La Palma Beachfront - Self Check IN

The place is a super bargain. You can't beat the price for the area. The band at the restaurant pkays until around 11pm, but we knew that coming in so it didn't take away from the experience. The ocean is literally steps away and the beach us lovely. I personally dud not like Cancun very much. Just another tourist trap to me, be the room was very nice. We enjoyed it.

It was literally on the beach! Playa de Caracol. In fact that is the easiest way to get a taxi to drop you off. It is close to everything. Unfortunately the new manager of the property has her hands full. There is much deferred maintenance. I was there in February and the pool was cold. But if it were warmer would have been a fantastic place to hang out and watch the beach. It is at best an unusual configuration. Located above a restaurant ,at a boat dock inside a wood fence with a gate. No real signage. If you are challenged by stairs this ain't your place. The rooms were clean and well appointed. Although, they were having an issue with the septic system while I was there. I would not call it a resort, hotel or even a motel. It might be called a boutique hotel. But that sounds way to fancy. No gym, no continental breakfast, no elevators, no 24hr lobby. I might stay there again going to or from Isla Mujeres, since it is literally at one of the ferry docks. Also it is right across the street from a large grocery store. So maybe buy supplies for your stay on the island. But there are stores on Isla Mujeres and much more convenient. All of that said I delayed making this review because I liked the new manager so much. She was responsive and helpful. I wish them the best and hope if I stay again I can revise my review to say nothing but good things.

I was in room #8 and it was perfect! Pool right off the beach ENORMOUS room, patio right outside the door. Super easy check in! The door to the hotel is a little hidden, but if you end up at the restaurant they will show you to the hotel door 😍 I'll stay here again next time I'm in Cancun!

Property is right next to isla mujeres ferry terminal so really accesible. Supermarket is also right across the street. Overall in a great location if you’re looking to be in the zona hotelera nearby lots of food/entertainment. Our room was cleaned daily which was very nice. A little noisy, but nothing too crazy. Beach is steps away from the hotel. 8/10 would recommend!

When we got there right off the bat the room was super humid but we didn’t think much of it because the beach and pool is right next to it. We later found that they had cockroaches and big ones too. We sent a message to the lady upfront and all she said was sorry and that she didn’t know that they had cockroaches. It doesn’t even end there the mattress was so dirty it was yellow and had fleas or some type of bugs we have bites all over our body. The bedroom sheets were of poor quality super thin to the point that they feel damp because of the humidity. Their WiFi was so bad we had to use the WiFi of the restaurant next to our room. Do not stay here it has been the worst hotel I’ve ever been to the pictures that they put look nice but that’s not how it actually was. I do not recommended this hotel I suggest that you stay away. I really wish we could get our money back or at least some of it. I am so disappointed.

I was very surprised that ******* would advertise for this hotel. It was miserable. The air conditioner was nasty, no tissues, no washcloths, the washcloth was like a bar rag or hand towel. I do have pictures if you would like to see them or view was terrible. The smell was gross when we open the window. I guess I expected a lot more I was embarrassed.

Guy at the front deck was very friendly here check on us the whole time we was there cleaning lady very nice we would go back anytime

It's right on the beach. If you like sand everywhere between your bed and the beach, you'll like it. The bed was very short, and my feet hung over the bed by 6". I had to sleep diagonally. There was one crappy blanket that was smaller than the bed. It was noisy every night until after midnight. Lots of people yelling and music. Bed was very low with a mattress on a short pedestal. Night lights were "mood" lights that flash red, green, blue every few seconds. They don't send you info on how to check in until 3 hours before arrival. There is almost no place to park. The sewer was overflowing in the parking area and you had to walk through it to get to the room. This place is a joke. There were no beach lounge chairs set up. They were stacked up and chained down. There was NO hot water one night and one morning - not even warm water. When you turn on the faucet or shower, the water spits and spurts and splashes water all over the room. There are more bad things, but these are the worst.

Poor service - no one at the front desk when we arrived . Room was very dirty and smelled like cat poop. The bedding was filthy and stained. Hotel only had 6 rooms. The photos make the property look bigger than it actually is . The property had no clean towels available. Charged $500 for 2 nights left after the first night . Still fighting with the hotel and ******* for the refund for the other days . Do not stay here it’s horrible !!!
