This is fun. North beach isla mujures. Don't be afraid to visit mexico!!!! I'll climb over that wall if it ever gets built ! Locals here are crazy friendly. I love this.
Great staff and location. If you want to avoid the crowds on Playa Norte and be steps from a beach every bit as beautiful with all of the conveniences of El Centro, stay here. Thank you Nacho, for making every stay here perfect.

Save yourself the trouble and DO NOT stay there if you don't want to ruin your vacation. The rooms are utter garbage and they do not give you the room you reserved. There are no beach towels, the shower has no hot water and the walls are extremely thin. You can hear what the people next room are doing.
Customer service was the worst of all. When you talk to the front desk staff, it's like you're annoying them. The staff doesn't seem to want to be there. Very bad attitude.
Terrible room, mold growing everywhere, no privacy in shower or bathroom, no shelf for soap, shampoo, anything in the shower area, no hot waterluke warm at best, and no blow-dryer (just be fore-warned). Staff very unfriendly, greeted me with a look that said “what the hell do you want?” They made me produce my passport number on their registration form. They wouldn’t look at my driver’s license and the credit card that made and paid for the reservation, they wanted the printed out confirmation and my passport number.
The so-called “safe” in the wall looked like if had been opened with a screw-driver. The mini fridge was rusty and looked like it had never been cleaned. The TV remote did not work. Did I say the walls were dirty and moldy? Yuck. We paid $100 a night, and this is a room that wasn’t worth $40. The ONLY plus is its proximity to the north island. I will never go back and will never recommend this hotel to anyone.
The room had everything we needed. Good location, air conditioning worked, had a nice mini fridge that worked. The hotel needs some maintenance/updating to continue to be acceptable. There was a bad sewage smell on and off, pretty typical of the places we've been in the Caribbean (small island, limited septic). Really good price for what you get and the location.
The only reason I grant this place two stars instead of one is that the staff had been nice and accommodating within reason. This is a hotel with a great location that could itself be a great place to stay if they tried a little harder. The rooms are an enigma. I once stayed in a standard room here a few years ago and was unimpressed. This year I stayed I bought up and was expecting a much better room. What I got was possibly worse, mainly because of the bathroom's lack of privacy. It does have a does that shuts and locks, but there is literally a hole cut in the wall between the bathroom and the rest of the room that I guess someone thought would be artfully modern but it has done nothing but make my entire family uncomfortable when using the toilet. You'd think this weird setup might help prevent mold, but you can see the black mold stains all over the walls. Also, you do not want to stay here if you need an elevator. I booked a room for two adults and a baby and got a room on the second floor, so everyday I have to lug a stroller up and down a flight of stairs. This is really only a place you want to stay if you don't care about cheaping out on your hotel stay and don't plan on spending much time in your room because the quality you get for your money really shows.
I am here now, if you have any knowledge BD of lung issues, bronchitis, allergies, ecspecially mold, thus is not for you. The first room I found black mold by the AC unit, bedroom wall that backs up to the shower, and the bathroom.
Second room was slightly better, so I didn't take it.
Checked third room and moved there, after I took a bottle of bleach to clean the bathroom. And I also cleaned the AC filter, that helped a lot, I was considering swapping hotels as I felt like I was going to die in room 1, not sure if I would get my money back,so I found s room I could work with after I cleaned it properly
I would not recommend this to any of my friends!
Great staff and cleaning crews. Excellent position across from beach and within walking distance of the Port
Did not have towels for several days, sheets were stained and had hair on them, pee on the shower curtain, looked like safe had been ripped out of the closet, the only real door opened to a pile of furniture blocking it (had to use sliding glass door that didn't meet in the middle with flimsy lock to leave and enter), a/c constantly turned off on its own. Waited two hours after stated check in time for a room, told no ocean view available but numerous guests walked in and got them without reservations. Would not refill water bottle in entry even with new bottle sitting beside it. Most unhelpful staff I have ever had the displeasure to meet.
Great food for lunch with friendly staff and cold beer
Right across from beautiful beach
Quant hotel with clean pretty outdoor pool
Did not stay in hotel
This was our third visit to Posada del Mar. The price can be good, but the rates were very inflated, maybe due to the holiday season or they have just been increasing over time. This trip was by far the most we have ever paid to stay here. The front desk staff is not very friendly nor helpful. A previous visit, we booked a room for 2 (their price goes up per person after that) and when we had a guest join us, they charged us extra at the desk, even though we had booked online fast forward to this trip. We paid for 4 people and had one person cancel, so when we told the desk, they said they cannot refund because they have no clue what we paid the booking company and they only get a set rate. Once we spoke to management, which was not going to give us our money back, IT IS IMPORTANT to only book for 2 people and then pay the extra once there, they even said that is the easiest way. Our room, paid for 4 people, only came with 2 towels and when we asked for more the front desk originally said no We finally were granted an extra towel and given a floor towel after we had to ask a second time. The wifi is almost completely non-existent and only works in the office, when it is working - if you are paying around $100 a night for this place, you can find way better accommodations with people who appreciate your business elsewhere. The location is nice, but everything is so close in the North Beach area that picking a different spot will not make a difference. We will not be returning to Posada del Mar after is last time.
Staff not particularly helpful- no information given about WiFi only available in lobby, or cash deposit required for pool towel use. 3 flights of stairs to our room, with no elevator. No hot water in room (broken pipe being repaired?). Baggage storage was "leave your bags under the stairs"
The pool was nice, and location right next to the beach was great.
Great rooms great people and great bar
We stayed here as our travel plans changed and we arrived to the island a day early. We purchased the cheapest room they had and oh my was it cheap. We could hear our neighbors talking, luckily they were in our group. I don't think there is any sound barrier at all in the main hotel part. I don't know how the rest of the hotel is, but it has to be better than where we stayed. Can't really report on anything else, as the entire island lost power while we were at this hotel, so there was no water, electricity, etc.
I just love this place! Great location; you can walk to the beaches and you can walk to Hilgado St (Main Street). Rooms are clean but Mexican style. Posada has a restaurant, a great bar, and a pool on the property. The only place I want to stay!
The place is very nice. Wifi is very slow and not that reliable. Nice place to stay with a pool and ocean just steps away.
