We booked because it looked great on the pictures, very disappointed to find out it’s not as advertised. The property is run down, there was construction happening, a funky smell throughout the building, moldy curtains in our room, a few of the exercise equipment were broken, and is located so far away from everything. The property is advertised as being 6 min away from the malecón which is not true, it’s 20 minutes by car which costs more if you’re taking a taxi or Uber. I will say the ocean view was pretty good but not enough to keep us there. We stayed one night because we didn’t have anywhere else to go, and had to find another accommodation for they rest of our stay, we communicated with Expedia about this but apparently the hotel refused to take any responsibility for the state of the place and offer no refund at all. I wouldn’t recommend it at all.

The property was nice and clean. Room was very spacious and equipped with a full refrigerator, microwave and 2 burner stove. Small balcony over looking the beautiful beach and ocean. The activity direct was a delight. The housekeeping staff was great. I found all the staff to be nice and friendly but I also felt like they were always in your business. I personally prefer to wheel my own luggage to my room but that was absolutely not allowed at Costa Sur even after I asked them if I could please just handle my own bag. I was told no. I had family staying at a nearby hotel and I needed to deliver some things over to them. I used a suitcase to transport the items. When I asked the bellhop for a cab he would not call me one unless I went back in to the front desk and told them I was leaving. I said WHAT??? Literally 1 of the 3 argued with me and refused to call over a cab to take me until I told the front desk where I was going with luggage. I told them it was absolutely none of their business where I was going and why I had a piece of luggage. We were literally at a 6 minute stand still until the female bellhop walked inside to reception and then reception phoned the bellhop stand and told them to call over a cab for me. For this experience alone I would never ever stay at this hotel again. Later that same day when I returned the younger bellhop wearing a red shirt apologized for what happened earlier. He was not the bellhop that was demanding I get approval in order to leave

Refurbished room was ok and most of the staff was nice. The lobby market was convenient. However, very bad experience. Hotel is old (as evidenced by the tiny 2-person elevators). Old uncomfortable bed. Shower either boiling or freezing. Air conditioner inadequate. Sewer smell. Food was awful and made me instantly sick one day after a few bites. Luckily the restroom was nearby. Tiny pool area with not nearly enough loungers and umbrellas. No sand beach as advertised-rock beach with a few small patches of sand. Not worth the price.

We really enjoyed the heated pool, and the activities they offered. Food was not great at restaurant and many people complained about being sick. Not sure if that’s a Mexico thing or what. We are plant based eaters so selection was very limited.

Didn't realize this was a time share property. The check in process was terrible. We were told we had to go talk to this lady who would give us drink tickets and tell us about the amenities of the hotel. She kept us there for half an hour trying to get us to sign up for a time share breakfast presentation. We told her we had food poisoning (which was true) and couldn't make it and she still made us sit there while she tried to convince us to sign up. The hotel itself was old and run down and not clean and falling apart. The restaurant service was not great. There was consistently bird poop on all of the pool chairs and the staff acted annoyed when you asked them to clean it off. There were ants in the room. The hotel itself is inconveniently located 15 minute drive from town. There was a lot of road noise and I had to sleep with ear plugs. The AC was shotty at best. There was bird poop all over the balcony of our room. The bed didn't have actual sheets, but just the slip cover so the mattress was exposed.

Big disappointment. Costa Sur is a tired and outdated resort. It’s noisy, the sewer smell lingers in the air and the dining facilities are limited and slow. I’ve never experienced such old and worn out towels. They were rough and frayed around the edges. This resort is in need of a major overhaul. I can’t recommend nor would I ever return to stay.
