My husband and I have stayed several times (5 - 6) at Los Girasoles for up to a month at a time. This is a small family run hotel (15 - 18 rooms) which is very personable yet provides privacy to guests at the same time. The rooms are spacious, well-appointed, clean, secure and pretty. The location is set back one block from prime entertainment areas in downtown Cancun, allowing for quiet nights "at home". Some of the rooms have kitchenettes which staff will furnish with the basics upon request. If you have any special reqests, if within their means staff will provide it. Los Girasoles is an excellent alternative to staying in the Hotel Zone. It's central location is walking distance to all categories of restaurants, shops, a large Mexican department/grocery store, an active Mexican plaza-park ("Parque de las Palapas"), the famous "Mercado 28" outdoor market and, last but not least, an easy walk to catch a bus to the beach. Finally, a double is very economical at under $40 USD per night. When at Los Girasoles I particularly enjoy getting to stay in and savor the flavor of Mexico while still enjoying the amazing beaches of Cancun. If the above sounds like what you're looking for, I highly recommend you try it. S., Massachusetts
