Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious with a wrap-around balcony that offered a lovely view of the patio. Having a queen bed instead of a double was a great touch. The service was impeccable, with efficient dry cleaning, housekeeping, and laundry services available. The location was a dream, directly on the beautiful beach in Boca Chica, and just a short walk to the best local restaurant you could imagine. The dining experience included fresh vegetables and was delightful. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly luxurious. However, the only downside was the price not fully matching the value for money.
The hotel is situated right on the beautiful Bocachica beach, offering a great location and proximity to the beach. The rooms are clean and comfortable with a queen bed. The service is excellent, and the staff is friendly. However, the dining options are limited, but the included breakfast is a plus. The hotel's facilities are well-maintained, making for a pleasant stay.
The hotel is located directly on the beautiful beach in Boca Chica, offering a stunning view and a lovely patio. The queen bed in the room added an extra level of comfort, but the surrounding area with abandoned buildings on both sides may not be visually appealing. The dining experience, although including fresh vegetables, was somewhat limited, and the price could have offered better value for money.
