Hotelito Azul
10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful stay, super blessed to have been able to experience it. Beach is right there, food options are great, the staff is beyond helpful. Cleanliness was a 10/10. Sad to leave, looking forward to return :)"
" Love everything about this eco-resort, and the astoundingly beautiful beach it’s on. The quiet peaceful vibe is so chill, yet its location is surrounded by restaurants and shops, so great variety just steps away. Wonderfully friendly staff, charming grounds with pool, clean rooms, lovely breakfast included and served at their beach cafe. This was my second visit, but hopefully not my last."
"My stay at Coco Unlimited was lovely. The stag went above and beyond to accommodate our stay. Breakfast was delicious every morning with a variety of options. Property was clean and well maintained. I am beyond satisfied with my experience. "
"Amazing personalized service since there is only 20 rooms on the entire property. Communicate via WhatsApp for instant replies and quick action. Rooms were clean and beautiful. Breakfast can be improved. "

"A Truly Restorative Stay — Our Home Away From Home
This was our second time staying here, and we would absolutely return again. From the moment we arrived, it felt like coming home. It’s the perfect place to recharge.
We were welcomed with a delicious, health-conscious drink that set the tone for the rest of our stay. The front-desk staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely kind.
The rooms are beautiful—rustic yet refined—with plunge pools, thoughtful décor, and all the amenities you could need, from blow dryers and robes to additional curated items available for purchase.
With three restaurants on site, the dining experience is a highlight. There’s Japanese, Mediterranean, and an open-air beachfront restaurant, La Popular Nômade Temple, which offers fresh fish from the Caribbean Sea and a dining experience rooted in simplicity and connection to nature. Everything we ordered was not only beautifully plated but delicious. The servers were attentive, helpful, and incredibly warm—many even remembered us by name.
The beach was gorgeous, as always, and we were thrilled to find no sargasso seaweed during our visit.
The spa was incredible, offering a range of traditional Mexican treatments focused on deep relaxation and healing. The wellness program is also robust, with complimentary yoga, breathwork, outdoor ceremonies, and unique experiences available for purchase. Our only suggestion would be to increase capacity—classes fill up quickly, especially during busy weeks.
