This hotel was great!…read more
It is situated in an ideal location in the hotel zone. This is a budget hotel amongst the pricier places. I've attached pictures to show the inside of the room I stayed in.
The room overlooks the alligator lake, which I found it to be nice. Don't worry, no alligators will come after you. But, if you're lucky enough you might be able to spot a few here and there.
The room had a kitchenette (full oven/fridge), a decent size bathroom, a dining area in the first part of the room. As you walk to the second section of the room, you find the bed, bay windows, couple chairs and a table. Also there was a sofa bed.
The bed is ok, good enough for a nights rest after walking the beach. The hotel is situated right next to shops restaurants, bars and everything else. COCO BONGO is a five minute walk away.
Before I forget, there is plenty of dishes in the kitchen in case you felt the need to cook.
This place is amazing because it's literally across the street from CHEDRAUI SELECTO (upscale walmart). You want to stop here to stock up on goodies and souvenirs before heading back home. You have dollar beers, wine coolers, and other alcoholic drinks.
They sell everything you need here! DO NOT AND I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY SOUVENIRS anywhere else as they are all the same out on the street only the markup is 3/4 times more then this store. So save yourself money and buy whatever you need here.
Before heading out to Cancun I too, did some reading and ended up visiting the MERCADO 28 (market28). DO NOT GO HERE! This place used to once be a locals open air market and now it has turned into a market for tourists only. EVERYTHING here is overpriced, even the food! DO NOT GO HERE.
Now to the good parts of the trip... You can visit PLAYA MARLIN, to enjoy a day at the beach. Once there you can rent your own umbrella and chairs for $200/300 for the whole day. You will enjoy crystal clear blue beaches there.
You can take the R1 bus anywhere in the hotel zone for $10 pesos (.50american cents) one way.
