    It’s an older unheated pool so quite cold in February.

    We loved this hotel. The view from the room was spectacular. The room was renovated, beds were comfortable and very clean. The staff were all very friendly.

    Could have used a bit more toiletries e.g. conditioner, shower cap etc

    Beautiful views (like a postcard) spacious rooms. The location was a lovely neighbourhood, not too far from the Malecon. Lots of stairs and no elevators which was ok for us but not so good for someone with mobility issues.

    Found the pool a little chilly so used the hot tub more!

    Beautiful location steps down to a nice interesting beach. Also close to Concha’s Chinas beach. The hot tub on deck was excellent! Great views from balcony to view the bay & fireworks.

    Our room was a little outdated, so we paid to upgrade to a different one. The beach is lovely, but is mainly taken over by lawn chairs for the hotel next door. The marakoba only has a couple of chairs and you have to find staff to bring them down each day. It's not a deal breaker, but it would be much better if they had a little section set up for this hotel. I loved hearing the sound of the waves from our room. But I did find it a little bit noisy at this hotel since there are a lot of cars that speed by on the highway. Not a big deal, but if you're a light sleeper pack earplugs.

    Loved the location of this hotel. It's on the most gorgeous beach with perfectly clear warm water, protected by rocks so not too big of waves. Lovely restaurant on the beach which has an incredible menu and for very reasonable rates. The hotel staff at Markakoba are very friendly and personable. The rooms are large and spacious and it is LOVELY to hear the sound of the waves from your bedroom where the windows open.

    The room didn’t have a hair dryer, but I was able to borrow one from the reception.

    We loved the view from the room and the large balcony. The staff was always friendly and helpful. Having the restaurant below was very convenient, and an Oxxo 5 mins walking.

    The only thing they should work on is getting better priority on the beach. I asked to take some chairs from the neighboring hotel and I was told I could only use part of the beach. Perhaps some more chairs and umbrellas for the Marboka people

    Breakfast and dinners were very good. Location is great. Wonderful view of the ocean from the lovely balconies. Easy to catch a cab into the old town for a visit or dinner but we still felt somewhat secluded from the busy downtown.

    Quite expensive given the limited facilities at the hotel. There is one, smaller pool, with only a couple of lounge chairs, which seems to be it for facilities. There are no food services offered, no elevators, and no real beach access or palapas. The small beach area in front of the hotel is underwater at high tide, but is pretty much completely reserved for the residences next door anyways.

    Beautiful waterfront views from our balcony. Modern, well appointed room, with quiet, split air-conditioning. The tiled accent walls in the rooms are lovely. Friendly and helpful staff, from front-desk to cleaning and maintenance personnel.

    Lots of stairs up and down to access the beach and the street level. I feel like lots of luggage or mobility issues would rule this property out since there’s no elevator.

    The location is beautiful, there’s a wonderful restaurant nearby and the staff are very sweet and welcoming.

    Stairs only-not good for people that have walking issues. No elevators.

    Hotel is right on the beach. Small beach but does the job. Pool not heated and in a shady area till mid afternoon. Room was spacious and mattress was very comfy. Water pressure is good too. We would return due to location, $60 pesos to Zona.

    I can’t say that I disliked anything about the property I loved that it was open air and that there weren’t a lot of people there because there’s only a handful of sweets. A lot of locals were staying there, which I loved. The photos aren’t in proper order

    I liked the simplicity. The Mexican feel and style. The staff are devoted to your comfort and enjoyment. Top them well, they deserve everything. Carlos at the front desk is exceptional. The man bring you towels, drinks and beach chairs is a gem. Remember to bring LOTS of pesos for the TAXIS. No one is taking credit cards anymore. They refused to take your credit card. They will only take cash. Uber is 1/2 the price and is paid by credit card. Pesos for tip. They may take 10-15 minutes but worth it. FYI- Uber won’t pick you up from the botanical gardens. The front desk will book excursions for you and taxis. Our rooms were cleaned every day and we left a tip on the fridge for them every day There is filtered water on every floor, which is super convenient The hotel itself is like a boutique hotel, and open air to the spectacular view I’m not sure if every room has a view but I think they do It has a very nice balcony and the price range dictates how large your balcony is. Ours was the least expensive and it was perfect. It had a fridge, a cooktop, fresh towels and cleaning every day good size room with two queen beds. The restaurant la Playita excellent it’s an open air restaurant in the hotel that looks out over the entire bay where you can watch Wales and the boats go by the Diverse harvesting oysters and all the different birds it’s really spectacular. The food is absolutely wonderful and the menu is excellent as well We realize four days into our trip that you can walk down to Zona Romantica I think it’s 1.5 km and about a 15 maybe 20 minute walk the bus stop is right out front 10 pesos and about five minutes into town Enjoy We will definitely be back
