Had been years since I'd been to this hotel, almost 40 to be exact. The quality, the upkeep, the cleanliness still the same........I swear there used to be a BEACH there though and was very disappointed after such a long drive that there was NOT. Someone later said (after leaving at dawn the next day for KINO) it had something... More

This hotel has good food, although I was the only person eating in the restaurant or bar the two nights I was there. Not sure why. There is no gift shop which they need, with snacks and drinks we can take back to the room. Lots of channels on T.V. There are no deadbolt locks on the doors, the door... More

The Playa de Cortes in Guaymas, exico, is a hotel I have visisted perhaps 20or more times over the years. Built in the 1930's, this expansive and luxuriously landscaped property is a refreshing step back in time. The hospitality, ambience, food, service and sense of one-on-one attention are sadly lacking in most hotels, both modern and ancient, but The Playa... More

We stayed here for a wedding, wished I had not. My room was filthy and had cobwebs on the ceiling, the shower had no hot water, and the frig didn't chill properly. The hotel did not have nor would they provide cribs or high chairs for those with infants and small children. The view was beautiful, but the grounds and... More

If you like the charm of Mexico, you will enjoy this place. If you are into huge corporate mega resorts-stay away. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Grounds are very nice. Views of the Sea are awesome. There is a little bar and restaurant. The food was quite fine and prices in line. I always stop and stay whenever possible. The... More

We were driving from Vancouver to PV and needed an ocean break after driving from Nogales. We chose the Hotel Playa de Cortes because of its unique position on The Sea of Cortes. We got one of their premium rooms as you will see in in our photos. We loved the old Mexican charm of the hotel. Our room had... More

I enjoyed this hotel, but only by taking it in stride. The wife did not so much enjoy it. This is a 30+ or 50+ year old hotel that has had little maintenance in recent years. This should be considered a hotel catering to the Mexican clientelle, with their standards, not American standards like you will find in neighboring San... More

We were dissatisfied with several things. We feel that potential guests have the right to know so they don't feel the way we did after having arrived. We did our research prior to reserving, and we felt very comfortable about our hotel choice. However, upon arrival we realized that this was nowhere close to the descriptions we had read about....
