“Nice and clean with heated swimming pool”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 March 2011

person found this review helpful

We live in nearby Manzanillo, but wanted to take a couple of days to see Barra and Melaque. The owner/manager of Hotel Delfin was very helpful and kind, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the only drawback was there was no TV in the room. So, since we had been walking all day anyhow, we went to bed at 8:30. The rooms don't have private balconies, sort of a shared one that you walk down to your room door. It overlooks the pool and on the upper floors gives a view of the bay.

The swimming pool is heated by the same solar system as the hot water, and although it was not "warm", it was warm enough for me and I usually only swim in the summertime. This was in March. They have a nice little restaurant for breakfast, but it was not open on the day we were there. It's located one block from the bay and 1/2 block from the main street, easy walking distance to everything in town.

Overall, a very clean and comfortable and we would go back again.

“Great Value, quiet, nice pool, nice people, my favorite Hotel in Mexico.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 March 2011

person found this review helpful

I returned to this quaint, traditional, quiet Hotel in Barra after several years and it didn't dissapoint. This family owned little hideaway has wonderful english speaking management and staff, a great little breakfast buffet and a nice pool with comfortable lounge chairs, for less than $50.00 a night! There is plenty of hot water and the staff goes out of their way to help you. The other guests are pleasant and I would estimate that 90% have stayed at the Delfin before. Any concerns about security at this place are ridiculous. First of all, Barra itself is extremely safe. The Delfin employs a night watchman, which isn't really necessary, but it makes any guest feel more comfortable who might otherwise be concerned. The front door is locked at night but you get a key to that door with your room key and the watchman is sitting there anyway. For value in a traditional, quaint , quiet hideaway, this is my favorite hotel in Mexico. I speak the language and have traveled extensively in Mexico.

“Reminds Us of Staying at a Bed & Breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2011

Returned with my wife for the fourth time in nine years to "Barra" & Hotel Delfin. A family owned & run hotel built by Marta's mother and now run by her son Stefan & wife Claudia. It retains its charm & welcoming hospitality. New energy and upgrades are evident. The mix of Canadian, American, European & Mexican clientele is friendly and relaxed. Most stay for several days, a week, a month, or even longer. It's very easy to feel at home here. It's close to Barra's two main streets with many restaurants and shops within easy walking. Being a short distance from the beach, its much quieter at night when the ocean waves are heavy. Great breakfasts available on the deck.
