When I travel, I like a little bit of funk. Cancun doesn't offer much for funk, so this place, not in Cancun, in an older building, appealed to my sensibility.
First, the "hotel" DOES NOT offer airport pick-up as noted on the general description. It was a $76 can ride to get here, not too far from the airport. After dealing with the hassle and delay in the airport, pick-up would have been greatly appreciated. not having pick-up basically broke the economic choice I made in picking this place.
I chose two balcony rooms in the older house. One room was actually quite small, the other pretty enourmous. The large room did not have a chair, had one overhead light - no bedside lights. The plumbing retrofit in the building was awkard - the vanity hangs out over the sink, so you really have to bend down just to spit out your toothpaste. The balcony didn't offer much in the way of an amenity, and was actually accessible from another part of the hotel.
Poor water pressure, and no hot water. No in-room water for drinking, either.
As for eating. There is no food service on site. The pictures of family dining - don't know how that came off at all. It is next to Kaalau restaurant, which is perfectly fine except they were closed by the time we got there. We had breakfast there the next morning. For dinner, we were directed to Tacos Dani down the street, was clean and well lit.
They did call a cab for the bus station the next day.
Not a great choice.
