Aora San Pancho

The staff who work at the facility were wonderful. And it’s very pretty, however the room is very uncomfortable. It’s hard to conceptualize until you are in the rooms, but they are simply two narrow hallways-L shaped and then a bed with sliding doors that you have to crawl into -there is nowhere to sit save a tiny dining set, but it’s not a comfortable room. If you’re 20, it would be a really neat concept however, further along my life, I would prefer a little more comfort. if you need quiet at night, this is not the place. It’s typical Mexican town so at night you’re hearing a lot of chickens, dogs and motorcycles, etc. The rooms don’t have actual walls. They are glass tiles and windows. The bed has fabric sliding doors. So you are out there in the town.

I really liked the design and thought behind this place however… A HUGE downside is the noise. I had booked 3 nights here, and could only handle 2; being woken up at 3am to the beginning of constant and loud roosters crowing and dogs barking. I sleep with ear plugs and it didn’t help. The second night I tried white noise on my phone and that couldn’t mask the sound either. My boyfriend isn’t a light sleeper, yet he laid awake from 3am onward as well. We ended up leaving after the second night. They denied our request for a refund for the last night. The breakfast was a nice touch. The room is very unique and cool. I think the open air concept is interesting, however unfortunately given the surroundings; perhaps not ideal. All this being said, and despite my disappointment in them not allowing a refund…if you’re a heavy sleeper or a VERY early riser - this hotel is nice. San Pancho is great - I was sad it was my first time there and had to cut it short.

Didn’t like anything about it ! Only left my luggage there and stayed with friends at other hotel after attending a wedding. Would not recommend this place

The unique “ Japanese” design was interesting but not very functional for large pieces of luggage. Breakfast was quite limited and it was disappointing when there is so much wonderful tropical fruit available to be served apples.

Cool eco-driven hotel in up-and-coming San Pancho, but there are literally no walls, so be prepared to hear everything and everyone all night long. People talking on the street sound like they are in your room. The roosters starting up at 530am and barking dogs might as well be in your bed, the sound is right there. They provide ear plugs so that helps, but walls are nice too for sound. Comfortable bed and kind of a fun experience, but just know what you are getting into. Also the room is very, very small.
