The simple accommodation and open air design allows you to connect to the beach and relax in peace. Hammocks on the terrace and tables and chairs in the front overlook the ocean where you can watch whales go by and surfers catch waves. There's a good, simple breakfast available with good coffee. The staff are amazing and this is a cool place to connect to people or relax alone. The location is ideal. Far enough from town to be quieter but close enough to walk for anything you want.
The food here is great and also they play some of the best music on the beach. One morning we even got to listen to live saxophone and upbeat jazz, what a great spot! They also are very supportive of the nudist culture of the beach and allow guests to be nude on the beach portion of the restaurant if desired. I’d recommend! Also the French toast drizzled in chocolate was to die for.
Just stayed at the Lyoban Hotel for 3 weeks and loved it! We couldn't have chosen a better spot on the beach. The hotel, staff, food and drinks were amazing. The rooms are spacious with large windows (no glass) giving you access to a cool breeze, sounds of the waves and a spectacular view. We will definitely be back! Thank you Valentin, Mara and Hector for making our stay/holiday so memorable.
Excellent staff The new owner Hector is a lovely human. Very caring and genuine. The hotel is well situated, right on the beach You will free there Relax And at home Hector is doing his best to make this place great again and create a good vibe!
It was AMAZING! I had the room with the balcony towards the ocean and I was speechless. The room is beautiful and the view…. I slept with the doors open and every time I opened my eyes I saw the ocean. It was incredible. From this place you have 5-10 walking minutes on the beach (which is safe) to the center. I talked to Paulina (the host) and she is really nice! I’m excited to see her dreams become reality with this place. ON NOTE: yes there is a night club that plays awful music until late at night, but put some earplugs in and the beauty of the place will outweigh the nightclub. Also, yes there are mosquitos but welcome to Mexico. But yourself some anti-mosquito spray, wrap the mosquito nets provided around the bed and it’s all easy!
The location is amazing! You can wake up and swim every morning, then sit in a hammock and people watch from the shade. Plus, the staff are awesome. I loved chatting with Valentín every day-- he's a great host. Bonus points: this place has a pool, 3 cute cats, and in-house restaurant for all your breakfast or fish taco needs. The Wifi works, but don't expect fast upload speeds (this is Zipolite).
