The good part about Estrella del Mar is it is right on the water and has amazing sunsets. The hotel itself needs a facelift, but it's close to the airport and clean. The cleaning staff were really friendly.
A couple of cons . . . There was no coffee pot or way to make coffee in the room. You had to go to the restaurant to buy it. They had many people working in their restaurants over two days, but they were extremely inefficient and slow with their processes. When you had their attention they were nice and tried to be helpful, it just seemed like they forgot about you once they walked away. They seemed to be busy, but I'm not sure what they were doing, as other tables were getting the same experience.
We also were traveling with our 3 1/2 lb. long-haired chihuahua. They not only took a daily pet fee about $25 USD per day, but made us pay a cash deposit ($1000 pesos). We did get our deposit back after they checked the room. We travel often with her, so we found it unusual to have both a daily fee and a cash deposit.
We also asked for a taxi back to the airport. They use the Estrella del Mar vans and the driver was an Estrella employee. The driver was very nice and prompt, but they do charge a fee for the service (480 pesos). This is expensive, given that you pay that same amount for a taxi to go to Centro from the airport (triple the distance).
