The room was run down and it was incredibly loud at night to the point that we couldn’t sleep because of drunk people yelling all night and motorbikes zipping down the street. But what really made us mad was the false advertising of the “daybeds” (lounge chairs” being reserved for hotel guests. They were absolutely NOT. We had to argue to get 2 chairs (they said no more were available and that had to wait for the cruise ship tourists us to leave to get some). Meanwhile, there was a whole stack of chairs available, they just didn’t want to set them up for us. We had to argue with them to get them and finally they gave us 2 half busted chairs. We would never return to this place or to Mahahual in general. We only went there for diving and found that the whole town is a total trash filled, overpriced bust. There are a million better places in Mexico, avoid this place at all costs unless you enjoy being ripped off and surrounded by a bunch of uncultured cruisers.

The view was nice. The room clean. The bathroom was not the best. Limited hot water and odd setup. The toilet getst wet every time you shower because it’s just open. Also it says there are laundry facilities but there are none. You have to walk a few blocks to a service that will wash for you and give it back to you in the afternoon. Staff was nice.

The staff at El Fuerte were definitely a highlight — very helpful, kind, and supportive throughout our stay. The rooms are a bit outdated, but they were clean and perfectly fine for what you’d expect at this level. There was a slight humid, musty smell at first, but it went away quickly once the AC was running. Overall, I’d rate it about 2.5 stars. Nothing fancy, but comfortable and pleasant — and I’d stay here again.
