Kim Kim never fails | kimkim traveler review by AnaElvia S.

Viva Villahermosa

Villahermosa

The hotel is one of the oldest hotels in the area. Very well located because you can walk to a beautiful park in the back and also to La Venta. The pool area is wonderful but the food for breakfast café is not up to par. The rooms are old and terrible lighting in the bathrooms. They are working with some of the rooms but basically they are not doing a good remodel they’re just painting. It’s as clean as it can be, but I was not impressed by anything. My room unfortunately was in the back and there was some kind of event the first night that kept going till three in the morning. The band was playing people screaming and yelling, so that was a bad night in itself. Would I go back to it , maybe but it wouldn’t be my first choice. I chose this hotel. It has nothing to do with Kim Kim. I don’t think their advertisement is truly honest.

Authenticity & Character

They basically need to remodel everything. It’s one of the oldest hotels which is understandable, but the maintenance is not as great as it should be. It could really be a wonderful place.

Location

Very centrally located with a beautiful park in the back that you can walk along and be very safe. It’s right along the lake so the views are fantastic. I was there on Sunday so it’s very nice to see all the families and groupings of people having a good time, relaxing and enjoying its beauty. It is also very close to la Venta so you can really just walk over.

Staff

I basically use the BILL boy ones and the waiters two days. Everybody was kind and helpful.

Cleanliness & Comfort

The place was actually clean, but if they were to remodel, it would look so much better. The bed was very comfortable. TV was working. They had a safety deposit box which is nice to have everywhere. The lighting was horrific. Basically there was hardly any light in the sink area and it could not be improved because they had built over the light fixtures and you couldn’t remove it to replace a lightbulb

Piedra de Agua Hotel Boutique Palenque

Palenque

An exquisite place to be. Right in the middle of the jungle. They only serve breakfast, which is kind of a downside because everything else is not a walking distance. But the place is wonderfully decorated super comfortable and just very unique.. I will definitely go back to it.

Authenticity & Character

Beautiful settings and perfect decoration for the type of hotel that it is. Very unique.

Location

I chose this hotel because of the set up and the location which is the middle of the jungle or at least it makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the jungle. It is very well decorated extremely comfortable and very clean. They offer massage services and things like that which I don’t usually Use myself, but they are available. They do not speak English at the front, which makes it difficult for some of the tours that are seeking to have the massages. I was the only gas that that time the hotel since it’s low season. The Jacuzzi obviously was not kept at temperature neither the pool which was a little bit disheartening. But all in all it’s a place of 100% relaxation. There is no telephone no TV . Loved it.

Staff

Again, I’m not a person that relies a lot on staff, but whoever I was in contact with was very kind and very service oriented

Cleanliness & Comfort

Immaculately clean

Guayaba Inn

San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas

I chose Guayaba Inn as well. The surroundings are magnificent, beautifully decorated rooms are immaculately, clean and super comfortable. They do have TV and a bar. One of my favorites.

Authenticity & Character

Gorgeous, decorations and colors of walls. Walkways little hidden corners trees everywhere just truly a place that one should have time to enjoy while staying there. The patio, are lovely and the attention to detail it’s right on

Location

It’s located a little bit away from downtown but you can still walk the streets. It’s very safe.

Staff

No, English is spoken but everybody’s very kind and a service minded

Cleanliness & Comfort

Wonderfully clean, organized and extremely comfortable. It has its own unique elegance about it. My room was lovely and I didn’t really want to leave.

La Catrina de Alcalá

If you want to stay a few blocks away from Zocalo and the excitement of the city. This is a place to go. I did not like the fact that it’s in a pedestrian area so cars cannot come in and if you have suitcases and things like that, it makes it very difficult for the drivers to park the cars a block around and try to help you. I tend to like hotels that have patios and gardens. This one is an old Casona which does have an atrium, but does not have any green areas. Regardless, it is extremely clean comfortable very spacious and wonderful lighting in every room. I still would recommend it. I’m just picky about having green areas and feeling like I can be outdoors when I come to the hotel in the afternoons to take a break.

Authenticity & Character

This is an authentic Casona, wonderfully decorated with bright colors in the rooms and white walls with a beautiful contrast.. they’re breakfast or a huge, so be prepared for that. They are pretty Atlantic to the area as well. Even though they were short of personnel, you would’ve never been their breakfast or a huge, so be prepared for that. They are pretty Atlantic to the area as well. Even though they were short of personnel, you would’ve never been able to tell because they went beyond the 2 miles to take care of you.. again one thing I have to mention is that none of the hotels or places that I have been are easy to maneuver if you have a handicap

Location

Like I said, the location is great because you are in walking distance of all of the downtown areas. It is very safe and easy to walk around.

Staff

Everybody was helpful and kind
