Acabo de regresar hoy 26 de octubre 2025 del hotel, el hotel está hermoso y lo están remodelando para que quede aún más hermoso, Es la quinta vez que me hospedo y la verdad no tengo queja en las instalaciones ni el desayuno que está incluido con la reserva, reservamos 4 habitaciones para 11 personas en total, solo que está vez me tocó en recepción una chica con una actitud nefasta, desde que llegamos al hotel llegamos a la 1 de la tarde y la verdad el hotel estaba desocupado, y solo por no hacer la papelería de los vales de los desayunos (por qué lo notamos) y los registros, ella nos dijo que la entrada era hasta las 3 de la tarde, no nos ofreció ni siquiera el resguardo del equipaje,, no dieta a entrar al restaurante a esperar, solo nos dijo que hasta las 3, y se dio la vuelta y nos ignoró, dieron las 3 de la tarde y no hizo por entregar la habitación, solo esperar a que su compañera de la tarde entrara para que ella realizara toda las papelería y el trámite, el caso es que nos entregaron el total de las habitaciones que necesitamos en ese momento hasta las 3:45 de la tarde, 45 minutos más tarde! Pero la verdad ya se había ido la nefasta. La chica de la tarde es un amor y muy servicial. Ya el día de nuestra salida se entregó una habitación un poco tarde (10 min o 15 máximo) pero cuando se entregó (que fue en turno matutino) ella solicitó 100 pesos de penalización por el tiempo excedido, previo a eso yo escuché que fue a preguntarle al encargado del hotel. (Que también es una excelente persona, muy atento y servicial) que cuánto se cobraba por el tiempo excedido y escuché que él le dijo la cantidad. De media hora a una hora eran los 100 pesos. Mi esposa pago cuando entrego la habitación, pero cuando a mi me dijo que le habían cobrado me molesté, por qué ella misma nos hizo esperar para entregarnos, pero a la hora de nosotros entregar no fue nada tolerante. Son las cosas que dejan un mal sabor de boca, ojalá le den un curso o algo de atención al cliente o que se resigne a trabajar como es y que no evada el trabajo. Ya que al parecer se toma las cosas personal, por qué mi cuñada le reclamo la entrega tardía pero igual no hizo nada por remediarlo.

We recently stayed at Hotel Santa Lucía and honestly we had such a great experience. Everything was super clean, the vibe was really nice, and the heated pool was perfect any time of day. The staff was friendly and always helpful. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back! Nos quedamos hace poco en el Hotel Santa Lucía y la verdad nos fue súper bien. Todo estaba bien limpio, el ambiente muy tranquilo y la alberca climatizada deliciosa para meterse a cualquier hora. El staff súper amable y siempre al pendiente. En general, tuvimos una estancia súper agradable. ¡Definitivamente regresaríamos!

Nothing but good things to say. A short convenient walk to the beach. Clean spacious rooms with nice beds. We had breakfasts included and it was filling. Chacala is a Mexican tourist resort and so not many English speakers and only pesos but some credit cards accepted. Nice little getaway bar on the rooftop run by Monica who is bilingual, helpful with ideas and just generally fun to talk to. I like a thin pillow and the pillows were thick so maybe I just need to travel with my own or perhaps I should’ve asked to see if they had other pillows.
