This beautiful and tranquil Hotel has a Restaurant onsite serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner and the food is delicious. They have a stage and host live music ALOT, Amazing! The room was quiet and clean, King size beds are very nice and comfortable. Best part.... It was only 3-4 minutes walk to a beautiful beach that had kayak rentals, a food truck, and lots of locals, not an overcrowded tourist spot. I would definitely stay here again!

Overnight stop before the airport next to the sea

An overnight stop before the airport. Had what we needed except a fridge. Breakfast was okay. Beautiful gardens. Easy walk to the beach. Secure parking. We didn’t eat or drink there as it was overpriced.

We love this hotel and its Staff

We love this hotel. It is a short walk to the beach, offers great facilities and had a great restaurant, all at a very reasonable nightly rate. During our stay the hotel had live music several nights. No worries about what to do, the hotel can arrange excellent tours to meet every desire. We loved the staff. They were very friendly, always helpful, knowledgeable, and treated us like family. Villa del Sueno will be our go to stay for a mid winter break in the future.

This is excellent property for the price. A similar hotel right down the street wants twice as much. It has lovely grounds. It is very clean and it is very close to the beautiful flyer at Hermosa. It also has a pool only downside not any electrical outlets to charge the phone and TV is pretty weak. But great service they hooked me up with a fantastic boating excursion super nice and super quiet. I highly recommend this property for your stay here.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay here. This is a nice and quiet location at Playa Hermosa. Easily walk to the beach every day and watch the wildlife including howler monkeys. Uber can take you anywhere else that you need to go. The servers for the restaurant here are fantastic and made our stay even better. Our room was nice but the bathroom would benefit from better lighting.
