Hotel Mercurio

Scary and Odd

Definitely one of the worst places I've ever stayed. The rooms are incredibly small - the one I stayed in was maybe half the size of a normal hotel room. The decor of the room was 1920's small town Mexico. The oddest part about this hotel is that they have public bar right in the middle of the place and all the rooms surround it. Of course this makes for a very noisy situation and most nights the partying didn't end until 12 or 1 in the morning. I would have been fine with the late night noise if it wasn't for the daily breakfast that started at 8 AM and sounded like a high school cafeteria. I'm still baffled at how much noise could be created by one small Mexican woman and a handful of guests. This place really needs to reconsider the noise factor and either get rid of breakfast or just do a continental breakfast in the lobby.

total dump

The good part: beautiful pool area that has a fun happy hour that starts at 3. The bad: everything else. We stayed for 3 nights (I wanted to move immediately, but nothing else was available locally for 3 consecutive nights). The room was a dump. It was like something from a horror movie. There are no phones in the rooms. The bed was hard and lumpy. The wireless nonexistent. The bathroom was the worst- it has an open vent that leads out into the hallway. This means you can hear everything that goes on in the hallway- and they can hear you in the bathroom! Walk down the hallway at 10am and hear everyone getting up and getting ready for the day! Also, the noise in this place is astounding. The bar opens up at 3 but the music keeps playing till 12am. Then, breakfast is at 8am. It's good- but the woman who prepares is bangs every dish she an find until about 11am. So if your try to go to sleep early- denied. If you try to sleep late- denied. Skip this dump. Stay in a private condo and stop over for the afternoon pool. You don't have to be staying here to use the amenity.

just like home

stayed here for 9 days and it was like staying at a friends house everyone was so outgoing and friendly the staff go way way out of there way to make you feel at home theres a happy hour daily with great drinks and even greater prices like 2 for 1 you meet with locals and visitors alike theres a small pool great to cool off on those hot days for guests or visitors to the bar every morning you get a fresh breakfast with meats eggs breads juices fruits coffee well worth it about a 5 minute walk to the local gay beach lots of stores internet cafe resturants near by gay bars are a quick 5-20 min walk and safe at all hours of the night will return

Hotel of choice

I have not been here yet, but will be staying at the Mercurio in October. The location, and price, and other reviews sold me.

"Extremely Comfortable Beds"

I rentd 2 rooms for a friend and myself at the Mercurio. We had a great check in and were taken to our A?C rooms with wonderful beds and tastfully decorated rooms. My room faced the pool below next to the bar and morning breakfast area (included in price). The staff is very friendly, rooms are clean and just an overall great experience to visit the other side f the mountain if only for a few days! Highly recommend
