Hotel Estancia San Carlos

We stayed because somewhere we had to stay because of the problem caused by the death of the mencho. Cariiisimo! (I think they did their "August"). And the bungalow toilet wrong! There were sweets sucked under the bed, pans full of oil, the shower door rail downright dirty. Nor does the quality of sheets and towels seem to correspond to what we were charged. Bad.

Room cleaner scammer targeting elderly people. We had a very bad experience this past summer with the cleaner named Erica she’s been screaming my dad (who’s 81 years old) for a very long time asking him for money confusing him and milking him believe they have a relationship which is not true. Please be aware and be careful of your beloved family.

We stumbled across this hotel while walking along the beach and liked its pool and grounds and checked in the next night (after a nightmare experience at another hotel at the opposite end of the beach). The grounds are visually attractive and well maintained with double swimming pools in the centre. The hotel reception did not speak English but two of the groundskeepers did. Alberto was a kind man who spoke English and helped us a lot as did Viktor? (not sure of his name). Rincon de Guayabitos is very Mexican and not many people speak English. There were many Mexican families enjoying themselves along the long beach. It is so nice to see how Mexican families gather together and enjoy the kids and relatives! The hotel was hosting Mexican families and we appeared to be the only Canadians at this time of the year which is the off season for tourists.October in this part of Mexico is very hot, humid and uncomfortable; also many restaurants are closed. Our room overlooked the pools and the beach and had a balcony with chairs. There are family suites available. I would rated this hotel a 4 but the beds were hard and not comfy at all. The room had a TV with one English station - CNN- which either Alberto or Viktor helped us to get a clear tv signal. This was great because we could get news about the middle east conflict that is going on. The room had a mini fridge for our drinks which we appreciated very much. There is purified water in the hall to use in filing water bottles which was also appreciated. There was decent wi-fi and air conditioning. The restaurant in the hotel is open for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner. The shrimp dishes were very good! Shrimp was our go to meal here. The hotel is in town but on the beach side. An OXXO store is very nearby but we found the prices to be expensive. Many tacos stands are nearby.
