Reviews of Cabañas Telayú

The walk up to the hotel is really only 5 minutes it’s easy, and once you’re there, the view is spectacular!! We loved our stay here, it’s amazing for the price. Pool is also really nice, and there’s a filtered water machine with cold or hot drinking water.

When we arrived in town we struggled to find the property. I called and messaged them so many times over 3 hours with no answer, we just had to go have lunch in town and wait for them to get back to us. Keep in mind, the hotel is slightly dated, however it’s very fairly priced with such an amazing view. I recommend parking by the visitors centre and walking up.

beautiful view, clean and nice common areas (sun terrace, pool), air conditioning

-the way to the hotel after sunset is a bit scary, no lights -hair dryer and wardrobe hangers would be nice to have

The location is great but it comes with a well worth cost of climbing some steps

WiFi wasn’t working, had to leave a day earlier and move elsewhere to finish a deadline at work

We absolutely loved the view. Every day it was like waking up in paradise. Pool was a very comfortable temperature. Rooms were relatively simple, but we spent most days at the beach anyway so that was fine. Great value for money.

The bed has one of those plastic covers around the mattress, while this is sanitary, it’s uncomfortable especially with the heat. The pillows were also really uncomfortable and made me and my bf wake up with a stiff neck every morning. The bed was directly under the AC which also isn’t the most comfortable and healthy as it gave me an AC cold.

Loved the view, the pool, our little balcony, and the overall vibe of the property. It is high up a hill so you do have to hike up and down - fine with me but not suitable for anyone with disabilities. The bed was a bit small for two people, but it was comfortable enough. Worth it for the views.

Small bed and the bedding could have been more comfortable.

Lovely pool and view of the sea.

The beds felt like strange blow up mattresses with mattress topper. Was fine but not the best

The view, the pool and friendly staff

Dangerous roads to walk either from the cemetery (very slippery) or stairs entrance (100+). Building is neglected (bathroom, pool). Beds were not comfy

Good location, walking distances to both beaches and the town. Host was helpful when asking for travel tips to next location.

There is not hot water, which isn’t a huge deal in 30 degree heat. They did run out of water though, which meant the showers, sinks, toilets etc were out of order.

View and location

Access was a little challenging but we managed. It was worth the effort 👌

The views from our room were breathtaking and the accommodation was walking distance from the beach and the main areas of the town.

The shower had no hot water. We had to pay for our stay onsite and not via booking.com. When we got there we were told that we'd need to pay an extra 5% to use a card and there are only 2 ATMs in Mazunte and they generally don't work. According to the Comisión Nacional para la Protección y Defensa de los Usuarios de Servicios Financieros (CONSUDEF), it is not permitted for vendors to charge any extra commission on card payments. When we confronted them about this, they told us that it does not apply to them since they're not using a bank. I checked with CONSUDEF and it does, in fact, apply to them.

The hotel has a great view and it's a nice place to get away from the heat below - sit by the pool and feel the breeze. The staff are very kind and helpful.

As many have said, it's a real hike to lug luggage up the stairs, but it's only once! Note - "mountain view" means you face away from the amazing outlook and sort of into some trees. It's not terrible, but it's not a "view".

Beautiful view from your room. Having a pool to relax in Friendly staff A refrigerator and microwave in the lobby

Having breakfast included or available would be nice and access to getting a coffee on the property. There are a lot of stairs to reach the property.

View was stupendous. The hotel was beautifully decorated, the room was comfortable, pool was nice.

Difficult to find. Needs better signage.

Comfy bed, great balcony with a view and nice to have air con! The view is amazing and it’s nice to have a pool! Would stay again.

Bit hard to find and it doesn’t say that if you’re driving in there’s a really steep road in so beware of that. Otherwise if you’re walking it’s located centrally but a walk up a hill to get there.

Very beautifull view

The views are amazing! The rooms are nicer than they look and the hammocks on the balcony are the best.

It’s a bit of a hike getting there.

This hotel is obviously an ongoing labour of love, apparent by all the small details around the building. It has a wonderful cabana/terrace with beautiful sweeping views where you can relax in loungers or hammocks after a dip in the pool. Also the rooms all have balconies with views. Set up in the hills surrounded by nature.

The only drawback for some people would be the inconvenience of not having parking at the door. There is free parking at the tourist office at the bottom of the hill but then there’s a walk up a road and about 100 steps or more up to the property. Not recommended for anyone with suitcases but perfect for people who travel lightly (we had backpacks) and adventurers as this is a little oasis set above the town. We are in our late 60’s and had no issue with the climb.

The view from the hotel is amazing (and well worth the few steps up there!). The pool was a great addition on a hot day and the staff are lovely, they cleaned our room everyday and made sure the refillable water was always topped up.

Nothing! If you need to borrow items from the kitchen you can ask, but there is a missed opportunity for a breakfast up on the balcony as there are great views and lots of furniture :)
