Haven't posted in awhile but I am considering getting a sleeve to mini GBP with Dr. Illan. I received an email from Bariatric Pal and the hotel they use is Pueblo Amigo Hotel and Casino. I stayed at the Marriott when I got my sleeve 2 years ago. If anyone can tell us about their experience, I would greatly appreciate.

I had sleeve Oct 3 in Mexico amd stayed at Hyatt Place. Very nice. Our driver had to pick up a few patrons from Pueblo Amigo who changed there hotel to Hyatt Place because there rooms smelled of smoke and complained of noise in halls and when walking to front door, the smoke was bothersome.

I never went into Pueblo Amigo myself.

I personally stayed at the Pueblo Amigo Hotel & Casino two weeks ago. It was a 5-star experience for me. I've stayed at many hotels, in Mexico, and across the world. The rooms were modern, clean and spacious. I HATE cigarette smoke and this was absolutely not an issue for me. Sure, if you walk into the smoking room in the casino, you'll smell smoke but you most definitely do not smell it across the hotel or inside the room. The people that work there are very friendly and courteous. The food in their restaurant was inexpensive and tasted delicious.

Here's a picture of their regular rooms:

I personally stayed at the hotel/casino. It was A rated! No smoke smell except in the "smoking" part of the casino. Best service and nice rooms. It was a very pleasant experience! I stayed 11/26/16.

Thank you all for your replies!!! I feel better.

I was one of the first four that stayed on Nov 9 and believe me if it smelled like smoke, I would have packed up. This is a very nice hotel!!! You walk in and the atmosphere is relaxing. The restaurant is there very nice and the casino is to the back for non-smokers. On the side thru like doors are where people smoke in another part of the casino. You don't go thru there, you don't have to have to go near the casino or around if you don't want, your not near smoke. The rooms are very big and nice. I was able to sleep and relax here. I pretty sure you won't smell smoke unless you go in the wrong room. I know that you will enjoy your stay here. Good luck on your surgery!!

Did anyone play at the casino? My mom is asking If I thought she should exchange her money before or just do it there?

Sorry for the late response. I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The suite was big and spacious. The bed was wonderful. I didn't get a chance to go to the casino, but we (my daughter and I) are already talking about going back for a vacation and to visit the wonderful people we met and who are now a part of our family, and we definitely want to stay there again. And this time I want to try to bring my mother.
