By Land Cruiser to Breakfast / Posh but Bonkers!

This is the craziest hotel I have ever stayed in. Our double room was in fact a two storey house complete with two levels & two balconies. Fixtures & furniture were all first class & in Spanish American style. The air-con system, however, was impossible to fathom & the hotel could not provide us with something as simple as a hair dryer. Location is the main problem here. The resort is set on a steep hillside above San Juan del Sur & many of its house are high above the reception area reached only by a stiff climb or by the hotel's fleet of Land Cruisers! To get to breakfast it is necessary to call reception and ask for a ride down. Sure, there is an infinity pool but do you want to be driven there & back!? Crazeee!
