My wife and I stayed at the Maria Eugenia Christmas Eve.
We arrived for a one night stopover on the road to Zihuatanejo.
The Lonely Planet guide described a modern hotel and the pictures of the hotel I found on the Internet made it look spectacular! Unfortunately the photos must have been taken with Dubya was still hitting the sauce.
Unfortunately, if modern, it sure aged quickly. I would consider the Maria Eugenia to be a one star hotel, bordering on two star territory.
The rooms are very shabby and the kitchette and refrigerator looked to be about twenty years old. It would have been a good place to crash drunk but unfortunately Mexican beer seems to have lost its kick for me!
The night we stayed there the open air restaurant had a Xmas party with loud music until the early hours but that was not that much of a problem. We did eat there upon arrival and found the food to be mediocre.
The hotel is next to a shopping mall and only about 100 meters walk from the beach. It was only US$60, another plus.
