Only stayed there one night, location was excellent. It's located in the northern part of the hotel zone, on the lagoon side. No beach, but for $49 (including taxes) a night, I'll settle for the swimming pool. It's almost located half way between downtown Cancun & the "bar scene". Certainly not walking distance to either location, but a good choice... More

Traveled to Mexico with my husband and another couple Oct 17th-27th in 2011, out trip was unexpectedly lengthened thanks to Tropical Storm Rina so we couldn't fly out until Oct 31!

A good advice to you all going to Sotavento hotel...NEVER PAY CASH at the reception desk cause they are going to double charge you through the credit card you use to make the reservation!!!! Beware so that not to be stolen!! More

It's a budget option hotel. North of the main "drag" so a bit of a bus/taxi ride to the main bars/restaurant/clubs area but is in a quiet location off the main road. The restaurant does serve some good food and the hotel provides free wifi throughout which some of the bigger hotels don't to their dis-credit. The rooms are very... More

We just returned from a month long vacation to Tulum, Mexico and needed a two night stay in Cancun at the end of our trip to make getting to the airport more convenient. We chose Sotavento because of the price, primarily....but it has a pool, is in a quieter area of the city but with the local bus connections (look... More
