LunArena Barefoot Hotel

Small hotel close to beach (not waterfront and no sea view) in El Cuyo. Furthest north from downtown, about 15 mn walk. The hotel is poorly staffed and doesn’t have a soul. We were there over the holiday period and there was nothing festive about the experience. We stayed for 3 nights, the bar was open only the first night (at dusk till about 8pm, not sure if the restaurant actually offers dinner , that was unclear), there was zero service the following two nights, including on New Year’s Eve. Management had a party going on at a sister property about 7 minutes walk away, but that should not have have implied no service staff whatsoever at Lunarena from 5pm! The rooms are nice and spacious but beds are small doubles. We chose the hotel because there is a kite school on site, but in reality the kite school is not staffed every day.

My husband and me spent one night in this hotel. They told us they needed to do some maintenance, therefore there was no restaurant or bar. If we should know earlier we would never have booked this hotel for this price.

This hotel is not exactly on the beach but pretty close to it. The beach itself is amazing. The hotel not so much. But they have great customer service. The front desk clerk Laura speaks great English (rarely to be found around this place). She also helped to accommodate my disability, which was greatly appreciated by both me and my husband. Free breakfast included with the room was decent, although sometimes took a long wait to get. The hotel premises are beautiful but the rooms not so much. Some of them do not even have air conditioning. Overall, good experience but we expected more.

This is a hostal wanting to be a hotel. Views are nice, staff very friendly and willing to help, do the best they can. Room did not look like the one in the picture. Staff told me it was the best view so I've dropped the argument and went on. Views are indeed great, it is a ver calm place, ideal for couples or solo people looking to disconnect. It would be better rated as 2 star hotel. They did never changed or renewed soap. When it rained water rinsed into the room and the kitchen was like a little lake. Mosquito window worked poorly and dinner took 2 hours to be prepared since they ran out of gas to cook food. When they succeeded it was delicious. In resume, its a friendly place, in a super amazing place, one of the most beautiful and peaceful beaches in Mexico. Price might be cheaper, staff super friendly doing the best they can, and millions of mosquitos. Mosquito repelent and afterbite is a MUST since they, of course, do not sell them there

Attractive hotel close to the beach. The rooms were ok, although not very practical. There was a limited place to store items (no cupboards or closets), the kitchen had very limited equipment and utensils and the top floor bed was hanging from the ceiling which made it swinging and rather uncomfortable. The lower floor room had a solid bed which was a lot better. The staff was friendly and helpful, the breakfast rather limited.

We went for dinner and had a salad as a starter followed by fish with rice and vegetables. The place is nice and charming. While the salad was really good, the main course was really average. Since there is menu with prices, you get the expensive surprise at the end. Too bad - we will not go back.
