I have actually stayed at the Hotel Anita two separate times, once in 1987 and again in 1992. I loved the place, my fondest memories -the old worn tile, the cheap prices, the large room with gorgeous worn mexican tile, the beds certainly lacked lustre (I don't quite know why some hotel managers just don't buy a new mattress??) My daughter thought the sheets were made of surgical gauge, not exactly 300 count- A litter of kittens hanging out outside of our room in the patio each evening, the servant that had (we think) a hand missing, lets hope it wasn't a cooking incident! Lovely ocean views! No central AC, just the old Casablanca fans whirling so loud they put you to sleep, very friendly people in the rooms, a pool that Never Had Any Water In IT!?? Artists living in the cheap rooms w/kitchettes. All in all, lots of old Mexico, non tourist charm. No Hyatt Regency BS.

We stayed at the Anita two nights. It was $30/night for 2 people, including taxes, with two double beds, fan and plenty of hot water. We had a private but small deck that overlooked the beach below. Towels were handed out at the front desk and we had daily cleaning service. The curtains were a mess and the bedding was tired but clean. Beds were OK. Anita is off the main drag and was fairly quiet. We could hear folks in other rooms loud and clear. The beach was a little trashy but swimmable and not crowded. Better rooms here than next door at Los Brilles and a few bucks cheaper.
