Casa Luca

Lorena Ramirez was a huge help. Really went out of her way. Amazing staff, rooms, location, bar and restaurant. Location is great. Very short walk to all you need and MORE.

Aside from being close to beaches,15 minutes walking distance, it does not offer much more. My wife and I spend over a month from May 2021 to mid-June 2021, and lived in two different units. So, it is extremely noisy with regular traffic and the fact that it is the main gathering for Uber Eats and other delivery guys on their motorcycle right below the hotel, you also get Pata Negar restaurant below the 1st floor banging dishes late at night around 10:30 pm to midnight, dishes don't get washed during the day. Pros: Close to the beaches and 5th Avenida It has some cute and big balconies. Fatima and Rosa are good at trying to accommodate the guess. f Cons: Remember this hotel promotes itself as a good option for a long stay with all amenities needed. You don't get what you see, the photo are mostly for the penthouse. Different rooms with different amenities, or lack of amenities, Small fridge, some rooms don't have a microwave, coffee maker, or knives or dishes, or glasses or cutting board, the list goes on. The first unit which we stayed, unit 22, has a dangerous floor plan, not recommended for elderly, but it does have a cute balcony. The bed in all units is not comfortable by any standard, you feel every spring. During our stay, we asked other digital nomads to test their mattresses. The couch in all units is a hard cushion pad placed on a concrete slab, for real. YOU SHARE THE INTERNET WITH EVERYONE ON THE SAME Floor, not just slow but it is also unsecure. Air-condition in our second room worked 40% of the time, the rest it was hot like an oven. In the second unit, we had two chairs and a table that was the size of almost a child play table. My wife and I couldn't eat together, and not to mention that we could not sit longer than 10 minutes on the chairs. The owner is not an honest person, we could not get our deposits back. Although he had promised to give us the deposit back by 11 am on June 1st in cash, since we had paid in cash, but he refused to talk to us and give us the money back. After three hours of argument between myself and the hotel staff, Fatima decided to give me her own money and she assured me that she would get it back from the owner. I felt bad for Fatima and I decided to stay few days extra without paying; instead of taking the cash from her. Just an FYI: we also stayed at the other location, Casa del arbol and it is about 3.5 km from the center and not much better than Casa luca. Trust Fatima for the most part, Rosa is the housekeeper so she does not have any saying, but do not trust Manuel - he lies. When we first moved to Casa del Arbol, he told us we have our own internet while pointing at the modem inside of our room. He also told me that we are getting the executive room since I paid a bit extra. The next day,I found out not only we were not in the executive room, but the modem was just plugged in to make it look like we have internet connection, in fact, we are using the lobby internet and it was as slow as Sunday car drivers. Just a note on the hotel standards of Mexico, what we call executive and penthouse are not the same as what you get in most of Mexico. Bottom line, Casa Luca, Mi Esposa Y Mi nunca.
