I had a mixed experience at Illusion Boutique 'Near Beach'. The location was superb, being close to the beach and 5th Avenue, which made it easy to explore. While the breakfast was solid, meal service could be slow at times. Unfortunately, my room had a few issues with noise and privacy, which detracted from my overall comfort. I'll highlight that the staff was friendly and accommodating, which added a nice touch to my stay.

My room was clean and spacious, but I faced some noise issues due to the hotel’s location over nightclubs. Privacy was also a concern since the window covered by a curtain allowed little light.

The hotel had basic facilities, but the pool was small and there were limitations on available amenities. The breakfast was served off-site, which wasn't as convenient as I had hoped.

I had a really nice stay at Illusion Boutique, with friendly staff and a great location close to the beach and nightlife. The breakfast was delicious, and the rooms were quite comfortable, though I did find the beds a bit hard. The only drawbacks were some noise issues and the lack of furniture in my room, but overall, it was a pleasant experience.

I had a mix of experiences during my stay at Illusion Boutique. While the location is fantastic, just steps from the beach and bustling 5th Avenue, the accommodations fell short of expectations in terms of comfort and privacy. However, the staff was incredibly friendly and responsive, which helped improve my stay overall.

The room I stayed in was very basic and somewhat dark, with shared walls that made it noisy. I also found it cramped compared to what I anticipated, and I wasn't satisfied with the lack of privacy. However, it was clean and had functional amenities like strong air conditioning and hot water in the shower.

The service was superb, with staff members being incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. They arranged a shuttle to a fabulous beach club, making things much easier for me.

The location was ideal, being just 50 meters from the main avenue, which offered easy access to dozens of restaurants and shops, while also being so close to the beach. It truly provided the best of both worlds, although the noise from nearby nightlife can be a challenge for light sleepers.

I encountered some issues with the dining arrangements, as the breakfast was supposedly located in a different hotel that turned out to be closed. When I finally did find a place for breakfast, it was rather basic with long wait times. The quality varied quite a bit.

The hotel had a rooftop pool, which was a refreshing escape and offered nice views. However, there were no operational safety deposit boxes in my room, making me uneasy about leaving my belongings unattended.

My stay at Illusion Boutique was overall a great experience, thanks to its wonderful location and friendly staff. The rooftop view is a fantastic place to unwind in the evenings. However, my room fell short of expectations initially, and the dining options could use some improvement.

The room I initially received was lacking basics like proper curtains and a comfortable bed, which was disappointing. After expressing my concerns, I was moved to a better room that met more of my expectations.

You can't beat the location of this hotel. It's just a minute to the beach and right off 5th Avenue, which is bustling with shops and restaurants. Perfect for anyone looking to be in the middle of the action!

While breakfast was included, the dining experience was very hit or miss. I only tried it once, and the service was quite slow. I felt they could benefit from more efficient operations or offering a self-service option.

The hotel had nice facilities, like a rooftop pool and bar, but it could have been better maintained. The elevators were not functioning at times, which made things a little inconvenient.

During my stay at Illusion Boutique, I loved the very nice location. just a quick two-minute walk to the beach and one minute to the vibrant 5th Avenue. The breakfast options were nice since I could choose from traditional EU/US or Mexican dishes, but the service had a few hiccups. Overall, the staff were friendly and really made an effort to help. especially Ingrid and Cinthya, who were standout team members.
