What a find. Just the most tranquil getaway for a few days. The grounds are amazing and the ocean view rooms are amazing, the view is panoramic. Quiet nights just the waves for company. Perfect. The Restaurant does some good fare but its a bit basic. There are two or three places nearby as an alternative.

I loved the ambiance and the atmosphere. So relaxing. Try the alcohol mixed drinks. The fried fish wasn’t fresh. A bit dry and the pool could have been cleaned more, other than that. I loved everything. I would also suggest going on the canoe ride.

Great stay!

My family and I had a really good time at this hotel! The staff was super nicer and let us check in early with a free upgrade. The restaurant at the hotel has amazing food as well. We enjoyed going down to the beach for a bit and then hopped over to the pool. There really isn’t anything to do in that area of ES so if you want a low key stay , this is the spot!

Great place to stay

This hotel was probably the nicest of the hotels in this area. It is located way off the beaten path nestled along the famous black sand beaches. Most like about hotel Estero is the safari like setting with a few animals that can be viewed throughout the property. Another great aspect are the many relaxation spots throughout the property. We also like the many swimming pools and were allowed guest/family to visit without issues. The food at the restaurant was ok and there wasn’t many choices nearby so we had to drive quite a ways to find the good food. The only other hassle was coming back in late, and having to find someone to open the gate for parking.

As in many properties, there are things to like and to complain about. we will mentioned a couple of things noticeable for othres to consider, On this stay were a group of 8 adults and 1 child and 2 rooms. We were not given the password for wifi. It was until later we learned from dinner waiter we should have. They will give 1 password for person and only individually-inconveniently. The AC in one room was not working and it took 2 hours, in the mid afternoon heat (95 degrees F) and high humidity to fix. The tech a ill mannered and ill tempered man, was trying to blamed us customers saying someone playing with clicker will make AC Malfunction. It just saw happens it needed freon, which he ended up having to do and we were very displeased. a few other little things, but in all we give it a 2.5 stars this visit They should always cater and be nice to visitors, never blamed them for something, specially when it is not true!
