Hotel La Concha Beach Resort

“Good Hotel, but a car is a must”

The place is great to rest, with nice outdoors and beach; but you will need a car to move you to the down town or to eat outside. The rooms have window and balcony to the interior gardens, and if your room is in first or second floor the sea and the beach can be seen.

“Great beach, good food, staff, and beverage but hotel could improve.”

This hotel is bargain priced so I should not have been so disappointed. First, the good.

This hotel is bargain priced so I should not have been so disappointed. First, the good. We were there Thanksgiving week which also in 2023 coincided with Mexican Veterans Day making it a three day weekend for Mexico. Consequently we shared the hotel and the wonderful beach and cabanas over the weekend before Turkey day with a lot of delightful younger Mexican family tourists which, if you speak some Spanish, even if you don't because many of them speak English, was delightful. The place was busy, and fun. But they all left that Monday evening and we were one of just a few folks, mostly Americans, left. Consequently the service which was already good became very good. The food was very good as well. But flies will be a constant bother. Staff brings out a can of sterno with some twigs, kind of worked. In the evenings, the evening menu did get a bit redundant after a few days, literally a three minute walk away is an awesome restaurant named Seaside whos' prices are comparable to the US but sooo worth it; very good food and beverage. Back to the Concha. We were in room 117 which is called a suite and is supposed to sleep four. It has two bathrooms and showers and a king bed. The second couple apparently is supposed to share a fold down hard as a rock fold-out leather couch. Which is terribly hard and has stuffing coming out. The bed is very comfortable. There is no dresser or any place to unpack ones non hanging clothing. Seriously, you must work out of your suitcase. There is a kitchenette with stove and microwave for those who wish to cook. The counter top has been used as a cutting board. By many people. The bathroom floors feature hair balls in the corners and along the baseboards which cannot be picked up as they are embedded in floor wax. The safe does not work. There are open fixtures, no cover plates. The circuit breaker box is easy to find, it has no cover. There is no need to worry about napkins or keeping the small dining table and chairs clean as they have already been well soiled. The front door requires some gymnastics until you learn how to deal with two door knobs both of which work and must be turned in unison to open the door. (I guess the dead bolt broke so they just installed a second door knob?) The beach and pool are nice with good swimming and awesome sunsets. I will go back because it is one of the few places with a decent beach and parking. I am sure things will get better, I hope so anyway.
