Boca Chica-either you love it or hate it. A must see location for true beach lovers. We chose the Madejra Apartahotel a small European style hotel located at the epicenter of the entertainment and restaurant district. Managed by Domenico Bonanni it is squeaky clean, secure with a small cafe and bar on the first floor. The property fronts the beach. It has internet access, an elevator, room safes and laundry service. No pool. Sr. Bonnani is an attentive host and speaks at least four languages. Riff-raff are not allowed to hang out in the lobby or wander the halls. We paid $40 US per night off season. Be advised, it is not a quiet location with loud music from the next door Europa Hotel’s American Disco until early in the morning. If noise is an issue for you, request accommodations on the East or South sides of the building. For a $4 (or less) breakfast try the Toucan Cafe just around the corner on Avenida Duarte. The world's best hot dog can be had on the corner from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m... more
