Hotel Sol Playa

GO LOCO! you will not regret it. We stayed in room 2...one of the best hehe biased ..its the one right over the thatch roof restaurant that closes at 9PM. The room was spacious, two balconies + a rooftop balcony. Breakfast..authentic Mexican!! and coffee that would rival Starbucks included. The room was comfortable, affordable and cleaned daily. We stayed for 9 days and were sad to leave. Only 5 minute walk along a lovely pathway to Playa 88: a public, well maintained coral white sand beach with all the amenities except food and water. This property faces 5 th. Ave. which is closed to cars and a popular walkway for both locals and tourists alike. Being a residential neighbourhood, its very quiet at night and has security O/N around the property. Ready for supper?? Well the restaurant has an incredible seafood soup as well as a full menu in addition to rockin' margueritas :) Want to go afield? You can catch the bus for 10 pesos three blocks up or the staff will be happy to get you a taxi to downtown for +/- 120 pesos and get all the shopping you need to do and enjoy the fab restaurants on Norte 38 - pricey but FAB. Who needs an all inclusive when you can have all the amenities handy, only 4 rooms on the property and a wonderful, helpful staff and owner. There were a few drawbacks such as the need for chairs on the balcony and a sitting/lounging area around the TV. The bed could also use a bedspread...there was only a sheet and more kitchenware in order to make and eat meals/snacks. Other than that - great place for the price - and so so charming!!

They have caged birds outuside that are chirping loudly ALMOST 24 HOURS / DAY. It's so cruel to the birds but so disturbing to peace of everyone. They start up again around 3am. It's so loud and annoying - even with all of the doors and windows closed you can hear it. Terrible & so inconsiderate for the poor birds and people. Wish we could have enjoyed the ocean breeze with open sliding doors... HAD TO SLEEP WITH EAR PLUGS. Thanks a lot.
