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.

We stayed in the hotel for two nights and three days in December. The food was excellent and the rooms were very comfortable. For people who like to sleep in the curtains are very thick and no light gets in the room unless you want there to be. For such a nice place I found that the televisions were a little small, that the air conditioner was very loud, and that the pools were very cold even after there had been a full day of sun. Besides these three things I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Mocambo and would go back immediatly.

It is such a lovely place, the people are great, the view, the food..... all fantastic! Although some of the sparkle has faded, I can only imagine what it must have been like 50+ years ago.... but it is still quite charming! We had a fantastic time and will return!
