    We would have really loved having a coffee maker (since we're early risers and love coffee first thing in the morning) and mini fridge in our room to store milk for our baby but they had provided a solution for it...so no big deal really.

    We came here for 3 nights and ended up extending it to 7 nights. The location couldn't have been better. Their restaurant is superb! Housekeeping upto the mark, infact quite impressive! The staff is very friendly and goes above and beyond to make sure you got all what you need. I'm an architect and I could tell the villas and rooms and the whole site planning is done in a very sustainable, and climate friendly way. Even in such a hot weather, we didn't feel the need for an air conditioner. It was always cool and breezy. The bathroom is so well designed and I really appreciate the architecture. All the rooms are sea facing so that's brilliant. The staff is very cool and easy. Thank you!

    It could be helpful with a larger safe to store laptop - but not a big deal. The staff was kind to store it for me.

    The location is fantastic, and the staff very helpful and welcoming. The restaurant was very nice, and I enjoyed my mornings with an wonderful breakfast with view to the pacific. Gracious staff and amazing place.

    Perfect beach getaway - will be back

    Nothing - whats not to love its right on the beach, food is great, drinks are great, staff are great.

    Wow - what an amazing place. I would highly recommend staying here. The location is exquisite (if you want on the beach quiet space) we LOVED it. Would highly recommend. You can get the bus to Mazunte or Zipolate for just 10 peso (taxi back is around 100-200) if you want a bit more choice but why would you..... the beach here is perfect and you are right on it. I noticed other guests said no hot water - we never had this problem, although they did mention if we did when we checked in just to let them know and they would sort it (so obviously read their reviews and react) The staff were amazing, food fantastic (try the sweet bread with avocado, bacon, cheese and egg for breakfast - amazing) and cocktails extremely moreish. The cleaners must watch you as I never saw then but our room was cleaned to an amazing standard every day. Thank you to all the staff - especially Olympia and Oesus (no idea on spelling) - it really was the perfect stay. We will be back next year it was that good xx

    The only complaint was the hot water lasted 3 minutes so you need to take a fast shower or you are having a cold shower. The restaurant there had very limited food so I never ate there. The drinks were okay to good

    I thought the location was good if you like to be a 15 min to 20 min walk from the main town. there were plenty of restaurants where we stayed within walking distance of 5 min

    Our palapa was just in front of the beach with nothing but the ocean to watch from our terrace all day. Olimpia and the staff are absolutely lovely people. They treated us excellent and Carlos and Alejandro from the kitchen were even sweet enough to make special little things for our one-and-a-half-year-old baby boy. We recommend Cabañas Punta Placer all the way!

    Nothing

    Had the best time at Punta Placer - the hotel and location are so stunning and really relaxing - the photos aren't enough to convey the beautiful direct access to the beach. Loved all the small details like the foot baths outside each room so you didn't get a sandy floor, the pretty lighting at night and daily room cleaning. The staff were so friendly and also went above and beyond, making me a meal off-menu when I was feeling unwell, we really appreciated it and cannot wait to return one day!

    The lack of A/C was a bit tough at this time of year (the hottest), though I guess that depends on one's personal level of comfort. Food and drink are provided independently, so guests need to settle their tabs (in cash) at least daily. It would have been nice to have one bill for my entire stay.

    Fantastic location right on the beach. Really beautiful and relaxing hearing the surf roll in. All rooms have a porch with hammock, and views of the water. It's really a pleasant, calm and private setting, and feels a little more upscale than other properties in the area. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive and the room was kept clean. A really good value.

    the only thing that could improve is the breakfast, maybe offering some more sweets, like simple biscuits or bread with home made marmelade would be a nice addition

    it’s one of the few places in Mexico with some authentic flavor. Lovely cabañas, warm water, wonderful view.

    No Air conditioning... understandable that A/C is not available due to the open concept. However, was really hot at night and hard to sleep. Also wish we could use credit card rather than cash, to pay for food and drinks.

    Location!!!! So close to the beach. Loved the beach chairs, umbrellas, and hammocks. Food from the restaurant on-site was amazing! Love seeing the local dogs running, playing up and down the beach each day.

    I could think a very long time without finding anything to complain about. I could complain about the ruckus made by the boat-tailed grackles in the morning, but that's not under the control of the business now, is it?

    The location was phenomenal, the cabaña was beautiful, and the staff went out of their way to accommodate our desires. We would happily recommend this place the people we love the most. I hope the memory of sleeping to the sound of the nearby surf never leaves me.

    Beautiful beach front area and deckchairs + umbrellas to use. Beach front bungalows look amazing, unfortunately we only got the family bungalow, which was directly in front of the road and next to a place where they emptied freshly caught fish. Hence, it was rather loud and sometimes a bit smelly. But: the view from the bathroom paid off.

    For the price, one would have expected breakfast to be included but it was ok that it wasn’t.

    Gorgeous beachfront location, I could have stayed in the hammock on the terrace all day! The room was spacious and comfortable, while there was no aircon the sea breeze kept us cool and the mosquito nets were appreciated! The owner was extremely helpful, he planned an amazing whale watching tour, turtle release and lagoon tour around Ventanilla for us - nothing was difficult for him!
