Magic Blue Spa Boutique Hotel-Adult Only

“Beautiful pool and grounds, and a wonderful experience”

Having read through more reviews than I care to admit, I decided it was best to go in with an open mind, but be prepared for a possible let down. Thankfully I wasn’t disappointed, and was in fact pleasantly surprised by this property. Arriving rather late, we were warmly greeted and checked in quickly before we were shown to our room. Despite the heat outside, the air conditioning kept the room cool and it was a welcomed reprieve. It kept up through the entire trip, which was great given the near 40 degree weather during our stay. Our room was spacious and had more than enough storage for a weeks’ stay. The beds were very comfortable, and everything was clean. A couple of bottles of water were provided each day at no cost, and there was more available at a reasonable price. No noise issues due to thin walls was a great feature for light sleepers like myself. The rooms surround the lush oasis of the pool and bar. Quiet and relaxing at all times, though at night you can hear the party going on at the Coco Bongo. Loungers wrap around the pool and are quite comfortable. The staff continued to always be hospitable during our stay, and were happy to help any way they could. The mosquitoes were quite bad during our stay, but that is pretty standard for a humid place. Ants were definitely active, but never interfered or showed up in the room. Bring insect repellent and relax, the ants will not eat you. The attached restaurant, though tan independent of the hotel offered a wide array of breakfast options that never left you to go hungry. It was however a bit of a guessing game with some of the dishes, as there were no signs to tell you what you were loading your plate up with. Mexican influence reigned supreme so do not expect to see a mountain of shredded hash browns or piles of bacon, but there was more than enough to feed even the pickiest eaters. Yes, they do have cold cereals. All around, this was a solid stay and I would happily return again. Its central location just off of the main strip, proximity to the beach, great service and beautiful pool area make it a winner for me. Have reasonable expectations and you won’t be disappointed.

Hotel is very central to Avenido 5, with all the shops, and restaurants but once inside it is very quiet. The rooms are all set around the pool and the grounds are lovely. The beds are very very high but very comfortable. Strange layout which I think is maybe common to Mexico with the wash basin in the bedroom. The shower room has a shower and toilet, shower takes a while to heat up but is quite good once it has. Towels were changed everyday and room was cleaned every day, not sure how many times bedding was changed but seemed quite regular. The areas around the pool were very clean, the sunbeds were comfortable but looked a bit manky as bring material not easy to clean, so definitely need a towel to go over them. Breakfast is in the restaurant attached to the hotel so still within the grounds. Typically mexican food, a little bit confusing as no labels to know what anything was. However there was cereal, toast and omelette. You could also have jelly, salad, fruit, different types of meat dishes and vegetables so no shortage of choice. The staff were friendly and helpful. My only problem with the hotel was the manager and the mosquitos!!! Whilst we were there they decided to I assume treat the wood that the rooms are built from and two guys came in whilst everyone is sitting around the pool and starting blasting the rooms with something which sent out clouds of smoke and fumes there was no prior warning of this!!!! On a similar theme one of the rooms was being refurbished and the dust and fumes coming from it was extremely unpleasant, after asking for the door to be kept closed with no luck I reported it to the reception. The manager came out and spoke to the workmen, but said to us it was for their safety, she didn't seem to take into account they had masks on, but we didn't!

“Quiet, comfortable boutique hotel, however charged us excessive $ for old, worn pool towels that were taken from our pool chairs”

Quaint, adults only hotel with very comfortable beds, block from 5th Avenue...someone took our hotel pool towels from our pool chairs and we were charged $70.00 for them even though we were told we had the old towels that were not numbered. High price for old, very worn towels.
