There were ants all over my room, if any water bottle set out they were all over it. No hot water in shower. Was a bit disappointed. Hot tub advertised but they charge to use it.

The hotel is old and needs work but we really liked the colonial style buildings and the size of the complex. Breakfast was decent for what we paid and I enjoyed sitting on our terrace which felt quite private.

We really liked the look of the house. Very Mexican and walkable to lots of shopping and restaurants. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was great to have. The upstairs rooftop was a great place to sit and enjoy the scenery. Beds were comfortable as well. Well furnished kitchen.

Ajijic is a lovely little village that seems to be a meca for retiring ex pats. The people are very friendly and sweet, the food and dining options are fantastic and it is extremely affordable. The lake view is beautiful. Very slow paced!

Ajijic and the surrounding towns are great to Visit or to stay at. It's so nice, many people have decided to move here. Unfortunately, the roads weren't designed to accommodate the amount of people that are there now. Traffic is like living in LA.

The Black & White Coffee Shop in the principal plaza has the best cappachino in town and is a great place to people-watch. The Chili Verde restaurant on the West side of the plaza has the best authentic Mexican food in town. It is a vibrant town!
