Los Barriles Hotel Guide - ExotiKite Kiteboarding School hotels in Los Barriles, Mexico.

"Was a great stay, friendly and close to all amenities."

"Great location and the unit was wonderful!!"

"The location is amazing. Right on the beach. And that's what we were looking for. It accommodated our large group nicely. My only disappointment was the fact the overall place is tired and hasn't been updated. The dishwasher didn't work, the stove/oven needed to be lit with a lighter and we had a fireball explosion when lighting the oven, and we are very lucky the damage to my son wasn't worse. (His eyebrow was singed off) and lost the hair on one arm, but most importantly, it could have been worse. We also had an AC unit in one room that leaked so terribly, it flooded that side of the floor in one room. Some of twinkly lights outside did not function and the Spa/Hot tub did not work when we arrived. A technician came out to fix it but it never got very warm. So overall, the house feels like it's just not being tended to very closely. We had a great time, as we were there for a wedding so only used the kitchen one night. "

"We absolutely loved our stay at this Los Barriles casa. This was the perfect location. Beautiful accommodation with just one row of houses between us and the beach. Lots of views of the water from the beautiful patio. We have already booked our stay for next year!"

"Great locations and a nice place!"

"Yes"

"Beach and pool were both food amenities. Unit was clean though could use some minor repairs. We were disappointed that the unit did not include a washer and dryer as listed. Also there isn’t any fitness center. The owner said that the adjacent hotel did have exercise equipment, but when I inquired, I was told that only hotel guests were allowed to use the equipment and I was not permitted not even for an additional fee. "

"Firstly, I rarely review any business good or bad, but Hotel Palmas de Cortez was simply appalling. When checking in, the woman at the front desk would only cut us one key card for the room for 3 people. She said come back tomorrow if you want more. She was incredibly rude. When we got to the room, it was a dump. We had a Presidential suite and it was anything but! It was so run down and disgusting we went back to the front desk and asked for another room. We were subsequently shown room that was covered in more dust, had dead insects on the window sills, stunk of mold and didn't look as if it had been cleaned in months! We eventually stayed in the original room as we had no choice. We went out and bought cleaning products from the local supermarket and cleaned the room ourselves to where it was livable. Housekeeping only made the bed and folded the used towels. I deliberately left dust on one of the sofa arms to see if housekeeping would wipe it off during the 6 nights we were there - it was not! The overall hotel is tired and desperately in need of a facelift and someone who cares about the property. The restaurants on site were terrible however the staff at least were pleasant and helpful. The pool bar doesn't serve food - you have to get takeout! The gym was disgracefully filthy - couldn't use it! We've stayed at many properties in Mexico, some good, some bad, but nothing like this! The website portrays the hotel as something entirely different to reality. Stay away!"

"Excellent clean & well outfitteded flat in a friendly community. Everything we needed was close at hand."
