Having booked relatively last minute I was AMAZED by the quality of the fairly budget-priced Sina Suites: the rooms were enormous and the beds comfy, the staff were immensely courteous and helpful and the facilities of pool, restaraunt/conference room and little pool-side bar were all you could really ask for!

The location is just a 15 min leisurely stroll (3min bus journey) to the big party area of Cancun or in the opposite direction a 15min bus ride to the old town and the markets there. Either way the busses stop just at the top of the road both going and coming (though on the way to the old town you have to walk about 200m on the far side of the road to reach the stop...no real problem!). Theres a golf course right next door too if thats your game and it looked nicely maintained.

The area is very peaceful and the impression is of a real safe haven. Just around the corner is a trio of eateries which turn-out delicious local food and drinks and are open at the usual times with one, "Las Chicas Quesadillas" (although I think I've got the name horribly wrong) staying open pretty late if you need a snack. There is also an invaluable supermarket where you can get food to cook in the litle apartments at Sina Suites where the kitchens are well equipped (pots, pans, knives, forks...) and functional. There is also a little kiosk nearer to the Sina suites but its a little more pricey.

All in all I found everything I was looking for here and I would happily reccomend this as a spot for old and young, sightseer and partygoer: I think all could co-exist quite happily here as the size and layout of the place meant that I hardly saw or heard anyone else from the party I was travelling with all week, and there were 18 of us!

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

We chose this hotel to recover from the gruelling 36 hours of travel from New Zealand and relax we did. The grounds of Sina Suites are just magnificent and as we were the only guests for 2 of the 3 days we were there, this meant we had the beautiful pool to ourselves and were spoilt by the owner who dropped us into town on the second day. The breakfasts were lovely (included in the rate). However, we did really struggle with the bed - it was similar to a plank of wood (although this is a common theme as we travelled through Mexico so tended to get used to it) and whilst we did have air conditioning, it was like the sound of an aeroplane taking off (if you were standing on the runway) and it did prevent us from getting much sleep when it was on. There is a bus stop just at the end of the road so we didn't have a problem catching public transport and we enjoyed being based out of the Zona Hotelera - a much quieter spot. While Sina Suites did not have a restaurant, there was a lovely restaurant close by and they did amazing grilled fish!. All in all, the helpful service and lovely pool outweighed the hard beds and lack of sleep.

Small, squeaky clean suites hotel on the lagoon with friendly & super-helpful owners who run it themselves. Comfortable beds, hot showers with great water pressure & excellent security - its a little dated so if you want a resort or Hilton this isn´t for you - but if you just want somewhere clean & comfortable to stay where the owners go out of their way to help you´ll love it.
Walking distance to bus & old town restaurants - Hacienda is fun & steaks are good - and to Carlos & Charlies & the zona hotellera restaurants & bars if that´s your thing...

Booked hotel direct- lovely location over the lagoon- no kids there- nice atmospphere- reasonable prices- lovely owner and receptionist- upgraded up as it was our honeymoon

will be back
