Clean and a beautiful location on the beach. Unfortunately, that's all this hotel has going for it.
They try to charge you for breakfast when it's listed as free on Hotels.com. When I tried to explain this, staff initially refused and I had to explain multiple times to get the free breakfast, which they claimed was an "exception" they made for me. If they don't want to provide free breakfast, fine, but don't include that on the hotel listing.
Overall, the ambiance is overshadowed by the rude staff. The food isn't great either, and it's overpriced. You're better off staying at one of the hotels near the center of El Cuco. I don't typically go out of my way to provide reviews, but I figured I should warn anyone else considering this hotel.
