Not worth the money we paid
Run down hotel; it needs to be refurbished. Not worth the Money we paid… hint: for beakfast go to the Main Square / jardín central in Ajijic. There you can enjoy rich Mexican breakfast in any of the local restaurants at a fraction of the hotel price.

Very nice old school resort located in a quiet area of Aciiji on Lake Chapala. Great view of the lake. Two clean swimming pools. Two neighborhoods in opposite directions to explore each with a plaza and one with a Malecon. Meals at the hotel took quite a while to get after ordering but that was the only downside. Return trip to the airport only took a half an hour. Made contact with the taxi driver the evening before departure at the Plaza and he was at the hotel right on time...only $37.00 U.S. to the terminal.

If you want to celebrate something special, this is the place to be or if you want to have a great time, it is peaceful with great dining option and great bar. The grounds are well kept and very nice and it is in front of lake Chapala … close to Chapala center to go for a walk … highly recommended

Tengo años que voy a ese hotel,todo era perfecto,pero esta ocacion el agua estaba fria de la regadera de el cuarto,les dije y no hicieron nada,mis 2 hijos con el azulejo de la alberca se cortaron habia cucaracha en el baño ,las toallas hacian la limpieza y no las dejaban ,hasta despues,si quieres algo de cenar no contestan el room service,esta vez no me gusto tambien fui a comer y nadie se paro te dejan esperando y mejor opcion ir afuera de el hotel a comer.habitacion 120 me toco .
