The breakfast menus consisted of two choices. Both were fine for breakfast that was included. The property needs quite a bit of upkeep. The staff were very friendly. They close the gate around 4-5 pm and a security guard needs to open it for you, not a big inconvenience but just something to keep in mind. The hotel shuts down at 9 pm.

Excellent stay at the Dunama Hotel in Playa Flamingo. Rooms cleaned daily, comfortable beds, sliding glass doors to ocean view decks, tasty meals, stairs to black sand beach for swimming and snorkeling. Nice pool and swim up bar, fun lobby with early evening music. Lobby managers can help with arranging offsite sailing, etc.

Staff was absolutely great. Had a poolside room and an absolute blast celebrating New Year’s Eve. We hiked down the private beach several times. It’s beautiful and quiet. Playa Flamingo is only a 10 min walk as well. It’s a popular spot worth checking out. Definitely need to eat at Coco Loco.

Liked: Cleanliness
Staff was nice. Rooms are clean but sparse. Only beds, closet, and counters/ desk. No chairs. There is also NO Elevator and no staff offered to help with bags, so beware that you may be carrying your bags up and down several stairs. The hotel is a short walk to the marina and Playa Flamingo, but note this includes going up and down a very steep hill.

The staff were good/friendly.The one bar/resturant staff, Dylan was exceptional and the one Security Guard was very friendly and helpful. You can see that this hotel was lovely in it's day but it is looking tired now. The pool needs attention and the room bathrooms need a good scrubbing, and the ceiling fans need to be cleaned. The patio furniture needs to be restained. However, the resturant food was very good.

I would give more stars but something you need to know: - The personals are very kind and the location it’s perfect with easy access to the beach - but the resort seems old and looks like doesn’t have enough budget to be maintained to the original looks - the amenities and rooms supplies should be upgraded/replaced

the room and the hotel were nice enough. the best thing about the place is that it has a great beach with nice snorkeling, just right there. we stayed there for 6 nights and they would not clean the room while we stayed. the place is also in need of some serious maintenance. we also had a minor theft (cash and a credit card), that we are pretty certain happened from our room and the mgmt was not very interested or helpful.

I got a room with a nice view. That was about it. The soap dispensers were empty, the room smelled of I don't know what. There was no hair dryer, i asked for one and they said no. The pool water seems quite dirty. When i came back to my room, on the first night my lock broke so i had yo wait 45 mins for someone to break it. Finally moved to a better room with still no hair dryer. The hotel is in a good spot with a nice view. But it is rundown and needs a lot of work. The staff doesn't seem to care or is not overly helpful. Very bad experience thank God i was only there 1 night
