I have been staying at this property for over 15 years now (have stayed there 5 times). The rooms are not as nice anymore due to age I guess, and upkeep, but the hotel grounds are still well taken care of and the front desk is new, very nice. The pool is very small. The three high end hotels across the street (St. Tropez and the others) are a big draw for the area. But Boca Chica overall is not doing well, and now that Hamaca is closed, there is very little going on. The Whala is now the most popular hotel in the are and I tell you, it is horrible. I like Neptunos and would stay here again because of the beach and it’s quiet, and I believe in loyalty, but it is a 3 star for an average traveler (maybe). There are mini bars with water and beer and some rooms have full kitchens. But for this place to be very good again the area has to change and that is not their fault, it’s politics.
