Perfect location right by the playa norte. The staff were somewhat indifferent
Large clean room with a comfy king size bed. Fridge and safe available. Nice little balcony with a glimpse of north beach. The hotel itself has a pool but I never went in because of the beach right there. The breakfast included is pretty underwhelming, just a bit of toast and jam coffee and juice.. considering most hostels offer that or better. Location is unbearable though. Would stay again.
The beds were really hard. And my husband and I don't fit in a double well. But the patio was great to hang our wet swim suits up.
The resort is right on the best beach, but they charge you to use umbrellas and chairs. There are good trees, but you need to be out early to secure your shade.
Staff was very friendly and helpful.
We stayed here years ago. Our friends are there now. It was great then and they've kept it up well. One of the best locations.. Right on Playa Norte.
The best part is that the hotel is located right by a really nice beach and close by downtown. However, price/quality/service is a bit over rated. The hotel pool and garden is nice and all is clean but that's about it. The rooms are spacious but old. The TV was probably older than me and there was no internet connection except in one common area. I didn't have hot water. The service is average. It took us nearly half an hour to check in, in order to pay they take your card away so you don't see what's happening with it and baggage storage is rudimentary, they don't give you a ticket and leave the bags behind reception but at everyone's sight. They say it's fine no one steals and that they remember each guest's bagsBreakfast is at a restaurant at the beach but very poor as they only provide toasts with butter and jam and American coffee or tea and a juice which definitely is not fresh. Honestly, too expensive for what you get.
Love Cabanas, where we always stay, many beautiful attributes, best is large stretch of beach, right outside your room, also close access to downtown..owners could be more on top of details for client comfortwashcloths would be great, small tables on top balconies for rooms above restaurant, one microwave in hallway for all rooms to access ( for reheating all delicious leftovers) would be so useful. Also maintenance in some rooms needs to be addressed, all about details in the service industry. We will go back !!
Before I begin my post I should preface with the fact that I am a cheap traveler. I do not spend a lot of money on fancy accommodations. I look for CLEAN and affordable- not the most updated rooms.
If you like to travel like that, then this is the place!!!
Rooms are so well priced, especially if you snag a deal online! They are small, cute, clean, the AC works amazing and they feel like you're immersed in the culture.
Other people have said you can hear noise in the morning w the cleaning crew, and this is correct. However, I was up early every morning and it didn't bother me.
The beach is literally outside your doorstep. The first time I stayed here, I went completely alone, stayed for a week and on the second floor. I never had any issues with the locals or the tourist. It was very safe.
The hotel is located at the north beach and is about is about a 10-15 minute walk from the ferry. So if you want to save some cash, skip the taxi and walk there. You can stop and get a drink or bite to eat before check in.
The staff is also very nice. I've never had any issues. However, I'm a firm believer that if you are nice to begin with, others will be nice back. Just use common sense when in other country.
All the rooms come with a safe, which came in very handy.
Honestly, I love staying here and this will always be my first choice. It's in a quite location and near the water.
The place has a beautiful out door space but the interior is bad out dated and the grandeners were staring at my sister.
Unbeatable location, simple rooms, decent price. 10 mins walking distance from the ferry. There can be noise in the morning from the maids in the hall and the trash pickup outside. AC worked great. Lock box was useful for passports and cash. Easy golf cart rental from the hotel lobby. We kept beers in our mini fridge and would walk right from the beach to get a refill, faster service than the beach bars.
Great place. Very cute small hotel. I will choose it over a big and modern place. Very cozy and 1 minute in walking to a Playa Norte, which is the most amazing beach ever. The stuff is really great. Our stay was awesome. The AC was working very well, and the rooms where cleaned every day. There is a safe box here free to use but there is no iron in the room. But u can ask for it at the front desk. Our check out was at 12 noon, but we left our bags till 2pm. Which was very convenient for us. Love this place a lot, will be back soon
Basic clean acomodation right on the beach. The included breakfast is not good
Well maintained court yard. Friendly staff. Nice pool and on the ocean
The rooms aren't the nicest but the location is amazing and the price is right. There's no wifi in the rooms, just outside in the pool area. Speaking of which, the outside area is beautiful! I'd stay here again if the price is right. Breakfast consists of coffee, orange juice, and a couple pieces of today across the street.
We stayed three nights last month. The place was GREAT! We had a second floor room overlooking the pool. 1 minute walk to the beach and their restaurant/bar (Buho's) We paid $114 plus tax. The room was basic but clean and had a fridge. It was a great value. Cart rentals right at the front desk.
Mellow inexpensive hotel right on North Beach, not fancy but who cares, it's nice and the beach is like 100 yards away!
Great; great, great location! I couldn't be happier with the location. Next to the beach, warm water, beautiful sunsets. The service, however, was overall bad. Waiters don't really care about providing service, the front desk takes their sweet time with everything. Cleaning service is good, but they forget to change towels, leave soap, etc. this place really needs showers for guest to clean sand off. Also, pool is quite warm and not very exciting.
