Hotel Azúcar

We were in a very calm time at the hotel. Our room was looking a little bit old and not 100% well maintained. As there were not a lot people, in our first day the pool was not clean. But the place at the beach is super nice and good to relax. To the service I can tell, it is not existing. We had some confusion with booking the breakfast. They promised us to give us feedback, if it is included or not. I am still waiting, but we assumed it was not. In general we just saw service people for check-in and check-out.

Quiet and relaxing beach, not too crowded, no kids. We had the whole place to ourselves which was amazing. Rustic and chic design, thoughtful details, love the private outdoor shower. Great service and friendly staffs, the grilled seafood and the margarita are delicious.

I loved our stay at Hotel Azúcar, the staff was amazing especially Max. The food is very tasty and fresh. The rooms are spacious and clean, great functioning A/C and your own hammock in the outside seating space. They close the restaurant at 8:30pm so be sure to call ahead if you’ll arrive afterwards and would like to have dinner.|It was a great weekend.

The rooms are spacious. A little more room for the clothes would be appreciated. The hammoc on the terrace is great! The back door shower is a great idea so you don't bring sand to the room! ||This hotel is not for underage children. It is well appreciated to be relaxed and quiet.||It could be more handicap friendly.||Overall it is a great place to stay and get your money's worth.

The hotel itself is quite nice and the staff in general helpful. The restaurant menu is very limited and not spectacular. Veracruz has amazing cuisine and the hotel owner should look into promoting local gastronomy and re-doing the menu. The menu is nothing special and this needs attention, as well as training in restaurant service.||||The hotel is right on the beach, nice beach but small pool. Seems to be for young couples. Rooms are fine, but bathrooms could use some painting and updating because they're a bit dark.||||Overall nice hotel and beach front access. Again, food is average.

This chic spot is very beautiful and relaxing. They have taken an aesthetic approach enhancing the location. You feel instantly as if you are in a quiet zone. I was taken by the architectural aspects. The downside is that they only have pillows for sitting which can be difficult for older people needing more comfort. Chairs were at a premium. Updates are needed as it is in a tropical zone. I think they ought to stay on top of mold, insect infestation and general upkeep if they wish to stay at the top. We are world travelers and know what makes a place first class. Food is okay. More variety would be good and less expensive wine. It was relaxing but not the best.

This hotel sits amid many many many more hotels side by side on the so called costa Esmeralda on the Gulf of Mexico's coast. I never went inside any of the other hotels but this one for one had a nicer entrance!||The rooms are confortable but minimal very basic. Instead of two lamps by the bed you get two votive candles very romantic. No door for the washbasin and closet. A door for the wc and shower made out of translucent fiberglass. There is astonishly a tv. All caters to a wonderful beach culture with a very spacious terrace and even an outdoor shower. There is one outdoor, thatched roof covered restaurant with very local excellent fare. A good sized swimming pool with lots of cushions and lovely spots to sunbathe. A good choice among many others. The staff is just unbelievably nice and helpful.

Hotel Azucar was a lucky find. It was recommended for a wedding I attended in the area and was the cheaper alternative to Maison Couturier (which is not seaside, but is also an amazing option). Both are mentioned in The Design Hotels Book. Azucar is made up of palm-leaf roofed, white bungalows with direct access to the beach. I stayed in an independent bungalow surrounded by beautiful landscaping with its own patio and hammock, although there were two story bungalows that appeared to have two units. The room was a modern stark white, spacious and simple. It had an outdoor shower to wash off in that led directly into the interior shower. ||||Honestly I spent little to no time in my bungalow and all my time at the hotel in the pool. The white pool deck, with a view of the beach, slopes directly into the white pool, optimal for sun tanning. It’s bright so bring your darkest sunglasses. Around the pool are a few covered cabanas for shade, the bar, and a deck overlooking the beach. It was a short trip and I saw nothing of the local town, but it was an amazing getaway lounging, ordering poolside drinks and grilled octopus (all reasonably priced). While the location is a bit difficult to get to, as there is no close local airport, I would definitely consider going back just to lounge by that pool again.
