Overall Ratings & Reviews Artisan Playa Esmeralda Family Beach Hotel

En las abitaciones en algunos lugares aun habia arena al recibirla

La habitación tenía demasiado hongo, era insoportable el olor. El aire acondicionado escurría chorros de agua que mojaron todo. El teléfono no servía y hacía un ruido constante horrible.

El hotel tiene instalaciones como para que estés ahí y no salgas, las albercas y la playa están femonenales y es un hotel cómodo. Pero le hace falta mantenimeinto, las habitaciones se ven un poco viejas, al igual que los baños, también pedí un paquete de desayuno y comentaron que no tenían fruta, lo cual se me hace algo básico en un desayuno, en fin; en general la pasamos bien.

Todo muy bien

It was really loud, people were yelling and playing really loud music until almost 5AM.

Able to check in very early. 10.30!! Poor food choice in restaurant & wine too expensive

It was a nice area on the beach. The facilities were dated a bit run down, but overall good

El personal muy amable tanto en el área de recepción, maleteros, meseros y seguridad. El único inconveniente el aire acondicionado del lado de la sala de nuestra habitación no servía. Esos detalles hay q mejorarlos, como comentario constructivo la luminaria de la playa Artisan fundida creo q deberían de arreglarla junto con focos decorativos de los tipis y en ciertas zonas pintura.

The worst experience, this property needs an operations manager ASAP. The hotel is located in the beach and the entire time the restaurant did not have fish, sea food or local traditional cuisine, as advertised. Waiters were clueless of missing items and wasted valuable time to tell me they did not have food. Could not even make a salad or club sandwich. There wasn't a bar at the sky bar, wait times were insane. The room did not have towels and had to wait 3 hours and chase the staff to get some clean towels. I asked to talk to the manager and that person is absent. No one paid attention to my situation. The worst: door key did not work and doorknob had to be replaced by slow maintenance personnel. The spa was dirty. Simply horrible from beginning to wnd

We arrived in the evening and the first thing they did when we arrived was charge us another 2300 pesos for the same exact room that we already booked and paid for. Due to the late hour, there was no choice but to pay it so we could go to sleep. For that reason alone, the review is 1 star, but it doesn’t end there. The description of the room said partial ocean view but if we opened the curtains all we could see was people at the pool looking INTO OUR ROOM because they put us on the ground level. As for the restaurant, I waited over 40 minutes for food that was unremarkable. It was half as good and double the price compared with the other local restaurants in the area. Go literally anywhere else for food. The beach was nice and there were other nice amenities and events, but it was not enough to compensate for the feeling that they were just making up rules and policies to ask us for more money.

The room #1000 was ok in cleanliness but it was very noisy. Room check-in is strictly enforce at 15:00 no exceptions I notice everyone was asked ro wait. I extended an extra night and did reservation with orbitz app. The hotel moved me from previous room because they said it wasnt the same category? Despite hotel was empty on a Monday. When We arrived on Friday the hotel was very busy on all the amenities (beach, pool, hammock & paybeds) due to overselling day passes. Pool towels need to be checkout with official ID. The staff was not very helpful and even had attitudes. Restaurant food was good. I would come back

Hi 👋 the waiter Francesco was great . He spoke very good English and helped us a lot .

If this hotel is going to insist that you cannot check in early then they should be ready for you to check in at the appointed time. We were told at 2pm that we could not check in until 3pm so we went on a excursion and came back after 4pm to a crowded front desk on people trying to check in. We were told our room was not ready and was offered a late check out, which we did not need as compensation. After being persistent we were offered a couple of free drinks, that the server tried to charge us for, while we waited. When we initially arrived we did not have a ocean view room which I thought we had requested. The room we were going to have was $95 USD to upgrade to a ocean view room we were charged an addition $73 USD. That is a total of $168 USD for a room that is listed on the website for $119 USD. The room we were given included a living room separated by a door to the bed room. We had to keep the door separating the rooms closed because the air conditioning in the living room did not work and they never showed up to fix it. Except for the above issues the stay was pretty good. If you go and are looking for dining options, walk north up the beach to the restaurant next door.

Cleanliness can improve Mattress are very old and uncomfortable even renting the master suite and the junior suite, I was expecting a comfortable bed as it was 4 years ago, they need to keep up the quality of the furniture or the hotel soon will be going to a 2 star hotel

Los camastros deben de están en otra zona… al estar en pasto genera lodo y ensucian la alberca (quizás colocar concreto o madera). Debe de existir un lugar para salidas y llegadas de lancheros ya que pueden golpear a las personas en el mar.

I found 2 cockroach in the Jacuzzi . They never took the water to my room and the hallways was a dirty dishes stinks I believe it was several hours in there.

Great place to stay at!

Ok overall. The accommodation is good. They have 2 restaurant where the food is passable not great. Front desk people a bit arrogant particularly on Sunday.

The best location to stay in Playa Chachalacas, very nice hotel with friendly service and amenities, it’s one of the priciest of the region but its totally worth it.

Clean and safe place to stay staff are very friendly restaurant is great good food
