Hotels in El Zacatal

"I absolutely loved this resort. As someone who isn’t a big partier, I really appreciated the nightly entertainment and lack of clubs—it made for a fun but relaxing atmosphere. This location is close to many hot spots such as clubs downtown and riu SANTA FE. There are four different pools, and I never had trouble finding a lounger, which was a huge plus. Some pools are quieter than others, so it’s easy to pick the vibe you want. The food was phenomenal with lots of variety, and every restaurant we tried was delicious. The beach access is amazing—I spent most of my time there, and the servers were great at bringing drinks right to us. The staff overall were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond, especially Aldo at breakfast. The resort was very clean, and the views are stunning. You can see the famous arch and rock formations from the pools and beach, and we even spotted whales a few times. If you prefer a quieter stay, I’d suggest avoiding spring break due to late-night noise. They have photographers who walk around offering professional photos for great memories (Neid) was awesome. The local vendors are super sweet. This location is also just a beach walk away from the marina which was nice. If you are a beach walker this location is great for you! Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!"

"Wonderful staff !"

"Enjoyed our stay. Staff friendly and helpful. I recognized some of the staff from last visit 3 years ago. Room clean and everything worked. Beds FIRM. AC worked well. Water hot for showers everyday. Lots of repeat visitors, peoplewho have been coming here for years so that says something. This is an older place and lacks some of the fancy amenities. Pool is basic and shows a bit of wear. Lots of chairs and loungers on beach and around pool. Nice big umbrellas for shade. Easy to relax and watch for whales. Bring binoculars! Only thing I was disappointed in was food at the hotel. Beach food was pretty good but avoid the hamburger and fries. Stick with the Mexican food offered. The in house restaurant remains buffet style. Good breakfast items offered daily with omelets to order, etc. The quality of the lunch and dinner meals has suffered compared to previous visit. They served steaks on a few of the days and they were...um...pretty tough. I am not that picky honestly but the tough meat was the talk of the beach on the days it was served. I think I would stay here again but maybe go out for lunch and dinner. Lots of fabulous restaurants in a d around town."

"The staff was very friendly and helpful. Gabriel and Brissa were awesome! The location was beautiful and it was comfy. "

"Everything was great until these “spring break idiots” were trying to act tough with other same age people running up & down stairs hitting doors yelling violently threatening each other to come out & fight. Called front desk TWICE to send security before someone got hurt but NEVER saw security show up AT ALL. This place would’ve gotten an 9.5 out of 10 if it wasn’t for that incident. Really ruined my mood & killed the great vibes we had. "

"Todo súper bien! Sólo sería importante considerar los horarios que manejan para el huesped"
