We only stayed one night at the Dunama, but would definitely return. The setting is absolutely breathtaking!! The staff was amazing, specially the bartender Dillon. Only complaint is the cleanliness. Certain areas need a good deep clean and new linens/towels.

Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Roads nearby were very usable even though it was the wet season. There is a very nice black sand beach a short walk from the hotel (though the stairs a bit treacherous).

Please do NOT stay at this place, does not look like the photos at all. Pillows were yellow, the first room was so dirty, they moved us to a different one that smelled like bleach but was in terrible conditions as well. 🚩 signs all over the property “no refunds” Also Expedia was not helpful at all.
