The hotel is pretty small, so we saw the same people at breakfast and by the pool frequently (which was really nice). The rooms were mostly stand-alone buildings (quaint). The room was clean and nicely furnished. We paid extra for the free breakfast. It was really worth the $. Very good options to order. The pool was somewhat small, but it was never crowded. While you are at the hotel, it is beautiful. The beach is about 1/2 mile walk, but you need to walk on the rocky, uneven, dirt shoulder of the road.

Spotless room, comfortable bed, very quiet! Juan Carlos was very welcoming and helpful. Cold filtered water and coffee available all the time. Breakfast was very good “muey bueno” Easy walk to restaurants and 15-20 minute walk to the beach. Very peaceful place to stay!

Very well maintained property and wonderful breakfast. I didn’t give five stars because they missed some of the little things, like providing a rubber bath mat for the shower. The floor tiles appear to be glazed. I almost slipped and fell every time I showered. Also, having to put soiled toilet paper in a wastebasket instead of flushing it is something I haven’t had to do anywhere I’ve traveled at this price range.
