    -Definitely a tourist trap. We got sucked in because they have the huge platters of seafood and…read moremeats. We had a huge party with us which is why we decided to have lunch there. The guys outside the restaurant really know how to hustle hard so people can come in. Included in our platters were complimentary drinks which was ok but, if you wanted to keep drinking you would have to pay for each of your drinks. -We got seated in the back because we had a large party. The restaurant does face the lake of Chapala which is very nice. Unfortunately, that is the only good thing about the restaurant. -For our complimentary drinks, we decided to get horchata. Probably one of the worst drinks I've had. It was so watered down I barely tasted the flavor. They gave us a platter of different salsas and sauces for our food and they were mediocre. Nothing was fresh and they looked like there were sitting out for a while or from previous past days or weeks. I was already not liking the restaurant and I was not expecting much from the food. -The platters came out and they looked great and they were presented nicely. Once we started to eat it was a different story. The seafood platter was mostly fried. We barely got served any seafood. The fish was fried too long and it was not as tasty as I was hoping it was going to be. It also came with a bowl of ceviche and it wasn't as great. The meat platter was okay as well. We got served chicken and beef fajitas but it was mostly bell peppers and protein here and there. Not worth it. It came with a bowl of guacamole and that was actually pretty decent which I was so surprised. They also brought us tortillas which were okay. -The waiters kept forgetting to bring us water and a second round of tortillas which we had to remind them a couple of times. I will never come back to this restaurant next time we visit Chapala. I would have rather had lunch from a vendor from the street than this restaurant.

    Customer service sucked. Didn't bring out drinks right away and brought out the wrong order. Server…read morewas very unprofessional, do not recommend this restaurant.

The floor flooded every time I showered. The shower handle sprayed water everywhere because the nut wasn't properly secured. Metal fixtures were rusted. The bathroom constantly smelled like urine because there are sewer drains in it. The elevator doors don't have sensors, so they slam shut on you. The on-site store looks like a food pantry. Room service is genuinely worse than airplane food. I ordered multiple items throughout the week to give it a fair shot, and some of it made frozen Costco pizza seem gourmet. On the last night, room service left a tray of dirty dishes and unfinished food outside my door overnight. A lemur was eating out of it. They also left an extra ironing board in the middle of my room. Laundry instructions were unclear: it said anything picked up before 11 a.m. would be returned by 6 p.m., but they didn't pick mine up until 3 p.m., even though I made it available at 9 a.m. Now I have to figure out how to get my laundry before checkout tomorrow. Also worth noting: getting here is not easy. This is definitely not Manzanillo. It's not near Manzanillo and not easily accessible unless you have a car--which, thankfully, I did. And honestly, the town of Manzanillo itself isn't very charming. Save your money and go to Puerto Vallarta or Cancún.
