Expensive, but this is the case for all accommodation in Punta Allen. This is actually one the cheaper places.

Location, nice owner, …

It’s not their fault by any means, but while we were there the town generator was out of action and the solar batteries did not work properly meaning we had no electricity, air conditioning, hot water or ceiling fan for most or our stay. Given the challenges in Punta Allen regarding electricity supply you should be prepared for some things to be very basic, but it would have been good to at least have access to a fridge.

The bed was comfortable and the room large. There was a nice patio area overlooking the property’s garden where we could birdwatch. We decided to use the boat transfer to reach Punta Allen, which was an adventure in itself. If you don’t have a vehicle to drive yourself there Marta can give you the contact details and information on how to book the transfer. When we were there she also arranged for us to go on a boat trip along with some of her other guests.

No kitchen but she gave us plates, knife, forks..., the possibility to put drinks in her fridge... It was very nice.

Martha is very helpful and nice : informations before arriving, help to rent a bike, restaurants, tour organisation, welcoming coconut... No bunk bed in the dorm.

This is the place to go when you want to get away from the crowds. The owners are very very friendly and make you feel right at home. They provided us with lots of information, too.

the place has a bit of garbage lying around, but may just be because it is a house where a couple lives. the other thing that i disliked was the open windows to the street, people could technically look inside and at night there is a lot of light coming in.

the people were nice, the bed clean, one feels like a part of the family. they helped me get around, find good food and told me secret tips to find hidden spaces in the lagoon etc. they really did a good job to make me feel comfortable

Keep in mind that there isn’t always electricity on the island. They do have solar panels, but the airco is not always on. Overall i think Punta Allen is really expensive to find a hotel, so for us it was a bit overpriced but we loved our stay

Juan and martha are such lovely people! They gave us a lot of information about the island and were very kind. Room was very big with the best comfy bed we’ve slept in.

I stayed too short :-D

Location is great. The owner and his wife are very lovely, they take care of the guests and support them in organizing trips. Room was spacious and very clean.

Loved our room - it had a shaded balcony with a nice view. Marta and Juan were the perfect hosts. They were so helpful in planning our activities. Our visit would not have been as memorable without them!

Hot, noisy, and Smoky. The hotel borders one of the main roads in Punta Allen. ATVs and motorcycles race down the road from morning til night. Dogs bark a LOT, day and night. Since there is NO air conditioning, the room is noisy and very HOT.... And there is a LOT of burning going on, so smoke is frequently a problem. Also, be aware that food is more expensive here than in other small Mexican towns...and it's not as good. Also, be aware that the electricity is off for much of the day, so there are NO FANS during these outages.

Staff was helpful. Fishing was good.

The accommodation was average. However the coral reef is dead. It was like snorkeling in greawyard and you are supposed to be in sanctuary.

Stayed in January 2025

Only boat transportation leaves this area is 7am or so they said. We tried to get ready in the pitch dark ( no electricity at this time in the morning,, until 10am. ) no flashlight or anything given. Key didn't work going out the locked door of the property outside. No other way out so had to wake up owner to let us put. Almost late for boat leaving. Owner was nice, beds comfortable, limited a/c as was expected. Bring credit /debit cards to this area! ATM at Super convenience.

No food available here

The room cleaning per day never happened. The drainage in the bathroom was soaked, so the water level increase while you are using it. The toilet system had a little issue to work properly.

I like the welcome staff. They are kind, respectful and make yourself conscious about the place.

Bare bones unit-No soap, (on arrival ) only cold water in “kitchen “ sink, no drinking water provided (which has been standard in other places we stayed) no a/c- only fan- a/c unit in room but no remote provided. No cups for water. Hotel has limited electricity- discouraged light use when “off grid”

Great location beautiful garden shared patio good information from hosts

The downstairs room that we've got was bit damp and dark with no sitting area outside and privacy. So I strongly recommend to take the upstairs one. There is no control over air conditioning, so it being turned off and on by the hosts. It was turned off at midnight, although we've asked to keep it on so it made it difficult to sleep.

Boat trip organized by the hosts was very nice and I strongly recommend to take one, if you have a chance. Snorkeling at the reef was worth it and seeing the nature of the Sian Khan reserve from the boat was great. The room was clean and beds were comfortable.

There was hair in the shower. Not clean. And we missed an airco. For us an absolute must in this climate. The host gave us an extra fan. It helped a little bit.

The host and location was perfect. Quiet and a great experience. But you need to know to what kind of location you are going to. Be prepared! And the road is 3,5 hours (43 KM) by car of bumping road an unforgettable experience. The host helped us also with booking a boat trip. A must do if you are at Punta Allen.

We feel bad for leaving a negative review because we are sure that the owners are doing there best. However, we do feel like the following correctly reflects our genuine experience in Punta Allen. The windows in the room couldn’t be secured. An intruder could easily get in using a screwdriver to remove the mosquito net. Other than that we think that considering the price we paid and the road we had to drive to get there, we did not get the value we expected. There was no fridge in the room and for water, a basic coffee or anything else we were referred to restaurants or expensive convenience stores with limited options. I get that the owners want to support local businesses, but we expected these basic necessities. Also because the booking description said that breakfast was available at the property. Apart from that, the stay was fine, just not exceptional. A big contributor to why we left earlier (we stayed 2 nights instead of 4), is not the property, but Punta Allen itself. The area is beautiful, however, greatly spoiled with human trash which may or may not have been washed ashore. There was a lot of trash around the ‘virgin’ beaches, as well as the the forest roads. The ocean is eating away big parts of the beach and the road to get there is absolutely abysmal. We talked to locals and 5 years ago apparently the condition of the beach and nature was different and we felt like we just came too late. Again, the trash issue is not the fault of the property. Yet we do think that we cannot separate our evaluation of our stay from the area.

The room had a nice bed and shower. We also liked relaxing at the patio next to the room. The owners were friendly.

Juan and Marta are incredible hosts and wonderful people. Staying with them feels like being in a welcoming home. They work hard to maintain the property and ensure their guests have the best stay in Punta Allen.

Everything was great.

The hosts were the best. So helpful. Helped us with two bad tires. Got us out of town on time.

We paid 92 euros but a fair price would have been 40-50. Owners were not fair concerning excursion prices.

Room was big. Nice terrace and beautiful flowers in the garden

No comment. Everything was great.

Staff that run the place are absolutely lovely.. They are attentive, kind, and accommodating. If ever I visit Punta Allen again I'd definitely book at their hotel.
