“Great place---but neighborhood is busy”

Hotel La Posada

18 Jan 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

The La Posada is a sweet little hotel right on the beach. Nice large rooms, clean & comfortable. Loved the dining hall that was open to the beach. Good breakfast (free) and good lunches. The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome and comfortable. We stayed for 4 nights in January. The beach is lined with small hotels, restaurants and homes. No big resorts there. Some decent restaurants. La Posada is in a less commercial area than much of the bay beach resort area, which has lots of traffic and nightlife. The biggest drawback and dissapointment in this beach area is that it is near Manzanillo and a big oil fueled power plant that dumped pollution into the air. Some days it was so thick you could hardly see across the bay. And, the lights of Manzanillo let you know you are not on a remote beach by any means. This hotel is near the city port area. It was kinda fun to see the big cargo ships enter and leave the port---after we adjusted to being in a more "urban" area than we thought. The location of the La Posada did give us a good base to visit areas up and down the coast and inland. If you like more nightlife, more tourist action, you'd probably enjoy the area.
Great little hotel, too bad about the air pollution.

My family and I stayed for three nights in January. This is definitely a very basic motel. It is small and very peaceful. During the morning hours you do see the gardener, the housekeeper, and the kitchen staff. After lunch La Posada is basically manned by one staff member. Please keep this in mind if this important to you. This is an excellent choice if you want a budget price and plan on being gone during the day. I loved it because I am not a person that always "needs" something. I enjoyed relaxing by the pool, reading, and just walking on the beach. They also offered very speedy internet service that is also on the honor system. The computer is in the small front office and you can go in anytime you like. Like I said, during the day the motel is deserted. There are no tv's in the rooms nor phones. If you need to use the phone, just ask and you can use theirs. I loved the honor system for the beer, soda, and water. Just put the cap in your own little clay jar and it will be tallied up for you upon checkout. The price includes breakfast...hotcakes (pancakes) are great! Dinner is not offered but there are many restaurants nearby. Our room was a good size and the bathroom was also a nice size....good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Remember to bring your own shampoo & conditioner as this is not offered. I had a good night's sleep while staying there. It was quiet..only heard the sounds of the waves. So...only stay here if you are looking for peace and quiet and do not mind a "deserted" place in the afternoons and evenings. Best thing? Right on the beach! Ask for room 6..ground floor and view of the ocean/beach. The waves will rock you to sleep. Gracias Monica, Carla, y Don Chuy!!!

“Cute but Tired”

Hotel La Posada

1 Jan 2008
1/3 found this review helpful

We prepaid for two nights and only stayed one. Good luck in finding someone to help you if you have any issue. The hotel is VERY basic... and needs a face lift. The Americans who own the hotel where no where in sight and we could not find a person to help us. The pillows were old and we could not use the balcony because our direct neighbors proximity and their smoking habit. The fog horn from the bay goes off frequently during the night .

We had our two sons with us. This is not a hotel we would recommend to anyone.

4/4 found this review helpful

Such a unique & special place. Rooms are not fancy but very comfortable many with great views. What makes this Inn so special is the common room the serves as breakfast cafe, bar, library, & sitting area with incredible views. The pool/patio is lovely with lots of comfortable seating. the beach is long, beautiful & mostly empty. I had spent one night here when traveling via bus PV to Zihuatanejo promising to one day bring my wife here. She immediately fell in love with the Inn, staff & surroundings. The included full cooked to order breakfast is a nice touch as is the "On Your Honor" beer & soda cooler. The lunches for 65 pesos are excellent & a good value. At under $58 US at today's exchange rate for 2 this is a great value. we will return again & again!
Ps The whole staff is great but a special mention & thanks to Monica a real help!
