Playa Conchas Chinas Category 4 stars

We just got back and this was our first stay at Concha Chinas. We were there for three nights. It's about a 30 yr old hotel right on the side of a cliff facing the ocean as the pictures indicate. It is all stairs up and down so be prepared to get some exercise to get to the beach/restaurant on the lower level. We didn’t have any trouble with our room service (towels face cloths etc, we even had 4, yes 4 rolls of toilette paper in our room at one time. The room had a balcony overlooking the ocean, two double beds, overhead fan as well as an air conditioner, if you need it - we didn't, a kitchenette (sink and cook top) with a good size fridge and all the dishes etc supplied if you were into serving yourself. One guest we spoke with said he purchased 8 live lobsters from a fisherman right off the beach for $20 and his wife cooked them up in their room. I saw the fisherman and he also had fish and oysters for sale too which he brought in every day from the ocean. Let's face it; most of the hotel beds in Mexico (at least the ones we slept on) are usually "firm" to put it nicely. So if you can't sleep on anything other than a posturepedic you should probably stay home and go camping. Maybe the 5 Stars have better, we've never stayed at one. Some of the service in the lower restaurant can be slow depending on the number of customers (they don't hurry you in and out). They were very apologetic when you had to wait for your food, which from our experience was well worth the waiting. We did not investigate the upper restaurant which had entertainment at night as we were quite satisfied with our lowere level experience.In the afternoon, there was also service provided on the beach if you so desired. There was swimming/snorkeling in the ocean if the tide isn’t too rough (kids too – with a lifejacket if your the nervous type - although not really necessary). We experience both calm and rough days and you don’t really have to be too experienced to figure out whether you should go swimming or not. The staff will advise you if you ask them or are unsure. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and would return in the future.

if you feel like going to paradise...try this one,its a dream, with its lovely beach right there!!

We were very dissatisfied with the Playa Conchas Chinas hotel. The beds were extremely unconfortable and, even though we put both matresses on one bed, we were unable to sleep. There was a strong odor of sewage in our room and water was leaking everywhere in the bathroom, especially after flushing the toilet. The refrigerator did not work properly. Everyday we had to request towels and wash cloths since they were never supplied in our room. After one week, we moved to another hotel. We strongly recommend that you not direct other clients to this hotel and believe we are entitled to, at the very least, a partial refund. We will not recommend the hotel to friends.
