Hotel Fenix

Hotel Fenix sits on Hidalgo street in Cuyutlan, a small beach town on Colima's coast known for its black-sand beach and, seasonally, the bioluminescent 'green wave' phenomenon that draws visitors in spring. The property is a modest, budget-category hotel typical of Cuyutlan's low-key character, a contrast to the larger resorts of Manzanillo further along the coast. Rooms come as Standard or Family configurations, simply furnished, and air conditioning is not listed among the amenities, so guests should expect the town's natural sea breeze rather than climate control. An on-site restaurant and pool round out the property's offerings, giving guests a place to eat and cool off without leaving the hotel. Free parking is available, practical for the small town's limited street parking. Wifi covers the property. Service is casual and family-run in character, consistent with Cuyutlan's identity as a quiet alternative to Manzanillo's resort scene. The hotel works well as a base for beachcombing, watching the town's dramatic surf, and, during the right season, viewing the green wave after dark. Travelers seeking nightlife or extensive amenities should look toward Manzanillo instead, as Cuyutlan's appeal is its slower pace and black-sand beach.
