La Virgen Vacations from $406

Stayed 3 nights and hotel owner spoke English very good and she was nice to chat with. The owner was eager to help us with finding things to do in Granada. We ate breakfast for $5 and the food was very tasty. The room was basic which we had thought it would be but there was a strong musty odor and the bed blanket and pillow seemed to be always damp/wet. The shower had only a trickle of cold water.

Honestly I would of rated 5 stars but front desk guy in the morning was rude and unfriendly. Don’t know why he works in hospitality if his not friendly at all.

Fantastic Eco Lodge with excellent food, many options for activities, and top of the line service. Highly recommend, especially for couples and romantic getaways.

We really enjoyed our two night stay at Barcelo Montelimar, primarily for its amazing setting and beach. The resort complex is large and spread out, but is walkable once you learn your way around. Our casita provide a good homebase for our stay, including a private porch with hammock and rocking chairs. Bathroom was basic but functional. Beds were comfortable. We didn't spend much time in the room other than to sleep. The all-inclusive food varied in quality and meal options seemed repetitive. We appreciated the table service. Beachfront was the focus for us--we loved the wide, sandy beach. The water was amazing-- mostly calm with waves large enough for excellent body-surfing without being too intimidating. Could've staying in the water all day. Gorgeous sunsets. Half hour horse rides on the beach for ten dollars. This is a very popular resort, and we would come back again.

The room is very clean. And the staff are very kind and helpful.
