La Máxima & LGBT

Nothing fancy, but pictures are accurate, it's literally in the middle of everything by the beach, and the staff were very nice and super accommodating. Their bar (La Maxima) is within the same complex and hosts the drag queen shows during the week, which seemed to be the main weeknight attraction. If you're looking for peace comfort and quiet maybe look elsewhere, but if you want to be by the beach, socialize easily but not break the bank, look no further.

Wifi was very shaky, but that seemed to be a thing in the entire region.

The location is excellent and the staff very friendly. The free breakfast was better than most.

They promote themselves as having room safes. When I checked in the safe was not working and I was given many reasons why not. I was led to believe that, once the owner came that evening with the proper key, I would have access to the safe. Nothing happened that evening. When I asked again the next morning I was told none of the safes were working due to rust and moisture. Zipolite has one ATM that I know of and it is often out of service. Many of the restaurants do not take credit cards or, if they do, the cards can not be processed due to slow Wi-Fi. If I were a thief there I would figure most guests are carrying a lot of cash or hiding it their rooms. The other thing to be aware of here is that this small hotel has a very bustling stage and a powerful sound system. Each of my three nights there the music went on (very loud) way past midnight. I enjoyed it while down watching whatever performance was going on. One night there was an excellent Drag Queen performance. But upstairs in my room the bass from the speakers was vibrating and very annoying. Bottom line: Don't stay if you like to go to bed early and/or a light sleeper. Overall I enjoyed the excitement from the crowds and the music downstairs but it is not for everyone.
