The room was spacious and clean. The common areas were nice and clean and well kept. The pool was lovely. There is a restaurant on site and all the food I tried was very good. All the staff are extremely helpful, kind, and professional. The hotel is on the far end of town so it’s very quiet and private, yet you’re only 50 feet from the beach. It was a pleasant day and I would go again.

I love this quaint little hotel on the perimeter of El Paredon. Great pool, friendly staff and 2 minute walk to the Pacific Ocean and beach. You must try the ceviche. The rooms are ok and note the shower isn’t hot but the temperature was 31 Celsius so it was ok. The vibe is welcoming here and you’re a short walk into town.
This ceviche is very good.
The breakfast is delicious.
Coffee with a view.
Drink by the pool. Por que non ?
