Hotel Xapala

We were in this hotel with 3 friends and all we got was threats! You weren't allowed to take alcohol into your room and acquaintances (friends) who weren't in the hotel were threatened if you entered the hotel for just a short time! 1 night before we left we were thrown out of the hotel because it was seen on video that we had alcohol and someone else with us. Absolutely no go!! Never again!!

Furniture old and small room. Bathroom needs updating and no amentities. It is not far from beach but in neigbourhhod or residents and looks very old neighbourhood. The price is cheap but not coming here or to el Arenal again. We will stay in palma city which is more modern and nicer.

In general ElArenal is not a good location beside being close to airport. It is more like low cost residential for locals than an upscale reort. Beside that this hotel offered us a room that was very noisy and 2 of the nights we could not even sleep. The view is poor to street and if a drunk person shouts in the street you will hear it as if it was inside your bathroom. Fast wi fi was very very good but not going back.
