Club Embarcadero Pacifico Category 4 stars

I was there for the week of February 13th - 20th, 2009. The time frame to which we stayed was very interesting. When we first arrived, it was predominately Mexicans from all over Mexcio, and had a really 'mellow' vibe. On Sunday (we arrived on the Friday) our resort was full of Canadians on their reading week. The atmosphere then turned to more party mode.

The hotel overall had a party vibe, and was a really great place to meet people and socialize. The staff were great and very friendly! I personally didn't mind the food (great breakfast in the am; Hamburgers, cheesy fries and nachos for lunch on the beach behind the Villas; and for dinner, there was an assortment of Chicken and beef with potatoes and rice). This resort is located on la marina, with a beautiful view. Directly across the road is the Villas where the beach is located. There are a bunch of nice resteraunts all around if you want a change from the buffets.

The night life was very, very packed when we were there. I especially enjoyed club "Hilo" and "Senor Frogs". It's an 8 dollar, fifteen minute ride to town. Be careful to tell the cab drivers the price first.

Overall I've heard and seen many complaints. If you want a more quiet laid back atmosphere, this place probly isn't your best choice. If you want to mix and mingle and enjoy a 'mild' party, I recommend it.

The rooms were a great size, and come equipped with a fridge and stove, and a very 'cold' air conditioner (which is perfect).

I had a great time, and look forward to returning soon.

Cheers.
PS. Bring your own C.D player. We made sure to publicize 'Alice in Chains' while we were there ;-)

This hotel is not for prim and proper people. If you like loud, pumping music and drinking all day you'll love it here. If you're looking for some peace and quiet, I suggest another hotel. Food was pretty good, staff very friendly. Drinks are very tasty, although I recommend ordering doubles :)



Plus, they seemed to love Alice in Chains, particularly "Bleed the Freak".

I have travelled extensively around the world and now enjoy the finer things in life. As I have time to pick and choose where I spend my time. This hotel is not 5 star in amenities but 5 star in effort to accomodate the traveller's needs. The location is outstanding and if you love the water, you will have the marina on one side and the ocean on the other. The room I had was roomy with large balony. Food is generally fine with breakfast being best. Service is exemplary. The activities group is especially attentive and please ask Jose for a game of tennis. (I am going to check up on his improvements) next time I come. Carol.
