I chose to stay at this hotel after reading the single review on them on Trip Advisor and corresponding with Luis (he works at the hotel) I don't know if he speaks English all my correspondance with him was in Spanish. The hotel is great our room had air conditioning, but no television but with the pool and the beach you really don't miss it. Walmart is a 20 peso round trip from the hotel and the hotel that is visible to the road is Hotel Villa del Mar, Hotel/Restaurant La Orquidea are on the right side of the road. The beach is clean and has waves and the...
