Hotel Santa Fe was the perfect hotel for my wife and me, but it is definitely not for every traveler. Don't stay here if you are looking for the super touristy, beach front, 5 star experience. Stay here if you want a quiet, out-of-the-way location with friendly service and cleanliness. Most of the other guest were Mexicans, and the staff did not speak perfect English. The staff was friendly, and we were never hassled to do a time-share tour. The rooms are little on the shabby side, but very clean, with maid service everyday. The super-mini and deli downstairs were very convenient. I would NOT call the neighborhood a slum, (like a previous reviewer did.) It was just a local neighborhood, felt adequately safe at night. The beach is a walk, but not too far if you like walking. There are many small, local restaurants around the neighborhood that were very good (in fact, the only time my wife and I got sick was when we ate at a touristy beachfront restaurant.) There is also an excellent coffee shop one and a half blocks north, and one block east. My wife and I prefer local establishments, and even though the Santa Fe is owned by another one of the big resorts, it has a local feel, and if you don't need to be pampered, and you'd like to save a little money, stay here.
