Tanhuijo Reef

Amazing.

The staff are very friendly, and the beachside setting is lovely. Getting in can be tricky if you’re with a group or traveling by bus, since the only access is along the beach. It’s also a long way from the town center, with no food nearby, so bring your own water and snacks. Bring insect repellent too, the mosquitoes are very venomous.

The people who look after the hotel, clean it, and serve guests are friendly, though the owners are the opposite and unpleasant. The beach is right across the street, and there’s a very good restaurant next door, but the place is a little far from things. In our room, the bathroom was dirty and smelled bad, and yellowish, dirty water came out as soon as we turned on the tap. That was the bad part of the room. Prices start at 600 and go up to 950 depending on the room. Some rooms had a fan and Wi-Fi, but no TV, no trash can except in the bathroom, no air conditioning, and no mini-fridge.

The room wasn’t clean enough, smelled bad, and the sheets were dirty. The bathroom’s in poor shape, and the shower water smells bad too. For $600, you can find better options. The location is good, right on the beach, but that’s the only positive. There’s nowhere nearby to buy food or drinks.
