Maldonado Vacations from $1,622

Even nicer in person than what you see in the photos. Beautiful gardens and a much nicer feel than the high-rises growing up around it. Nice hosts and substantial breakfast. Rooms are very clean - felt like it was brand new. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Located at the Northeast end of the villiage of Mompiche, only a 2-3 minute walk to the bustling, yet small center. The hotel is gated and ample parking is available inside the gates. I was greeted by Jose, one of the property managers who was very friendly. Upon checking in, he asked me what I wanted for breakfast the next day and when I wanted it (breakfast was included in my reservation). The next morning I was greeted by Jose and his boss, Freddie, who had breakfast ready for me at the small dining area next to the pool (which was quite nice). I chatted with Freddie and shared my plans to visit Isla Portete and Playa Negra which are about a 45min walk from the hotel. Freddie kindly offered to arrange a moto taxi for me, but ended up driving me in his personal car to the boat launch to Portete! Overall, my stay was very pleasant, mainly due to the friendly, kind, and informative staff at Bernabeth.
