I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, with clean and accommodating rooms. The location on a hilltop north of Ojochal is perfect, just a stone's throw from beautiful beaches and fabulous restaurants. However, the dining options could use some improvement, and navigating the driveway with a car was a real hassle. Overall, for the price, it was a good deal, though I felt the rooms could use some updates.
