Hacienda Antigua Villa, 50m from sandy Beach

A superb location, the local staff was incredibly attentive.

Cockroaches, no window screens on the living room forcing us to keep windows shut where there is no air conditioning, the bathroom screen fell on one of the kids head, rusted kitchen appliances, the fridge is falling in pieces, we were the only house on the block to have a power outage (we could hear the neighbors water pumps working and even went for coffee 3 doors down, the two extra bed had cushions for pillows (no proper pillows), the bathroom odor backs up smelling of sewage. We have asked for the proper invoice as per Mexican accounting principles for over a month now and still have not yet received it. Due to the location, and price it is easy to fall for this place, but it is not a good stay even considering the price range and location. I did send a private message to the property before publishing this review, but did not hear back from them.

Perfect location, right by the beach. Super friendly host! House as a kitchen and nice terrasse, great for cooking and chilling at the house!

Shower does not have much pressure. Beds were clean but the rest of the place could have bin cleaned a little more.

Good location, close to the beach and center. WiFi conection is also very good. I can recomment this Hacienda. It is big enaugh for 4 people

It was large

There are much nicer places in El Cuyo, for waaay less money. This place needs a serious updating from the 60’s. The caretaker doesn’t speak or understand a word of English… and when messaged, I often would get “ no comprende inglés”. Not very helpful, considering I had to message often for issues with the place. When we arrived, we had to find wifi to message the caretaker to meet us… took over 1.5 hrs to get her there. There is NO 24hr front desk.. as mentioned on the site. She wanted 1800mxnfor a deposit, but had no change to give me back , so it was 2000. The booking add said $90 , but it also said 24/hr front desk service, and took a credit card. So be prepared to have cash. When we arrived, I was then shown a photo of the rules (which had a different hotel name) and that we should treat this as an Abnb… totally a “bait and switch”. It is no where near an Abnb status. We only had hot water for the first 4 days out of 9. I messaged her every day about it. The caretaker came over, looked, (but had to wait for the guy living in the back to come home) (because it’s in his area) and then I didn’t hear anything back from them. The shower tap was leaking 24/7. We only had 1/2 bottle of water in the kitchen. The microwave is unsafe, and when plugged in makes “snap crackling” noises without being used. There are only 2 small elements working on the stove. We ran out of propane on the 3rd day of being there.There is absolutely no salt/pepper/sugar etc… like any other place we’ve stayed at. We were given the garbage bag that was in the bin on arrival, and I was told I needed to buy more if I needed any.. we were only there 9 days… I was not buying a package of 25 garbage bags! I had to ask where to put the garbage, as there’s no bin outside… so I was told to leave it on the ground by the BBQ. There is only an A/C in the bedroom, and a fan in the living room.

Did not like this property because it was misrepresented in the Booking.com ad.

Ad was deceptive. It showed a photo of property sitting directly on a sand beach. However this is another property that owner lists on Booking.com. The offered property was not on a sand beach as in the photo. It was across a street. Additionally, the property was not clean, poorly stocked, and certainly not an ambiance of a beach property. Property was also very hard to find. It had a sign tucked away ant not visible from the street. No name or even house number could be seen from the road.

We stayed in Hacienda El Cuyo and could not have been happier. The house is truly beautiful and comfortable.

The house is very close to the beach, has all facilities that you can think off, Magali and her husband are very friendly and helpful contact persons, nice atmosphere, very clean

An outdoor shower to wash off the sand from the beach would be a nice addition
