Our stay at La Posada was exactly as we had hoped; relaxing, beautiful and within our budget! The rooms do vary, and we ended up changing from the standard upstairs room with a balcony because the balcony had no table or chairs and there was no table in the room. But, for just $20 more, we switched to a huge room that had a full kitchen and a larger balcony, more private, and just what we wanted, with both airconditioning, which we actually used in August, and a ceiling fan. The breakfasts, included with the room, were enormous and delicious. The one disappointing feature was that the restaurant was NOT open for dinner so we were forced to either make our own, or find another restaurant, and unfortunately, there were none in walking distance. Apparently most people take taxis to other parts of town for dinner (for about $5 each way) but we prefer walking. The first night, when we arrived with no pesos, we thought we'd be able to dine at the hotel, and instead, we walked about a mile to the only place they could suggest, and dinner was $42 with a credit card, which is WAY out of our usual budget for casual dining on a Mexican beach. Every morning, we did either jog or take long walks on the beach, which was wonderful. The main port of the city is quite close, so watching enormous cargo ships pull in nearby was a passtime, also. The owners are friendly and very helpful and the whole stay there was just lovely, for the price.

We had a wonderful stay at La Posada. We thoroughly enjoyed the lack of fast paced activities. The staff was great. We really felt like we were at home. The other guests became like family!
The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The pool was very clean and refreshing.
Juans sister ,Clara, was especially accomodating. And Juan was willing to come all the way back to the hotel because I had a question, even though he was already out and about running errands.
We also enjoyed Antonios Restaurant which the hotel recommended.

Hotel La Posada is a small hotel with the basics. We stayed there with our teen and 8 year old. Our room was nice: 2 double beds and a bathroom with shower and small vanity area. Keep the air on if you travel june-july. It's hot and humid. bring bug spray. As in many tropical areas, there are bugs inside and out. We stayed 10 days and loved having no contact with the outside world (i.e., no tv, no phone). You can use the internet in the office for a small fee. Cantina is nice. Drinks (beer, sodas) are on the honor system but we ended up having a small fridge in our room because they were not very cold despite the ice in the large cooler. You can have staff make you some pretty decent drinks. We enjoyed the Navy excercising on the beach on tuesday and thursday from 7a-8a. The pool is very nice and very quiet. We stayed for 10 days and at one point were the only family there. We felt the morning staff was not very attentive or friendly. We loved Mida (Mayda??) who was usually there in the afternoon. She is a sweetheart. There are tours posted that she can arrange for you tho a bit pricey: party of 4 for 3hours of ATV waws $190 and a day of travel to El Salto by car was $160. You can check out others on the web and call from the hotel or have staff do it for you. If you like to relax and have quiet time, this is the place. As for other posts of the cleanliness of the beach, it had trash but also had interesting jellyfish, blowfish, and eels that washed up. You get to see awesome boats in the morning and afternoon and watch the locals fish. We miss it already and left just yesterday! I will attach photos soon

All in all we enjoyed it very much. Very peaceful, relaxing, great breakfasts, friendly staff. But...very annoying, disrupting noise all the time from the condos next door. And the beach was filled with litter, including a dead goat! Nice for retirees, older travelers, not much to do for kids.
