Top Playa El Tunco Hotel Reviews

Posada Luna

10/10 Excellent

"What a charming hostel. Walking distance to everything beach, food, shops. Room immaculate, beds comfortable, bathroom large. Eddie is the man always available to help with extra towels, directions. Cleaning staff on point did a great job. Cute pool."

Casa de Mar Hotel And Villas

10/10 Excellent

"The environment they have created at the hotel is nice. The staff are very friendly, very helpful. The rooms are nice and clean. Beds are comfy. The shower head could’ve been better. Breakfast is very good. The dinner at the restaurant is exceptional. The outside could’ve been swept in a little cleaner, but it was OK."

Beach Front Room at Playa EL Tunco Surf Spots La Bocana and Sunzal

10/10 Excellent

"Communication with check in was seamless, they reached out via WhatsApp in advance and were very helpful locating the property and getting us what we needed! It was very warm and the AC was very nice to have! Great location, there is a restaurant/bar just to the side that does play louder music in the evening but didn’t seem to hear in once we were in out rooms. Lots of great outdoor seating available to hang out with the best ocean view in town!"

VUE by The Cabins

8/10 Good

"I booked this stay through Expedia and arrived around 3 PM for check-in. The property is absolutely adorable and tucked away in a quiet side street right by the ocean. The location is amazing with everything bein within a 1–5 minute walk, and the pool area is especially beautiful with palm trees, lounge chairs, and a very relaxing vibe. What I loved: •Easy check-in process with a lockbox (no need to carry a physical key) •Thoughtful arrival touches like two cold bottles of water in the fridge •Fully equipped kitchenette with: fridge, plug-in stovetop, pots and pans for cooking, outdoor drying racks for swimsuits and beach clothes •Quiet atmosphere despite being so centrally located •Gorgeous ocean-adjacent setting with a peaceful pool area Important tip (very important!): •Google Maps will NOT take you directly to this exact property so you’ll need to navigate to a nearby hotel or landmark and walk the rest of the way •I recommend arranging a drop-off close by and confirming directions ahead of time A few downsides: •Only two towels provided for a 2-night stay, and no extras were available when requested •No hair dryer or face cloths provided •Shampoo and soap in the shower were not labeled •Shower water never got warm Overall: Despite the small issues, I would 100% stay here again. The location, privacy, and overall beauty of the property outweigh the drawbacks. It’s peaceful, walkable, and truly a hidden gem. Just be prepared for a few basic amenities to be limited."

Santorini Village - Hotel Boutique

10/10 Excellent

"Me hospedé recientemente en Santorini Village y, sinceramente, mi experiencia fue muy diferente a algunos comentarios negativos que había leído. Encontré las instalaciones limpias, ordenadas y bien cuidadas. El personal fue amable y atento durante toda mi estadía, siempre dispuesto a ayudar cuando lo necesité. Las habitaciones coincidían con las fotografías publicadas y el ambiente es tranquilo, ideal para descansar. Respecto a la ubicación, antes de reservar revisé bien la información y en ningún momento se indica que sea un hotel frente al mar. La playa, restaurantes y la zona turística de El Tunco están a una corta distancia, lo que permite disfrutar del lugar sin el ruido constante de la zona más concurrida. Considero que algunos comentarios no reflejan la realidad que yo viví. Recomiendo a quienes estén interesados que visiten el lugar y formen su propia opinión. En mi caso, recibí exactamente lo que se ofrecía en la publicidad y quedé satisfecho con mi estancia."
