I’m pleased with the property facility and convenience location to the beach. Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable with facilities requirements. The only bad thing regarding this hotel is very loud at night as it’s right on the club and bar area of Zicatela Beach.

Hotel Surf Olas Altas provided a solid experience. Would stay again!! The location is 10/10– right across from Zicatela beach, with a gorgeous and HUGE pool, the hotel is perfectly centered between restaurants, activities and nightlife. The only complaint is the very loud nightclub across the street that kept us up some nights, but if you can’t beat them, join them, so go check out Xcaanda and dance! Otherwise, there are dozens of quality restaurants and bars to choose from within a 5 minute walk. You can’t swim in the ocean right here, but taxis are cheap and fast to other swim beaches. My only complaint about this hotel regards the hotel room itself. A little paint could go a long way in updating the accommodations. Feels a tad dingy. The safe and hair dryer didn’t work. Not a huge deal. No deadbolt/second lock on the door made me a little uneasy. TV was small and staticky. Don’t depend on it. My balcony had a great view of the pool and ocean and the showers are awesome!! Air conditioning worked perfectly and was necessary. Staff was super nice, friendly and helpful. Hotel itself is pretty, arguably the nicest-looking in the vicinity. We spent little to no time in the room during the day, so it didn’t matter much that it felt outdated.
