This place is a dump. The bathroom was gross, the metal around the shower is all rusted, the silver on the mirror was almost gone and we had 2 large cockroaches in the bathroom during our trip. The maid never cleaned the bathroom and after 3 days I had to ask for new towels. Only 1 towel per guest, no wash cloths or hand towels. The beach bar is so loud you can't possibly any rest, the music starts before 8:00 am and goes to 10:00 pm. There is no safe in the room only at the front desk and it costs $1 to use the safe. The air conditioning didn't work for 3 days, my travel companion ended up fixing it on his own. This place is cheap and directly across from Mega but if you can afford a better hotel I highly recommend it!

The pool is lovely but small and the restaurant food was great, some restaurant staff have bad attitudes. The hotel is so old and the prices are too high. We were there with a group of 16 people and we all have decided that we will never grace this hotel with our business again. We've stayed there for several years during Carnaval but this year every single one of us were disgusted with the shape the hotel is in. Rating: Very very poor.

Just say no

The worst hotel I have stayed at in Cozumel. This property is so old and uncared for that it should just be razed. The rooms are small, my room was dirty, there was no furniture for the balcony. No chairs in the room at all. The bathroom was dirty. The air conditioning did not work. The Wi-Fi is horrendous. It reeked of bug spray, and yet I found what looked like an assassin bug on my pillow. If you’re not familiar, these bugs cause chagas. When I mentioned it to the front desk, they said oh that’s just a cockroach. Like that’s OK. But it wasn’t a cockroach. The only good thing about this hotel is its location. Just say no.

It should have been our first clue that when we got there to check in the hotel employee asked if we wanted to see the room. There was no hot water, towels were dirty and stained. My pillow had black smudges on it and at some point in the middle of the night some one started screaming expletives in another room. The bathroom had a window that opened to the hallway that could not be closed all the way. There was no elevator and although we thought breakfast was included, we found out that it wasnt and cost almost $80 USD for 4 people (they told us we would get food half off but then found out that was only if you paid cash). The restaurant, pool and property were great. Which is what you see in the pictures. Do not recommend staying at the hotel.

Staff would not change dirty sheets upon arriving to find them dirty. Woman at front desk was nasty to me for asking. Shower had really bad black mold. Toilet seat does not go all the way down. Not worth the price point with how run down everything is and nasty the staff are.

This property continues to go down-hill over the multiple years that I've come to visit the island and stayed here. Every time there were issues with my room whether it's the AC or the bed, they always fixed the issue/moved me, etc.. This time I discovered there was sand inside the bedsheet (obviously from a previous guest) and was told flat out NO, we will not give you clean sheets by the front desk woman. I have stayed in about six of the rooms over the years. Most of the rooms have a horrible very old hard bed that feel like sleeping on wires or the AC is half-dead and loud or the shower is filled with thick mold, or the toilet seat does not go down all the way...just the normal Barracuda stuff. Place needs a new owner and management. Will never return. No hotel staff should ever treat paying customers like this.
