2 min walk from the beach, lovely rustic desert decor
Son departamentos muy cómodos e higiénicos. Así como sus precios son accesibles. La atención de sus propietarios fue el excelente. Me encantó. Super recomendado.
I did not stay there, but friends and I used it as meeting and staging place for exploring San Carlos. We also had some of our party stay there. The place is clean, well appointed, and the staff gracious, bilingual, and helpful. The plaza has great restaurants, shops and vendors. Boats are available and the hotel helped arrange one for us.
A very nice simple place to stay. Comfortable beds and quiet location - you can hear the music from the marinaterra restaurants but once they stop it is very calm. It is a 17 minute walk to the marinaseca in case you are working on a boat. They don't supply bottled water so bring your own. It can be hard to find the entrance - google maps takes you just past the obscure driveway that leads to the parking lot.
Excellent service and attention. Perfect pet friendly option. Great place to stay!

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
