“Great Location & Good Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

Best value on Sandy Beach. The rooms are not luxurious, but they are clean and the beds are comfortable. The 2 swimming pools are clean and newly tiled. The hot tub is great. They are located on a great section of Sandy Beach. The restaurant adjacent to the hotel has a wonderful happy hour and good food. No need to leave the premises after dark. They have secure parking. I would avoid the hotel during Spring Break if you like peace & quiet, though!

“Nice restaurante, beach, not so nice room!!!!!!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2011

This hotel was rated two stars in our AAA travel guide! Not so! Not so clean room! Complained about all the noise in the middle of the night! The clerk at the desk could care less! I don't think we will stay there again!
Twisted in San Felipe!

Room Tip: Ask to see the room before booking it!

“FORGET THE NEGATIVE PRESS, ROCKY POINT/PLAYA BONITA ROCKS!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2010

My wife and I have been going to the playa bonita for the past 10 years and, never had any problems driving to or from rocky point. The staff were courteous and professional, we had no problems with the room we reserved, the restuarant at the hotel is excellent, waiters were nice, although they could stock up on heineken beer ;-) the music was good, not too crowded, water was clean unlike the beaches here in california. We purchased some souvenirs in town and of course on the beach, the only complaint is I wish they would place trash cans on the beach so the people can throw their empty beer bottles away instead of leaving them on the beach. Overall we had a wonderful time and look forward to returning again.

“Mexican Luxury is not the Same”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2010

After having been exposed to American craftsmanship, and European Craftsmanship, this hotel exposes it's flaws in all it's glory.

The stairs are uneven, the elevator is frightening, there are measurement flaws throughout the hotel, in everything from the tile on the floor to the angles in the corner, the shower was at a bizarre angles, everything was just off in such a way as to make me wonder about the structural stability of the multi-level hotel. We were on the 3rd floor, and it was interesting, at best.

I've stayed in other hotels in Rocky Point, and this one had the worst carpentry of the bunch, by far.

Other than that, the hotel was OK.

“UPGRADE, UPGRADE, UPGRADE”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 March 2010
1
person found this review helpful

The location of the hotel is great, right on the beach. The food at the restaurant is excellent and the staff is friendly. But the hotel room . . . is in immediate need to be upgraded! The safety lock on the door was broken and the dead bolt did not work! The plastic chairs in the room were full of holes and the paint was peeling off. The plaster was pulling away from the baseboards and more attention needed to be given to cleanliness. The TV is very out-dated and a little package of Kleenex was on the table as was a bottle of water. The shower head was "plugged up" and water went everywhere when turned on. There were no shower mats to step on after showering. The towels were very thin (and scarce) and smelled heavily of soap. More detail needs to be given to cleanliness in the bathroom; the tile in the bathroom was pulling up from the floor and and the tile in general needs immediate attention throughout the room! There was no lighting or lamp on the bedside tables and the sink area needs larger watt lightbulbs (I believe these were 40w)! Very dingy and musty smelling. Overall, the outside patio area by the restaurant is great for sitting and enjoying the beach and having Margaritas! The waiters are friendly and the chips and salsa are very good. If this hotel would show a little more interest in updating their facility, I'm sure they would have a much more favorable rating. The reviews I've read are not good at all!
