The staff was amazing, especially Edwin who took a lot of time to help us with our many questions and Ally who went out of his way to help when we had some issues. My family felt at home at BFH, mostly because of them and that convinced us to come back in the near future. Steve Lafreniere and Marcela Jimenez

I think the biggest weak point of this hotel is its restaurant and breakfast. It is far from the hotel and not enough proper and acceptable. It is very poor. Also, the pool of the hotel is very small and its water doesn't clean regularly.

I came in very late, since there were obstacles to getting my bag to my room, I would have appreciated some help. I had to insert the key to get lighting, but I had no outdoor lighting, I had to enter, set everything down and find my phone in the dark.

When I arrived at the front desk the guy was using the computer, but didnt have a second to look up and greet me. He continued doing his thing for a minute or two then finally acknowledged me. To me, the first impression is super important so if it were me behind the desk I would have stopped for a second to greet the guest and tell them that I would be right with them. I would have been more than satisfied with that. It's those little gestures that make the difference. The room was small, but clean and decent looking. The bed and pillows were rather firm for my liking, but ok. I ended buying a pillow at Mega store for $15 which helped. Hotel only provided light sheets and no heavier bed cover which I found inadequate. Shower was plenty strong must say, however, there was no water on 2 separate days. Room came with a small fridge, but it only worked while you were in the room because you have to insert your room key into an electronic reader each time you enter your room which activates power. So you can't store food in it during the day when you are gone because it will go bad. That didn't make much sense. Like clockwork, a rooster next door would "cockldoodldoo" early every morning endlessly. Not to mention 2 lil dogs would bark all day and night pretty well everyday. Also, there is hostel across the street that hosts late night parties every couple of days so I recommend earplugs if you want to actually sleep. Ok, I get it, it's a party town. Won't return.

I stayed in room 303, the hotel was clean when I first went to check in. The lady behind the counter although having limited English was very polite (my fault for not learning Spanish) in a Spanish speaking country. The hotel room was clean and my bed was made every day for me. The only thing I have to mention which made it not a comfortable stay was the bed after a couple nights started to hurt my back as it was a very hard mattress and the pillows were okay. The other thing which confused me was when I took a shower for the first couple times it was cold because hot left cold right so, I had a couple cold showers.. not to bad being as Mexico is a hot and humid country but then after turning the dial to the right it went hot so bare that in mind. Also the breakfast is located in the illusion boutique hotel which is a 5 min walk at best however for a guy that likes to eat I'd say not the best portion size. But overall its a nice hotel if you are on a budget. Top tip: TAKE EAR PLUGS! Very noisy at night.

My condo was under renovations for the pool this week so I was looking for somewhere nice to stay for the night that had a pool. Upon checking in I went to the rooftop pool to realize there’s no water in the pool and that it was in fact also under maintenance this is very disappointing and I checked out immediately I Feel like I wasted my money. You should be letting people know before they book that the pool is not in use.
