My girlfriend and I stayed there in March 2011 and it was very nice, the hotel was very clean and the view was perfect, we booked the cheapest room and got upgraded once we got there to a better room, with small kitchen, living room, separate bedroom and nice bathroom, the view from the balcony was nice, the only not too good thing is that it has no beach, you can walk to the a close rocky beach were people use to surf.. Very nice swimming pool, we enjoyed our stay there.. We rented a car which I think was a good decision since the hotel is not very close to the avenue and you will need to take a cab to go to the city.

Stayed here on a timeshare exchange March 4th-11th 2011.

Check in was easy. They tell you right up front that they clean the room once during your stay (They do bring towels and TP most days, however).

Resort was empty, I think people own down here and probably don't come very often. The pools were always clean. Both bars were generally setup but normally had no one at them. I felt bad for the bartender/cook. The drinks were normal priced but the food (tacos and omlettes) were way overpriced at $4 and $6.50 each respectively. The staff was very friendly though which made it better.

Everything was always clean, grounds crews were always working and keeping grass cut and watered.

Views were incredible of the arch and at sunset, there were constantly buses coming in and out with tourists to see the view. If you can make it up to Sunset Point or Sunset Da Mona Lisa at sunset, that is a must. Great staff.

There are two close beaches in walking distance. Monuments and....Cabo Bello? Monuments is rough and good for surfing/exploring. Cabo Bello is calmer but rocky and good for snorkeling. There are palapas there but you must BYOB and chairs/food/towels/everything.

Our only real complaints:

They use real keys to unlock the doors. If you lose them i'm sure there is a large fee. They only had 3 keys on the property for our room, and we had all 3. One night a small group came back and forgot a key and resorted to banging violently on our door to wake someone else up to let us in.

It isn't close to town and taxis in all of CSL are absolutely ridiculous. We bargained down to 200 pesos for 6 almost every time but they generally wanted $4 usd per person. The last few days we hiked the drive up to Hwy 1 and paid 8 pesos for the colectivo. That is roughly 60 cents folks. The colectivo passes Villa Serena and Cabo Bello then circles back towards down. Just tell them where you want to get off before you start to head north into downtown too far. This worked GREAT.

The Wifi only works in the reception area and is fairly slow.

We saw the prices for if we hadn't done an exchange and they were quite high for the location and level of service.

An entire case of bottled water was stolen from our room.

One day for about 16 hours we had no hot water.

The previous two were big for us.

My husband and I spend 2 weeks at Misiones in February. We rented 2 different condo's from owners from Vrbo. Both units were beautiful and well maintained with great views. It is a quiet resort with 2 pools and beautiful views of the arch and sunset. 2 miles from Wallmarts and about 3 miles from town. taxi's and buses reliable. Some great restaurants within walking distance and a fish truck that delivers fresh fish, lobster tails and shrimp on Friday's. Would stay there again.

This was our second stay at Misiones through a private VRBO.com owner. We brought our friends with us this time and had a fabulous time! We love Armando and Sylvia, bartenders at the main pool. Everyone is so nice, from local expats to other visiting families. A lot of improvements have been made from upgrading the pool restrooms to adding palapas on the private beach and the market is now open, nice to have when you don't want to deal with running in to town for water, etc. The grounds are beautiful and very well taken care of. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone that has done the crowded resort thing and is looking for something...different. Also, make sure you do the hike from Monuments Beach through the desert to Medano Beach. It is a beautiful hike with a couple of secluded beaches. Very cool!
