The restaurant at Boca Chica Hotel has been popular with both locals and tourists for decades, serving good food with infamously slow, but friendly service. The hotel was sold and beautifully and trendily modernized by Habita (the Mexican chain that acquired the property) who wisely kept the retro feel and also wisely left the lovely restaurant well alone. The menu... More

The Hotel itself is very old, but fully renovated. It is small, with only one restaurant, a bar and a very small night club. It has just about 30 rooms. It is kept very clean and tidy everywhere, from the rooms to the halls, and the all the common areas. The pool area is small, and if the hotel is... More

American Express found this place for us. We came into town at midnight, I know what your thinking so was I. Please do not believe all the bad press, we had no problems and we were in a rental car (another subject). This place is hard to find, we paid a taxi driver to take us to it, we were... More

OK.. so we went to relax on our wedding anniversary, first off october is the off season so there wasn't that many people on the property, I don't know how it gets very crowded on spring break, summer or new years... it really is kind of a long drive from the airport-toll road you have to go across all of...

My partner & I had studied A LOT before we booked Boca Chica for a 2 day chill-out before we boarded a cruise. We could not have made a better choice! It IS a trip getting there from the airport - all the way around the bay. It's not in the middle of "everything". But who wants to spend their... More

Boca Chica is an incredible hotel thats beautiful visually with an AMAZING Chef and Staff who will take care of your every need. The place was well maintained, anything you ask for was handled. The staff is WONDERFUL and they almost all speak english in case you dont speak spanish. The rooms are light and airy with a deck and... More

I just retruned from 5 glorious days at the Hotel Boca Chica. I arrived early at 8am and was allowed an early check in without incident or upcharge. The staff was helpful and the twice daily maid service was something I didn't expect from a $90/night rate. The hotel has a bunch of really cool retro touches to complement the... More

I was certainly lured by the charm and nice photography of the hotel, the reviews posted on it are all over the place, but here is my take. Know what it is, and what it is isn't. It is retro 1950's Hotel in dense urban environment, it is NOT a secluded all-inclusive resort on a beach which might tailor to... More

The property itself is spectacular, though as mentioned earlier it is in a poor (certainly NOT unsafe) area. You can easily catch a bus or cab to town. We had a great experience for the 10 days that we stayed - very lazy lounging by the pool - but we had issues with the room when we arrived since we... More
