We stayed at the Buena Vista Motel on April 21-23, 2012 and had a great time. The room was comfortable, clean, practical, and quiet. Mike and his crew are hospitable and laid-back. I felt very welcome to make myself at home there! The beach is right out the back door, the grocery store (excellent, too, by the way) is right... More

We stayed at two places in Mexico City. I would not stay here unless the other three hotels were sold out. Sheets were worn so thin they were scratchy. Bathroom small and everything very dated. Lock broken on room door. Service was good and location is excellent is the only reason for three star rating. More

If their was ever a quaint little place to be, folks, this is it. The people here are fantastic. I had been told by a really good friend that if I ever visited Mexico Beach, this was the place to stay. I am so thankful that I did just that. The management treated me like I was family and royalty... More

Just got back from a four day stay at the Buena Vista. Could not have been better. Mike, the guy who runs the place, was very friendly and told me what choices I had for entertainment in Mexico Beach in the winter. It turns out I needed go no further than the beach. The rooms are clean and if you... More

This is a small motel (6 rooms) right on the beach. We were in #5, upstairs and beach side. Great panaramic views of the beach from a wrap around wooden balcony. Room was plain but clean with 2 full size beds, TV, dining table & chairs, kitchenette consisting of sink, microwave and coffee pot, but not stocked for cooking. NO... More

To begin we never even had a chance to stay here. After being in the Bahamas for five days we drove our rental car from Orlando to this "Motel", When we get there walk in to be greeted by a guy named Mike, he asked our name for our reservation and then says "oh S#!t" I don't seem to have... More

I've visited Mexico City Beach many times either as a couple, family, friends, and even solo. Considering it's family owned and operated it's okay. I worry about the level of 'hotel quality' clean. Great view, friendly staff, overall a good stay. More

Laid back and a great view. Hotel is right on the beach. Is a nice and simple hotel and Mike and Clare were great on giving directions and places to eat. Kayaking was great and could not have found a better place stay. Will go back. Thanks Mike and Claire for everything. More

First let me say that I really liked the managers, its a family run operation and with relaxed service, meaning you won't get the quick attention and flash of a chain, but you wont get the run around either. You get the feeling that they really would like you to come back. The room was pretty good, decor was plain,... More
