LunArena Barefoot Hotel

The hotel is so cosy and the room so pretty ( love the bed) the balcony is magic at the nights and see the stars. All the personal are so gently and are very interesting in the guest. The breakfast is nice and peaceful. The beach is only 2min from the hotel and is totally virgin, you can walk and walk and see the sea and the jungle at the same time. We will come back ! Thanks Lunarena

This hotel is not exactly on the beach but pretty close to it. The beach itself is amazing. The hotel not so much. But they have great customer service. The front desk clerk Laura speaks great English (rarely to be found around this place). She also helped to accommodate my disability, which was greatly appreciated by both me and my husband. Free breakfast included with the room was decent, although sometimes took a long wait to get. The hotel premises are beautiful but the rooms not so much. Some of them do not even have air conditioning. Overall, good experience but we expected more.

We stayed 5 days in Lunarena and we loved it. We were looking for tranquility, a peaceful place with beautiful beaches to be able to walk for km, a super little boutique hotel with excellent service, friendly staff and good food, we found it all here ! The room was perfect with a great view and spectacular sunrise and sunset views (yes booth !).

Attractive hotel close to the beach. The rooms were ok, although not very practical. There was a limited place to store items (no cupboards or closets), the kitchen had very limited equipment and utensils and the top floor bed was hanging from the ceiling which made it swinging and rather uncomfortable. The lower floor room had a solid bed which was a lot better. The staff was friendly and helpful, the breakfast rather limited.

Trying to be honest here, the hotel had some positives. We noticed how the staff is warm and welcoming and our third floor room had a magnificent terrace looking over the wetlands. Because the hotel is at the extreme eastern edge of El Cuyo, we had the most wonderful view of the night sky with minimal light pollution. The room itself was very basic without closet or drawers to sufficiently unpack. What was advertised as a kitchen was in reality a refrigerator, sink and hot plate. Without knives or coffee maker, there wasn’t much we could prepare but the fridge was nice thing to have. Our biggest gripe was the lack of water that affected most of our two night stay. We couldn’t shower on our fist full day due to nothing coming from the shower head. We were told to try to shower again later in the day as the guests had already used up most of what was in their water tank. And on our last day, all the water was out throughout the hotel. I learned that when there’s a loss of power, the pump needs to be manually reset. Ok, this is Mexico, power outages are commonplace and there should be accommodations made for this type of event. However, they need to upgrade their water system if they’re going provide lodging up to their capacity. And referring to capacity, parking spaces were extremely limited. The restaurant had its up and downs, as well. On our first evening we split some guacamole and a fish entree. The guacamole seemed like some green fluff devoid of any natural flavors. It was just plain weird. The fish was tasty and nicely spiced. Breakfast was a mixed bag with lukewarm or flavorless coffee and the waitstaff had a tendency on both days to bring the food minus eating utensils. I know they’re trying but they need to do better for me to recommend this hotel which felt much more like a hostel.

Estancia de una sola noche bien, la habitación cómoda, muy adoc al entorno del Cuyo, rústico todo, incluye desayuno y estuvo rico. En cuanto a la habitación al reservar decía que era con vista al mar lo cual no fue así, fuera de eso todo bien. PD. Un detalle quizá no tan importante pero tal vez si para algunos huéspedes es que tuviera cortina una ventana pequeña que tiene la habitación ya que por ahí entra bastante claridad. Fuera de eso todo muy bien, felicidades!
