I stayed in the Sotavento from March 3rd to March 11th 2007. I'm a study abroad student from Ireland, and me and some friends needed somewhere cheap to stay over spring break. We found Sotavento, and after some searching we found it used to be Aquasol, which had had really bad reviews. But the pictures looked nice so we changed it. We were so nervous because it was cheap, $16 a nite, and old reviews had been so bad. But when we got there we were delighted. It isn't right in the centre but there's a bus out front that runs up and down all night for 65cence. And there are other conveniences around it. The beach is a 10min walk away. The hotel is small and quiet, but has a nice pool, and little restaurant. The staff were friendly and willing to help where they could. The rooms were sufficient in size and most importantly clean! Maid service everyday. Only thing to note is that there is no elevators if this is important, and we had trouble with the toilets, but u jus have to hold down and not flush the paper, wasn't that much of a pain. Overall, we had a great stay, at a great price, definitelt recommend it! Cancun is great!
