Quinta Carrizalillo

No frills stay in a great location. Apartment is large and AC worked well. Towels were very old and stained, akin to rags. Get pool towels. Kitchen is ill equiped. Pillows are flat as pancakes and there are no blankets, only sheets. Great location near Playa Carrizalillo, shops and restaurants. Daytime staff not overly friendly, evening staff better. Pool was a perfect temperature. Not sure I'd stay here again.

We booked the larger room with cooking facilities which we did not use. They sell you a very large water jug for 50 pesos, great deal. The rooms are basic but clean. The bed was reasonable, the pillows were on the light side, I used 2 for sleeping. The showers had low water pressure. We stayed here 3 nights, it was noisy the first night, the other 2 quiet. The pool was a reasonable size, but mostly used by the families staying there, the rooftop patio was very nice. All the correspondence was in Spanish with no ability to translate. The hotel mainly caters to Mexicans with some non Mexicans staying there. It was very close to the Main Street and the restaurants and stores and one of the closest to the best beach in the area. The front desk is opened limited hours, the cleaning staff and maintenance crew were available before 3 pm. Reasonable place to stay.

The light fixtures need some dusting The kitchen utensils where old and no spices nor condiments were available, wished there were more, but overall the staff was so so nice. A fan in the bathroom would be helpful as well as it gets hot in there even when the windows are open.

When I checked in it was a little frustrating that the hotel staff could not speak a single word of English in a country and region where tourism is the main industry? The bathroom had a very strong unhealthy chemical odor. That disipated after a day or two with the windows open. The location of this property is very good with easy 5 min walking access to the best swimming beach. The room is a good size and there are screens on the windows. The staff, although not able to speak English are very supportive and friendly. The manager speaks good English but after talking to me once never bothered to follow up to see how things were going, even though I was staying for three weeks and expressed some concerns. Overall, I enjoyed staying at the hotel even though the bathroom shower tiles need some cleaning and grout refresh. The hot water supply was good and the kitchen had basic utensils. The AC worked and the TV and internet were workable with about 15 mbps.

Clean room and beautiful shaded pool.
