Carla Betty above and beyond their friendliness showed us some places really made our stay awseomee

Nothing

There was no breakfast? Location is good, beds were good

Shower, Also there was no shelving in room or bathroom

Location was OK. Staff OK.

First room offered was like a prison cell and refused to take it. The next was just OK. Parking was a nightmare and my car was blocked in for 2 hours when I needed to leave. Poor organisation and the owner spent most evenings playing cards with friends. Coach groups in over the weekend did not help either.

Very pleasant on a local street.

The written description was wrong and very misleading. and disappointing. It said it was on the ocean//Beach It was 2 blocks away But since there's no beach that is accessible and no swimming or wading .. This needs to be mentioned. The main / only activity is eating and shopping.

Property is in a good location. Staff, as I have found with most hotels in Mexico, is very friendly and helpful.

Bed was hard as a rock. I had to bring in an air mattress from my camping supplies. The room had rust on the door frames, mold on the ceiling, no hot water, and was not very well-kept. Just shabby

Friendly staff, easy to walk to anywhere in town.

Didn’t know we were coming ,room was not very clean, very dated broken down furniture, shower drain backed up while showering.

The front desk clerks were pleasant.

The sheets, towels and toilet paper were drenched in scent. So much so that I broke out in a red rash and only stayed 1 night. When I checked out 2 days early was told I’d get a refund of 2 out of 4 days paid - I haven’t seen that refund, yet.

Carla, the Desk Clerk, is indispensible: bilingual, intelligent, kind, and a local with knowledge about everything. Re Barra de Navidad itself, I do not recommend visiting during Mexican holidays due to the crowding. Other than that, beach is very nice, food costs are very reasonable, drink ONLY sanitized water, and there are 10-25c US bus fares to nearby cities (Melaque and Cihuatlan). Currently my 26th season here and it just keeps getting better.

No negatives November through mid-April. HOWEVER, re the surf, examine the rhythm of the large waves unless you want smothered. The rhythm generally changes: a couple hi waves, a couple medium waves, a few minutes of calm, repeato. Trust me! $25 US 1-way taxi from Manzanillo airport, no mi gusto. Cheaper to taxi to Cihuatlann autobus estacion and take the local bus from there to Barra for 25c US. Fishing has been poor the past several years due to water temperatures.
