Clean, spacious, oceanfront view, good staff
We booked 2 weeks at the Mayan Princess. It is a clean, basic hotel & well situated in town. Spacious balcony - loved the hammock, but a lounger too would have been nice so we both had somewhere comfortable to sit out there. It’s a short walk south to better swimming areas. The staff was nice and helpful.
The kitchen was minimally stocked, no large bowls, cutting board, s&p shakers, storage containers etc. Maybe individual owners are responsible for outfitting their units, but a few more kitchen items would have been appreciated.
It is a noisy beach. A restaurant patio is close by. Intermittent construction, screaming kids play soccer until dark, barking dogs etc. Skip this place if you’re looking for quiet and relaxing.
The wifi is slow and drops out often. Black out drapes are desperately needed unless you can sleep with lights from the docks shining through your window all night and love waking up at the crack of dawn. We lasted all of 2 nights before we bought a curtain rod and black out panel for the opening between the kitchen and the bed.
Lastly, they do not provide multiple room keys. They give you the option of leaving your key at the front desk for the other person to pick up if they get back first.
Overall, we got what we paid for, but a few changes would have made our stay just a bit nicer. In the end we left 3 days early to go relax at a quieter property before heading home.
