Hotel San Rafael (Concierge Plaza San Rafael)

Hotel San Rafael, also known locally as Concierge Plaza San Rafael, sits on Veracruz street in the center of Cuyutlan, close to the town's black-sand beachfront on Colima's coast. The property positions itself a step above Cuyutlan's typically modest hotel stock, offering Standard, Ocean View, and Suite room categories rather than the single-tier lodging common in the small beach town. A pool and on-site restaurant serve guests without requiring a walk into town, while the beachfront location puts the surf and Cuyutlan's tide-pool salt flats within easy reach. Free parking accommodates travelers arriving by car, a common way to reach Cuyutlan given its limited public transit connections. Wifi covers the property. Service is attentive relative to the town's other budget options, making the hotel a reasonable mid-range base for families or couples wanting Ocean View rooms without traveling to Manzanillo. Cuyutlan's slower pace, historic salt-production history, and seasonal green-wave bioluminescence give the town a different character from Colima's larger coastal resorts, and Hotel San Rafael's central, beachfront position makes it a practical base for exploring that side of the coast.
