Hotel Eloisa - Near Playa de los Muertos

Limited options, staff not nice

I have stayed at Eloisa nearly every year the last 10 years for 10 days to 2 weeks each trip. My last trip 14 months ago I said, “never again”. But I’ve loved this old no frills hotel and decided to try once more (June 2025). Putting a fork in it. This will be the last time…sadly. Employees I’ve seen there every year over the last 10 years…all gone. New young employees don’t even make eye contact. Room I reserved (through hotels.com) did not match description. Admittedly, I didn’t complain because I was a solo traveler. Didn’t matter that I had a standard double bed rather than a king. Ceiling fan in every room? Not in mine. Blackout curtains…not exactly!! Icing on the cake was card/lock on room door quit working the last morning there before checkout. Told it was fixed. Didn’t leave room the last 2.5 hours before I checked out because I would have been locked out and didn’t trust “the fix” since Uber to airport was ordered, I needed to finalize packing and get a shower. A short visit to the rooftop pool was too risky to trust I’d get back in my room. When I approached front desk to check out with luggage in tow, I informed the employee the door lock was still not working. She wanted me to wait for maintenance to get into my room so housekeeping could get in and inventory the mediocre blankets, towels and whatever else they thought I might not be able to live without. My uber arrived and I walked away. Sorry Eloisa….you blew your last chance. Oh…and don’t forget the dead roaches inside and out the room. At least they were dead….

If you want to stay at a place that is walking distance to bars and restaurants then this is a pretty good place to stay. The only thing i didn't like was paying for guests to go to my room. Be mindful of your AC remote control and store it somewhere safe, because mine went missing and only hotel staff had access to my room. Also, if you are a light sleeper, then i would avoid staying in rooms facing the park. I don't know how the other rooms are with noise. Overall i enjoyed my stay here.

This hotel is a hidden gem!!! The perfect location to everything. The front desk staff are very accomodating, the property is absolutely spotless. The pools were very refreshing and the roof top area was breathtaking with beautiful views of the bay. I would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat.

The property was ok. The day staff was friendly and smiled. The night staff was the opposite. Never smiled ir even made eye contact. The visitor policy is not good if you have friends who want to stop by. They charge $20 per visitor

Bathroom had a strong smell of drainage all day that bathroom door must be closed all the times, and mosquitoes..

Other than being close to the beach, the hotel was very dirty, no microwave, no iron, no blow dryer and the batrooms were literally open to the outside, and we were lucky no critters got in. They wouldn't give us clean towels unless we had the room cleaned by the maid service, which we didn't want.

Great location. Close tot he beach and night life

I would have given 5 stars except for no WiFi in rooms. Each room has a cable box which turned out to be its own WiFi router with password in the router. Even so, signal was really bad. There is “passable” WiFi in common areas (8-20mbps). Besides this, location, amazing. Room, amazing. Staff, amazing.
