After a pleasant stay in February we returned in August. However things changed like the food which became much worse. But the real problem are the windows of the rooms that don't include glass. So every noice your neighbours make you hear easily. One night people arrived at 3 am in the morning and talking out loud next to our... more

The Sotavento Beach Resort is a lovely Mexican beach resort located directly on the beautiful Playa La Ropa. Our family booked two captain suites (air conditioned) and we were pleased with the accomodations. The balconies overlooking the ocean were welcoming and the rooms were sufficient to hold two adults and four young children comfortably. The staff was amicable and quick... more

We have just come back from a lovely stay at the Sotavento beach resort. After reading some of the more negative reviews we were apprehensive about our upcoming holiday. However upon arrival we were immediately greeted by friendly and helpful staff who tried their upmost to accomodate our wishes throughout our whole trip (despite our complete lack of spanish!). We... more

An over-professional website is not at all representative of the Sotavento Beach Resort. When we got there we discovered a somewhat dirty room without air conditioning or tv, and a bathroom with very little privacy. Hotel services were mediocre at best and the food was highly disagreeable. The included breakfast was disgusting, and the restaurant staff was generally rude and... more

I went, again, to vrbo.com to find a nice and cheap place to stay. There was a charming "ocean suite" for one to four (two beds, maybe) just on the seaside! Great Lie! The problem was that it was a hotel. A huge one. I like it and I hate it. I like it because it's built on the mountainside.... more

Stayed here with my wife in May for 1 night while driving through Mexico. Wanted to stay on the best neach at Zihuantanejo, and hadn't booked anything. So walked in here after decing a USD 200 offer next door for a small room not overlooking the ocean. This place charged roughly USD 90 for their biggest room including breakfast, USD... more

Just returned, and had a great time at the Sotavento. As noted in other reviews, this isn't an Americanized all inclusive resort. If you are expecting A/C, T.V. and windows, this isn't for you. If you like a clean cheap room, above the beach, with screen windows and a big ceiling fan and great view, try it out. Best bang... more

We just got back from our third stay at the Sotavento. Before we stayed in the oceania studios which are $85 with a view and breakfast and are still excellent value. However the first three nights, the room was not availabe and we stayed at the next price level which was $150.00. Almost double the price and pretty much the... more

The hotel is charming as it feels like a throwback to the 60s. The hotel is embedded into the cliffs and the beach below is quite beautiful. However, the hallway to our rooms smelled like a bathroom and our neighbors were up to 4 in the morning. There are no windows to close so it sounded like they talking (drunkenly)... more
