Great stay at Dharma Beach hotel. Hotel was right on the very clean beach, with nice walks along the beach to the cliffs and south to other towns, lots of water activity options there and a short walk to the many restaurants and bars in town

Looks good outside, but not cosy inside at all. The breakfast was ā€œincludedā€, but we ended up paying for that. Was a lot of confusion about it. Problems with water running, with hot water. Wasnā€™t pleasurable experience at all. Staff wasnā€™t qualified to address all the issues.

Todo es increĆ­ble. Para mi es el mejor hotel de MontaƱita. Lo que mĆ”s me gusta son las fiestas en lost. Lo Ćŗnico que no me parece es que en el precio no estĆ”n incluidas las entradas a la fiesta para lost. Eso es lo Ćŗnico malo. Si las entradas estuvieran incluidas en el precio de la habitaciĆ³n fuera excelente!!!

Cunado llegamos pasado el mediodƭa no valƭa el ascensor y tuvimos que subir los 4 pisos por las escaleras. El olor en el baƱo era desagradable. No pudimos determinar si el hedor venƭa de afuera o era alguna tuberƭa interior del baƱo la daƱada. El desayuno correcto y el personal al ingreso y a la salida amables y eficientes. Una pena lo del baƱo ya que en general las instalaciones estƔn en bueno estado y las habitaciones tambiƩn.

The food was delicious, all day happy hour, the restaurant closes at 7, I would recommend the larger rooms as the basic king is not a lot of extra room in it

While on our trip to visit family & friends--Tito recommended staying here! I'm so happy he did. The services are great and it's very apparent they're seeking to cater to global travelers vs. ONLY local guests. I'm writing this on my laptop where my pictures haven't been loaded yet or I'd share them. Suffice it to say I'm picky--EXTREMELY picky. Hotel Dharma did NOT disappoint. My favorite parts: 1) Proximity to beach 2) Cleanliness 3) A/C--many places do not have it 4) Beautiful domes 5) Cafe/restaurant--bread is DIVINE 6) English speaking employee's 7) MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE IS RONNY--he is the pure example of joy & love. He is so sweet & accommodating. If I could pack him up and take him with me I would. Such a happy soul & it comes through in his actions. THANK YOU Ronny! Off for my next adventure. You can not go wrong with Dharma!! *my key card kept getting deactivated so I had to go to counter every night but they were all very accommodating and nice.

VernĆ¼nftiges Mittelklassehotel, das unmittelbar an den Strand angrenzt. Soweit ganz ok. Service und Ausstattung aus unserer Sicht jedoch nicht dem Preis entsprechend. Die Rezeption war lustlos, es gab keine kostenfreien AufenthaltsplƤtze in StrandnƤhe und das FrĆ¼hstĆ¼ck war auch eingeschrƤnkt. FĆ¼r einen Kurzaufenthalt dennoch in Ordnung. Positiv: der Service im Restaurant war sehr nett und bemĆ¼ht.
