“Very pleasant old-fashioned beachside hotel”
Nice rustic white buildings. Lovely swimming pool for cooling off. Large fridge for putting your own fruit and other food into. Good food served from the restaurant to your room and balcony if requested. Very helpful and friendly staff. The hot water didn’t work in the room we were given to begin with, but we were then moved to another even nicer room immediately. The staff arranged taxis for our arrival and departure. The location while being out of Punta Sal town allowed for a less crowded very quiet beachside holiday.
