"Beautiful location but make sure to stay at the main hotel Baia el capitano instead of the Hotiday apartment style across the street. It shares amenities but very basic rooms. You will want to be in the main building with the amazing rooftop views but of course, for approx $100-$200 less, you can stay across the street. We regret not reading the fine print on location, as pictures show the main hotel not the apartments. Has access to private beach, walkable or shuttle and breathtaking 180 degree rooftop views on the terrace"
