I was a little frightened by the uneven reviews of this hotel and the rock-bottom price for our 5-night stay in Cancun, but was pleasantly surprised by the Hotel Sotavento (and Yacht Club).

We had three rooms between six of us, and each of them was totally fine. Sure, the beds were a little hard, the AC loud, and the TV controls a little testy, but the sheets and towels were clean, the hotel restaurant reasonably priced, and the shower pressure and temperature were awesome (better than my shower at home!).

The location was also perfect-- far enough away from the crazy strip of Hooters, Coco Bongo, and Senor Frog's, close to the city, directly across the street from the ferry to Isla Mujeres. I would much prefer to stay in a place like this than a chintzy all-inclusive resort, actually. We had a great vacation that totally stayed within my (meager) grad student budget. I would definitely recommend.

Me and my Girlfriend (Both 28), stayed at this hotel for one night only. The room was clean, but smelled really bad and the aircon was too noisy.

Breakfast buffet was disgusting and not worth trying.

I stayed there with my boyfriend. The room was big and clean, with a television.
The food was good.

It's really a nice and quiet place. I liked it there. In fact the hotel is a good half hour walk from the center of zona hotelera. So you should catch a cab perhaps. There is a lot goin' on in the evenings...

Just returned from a four night stay. The hotel is clean and well kept, It is not a hilton, but at $50us for two people and two beds, including breakfast buffet, it's a bargain. our room overlooked the pool and courtyard area. It had pleasant views and was very quiet. There were no additional charges added at checkout , as many of us have encountered over the years. This was my third stay over 15 years and i have always been pleased. It is not on the beach, but instead on the lagoon with yachts anchored by it. I stay here as it's a nice walk into the city [bus also boards on the main hotel zone street, about a block from the front door]. I will tell you that the breakfast buffet is the same everyday and gets kind of tiring. We didn't buy the all-inclusive plan, but did eat at the lunch buffet most days. At $8US, it had nice variety and was always very good. The staff always answered any questions we had, and while maybe not jolly, were always very accomidating. If you are looking for a comfortable, clean, bargain hotel in cancun THIS ONE HAS MY VOTE. Remember if you've not been to mexico before: you are not in downtown usa, and many of the locals speak no english or have limited use of it.

Nice location and Hotel looks "ok"...
But wait until you see your room and the food...!
The beds are the most uncomfortable we've ever slept on, as hard as rock...
There is no fridge, no mini bar, no hair dryer, no iron, simply no facilities in the room...
Also there is a small cage that you are suppose to use as a wardrobe...inside you will find a safe without lock, and to get a lock you must give a 100 US Dollars deposit!
Coming to the bathroom, good size but very smelly, and you get to shower in the dark as they haven fixed a light in the shower...
Also remember to let the hot water open at least a good five minutes before taking a shower...otherwise it will be cold!
Food now, we stayed on a bed and breakfast formula and breakfast was awfull... I had eggs the first day and ended up sick and throwing up my guts...
You will find few pastrys that look one week old and some orange juice which everything bnut orange juice...
Comes to service, no one speaks english exept the receptionist...
To resume never again !
