We chose this hotel to get a more authentic flare of Cancun. The hotel is quite old, and could use some repair, but it was kept very clean. It is a very basic place. Bring your blow dryer and beach towels. The front desk was always helpful with questions and directions. The showers are always cold to lukewarm, and that was the only complaint. We walked to Walmart (10 -15 min walk) and bought a small cooler. The front desk got ice for it all of the time, but you have to have your own container. Overall we were happy with our stay and enjoyed the local people and food.

The hotel would be a great deal if you could handle the cold showers you have everyday. I talked with the front desk everyday plus I asked other guests if they had cold showers. We all had the same issues. I had to make a scene at the front desk on day three before I got them to turn up the heat on the water. Each room is separate and if you don't throw a fit they are not going to help you. Since you are out in the hot sun all day, taking a shower and washing your hair is necessary. I would not go back to this hotel for this reason.

This hotel is in downtown Cancun and is a great value for the money. The food is very good and the hotel staff is very attentive although you may only find English speaking staff at the front desk, so take your phrase book with you! I would definitely recommend renting a car if you stay here to make the trip a little more fun/relaxing ($200/week at the airport). Parking right in front of or on the side of the hotel is easy to find. The beach is about 10 min away in a car, or you can take the public transportation. There are a lot of restaurants and bars near the hotel as well as other shops. The hotel zone in Cancun is very busy/touristy, so renting a car and doing a little exploring is a great way to see the Caribbean side of Mexico and the Mayan ruins that abound on the Yucatan without paying a hefty price. There is a Walmart close to the hotel that will give you a good exchange rate as well as a grocery store to buy a few things you might need like the sunscreen that the TSA confiscates from you. You will not be disappointed with your stay here. Also there is a lady across the street who will do your laundry for a few dollars and she does a great job, she even pressed my t-shirts! They have free internet and have information on tours and everything that you will need. Give it a try!

We decided to stay at Margaritas Hotel in Cancun for our first night in Mexico, before heading inland to exlore different Maya sites. The hotel is located in downtown Cancun in a liveliy area with many local shops and restaurants. The hotel room was very clean, but that's about it. Neither the room nor the rest of the hotel is anything to write about - good or bad. If you need an inexpensive place to spend your first or last night of your trip to the Yucatan, then this is a good place for you. However, I would not stay there for an extended visit, it's just not that comfortable or exciting.

Magaritas Hotel, Cancun

A very good value. Clean, friendly staff, nice little resturant. The hotel iscentrally locate and within walking distance of shopping plazas and many resturants. A nice park is near by. Our cost was less than 1/2 the book cost. This not a fancy, Luxurious hotel but probably the best down town baragain in Cancun.
