I stayed here for 3 nights in November, 2007. I was in town for a conference at the WTC and this place was a perfect location nearby. The breakfast buffet is a great deal and the food was tasty. If you don't want a buffet, there are many restaurants a short walk away.

It is a bit older, but there is something charming about it. I had a room as far away as you could get from the entrance!! However, it was quiet, clean and served its purpose. There were even a few stations on the TV in English and I was able to enjoy movies in the evenings. Bottled water was provided each day.

There is an outdoor and indoor pool, as well as a hot tub and sauna. Massages are also available. The beach in Veracruz just isn't that great in my opinion, but there's access if you're so inclined.

The prices aren't too bad and it's a charming place with a nice restaurant and bar. I would recommend it.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 days and were impressed by the romantic
vistas, traditional style, and even the food in the restaurant, which
is good and half the price of most hotel fair. If you get a room with
a view of the sea, you are better off. They are clean and neat if somewhat spartan. The staff is friendly but with some bureaucratic twitches that, combined with the frayed decor in places, might make you think you are in Havana. The pool could be in better shape, but the slide for young kids makes up for it. And there is a water park only steps away for kids who want even bigger slides. If your are lucky, there may be a wedding at the hotel and you can get free entertainment while you watch the lights in the harbour and enjoy the soft gulf breeze. And there is cable TV for the kids (in Spanish)
who have doubtless enjoyed the acuario and forts earlier in the day. The beach in front of the hotel isn't worth much, but take a boat ride to the reefs from the Malecon in town (90 pesos) and you will be shocked to have crystal clear water for swimming and snorkling only 10 minutes from the beach. The Mocamobo isn't for those who want 5 star luxury, but it a unique and pleasurable experience and romantic, even with kids.

We stayed in this hotel from Feb. 4th - 7th, 2006. We will stay again only if the other option we have is to stay in the streets.

The hotel has not been taken care of for many years, there is mildew all over the place, food was not good, waitress did not give good service, lack of Management, staff is not trained as to give a good service, rooms poorly decorated and taken care of, dirty all over, mades were like hitting on staff there level, almost like making out... outside our room and we heard what they said to each other, we felt as homeless asking for bed and food. The whole Hotel including pools, gym, SPA, Restaurants, Reception have not been painted for years. The Hotel might have been pretty once but today its a disaster. Thank god we only had to sleep there, so we would get there late at night and leave early in in the morning.

I send this review because even though I did not make my reservation through you, I did get the idea in this page and called directly, because we decide to go tight away. I got to see other rooms, and they were all the same. A MESS!!!
I've attached the only picture I have that Im not on htem, the other ones I appear on them.

Thank you.

When we arrived at Hotel Mocambo after an all night bus ride, our room was ready and waiting and the front desk promptly checked us in and had a bellman escort us to our room as dawn was breaking. A gorgeous sunrise view was our reward, along with black out curtains that let our sleep deprived bodies happy! Each morning, room service delivered great coffee for which the region is known and fresh orange juice in record time, according to US standards. For two days we strolled the lovely grounds, soaked in one of two pools in the Roman-style spa, took saunas, had a foot massage and wandered the beach in front of our hotel. Staff were extremely efficient and exchanged money, provided maps, directions, tips, etc. and even found a rental car for under $50 per day (wehich was no easy feat where commerce and tourism mingle in the pretty port city. ) Buses ran directly in front of the hotel to and from downtown, the malecon (oceanfront boulevard) and the fun-filled zocalo (the main town square). All in all - a great mid-sized hotel in an ideal location and perfect for couiples, famiy vacations (lots of children's areas and programs) and special events like weddings or corporate gatherings. Highly recommended.
