Hotel Casavieja

We stayed two nights here. I don’t have much to add from my own pictures to the pictures already available, though it’s so classic and elegant I was moved to take pictures. The rooms are excellent with fine lighting, electricity and shower. The bed was comfortable and there were extra blankets, pillows and a space heater we didn’t need. We had some liquor and wanted to make our own drinks, so we requested ice at the front desk. They brought it over promptly from the restaurant. It’s true that the associated restaurant is not within the hotel but 100 feet away across the street. We had a dinner and 2 breakfasts there and things were delicious and well priced. The wine was good, from Baja California (possibly not up to French standards, but what is?). The sweetness and graciousness of the personnel , though, dominated our experience. They were all eager to help and explain anything. They arranged a car to pick us up at the hotel to go to the Tuxtla airport, after trying several possibilities for us. A smooth and comfortable delight, confirming once again the hospitable and caring nature of the Mexican personality.

Stayed here as part of a coach tour. Beautiful building with lush courtyards of plants and water features. Bedroom was was upstairs. The passageway was covered but open to views of the courtyard. Opposite my window was a wall which made my room dark. Dark furniture added to this. The bedroom and bathroom were tired. Breakfast was taken in another building opposite. Good location. Very good breakfast
