Jan 25, 2006 My husband and I stayed at the Hacienda Punta Sam. The rooms were not the Holiday Inn and the food wasn't terrific, however, there's a restaurant 2 doors down or there's a little bus outside the hotel for 45 cents that will take you to town or the ferry. The bar did have limited drinks, however, there was much more than just beer. We bought a bottle and used their mixes. The prices were so reasonable, how could you go wrong. The hotel is right on the beach. They are also making many improvements every week. One month later we went back and took our 3 kids (5,6,8). We had a blast. The resort is in a U shape, so it was easy for the kids to get around and us to keep on eye on them. This little resort has so much charm and such friendly staff and other vacationers. We wouldn't stay anywhere else. We were able to over look the imperfections and just enjoy! If you have questions you can e-mail us.

I checked in at Hacienda Punta Sam on Feb. 22 2006 and checked out one hour later. This is a dump! They did not remodel after the storm. The room still had mold, furniture was damaged and there was no mattress just box springs. The restaurant had no food! The bar had beer only! We were advised the alcohol cost too much. We were advised that they were renting daily rooms to locals. Do not believe the pictures!

For the money, Hacienda Punta Sam can't be beat. Contrary to some comments here, I thought the food was good. It's only a few minutes to Cancun, which is actually kind of nice because it's a little bit removed from all the tourists. It's kind of nice to be away from drunken loud kids and rude people. The water was fifty feet from my door. You won't be that close at some high rise.
