“Unwelcoming Staff”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

The room was clean and the grounds were well kept - that's where the good ends. When I arrived at 4:30 in the afternoon, the lights in the reception area were off and the receptionist greeted me with a "put out" look rather than a smile. She showed me to my room, but I had to go back downstairs to get the internet password. Not a big deal, but why isn't this info in the room or given to someone when they check in? When I asked her for the internet code she curtly told me I owed $30 more dollars for the room. I responded I was aware of my balance, but I was asking for the network password. Later that evening, when I returned with a to go order that did not include eating utensils, I went downstairs to the restaurant for a fork and knife. The staff was closing up when I walked in. I was asked "What do you want?" in a not-so-friendly tone and again, no smile. Now, I can over look the 2 out of 3 light bulbs in my room that did not work, the entire electrical socket that did not work and the crowing rooster that began at 3AM and continued until 11AM (not their fault but still a very big problem), but I cannot ignore inhospitable attitudes from hotel staff. I will never return to this hotel and I will not recommend it to any of my clients...I am a travel consultant for the Riviera Maya.

Dear TravelinGringa:
We all sincerely thanks you for the opportunity of being of service to you and deeply regret your experience in Posada El Moro. Our goal in Posada El Moro is to offer the best and nice experience to our clients in their vacations. As you can check in many other reviews from our clients we have a good record fulfilling those promises. We all in the hotel work very hard to accomplish this goal and will continue to improve our actions. Your observations and complains will help us to do so.
Again, I regret your experience and I will be sure that it will not happen to any of our clients and associates again.
On the good news, we bought the roster from our neighbor so there will be no more crowing.
Sincerely
Alejandro Morelos

“Charming but probably wouldn't stay there again”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Garden area very nice, quaint appearance. Our room had many negatives but a very comfortable sleep. Light switches schocked us twice, toilet seat would not stay up, no washcloths or cups for drinking water, bed comforter was at least 30 years old. Positive convenient location, pool, comfortable bed, good shower water flow and temperature Air conditioner did not work at all, fan a little tricky to figure out but it worked great. Very loud rooster next door so bring ear plugs. Friendly staff with limited English. Toast and fruit plate was breakfast with juice and coffee

Room Tip: 3 rd floor rooms were cooler, more secluded

Dear emandrobert:
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to be part of your vacation. We appreciate your comments and observations as well as regret the problems that you had during your staying. Nevertheless, your comments will not be ignored. An electrician has checked current and potential problems in our installations. We have changed the toilet seats, provided cups for water and replaced two air conditioners. The happy rooster has been removed along with his chicks to a better more spacious place (I do not mean heaven).
Thanks again for your observations and I hope that you can visit us another time to check these changes.
Sincerely,

Alejandro Morelos

“Safe, clean, with very helpful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We recently stayed one week at Posada el Moro and recommend it as a great hotel just one block off the main square of Puerto Morelos. It is not on the beach but does have a very clean small pool that is refreshing. This is not a luxurious hotel, but the cleanliness and friendly helpfulness of the staff make it very welcoming. We would stay here again..

Room Tip: We stayed in 33.

“Hotel Posada clean but..”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

Hotel simple and clean (posada = inn) with structure typically Mexican without elevator. Our room was on the second floor. The room was large without television or telephon but with wifi. The breakfast was minimal without croissants or any other kind of sweets . A little problem for me: at 4 am the roosters in the neighborhood start singing

“excellent hotel by the city square”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

Miguel is such a great host as is the rest of the staff. Nice quiet hotel few feet from restuarants, shops and the town square. Beach and main dock is a block away. Great rates and friendly atmosphere. Dive shop right in the hotel too.
I'll definitely stay here again.

Room Tip: Some rooms come with kitchenette. I didn't get one, because there are so many nice and inexpens...
