Perfect location. We booked this place as a last minute option as everything was sold out or pricey for our budget, but it was clean and the air conditioning was excellent. I highly recommend it for the budget travelers.

Very conveniently located near restaurants and just a couple of steps from the beach. Nicely decorated rooms and the entire property was very clean. The only downsides would probably be the limited hours of staff service and the loud surroundings during night times. I would definitely come back.

The place i stayed over exceeded what my expectations were. I really just need a place to crash after a night of drinking. It was safe, and very close to where i was. I will be going back to that place next year.

Great property for the convenience. We booked the luxury suite which offered a private bathroom and had a small living room area. For the price, it’s well worth it. Instructions are very clear and the staff was very helpful. Not much parking if you’re traveling with a large group.

Overall we had a great experience. The only concern we had was with the lock on the door as it would intermittently not lock. Trim on door had wood rot so I believe this was the issue. Other than that the location was super safe, cared for and very conveniently located.

When I want to book this trip it showed a picture of a cabin. I don't normally spend eighty dollars for a hotel room in latin america , so my Expectations were high. After waiting till 3 to get my room.They gave me what looked like a dorm room with a shared bathroom.. I was really hot and sticky from traveling and it was.There was no towel right as they got there.They poured chlorine in the pool and said no one could go in. Later the toilet was stuck up with someone else's 💩 Oh, by the way, they play Live music next door. Which pretty much rocks the place. Again the problem I had initially was they show a picture of a room that they don't give you. When you Check-in, then you offered me. Pay more cash for a room that reflects the photograph. Almost midnight now. And very loud outdoor bar scene next door..

A clean and convenient place to stay right in el Tunco, walking distance to surf, shops, restaurants, etc. No hot water, but that is expected in the area. It was worth it to pay a little extra for a private bathroom. Pool was nice and clean with nice outdoor lounging areas. My only complaint is that the bed was mediocre for comfort.

Truly an awful experience from start to finish. We arrived at 8AM hoping to leave our bags, park, and possibly check in early. We understand early check in isn't always possible, but we were hoping to ask and pay an extra fee. Unfortunately, there was no reception available until after 11AM. While waiting, we had to move our car several times since every space blocked in other cars. When we finally check in, the receptionist gave no information about the property, wifi, etc. The room itself was fine, though was not as pictured on Expedia. It had a shared outdoor bathroom which would have been fine if we expected this, but we didn't. The room itself had no hooks to hang anything and had stains on the sheets. The final straw was when we needed to leave to visit a relative and our car was trapped in. It took 2 hours for the staff to find the owner of the car and let us out. Why they offer parking if you can't use your car, we don't know! I wouldn't recommend staying here if you want privacy, service, or to use your car at all! There are many other options nearby that are a better value. In fact, we did not finish our stay and instead went elsewhere to salvage our trip.
