Excelente lugar para descansar, la tención de Hugo e Ian es increíble, siempre muy atentos. Deja mucho que desear la cara y la actitud del señor Edgar, debería ser empático con los chicos que hacen lo que pueden cuando se junta la gente y en lugar de llamarles la atención se debería de poner a hacer algo. De ahí en adelante si regresamos. Lo recomiendo Cómo sugerencia hagan comidas y amplíen su menú. Los spaghettis deliciosos

De los mejores lugares para quedarte en villa rica, la verdad habitaciones super cómodas y prácticas con clima que sirve de mucho y tiene una alberca . Me encantó la atención y el servicio fue completamente agradable. El costo adecuado. Y un lugar muy tranquilo y familiar.

This Hostal is perfect location. Amazing hospitality. The owner Edgar is really friendly too. Rooms are super clean with beautiful views of the Mountain & sea views. I’d definitely recommend visiting Villa Rica as there’s so much history, it’s the 1st settlement of the Conquistadors “Hernan Cortes” landed in Mexico. There’s also an aroueqlógical site up in the mountains. It’s a small village with many richness, in history, culture & sea food to discover.

Ya hemos estado hospedados en este lugar en otras ocasiones, y se nota como han progresado y modificado, han tenido cambios para bien, eso es muy bueno, atentos y serviciales, como siempre, agua caliente todo el tiempo, wifi de calidad, que hoy día todos buscamos que lo haya, alberca y chapoteadero pequeños pero suficiente, desayunos y cenas, buen sabor y preparacion, el unico pero, es que esta un poco alejado de la playa, pero caminar produce salud, jajaja, bueno para quienes tienen posibilidades, la playa se encuetra a unos 300 mts. Abajo. Aun siguen haciendo algunas modificaciones y arreglos, mejorando el lugar, nos toco un poco de ruido el dia que nos retirabamos, pero nada más...( temprano ) para nosotros.

Me aloje ahí hace poco y puedo decir que el lugar está lindo y bastante accesible, tuvimos tema con el clima de la habitación pero el dueño dijo que hay problemas de luz en la zona y que suele fallar en ciertos horarios, pero como tal no es problema del hotel. En cuanto al servicio de restaurante siento que si les hace falta mejorar el sazón. Pero en general bien. Lo que me pareció bastante desagradable fue que aunque el hotel es pet friendly tenian un perro encadenado en la parte de abajo, particularmente considero que una crueldad y para nada lo apoyo, el pobre animalito se enredaba con la cadena, tenía poco espacio de movimiento hasta para dormir, su agua no estaba muy limpia y su espacio ya olía a orines. Para quien es amante de los animales para nada estamos de acuerdo con estas cosas. Ojalá puedan tomar cartas en el asunto porque quizá para algunas personas sea motivo de no regresar a sus instalaciones.

Super recomendable. El acceso es muy sencillo y fácil de ubicar ya que esta a pie de carretera y menos de 1 min esta la playa. Llegas caminando. Lugar muy tranquilo cómodo, habitaciones limpias con lo necesario para descansar. La comida del restaurante muy rica. Esta super para un fin de semana de descanso

Estaba lindo el lugar, la atención es excelente, Pero sus habitaciones tenían goteras y está peligroso subir a las habitaciones ya que las escaleras son estrechas.
