Me gustó la vista al Océano, pero lo que no me gustó fue los Baños, cuando uno se está bañando, la regadera no tienen puertas y eso hace que tola el agua salga y se moje todo el piso del Baño y uno tiene que estar secando el piso.

The view is absolutely beautiful. We couldn’t get to the beach but it is walkable through the rocks when the tide is low. Great value for the price.

Really, really satisfied...
This place is a gem. There are other bigger properties around but I doubt the service is as personalized as this little place. The staff is simply amazing. Front desk Edigo was as helpful and amiable as only he can be. One of the reasons I like small properties is the service and I got it here. The pictures on the website do not give this place enough justice. The place is beautiful. It's right on the water. The entrance is not what you would expect but all you have to do is blow your horn and voila, the gate will open. 😀 The breakfast though limited was great. The cocktails could use improvement but the drinks were acceptable. There are stores around where you can buy water and soft drinks for a cheaper price. Surf City is still under construction but there are plenty of places to eat and drink. I will definitely return to this area and property.

Except for the morning bar/restaurant employee, Karla, I believe her name is, everyone seemed to not care about guests; especially the evening crews, and mainly the receptionist! Property pool is misleading as there is no tree in the pool. We paid for a room looking to the ocean but evening receptionist tried to push a hidden room. Towels were old and smelly; floor smelled so bad that we could not sleep at night; nothing to wash your hair with, except a small 3oz shower gel which was of the cheapest quality. When we asked receptionist for a small shampoo or soap bar, he said he'd deliver to our room but never stopped by ( so frustrating!) Road to get to hotel is so hidden only locals probably knew how to get to; so bumpy and rocky that even our truck had some difficulty getting there. DEFINITELY, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND OR VISIT AGAIN

We were able to take Uber to this property. They served a typical breakfast, coffee, orange juice scrambled eggs beans fried bananas. This was included with the stay. Other meals we ate there were good. The room was small. Our room was on the back side with only a small window in the bathroom. Rooms on the ocean side had sliding glass doors. Air conditioning was great. Pool was on the small side but not overcrowded and felt great to cool off.Cold water showers which is typical. Good selection of alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks. We didn’t leave the property and felt safe. Staff was attentive and used google translation. For the price it was worth staying there.

Dont waist your time here....
The road into the hotel is horrible. You will damage your car its more for a 4x4. Hotel check in @ 3pm. Food was horrible and expensive. Breakfast not good. The service from the waitresses was great but its not their fault they only give out a poor breakfast. Liquid beans, crema, scrambled eggs n a roll. Coffee n Tang Orange flavor for drinks. Bar doesn't have much at all. They will not let you bring in food or beverages into the property. They only want to sell you what they have to offer which is not much. Rooms have no space at all. No where to put your luggage and also no hangers or closet. NO SAFE. No hair dryer and iron. If you want something ironed its a $1 per ítem. They only give you 2 small towels. Cant even sleep at night they have the music very loud from 8am till 11pm when they leave. The owner definitely needs to invest more in this place. Lots of customers left furious. Poor management. This place is not a 4.1 it should be a .1

Pretty basic hotel and room. The view is great, the waves crashing are pretty loud but it was white noise to me. The room i stayed at was super basic, the condensation from outside leaked in through the door, the curtain to cover the glass door was broken, the toilet also leaked, the shower curtain didnt keep the water in and the floor got all wet. No hot water for the shower. The location is fine, 5 min drive to town. Other than that the staff was pretty frindly.
