"I would highly recommend spending a little extra for a room with a private pool. We made great use of ours, along with the spacious balcony. The room itself was a good size, clean, and comfortable. Because it’s a smaller property, the hotel felt quiet and relaxed, and the main pool and beach area were never crowded. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the bed was very comfortable — it was also extremely quiet at night, making for a great sleep.
We enjoyed the food at the hotel restaurant, though we found it quite expensive — roughly double the price of similar meals in La Crucecita, which is about a 10-minute taxi ride (around 100 pesos). There are also a few restaurants within a 15–20 minute walk if you prefer to stay nearby. A kettle or microwave in the room would have been a nice addition for making tea or heating small items.
The hotel has a unique look and lots of character, surrounded by trees, lush vegetation, and birds. The hillside location offers amazing views — my favorite moments were watching the sunrise from the balcony, taking a morning dip in the private pool, and listening to the birds. While the property is older and could use some updates, it was clean and full of charm, which mattered more to us than a modern but characterless resort."
