This hotel is nicely located in a funky neighbourhood near a great surfing beach lined with good, inexpensive restaurants. The rooms were very basic, but clean. That's the good news. The bad news is: the pool was NASTY, so dirty you couldn't see the bottom. The day we left a young man was cleaning the scum ring with a cleaner... More

Very helpful staff who speak English, cheap rates and clean, nice rooms. The pools are awesome and big and there is a restaurant with nice food at the front. Excellent location on zicatela beach. Highly recommended!

We stayed here for one night with the intention of staying for a few more but decided after one night not to leave. While the pool looked nice the room was dirty and the staff not very friendly. Wouldn't recommend this place.

Think charging 600pesos a night is abit much in the circumstances. The location is great and the room itself was lovely with a fantastic view of the ocean. When the refurb is complete... More

NExt door cafe has live music several times a week and it is impossible to sleep. Also have had group of tourists partying all night in the hotel pool; when asked staff to... More

Bungalows Zicatela, on Zicatela Beach was in a great location - a short walk across the street to the beach and central to shops and restaurants on Calle Del Morro. The rooms were air conditioned, spacious and clean but simple. The pool area is what prompted us to move here for the rest of our stay. We were at the... More

The family who own the place were soooo great and friendly. The sons will help you with anything...surfing, going to the clubs, taking you to private beaches, etc. We caught a fish and gave it to the restaurant and ate dinner with the family! The location is perfect, right across from the best surfing beach and the lots of clubs... More
