SAND DIAMOND HOTEL

8/10 Good

"All food was great, the reception desk wasn’t friendly but later I found out that’s part of their culture and probably because I look like I can be from Panama, the building is okay and they are improving it I met the owner a very nice man still working and for me as a business owner he is an example to be followed"

Hotel Andros

10/10 Excellent

"Muy bien servicio"

La Cubana Hotel & Residencial

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely friendly staff. Parking was right in front of the hotel and the nighttime parking attendant was very helpful with our luggage. The front desk attendant even leant us a knife to cut our maracuya!"

Hotel Sotelo

8/10 Good

"It was very clean and comfortable, and great staff. I definitely recommend it."

La Posada del Buzo

8/10 Good

"Was alone most of the time, only person running the restaurant was around. Good food. Not really good beach, hard rocks underfoot in water. Town doesn’t have much to say for itself. But if you want tropical quiet then this is the place."
