Our stay was great! From the moment we walked into the lobby the staff greeted us and was friendly. The breakfast was delicious. Coffee and tea were available in the lobby all day. The bar by the pool was a nice addition. They made us a delicious strawberry daiquiri. Would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Excelente hotel en Montañita
Excelente trato del personal, buena ubicación, lejos de la zona más ruidosa de Montañita. Desayuno aceptable. Mi única queja sería que no había ni un vaso. El precio muy bueno, claro era temporada baja.

The hotel is very clean and the staff is amazing! However, the jacuzzi was impossible to get in because it was way too hot and the white walls of the property need maintenance. The breakfast was not good, I do not recommend. But the cocktails at the bar were amazing!

Amazing hotel and stay!
Very beautiful hotel. Close to shops and food. Great service - breakfast was delicious (coffee, fresh fruit, eggs, yogurt etc). Steps away from the beach. Our rooms had a gorgeous view of the beach!

Stylish oceanfront property
Great stay at this hotel. Comfortable bed, clean room, beautiful views and sounds of the Pacific just steps away. Delicious breakfast served by friendly staff. One area for improvement: Pool and hot tub could both be warmer. Overall, very happy and would recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We enjoyed the facility itself. Very modern and well maintained. Beach front property! There was some renovations being done the first two days of our stay around the pool area. Some early morning loud bar music played until early morning hours (6am) which made it somewhat hard to sleep at night especially in the oceanview rooms. Overall beautiful property.

Amazing staff, especially, Mauricio Pochettino! He was gracious and attentive! Great place right on the beach and walking distance to eveything. Only one suggestion: my room could have used a table and a couple of chairs, but I highly recommend!
