"Booked our 2 week vacation based on the photos on Expedia and the Mansiones Cruz Del Mar websites. Pictures of the Master Suite looked awesome. What we stayed in are the pictures of the Junior Suite but paid for the fancy Master Suite. Web pictures are very misrepresenting and services that were to be provided were not. Shame on you. Pool area was very nice until the pool filter system quit and the pool turned green. That lasted for over a week. The sewer smell that would filter through our room...

Princess Mayev Hotel

The hotel is located at the top of the hill with a beautiful view of the bay. The staff was friendly and helpful and the restaurant served excellent food at an affordable price. The pool was clean and inviting. The hotel is situated at the top of a hill, but is a 15-20 minute walk to the beach or downtown. We recommend this hotel for a romantic getaway or family gathering. We will stay here again.

This space was a beautiful oasis from the heat of the city! The bed was cozy, AC worked great, everything you need! We loved relaxing by the pool and enjoying all the gorgeous greenery! I have new ideas for my pool area at home!! We had previously been staying at a big resort, so this was a wonderfully peaceful change of pace. The owner/manager was incredibly kind, can’t thank him enough for his generosity! Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone!

This is a beautiful property a few miles from town. We rented a car for our 6-day stay which proved to be very convenient. Our 2-bedroom apartment was lovely, comfortable, clean, quiet and had a sweeping view of the beach, the service was excellent, everyone went out of their way to greet us. The food at the pool bar and restaurant was good. I only have 2 complaints. The first is that the pool is relatively small and was constantly filled with small children and plastic pool toys, we would have...
