MAVI Surf Hotel — Hotel in Bahía Ballena

what a positive surprise! our expectations were not particularly high, especially after we had read that children under 12 were not allowed and our tour operator had booked us there with our 9-year-old son anyway. it was our 9th accommodation on the trip and we were never given such a warm welcome as at Mavi Surf. The owners are incredibly friendly, informative and helpful. we felt very welcome and at home. we were in the luxurious position of being the only guests. the room was large, very well equipped and very clean. the pool is lovely, there were even extra towels for the pool. various restaurants are within easy walking distance and Barbara is happy to give recommendations on what is worth it and what is not. one day we had to leave very early and had expected not to get breakfast. instead there was a really rich, super tasty breakfast to take away for us, lovingly prepared and brought the evening before. the breakfast on site was also great, very rich and tasty. nothing was left to be desired. you can tell that everything is done with passion. If you are looking for a small, individual accommodation with great hosts and a fantastic breakfast, this is the place for you! For us, another highlight at the...

Staying at The Mavi Surf hotel was like staying with your favorite aunt and uncle. My sister and I felt spoiled by Max and Barbara. A delicious fresh breakfast started our day off and after reviewing plans with our hosts we felt ready to explore and enjoy. Feeling safe in a new country was important to us and we were not disappointed. Max outlined the restaurant scene, giving us tips and suggesting favorites. My sister fell ill at one point and Barbara took time to make a special tea tray to help her recover quickly. Due to her illness we needed to adjust scheduled excursions and our gracious hosts were there to help with our language barriers and telephone challenges. Returning to the hotel at the end of the day, taking a dip in the pool, and relaxing on our balcony and in our comfortable room were additional benefits to our stay.
