We are so happy we found this hidden gem! Perfect location! A short walk and you are right on the most beautiful Playa Norte. Street food just outside the hotel (get the churros!) So many excellent walkable restaurants, North Garden, Ruben’s, Rooster’s are a must! Malecon begins just a short walk around the beach for an unbelievable scenic walk down the ocean’s edge! Walk to the Tiny Gecko at night it will not disappoint! A cute little bar with live music and great food and a magnificent ocean front view! The pool area is so wonderful! Relax poolside with a breathtaking ocean view. And that ocean breeze!! No swimming in ocean but you can wade in water near rocks and in cove. Located right in town but you will not hear any town noise. They are nestled back just enough to be so close to everything but far enough away. Sunrises by pool are breathtaking.Gorgeous Sunsets! Snorkel nearby just a short beach walk to Mia Bridge. We had a very private garden view walkout to a garden pool, there are 3 pools. The front desk was always friendly to us, some reviews state otherwise, but we were always greeted and taken care of with a smile, especially from Pat. Our room was cleaned daily with new linens—towels were brand new and room always smelled freshly cleaned upon our return. Pools do need some cleaning—we did see a pool guy cleaning one day and adding chemicals but definitely needed some more attention. But we loved this place and will definitely return!
