The pool directly next to water is so amazing. Beautiful views! We loved ordering food & drinks to our room and eating with the view of the ocean. Food and drinks were decent. The room quality was very low, showers always cold, broken toilet seat.

The poolside area is nice. I enjoyed that. However the road entrance to the hotel is not pavemented. Rough road to drive. The staff at the front desk when we checked in was not welcoming. We were told “No Outside food or drinks”. Breakfast is one option. We ordered coffee and wanted milk with our coffee and we’re told there is an extra fee 😳😧😧 What?? Not walking distance within El Tunco. You need a car from this hotel.
