Avis Beach Hacienda Antigua Lodge

Mattias has a couple of houses that he has divided up into various separate units that are all attached. I required 1 bedroom with 2 beds. I booked a 1 bedroom with 2 beds. PAID for a 1 bedroom with 2 beds. Upon arrival I was presented 1 bedroom with 1 king size bed. I could hear other tenants talking from the other side of a kitchen door! The biggest problem is that he advertises EVERY SPACE WITH THE SAME PICTUTES!! And with similar names so it is impossible to determine which space you actually rented (want). BAIT & SWITCH. STEER CLEAR OF THIS. I walked away even after paying. Oh, and he requires payment to be in euros too. All credit cards charge additional fees for currency exchanges! I'm still pissed I got taken to the cleaners!!

I am a seasoned traveler who is used to the unexpected circumstances that often occur when traveling. I have traveled to Mexico alone without any problems but this trip was an exception. I write the following not as a complaint, yet more as a "heads up" for others. First, if renting a car to travel to El Cuyo, be sure to account for the insurance fee that is not included in the price of your rental (I was initially quoted five hundred dollars for the week and eventually quoted three hundred fifty dollars). Next, when heading to El Cuyo make sure you give yourself enough daylight for the journey. There are minimal signs on the way and then once your reach town there are no signs. Upon my arrival to the Hacienda, on New Year's Eve, my room was not ready. There apparently was some miscommunication re: my arrival date and I did not have clean linens/towels until the following day. Once settled, the place was fine yet a bit on the dark side. The property manager was friendly and helpful and the location was close to the beach and town center. A final recommendation is if you have a morning flight, you may want to consider spending the night in Cancun. Had I known this, I could have avoided having to pay for my final night at the Hacienda and a hotel room in Cancun. Lastly, be careful when driving to the airport as I was pulled over for speeding (which I was not) and threatened by two police officers. They essentially said, "Pay us now or we are bringing you to the station." As a teacher of Mexican students in the United States this final incident didn't leave me with the best parting memory.

We just fall in love with el cuyo Very surprise to see the calm and zen place Thank you very much

Perfection! Got all you need at a perfect location, allready planing on coming back!

Wir haben drei Wochen in El Cuyo verbracht und hatten eine tolle Zeit. Mit der Schlüsserübergabe hat alles wunderbar geklappt und die Hausverwalter vor Ort waren immer hilfsbereit und haben sich größte Mühe gegeben, um uns den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Auch der Kontakt vor der Reise hat super geklappt und wir haben alle Infos rechtzeitig erhalten. Wir würden die Lodge und E Cuyo immer weiterempfehlen und kommen auf jeden Fall wieder! :-)

The penthouse is incredible. It's beautiful and is fully equipped. Sitting on the balcony watching the ocean under palm trees, it was a little bit of paradise. El Cuyo is a great little Mexican town. Keep in mind most restaurants don't open till after 4pm, and groceries are purchased at the corner stores. I recommend picking up groceries in a major city before heading to El Cuyo, unless you want a rustic experience. Also the WIFI is unpredictable in town so make your arrangements for checking in and out well in advance because you may not have the ability on short notice ... Mattias is great to work with... we enjoyed our Mexican adventure very much !!
