“very nice place, great host”

El Duende del Mar

9 Dec 2006
4/4 found this review helpful

To all the Dear friends thinking to visit mexico, but avoiding the restricted and unpersonnal all inclusive hotels El duende del mar is the place for you.It is located on Avenue 30 at 5 minutes walking from the main street 5 Avenue and 7 minutes from the beautifull main beach and 8 minutes walking from the main bus station.
This is pratically a residence with lovely apparments at reasenable price from $35 to about 70/80 $ depending as well on the season.The place where is located ,can look a bit doggy at first glance, but is only appearence.There is very safe and after 2 evening you will fill confortuble like you would be home.The residence or condo hotel as they call it here , has a nice garden sourranding the building, making it very safe and with a tropical touch.Denny the gentle italian host is a very nice boy and will help in any circumstancy. In terms of location i would not change it for any, only at 5 minutes from the main road (Touristic ) you feel aleady in a mexican neighbourhood. That means also to find an excellent lunch fro 4 $ or, if you want to be on the budget all apparments have a lovely kitchenett, local shop are just on the side or at less then 5minutes walking there is a big supermarket with any thing you want at 50% cost , respect to europe.Not to be forgotten is the fact that ,the garden has a barbecue at disposal of the guest.If youloo for an accomodation for long or short stay , spend less and filling in mexico being practicly at few step from a fun city centre el duende will suite you. Denny the host has just open a small condominium with lovely appartment on 5avenida. it is on the exspansion area of the road so about 5 minutes walking from the main part and 5 minutes from the location and very suggestable for longer stay as danny can sort out a long stay plan with good discount .Last thing to say the photo on the web site are absolutely real and in elduende there is an excellent free wifi service
