I recommend Hotel Zicatela Dorada. Great monthly rate. They accept credit card. The location is exceptional. Very spacious room with a mini refrigerator and great A/C. The room was cleaned several times a week. Beware wifi is non-existent outside of coworks in Zicatela and La Punta. Even Telcell cellular data is low signal. I also heard the the lack of hot water is normal in Zicatela. I found the staff helpful and accommodating.
