the entrance) Martin was very polite, friendly and helpful. Told me where the closest store was and how to get there, always with a bright smile on his face. Property is beautiful, comfy, quiet and close to the ocean. Reception was also nice and all staff, there are many home-like places to stay, it’s like a little town not a hotel. The only thing I didn’t quite like was the mattress, it was way to soft and wobbly. But other than that I give the whole experience 9/10, would definitely come back and also recommend it.

The property needs a major remodeling in the junior suites. Shower heads, sinks, and other furniture are old. There is still a nice view and very quiet due to the several rules they have, like no parties, which is great.

Post; The grounds are nice. Rooms are rustic and comfortable. It's next to Marina so we had cool view. The security guard at the front gate was super chill.
Neg: The amount of rules they have are exhausting. I probably won't stay there often. You cannot even have any visitors at all. They didn't have the dish I ordered at the restaurant. They wanted you wear some paper bracelets like a club. No thanks! The wifi didn't work most of the time.

What i liked the most was the location, and surroundings were great.Also the beer at the bar is great. We did have to upgrade to another room for 600 pesos more due to us not noticing that the one we got only had a fan and no A/C and it was a hot room because the sun was hitting it on the front. When we upgraded the room it was almost the same, just this one had a Minisplit all the way by the bathroom and a fan on the ceiling (that did not work) but since it was small (Minosplit 1 ton i belive) it wasn't cooling the room enough so we called in to the reception and the night receptionist refused to give us another fan when there was others available and started questioning us in a rude way in why we wanted a fan when we already had a/c. (If they didn't have a fan i would've undestood and also if he would of kindly told us , but NO he was RUDE so that we did not like at all, we ended up having to sleep uncomfortable due to that so most likely this will not be an option later on. At least not for us

Good, but not returning.
It just wasn’t the best experience. The WiFi did not work for the entire 3 days of our stay. It was confirmed it wasn’t working on apple products but we were told it should work on any other products. This was not true in our case. The display for the TV was static. The walls are paper thing in the cabin so I heard our neighbors TV all night til 12am and then early in the morning. Hearing them talk was awful when you’re trying to rest. It was truly the worst part of it. We had a fire place and we were given wood but the wood was damp so it took a tremendous amount of effort to light a fire. The pool was a nice touch but it was cold during our stay and we were hoping the jacuzzi would warm up. But it did not. The jets worked but the temperature stayed as cold as the pool. It wasn’t a bad place to stay it just felt like we couldn’t relax. The bed was also very soft so sleeping was uncomfortable. I’d sink into my spouse and I’d have to constantly move out of the sunken area.

We had never stayed here before, and since we were staying one night only, we opted for the junior suite. Finding the office after entering the property was a little challenging as there isn’t parking for the office.
The junior suite was good size, basic room with nice view, but the floors were so cold we kept our shoes on and would not have survived the night without the little portable heater they provided, and that’s with wearing sweats to bed. We stayed Valentine’s Day.
The property has great potential, especially with the mid-century modern cottages…looked like Bedrock or Palm Springs. However, it’s a mish-mash, with a variety of architectural styles and useless areas with so much potential. The pool was all made up for pics with towels and such but cold as ice. No spa.
The bar seemed to be newly built but had no architectural commonality except for a pitched roof. We had 2 margaritas for $20 US dollars…way too much and way too small. Extremely limited menu. I did have a beer tasting which was good. Just a strange area, with 3 bottles of liquor shown and beer taps right in front of the sports tv.
Maybe there’s a new owner? Or this place needs a new owner? It has potential and someone that knows what they’re doing with the property and defined goals for this place.
I’d go back to stay in one of the cottages but nothing else. I wouldn’t go to the bar/restaurant as it stands now. Someone please come in that knows how to creat a successful resort. We have many ideas!!

Staff at front desk was courteous and overall good. I’ve stayed at this property a couple years back with a friend and remembered house to be nice. That being said, the OCEANFRONT CHALET that I rented for 4 people SHOULD NOT BE RENTED OUT UNTIL RENOVATIONS HAVE BEEN DONE. House is VERY OUTDATED and UNSAFE. Some of the “amenities” like a hair dryer have been there since Mexico was founded, it literally came apart when touched. Press 0 to call front desk they said, oh wait NO PHONE. You have to make an international call from your phone if you want to reach the front desk. ATLEAST 2 of the tiles on the floor are very loose. My girlfriend actually TRIPPED ON LOOSE TILE AND CUT HER LEG AND HURT HER HAND/BACK TRYING TO BREAK THE FALL. The shower is super small. If you’re a big / tall person, good luck. It was very cold nights, made that international phone call to reach the front desk, asked if they could bring more firewood and was never told there was an extra charge until the worker who brought it dropped it off. $120MXN which is not alot but front desk should at least inform you of these charges. And speaking of charges, IF YOU USED ANYTHING IN THE KITCHEN, MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN AND WASH EVERYTHING, even the stuff you didn’t use because they will CHARGE YOU $200MXN once you go check out if you don’t. Again .. was never told this before hand. GF went back go wash dishes and worker had dumped EVERYTHING (even unused) in the sink so she could wash it. 2.5 stars at best right now
