Hotel y Restaurante Colonial Playa — Hotel in Atlántida

We had a problem with 1 lightbulb, they came the same day and...

I only know the restaurant and bar. Nice little place on the beach. Just a good option for some food and drinks on the beach between the too expensive restuarants. Don't expect too much but it's really worth the prices and the food is good and...
