"La Valise Mazunte is, without question, a stunning property. The design, the views, and the overall atmosphere are exceptional, and the food was a true highlight—the chef is superb and delivers a memorable culinary experience.
However, the service unfortunately falls short of what one would expect from a hotel with such potential. While the staff is genuinely kind and well-intentioned, the hotel feels understaffed and unable to deliver a luxury experience. There is no room service, no minibar in the rooms, and no poolside or beachside service, which makes the stay feel limited—especially given the remote location.
I booked this stay to celebrate my partner’s birthday, and arranging something as simple as a special meal proved unnecessarily difficult. Communication before arrival was slow and required multiple follow-ups, even through Instagram, just to get a response via WhatsApp.
During the stay, service remained inconsistent. The bartender was attentive, but overall service was slow, and staff seemed constrained in what they could offer. The wine selection is also very limited.
The rooms are comfortable, but attention to detail could improve. For example, our room was supposed to include a video projector (the only one on the property), but it was unavailable due to repairs, which we were only informed about upon arrival.
This is a hotel with incredible potential, but currently it feels like it delivers the bare minimum operationally."
