The place is falling apart and is a total scam. The "manager" isn't even the owner—he just subleases the building to squeeze money out of tourists without investing a single cent into maintenance. He acts as the manager, the cleaning staff, and the cook all at once.

The location is great,and overall is not a bad place to stay; these few things need attention so that people can get what's advertised. The air conditioner took quite a time to start cooling off the room, the Continental breakfast wasn't what I expected, just coffee and toast was offered. It's great for one self but not when you travel with children. The main reason I rated a three Star was the concierge would clean early mornings like 2 am etc.. bumping into our door without any regard. Honestly if you're traveling alone and just adults this is a great option it is centered and food stalls and shops are all around it.

For the price I paid ($20 USD / night) it was a decent stay. The rooms were cleaned thoroughly, the staff were friendly for the most part. The beach advertised is not swimmable, as there was massive amounts of rotting seaweed on the beach. Perhaps, it was a seasonal/temporary thing form a storm, but it wasn't possible to swim there. The area was a nice touristy district, with lot's of familiar American restaurant chains, as well as authentic Mexican restaurants. There is no Uber in Carmen, so you will have to use Taxis to get around. The complimentary breakfast was only toast and coffee, but there are several places open nearby for breakfast. All in all it was a decent stay.
