El Faro Lighthouse Tours and Activities

Stayed at the hotel about 6-7 times and this time was definitely different. Was told by staff that hotel was recently purchased by a chain hotel and the changes were noticeable. There is less staff which meant longer wait times, less activities, animals on site are no longer allowed (iguanas, cats, birds) it feels very Americanized and missing the Mexico touch which is disappointing since we are traveling to Mexico to engage in the culture.

We have returned from 10 days with our two children at Los Coco’s. We have stayed at this resort 12 years ago and in the charming town of Guayabitos many times. We knew what to expect from this resort in that it’s a 3 star but we aren’t coming to Mexico for fancy frills. Our issue with the resort was the food. The quality and options have significantly declined since our visit a decade ago. To top it off myself and one of my children got what we thought was food poisoning during our stay. My daughter was assessed by the resort doctor which supported this. The resort didn’t offer anything in lieu of this unfortunate event other than a reservation at their A la carte restaurant which was not appealing in any way. Postives of our stay still did outweigh our bad experience with the food, the staff are friendly, attentive, many who speak an English. Our children had a great time in the pool, we enjoyed some of the on resort activities and games, and the beach. The town of Guayabitos has many great things to offer and we will be returning however would not pay for an all inclusive experience as the food and drinks aren’t appealing enough to “get your monies worth”

Great location right on the beach. It’s like a block away from a main avenue that has lots of stores and restaurants. There were 2 issues we had with this stay. The main issue was they didn’t give us the room that we paid for through Expedia. We paid for the sea view room and they gave us a partial sea view. Their explanation was that Expedia doesn’t list the rooms properly. We did agree to another room. They did not offer a refund for the price difference I paid for that room. 2nd issue was the brown blankets are thin and don’t cover the bed enough. The AC works extremely well you may need to keep it low.
