Reviews and Ratings
I couldn't ask for a better stay! The hotel had a perfect location, right in the heart of everything, making it so convenient for exploring the downtown area. The rooms were just what we needed, with two balconies to enjoy the views and plenty of space to unpack our suitcases. The service was exceptional, from the super helpful front desk staff to the efficient housekeepers, although a small incident with towels put a damper on things. Dining was a delight, with good food served in a pleasant setting. Overall, a fantastic experience with minor hiccups here and there.
The hotel is conveniently located just a short walk from the main square, beach, and restaurants. The rooms, although facing the street, were clean and comfortable, but they could have been slightly bigger. The service was a mix of awful experiences like accusing guests of theft and great features like various convenient amenities. The dining experience was good overall, offering pleasant settings and quality meals.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were nice and clean, but the layout was a bit odd with the washroom and shower in the main living area, which sometimes had a faint sewer smell. On the bright side, the rooms were comfortable and reasonably priced. The service was exceptional, with extremely helpful and attentive staff offering various amenities like room service and tours. The location was great near the boardwalk and beach, providing easy access to everything needed. However, the dining experience was disappointing, though the setting was pleasant.
The hotel was a great find! The rooms could have been slightly bigger, but they were very comfortable. The air conditioning worked wonderfully, and booking through Trivago and then Expedia was smooth. The service was excellent, and having a good restaurant on the property was a big plus. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the main square, beach, and restaurants. The hotel is right across from the Malecon, making transportation very convenient. The dining experience was a letdown, but the facilities were up to par.
The hotel has a great location right next to the Malecon, with soundproof rooms that are clean, equipped with AC, and maintain a working shower and toilets throughout the day, although water quality could be better. The service is exceptional with kind and friendly staff members, including long-term employees like Ulysees, Carmen, Guadalupe, and Eduardo. The location is very convenient, near good restaurants and the Malecon, making it a standout feature despite some issues with water quality. The dining experience is pleasant, especially in the restaurant setting on the Malecon. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor improvements needed.
After two difficult nights, I found the hotel to be comfortable with a king-size bed and a balcony, great for transit stays. The service at Coexist was amazing, with excellent food and a very friendly and informative staff. The location couldn't be better, very close to Malecon and Rio in El Centro, perfect for exploring. While the dining experience was not included, the facilities were top-notch.
