The hotel is well-located, only about a block and a half from the beach. It's necessary to cross the very busy Costera Miguel Aleman, which isn't easy because pedestrian right-of-way is generally not respected. It's a very small hotel with a tiny pool that gets very little sunshine (at least in mid-December). There were three of us...my wife and I and our adult daughter...and we had a double bed and a single bed in the small room. The TV is perched above a mirror, and it's very difficult to watch it comfortably. We felt secure in the hotel, and made use of the in-room safe to guard our passports and visas and some cash. Other items of value, such as a laptop computer and cell phones, were openly left in the room while we were away at the beach, and nothing ever came up missing. We're all bilingual, and found the hotel staff to be very attentive and friendly. We went to a concert at the Forum Mundo Internacional (Marco Antonio Solis) on our first night there, and the front desk staff gave us easy directions to the venue. We stayed for two nights, and spent the rest of our time on Malibu beach. My daughter and I had one breakfast at the Restaurante Las Gaviotas (nothing to write home about), in front of the hotel. We enjoyed two meals at the nearby El Zorrito restaurant, on Costera Miguel Aleman (good choice!). We've stayed in hundreds of hotels throughout Latin America and the U.S., and this one is an acceptable alternative to the high-rise, overpriced hotels on the beach.
