Higuera Blanca Vacations from $1,336

We stayed during hurricane Simon. The staff was excellent and did what they could to make our stay comfortable considering the circumstance of the storm. The restaurant staff was exceptional. We had no problem speaking English. The rooms are clean and very large. The overall decor of the hotel and gardens are beautifully done and the pool is beautiful. It's like a grand hotel that needs a little bit of polishing but we enjoyed our stay and would go back.

It was important that we had a balcony. And the management took it upon themselves too allow my daughter and I to sign a release. And it was so wonderful we enjoyed our room at 413. The beds were very comfortable in the shower had a lot of pressure and the view was amazing pool and ocean. The staff in the restaurant were fantastic.

From the moment we arrived the service was amazing. The attention to detail and accommodation is superb. The price is well worth what you get here. The only learning curve here is learning how to get to certain amenities, like the gym and pool took different elevators. Other than that everything was smooth, we appreciated the housekeepers as well, they are thorough and thoughtful when cleaning the room. A stand out for me was Martha, she knows hospitality and made sure we were taken care of when we had our pool days. If you are like me and need your coffee daily, I like that they provide nespresso pods but the coffee bar on site is amazing, they make a great latte! Would recommend to all my family and friends, and will come back and only stay here.

Bell Hotel is absolutely beautiful, old charm and Spanish style is timeless, feels like you have your own villa. I plan to stay here again

The staff, food (& variety), pool, and accommodations were excellent. If you’re anticipating beach time though reconsider. The beach is short (15 yards) and steeply sloped to the water. The ocean can be rough as the seabed dips precipitously. Temperatures during our mid-October stay were routinely 88F with high humidity. We saw two people go into the ocean during our 7 day stay and nobody on the beach. The only way to stay cool outdoors is in the pool (which was excellent). Air conditioned venues at L’Estancia and the neighboring property were very nice.
