Hotel y Cabañas Reserva Aguamarima — Hotel in Buenaventura

This site is a mix of excellent and some things to improve. ||||Exceptional things: ||-Location: At the edge of the cliff above the Pacific Ocean, the view is absolutely beautiful.|| ||-Kindness: The managers (Luz Marina and Patricia) are outstanding. They are aware of communications (phone and mail) and have very organized site. The information provided is accurate and reliable. ||||-Food: It is very good in general terms. They offer fresh fish and meat. Good breakfast (fruit, eggs, fried flour, rice, coffee or juice). ||||The rooms at the hotel have air conditioning and its own shower. I think it's better to stay in these rooms because the humidity is very high in the area. ||||The cabins are a little more rustic and more capable (8-10 pax), but no air conditioning and showers are outside the cabin (altough very clean & fresh cold water). Cabins are cheaper than hotel rooms.||||The cleanliness of the whole site is excellent. The bathrooms are beautifully maintained. ||||The pool for adults and children,& jacuzzi have excellent maintenance. ||||Security in the place is very good.||||To improve: ||The mattresses are a bit hard. Would recommend to take a mattress protector with you. ||The sheets are a bit small for mattresses so during the night become loose and embroil. Bringing your own sheets would be recommended. ||The hotel provide towels, but take one of your own for the beach.||||Our accommodation was in low season, we had no problems of overcrowding nor noise. ||||The area is not easy for people with physical disabilities, if you require wheelchair assistance or significant physical assistance it is not a recommended place. ||||Very close (less than 500 meters) there is access to the beach, but access is definitely difficult and dangerous to elderly or physically disabled. The beach is absolutely beautiful. ||||I recommend as a guide in the area Mr Armando Arroyo, he is an extremely kind and responsible person. He offers an eco ride that is unforgettable. You can ask for him to Patricia. ||||We were 3 adults and 4 children (7-9 years) and we had some fantastic days.||Don't forget to take with you: Mosquito repellent, flip flops, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, waterproof bag, moisture absorber for electronic equipment.||||ok, if review was...

I am an adventurous young adult from New York City, who had been residing in Cali for 8 months, so my review should be taken with a grain of salt, as my life experiences will influence my review, as I'm sure everyone's does. When you arrive at the port at Juanchaco, you will be inundated with locals offering their help. Unless you only have a small bag, accept the help. They will often have wagons to help you carry your things and can arrange for a moto or a tractor bring you to your hotel. Obviously exercise caution. The 15min moto ride was 3mil and bought us directly to the hotel. The grounds are beautiful. The hotel is made of rustic cabana houses which looked nice for large groups without all of the modern conveniences (not sure about A/C, tv and indoor showers). Then there are two buildings. A more recently built and an older building. We stayed at the new building. All rooms in this building have balconies, tv and strong air conditioners. The hotel only provides soap, so bring or you can buy shampoo and conditioner. There are no safes or fridges in the rooms. They do not provide beach towels. We requested the breakfast and lunch vouchers and ate dinner out. The food was very good. The pool was very nice. The bar is expensive so you may want to bring your own booze. I don't believe the water is safe to drink, so bring water, or you can buy from the local stores. There are two entrances to the beach - one behind the restaurant and one outside of the complex. I preferred the former because there is direct access from the hotel and it's quieter. You can rent chairs table and an umbrella. The tide comes up earlier than the other beach, which is much more populated and busy. There's not much to do in the town itself although they're some bars and restaurants. Be extremely diligent with bug spray - I contracted dengue. To get the moto back to the lancha, just walk out to the corner and you'll find people to bring you back. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I hope to return in the...

This is the best hotel in Ladrilleros.||||I traveled with my wife and kids (6 and 4) in the second week of august 2015 and the hotel offered very good service for all of us, the food was delicious and the personnel was very kind and helped us with the kids: They divided the portion of an adult for the two kids, cooled the hot drinks for them and were very kind. We ate different kind of fish every day.||||The rooms are nice and clean, the place is beautifully maintained all the time.||||The hotel has an incredible view to the pacific ocean, and you could go to the beach when the sea tide allows for it. The energy of this powerful ocean is amazing.||||You should previously arrange all the excursions with the hotel (we went to wales sightseeing and mangrove swamp), in order to assure good rates and attention.||||You must take your drinking water with you (the water is abundant at the place, but is not potable) and because you arrive in a boat, you must pack all your belongings in plastic bags, as long as your bags could get soaked in the boat trip and the weather in Ladrilleros is very humid. Only local currency is admitted and bring low denomination bills in order to negotiate and buy crafts that are directly sold by the ladies who make them: indians||||I would go again to this place and hotel, you get disconnected from the civilization, but wi-fi is available at the lobby.||||I totally...
