Staff is very helpful and friendly. We stayed in the cabanas on the beach, which are down a lot of steps. Beautiful spot beside the ocean which was away from the main part of the hotel, so felt secluded and very quiet (apart from the wonderful crashing surf sounds all night long). Very clean and comfortable.

Could use some hooks or a place to hang wet towels etc., and somewhere to store luggage or place it off the floor.

The hotel is an absolute beauty, with breathtaking view, scenic staircase leading down the beach and a comfortable ramp for the car leading to the same spot too. So peaceful and serene, social area on the top with hammocks and rocking chairs, garden area very well taken care of, AC working perfectly well, spacious, well decorated rooms, high quality towels and bed linen , complementary toiletries and even natural fiber bath sponges.

breakfast options were good. The beach down the hill is so nice - perfect for swimming and rarely many people there at all. Nice little shade palapas. Amazing Pina Coladas!

It was close to restaurants and the beach. The road to the hotel was paved and a nice drive

The only negative thing is it would be nice to have a fridge in the room but otherwise everything was excellent

The breakfast was delicious but they seem to be short of staff because the service was very slow. The location was beautiful but very far away from anything.

Just staff improvement for a faster service.

The location is great, right on the ocean. The buildings and the garden are beautiful . The rooms are tastefully decorated and the roof patio is great.

View was incredible, cute pool area and traveler vibes. The room was spacious and clean. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

There was just one option for an evening meal, no food served at the villas. Breakfast was a little slow but good :)

Excellent location, very friendly staff, perfect for a quiet stay.

The sewage system produces foul smells which come in through the bathroom, which is not separated from the room. Sometimes it was hard to sleep.

Cuatunalco beach is gorgeous, hardly any tourists. The hotel is compact and well laid out, staff is great. Wi-Fi is good.

Low water pressure, hot water almost nonexistent.
