Hvorfor folk elsker det

7.9⭐234 anmeldelser
  • Unbeatable Caribbean views from private balconies
  • The sound of crashing waves acts as a natural white noise machine
  • Walkable to both the ferry and Playa Norte but just outside the noisy bar zone

Hurtig oversigt: A view-obsessed budget hotel where you trade bathroom privacy and soft mattresses for a front-row seat to the Caribbean Sea.

Anmeldt af @travel.withlydia: I stayed at Rocamar and the ocean views blew me away. Waking up to the sound of waves and swaying in that balcony hammock was pure magic. It’s the perfect spot if you just want to stare at turquoise water all day. Highly recommend for a recharge.

The hype

Travelers are obsessed with the balconies and hammocks but consistently complain about the hard beds and lack of privacy in the bathrooms.

Reality check

The 'hot' water is often lukewarm and takes 5 minutes to arrive, and the water pressure is a trickle.

  • You wake up early for sunrises
  • You prefer the sound of waves to the sound of nightclubs
  • You need a central location but want to save money for tacos

Renhed & Vedligeholdelse

7.5
  • Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable, but don't expect deep-clean detailing. Floors are swept but can feel sandy.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean, but the humid climate leads to occasional mold in grout lines. Glass walls show water spots easily.
  • Maintenance: The building shows its age with peeling paint on the exterior and rusted fixtures due to the salt air.
  • Linens & towels: Towels are often described as 'scratchy' or 'worn.' Sheets are clean but basic cotton, not luxury thread count.
  • Odors & scents: Rooms generally smell fresh due to the ocean breeze, though mustiness can occur if windows are kept shut tight.

Før du booker

Godt at vide

  • The hotel entrance is on the town side; the 'ocean front' is the back of the hotel.
  • There is no on-site restaurant, but coffee is provided in the lobby.
  • The pool is small and more for dipping than swimming laps.

Hvad skal du pakke

  • Earplugs (if crashing waves keep you awake)
  • Conditioner (the saltwater air and hard water are tough on hair)
  • Cash for the environmental tax (~30 MXN/person/night)

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips

Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.

Is there a beach at the hotel?

No. The hotel is on the rocky eastern coast. The famous Playa Norte (sandy beach) is a 10-15 minute walk away.

Is there an elevator?

No. The hotel has three floors and no elevator. Staff may help with bags, but don't count on it at odd hours.

Is the pool heated?

No, and it can feel chilly in the morning or during winter months.

Does the hotel have parking?

Not for cars. There is space to park a golf cart, but street parking is first-come, first-served.

Is the WiFi good enough for work?

It's hit-or-miss. Decent in the lobby and some rooms, but often drops on the balconies due to the concrete structure.

Are kids allowed?

Yes, but the vibe is very quiet and adult-centric. The glass bathrooms also make it awkward for families.

Insidertips

  • ✨

    Ask for a hammock if your balcony doesn't have one; they sometimes store them away.

  • ✨

    The 'Town View' rooms are significantly cheaper but can feel claustrophobic compared to the ocean side—spend the extra $30.

  • ✨

    There is a purified water refill station in the lobby; bring your own bottle to save money.

5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted

  • 💡The bathroom door is often just a glass pane that doesn't fully seal—odors escape.

  • 💡The wind on the ocean side can be strong enough to blow drying swimsuits off the balcony.

  • 💡You can watch the sunrise from your bed without even sitting up in the oceanfront rooms.

  • 💡The 'hot' water is solar-assisted in many local hotels, meaning it's hottest in the late afternoon.

  • 💡The front desk locks the main door late at night; you have to ring a bell to get back in.
