Platanitos Vacation Rentals

"Chacala is definitely off the beaten path. The streets are rough and the shops are limited. However, the beach is terrific. The people are friendly and the pace of life is lovely. The Casa. Liquen hotel is owned and operated bye a welcoming, warm and friendly woman with enough energy for three people. When you stay here, you feel like you’re staying with a friend. The hotel is 3 or 4 years old and in good condition, very clean, but what sets it apart are the friendly staff. We did an early morning hike right from the hotel up to a lovely viewpoint above town that sits on the edge of an ancient volcano. While I was there, I caught one of the most beautiful sunsets I can recall. This town and the hotel are not for everybody. It took me a bit to catch the vibe, but once I did, I really liked it. This is a special place to slow down, unplug and relax. No bar scene, no fancy restaurants. Lots of families enjoying an authentic rustic Mexican village by the sea. "

"We enjoyed everything but the #1 reason I would return was the hospitality. The staff was so friendly and attentive to us. "

"Me enchants BAOS , desde la comida hasta el personal Que te atiende como si fueras familia!!! "

"Very good hotel, everything you need is there."

"Here is a breakdown of our stay checking in July 9, 2025 checking out July 10, 2025- original booking on Expedia.com- Positives- Check in- the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming- however told us that we could not pay with credit card, but we said that we needed to checkout at 05:00 am the following morning due to a relative being in the hospital. She agreed to follow up with the owner to confirm. She led us to our cabin, and I turned on the air to get it cool- as we were going to spend time on the beach- in the pool- and in the restaurant. Figured in a couple of hours the room would be cool. The room looked amazing, and for the $215 $3500MXN) a night I figured it was good value. Location/ atmosphere- The only thing I can say is wow! Amazing location, amazing grounds, the vibe is amazing. They have everything decorated to theme, and it is amazing just to sit and soak it all in. Good public restrooms, great bar area, friendly and attentive staff. After beach time, we opted to eat- we ordered the coconut shrimp and the shrimp a la diabla. Both were huge portions and delicious!!! I was leary as many other reviews were very critical of the food, however we absolutely loved it!!! We could pay dinner on credit card- but not the room? Pool- very relaxing!!! Great size and deep enough to really get your relax on!!! Clean and the views over the ocean were spectacular! Negatives- Returned to our room to find that the power was off- and the room was hot. Went to the front d"

"It was great. I had such a great time. The hotel was amazing. Definitely going back again. The room was great and the staff was so helpful "

"Everything was great "

"We return here every year once or twice "

"Staff is fantastic. It's a peaceful location right on the estuary. The pool area is clean and the room is comfortable. The pillows are quite hard for my taste, but everyone is different. The room has access to bottled water has an in-room coffee maker and Netflix. There is a dirt road leading up to the property. There is hardly any traffic past the hotel. The front desk suggested we put our motorcycle in the locked lot at night."
