Just got back from a long weekend at Sotavento. We stayed in the captain's suite on top floor. Our first room (812) had a strange corner on the walkway outside the door with little protection from a large drop, with 2 young boys who could easily miss the corner and end up in the ravine, we asked to be moved... more

We have stayed at the Sotavento off and on since 1998. For the most part, we have had very positive experiences. Staff has been friendly and helpful. Speaking a little Spanish definitely helps!! Do not stay here if you are looking for a luxury hotel. It is a basic, Mexican beach hotel. The rooms are comfortable but fairly basic. The... more

The staff at the Sotavento are most kind and friendly, very helpful with whatever needs you may have. Yes, there are lots of stairs, but that was the only exercise we got everyday, after lounging on the beach, with food and drinks brought to us at our whim. Love this hotel, and will definitely go back. more

After a pleasant stay in February we returned in August. However things changed like the food which became much worse. But the real problem are the windows of the rooms that don't include glass. So every noice your neighbours make you hear easily. One night people arrived at 3 am in the morning and talking out loud next to our... more

The Sotavento Beach Resort is a lovely Mexican beach resort located directly on the beautiful Playa La Ropa. Our family booked two captain suites (air conditioned) and we were pleased with the accomodations. The balconies overlooking the ocean were welcoming and the rooms were sufficient to hold two adults and four young children comfortably. The staff was amicable and quick... more

We have just come back from a lovely stay at the Sotavento beach resort. After reading some of the more negative reviews we were apprehensive about our upcoming holiday. However upon arrival we were immediately greeted by friendly and helpful staff who tried their upmost to accomodate our wishes throughout our whole trip (despite our complete lack of spanish!). We... more

An over-professional website is not at all representative of the Sotavento Beach Resort. When we got there we discovered a somewhat dirty room without air conditioning or tv, and a bathroom with very little privacy. Hotel services were mediocre at best and the food was highly disagreeable. The included breakfast was disgusting, and the restaurant staff was generally rude and... more

I went, again, to vrbo.com to find a nice and cheap place to stay. There was a charming "ocean suite" for one to four (two beds, maybe) just on the seaside! Great Lie! The problem was that it was a hotel. A huge one. I like it and I hate it. I like it because it's built on the mountainside.... more

Stayed here with my wife in May for 1 night while driving through Mexico. Wanted to stay on the best neach at Zihuantanejo, and hadn't booked anything. So walked in here after decing a USD 200 offer next door for a small room not overlooking the ocean. This place charged roughly USD 90 for their biggest room including breakfast, USD... more
