Bullet points seem to be easier to read: Starting with the good... - Very cool website, makes hotel look amazing - The manager of the hotel was very sweet and friendly, welcoming, helpful - Really cool location, on main strip, a block from beach - Starbucks RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET! Now for the truth... - Switched rooms three times and... More

The hotel was ok. Nice location, 5th avenue. Good food. Nice staff. About the noise, it is not loud, you can sleep with no problem. I booked this hotel to have the experience with my wife having that street view from the bed. It is very exciting, but there is too much light from the street, we needed to partially... More

I just returned from my vacation so my observations are still fresh and clear. My husband and I stayed at Basico several years ago (maybe 2006?) when it had just opened and it made a lasting memory in our minds. It is a gorgeous hotel.

I was worried by some reviews on here, but the staff were SOOO friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We had a room with a street... More

When I would leave the hotel to check out the beach bars, restaurants, etc. nothing compared to the peaceful, beautiful, tranquil atmosphere at basico. As a young woman traveling alone I felt very safe. The staff made me feel like... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Basico over the long weekend last February and have been meaning to write a review ever since. We loved the hotel. We’re 27 and 28 years old and I think it is probably best suited for people who are planning to go up to the roof for drinks at night or at least be... More
