About this property

Welcome to Hotel EcoBay

Hotel EcoBay is a low-key property situated just a five-minute walk from Bahía de Kino Beach on the Gulf of California. Located in the Centro area of Bahía de Kino, Sonora, it offers straightforward accommodations with easy access to local attractions such as Museo Étnico de los Seris, about 8 km away, and nearby points of interest like Kino Bay Pier and Isla Alcatraz.

The hotel features practical amenities including an outdoor pool, a restaurant, and a terrace. Guests can enjoy free breakfast and complimentary Wi-Fi during their stay. Several reviews highlight the cleanliness of the rooms and the helpfulness of the staff, with mention of keyless entry and security presence contributing to a safe environment. While the property supports a relaxed atmosphere, some guests note that nightly celebrations and music are common, which may influence the level of quietness.

EcoBay welcomes a diverse crowd and is identified as LGBTQ+ friendly, making it suitable for inclusive travelers. Pet owners have appreciated the pet-friendly policy with no additional charges, adding to its appeal for those traveling with animals. The hotel’s location near local shops and the beach, combined with a competitive price point, attracts visitors looking for a convenient and modest stay in the area.

Guests looking for a simple, comfortable base close to the beach will find Hotel EcoBay offers solid value. However, its limited TV channels and occasional noise level suggest it is best suited for those spending most of their time outdoors or exploring nearby attractions rather than seeking a quiet retreat indoors. Check-in begins at 14:00 with check-out at noon, accommodating standard travel schedules.

The Town of Bahia Keno is still very primitive. That being said. The Eco Bay motel was totally acceptable and I would definitely stay there again. There was constant upgrading going on to the premises, but not anything that was bothersome! There is however late night music and Celebration going on every night so be prepared to Party or bring some ear plugs!

We always enjoy Eco Bay. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly and always helpful. They have helped us with many things from lending a knife in the night to cut some fruit or a bottle opener to open a bottle of wine. Security is on staff so you always feel safe. We highly recommend the hotel. We just wish the breakfast still came with the nightly room cost.

The bed was a foam mattress, not too hard not too soft but just right, the pillows were the same as the mattress. The shower was great it had good water pressure. The room had keyless entry. Not too far from the beach and priced right for the day, it’s more if it’s more than one person and depending on the day. It has a pool are that looked nice and the breakfast boofei was ok. Overall not bad but it’s my first time and haven’t stayed in other hotels in the area to compare. Just comparing it to other hotel stays.

Cute place to stay! My family has been visiting EcoBay for years, staff is attentive, rooms are cozy, and the pool lounge is very neat and Instagram story worthy. -They provide free internet that is almost always fast. -TV does not come with many channels, but no one really watches TV nevertheless if you're spending your day at the beach. -Only two towels provided, but will not hesitate in bringing you more if you ask politely. -Might be noisey at times. -Affordable and adequate pricing. -No "do not disturb" signs, and staff may come in at random times. -Showers are big, but there's only cold and warm water. -Near the pier, beach, and convenience stores.

Stayed here several nights with my dogs. In a convennient location in Kino Viejo near food stores and a 5 minute walk to the beach. Photos are representative of the property. There is free wi-fi but the cable TV has less than 7 stations all in Spanish. Room was clean with hot water. Main reason I selected this place is because it is pet-friendly with no additional charges (as is common in many Mexican hotels/motels) and the price was right. Restaurant open only for breakfast; there are plenty of eateries in the area.
