Unfortunately, looking at the neglected horse across the street that was very minimally taken care of. The poor thing did not exercise the whole week we were there. Kept in a small space that was not clean. Received food and water and attention rarely. So sad. People should not own a horse if they can not take care of it. I think for most people , seeing this neglected horse daily is disheartening and disturbing.

Everything! Facilities very clean & beautiful!

The facilities are simple as mentioned. Cleaning could be better.

A magical place. It is on the beach so you can hear the waves and see the sunset from the property. My kids loved the small pool and surfing, going to the beach at will. It is simple and down to earth, reminded me of Kho Pangan in thailand 20 years ago. The town is within a walking distance. The team - Lorena and Kim are great! Helping us booking whales tour, answering every question we had. Very accomodating and freindly. Great relaxed atmosphere. Chill.

WiFi was very sporadic and not available for a large periods of time. You need to bring your own soap and shampoo. Kitchen could use a little extra cleaning.

Location was great. 15 steps to the beach. We Intimate and quiet. The facilities are a bit rustic, but very accommodating. Kim is great…friendly and helpful.

Best sunset on the beach! The Fenix was just purchased by the new owners and they were starting some renos but our stay was really enjoyable even with the little bit of construction going on. The rooms are a good size and have small kitchens which is great. The location is awesome and you can walk to beach restaurants and the downtown area. There is also fresh fish and a small store right behind the Fenix. The outside sitting area is fantastic....so comfortable and the sunsets are absolutely awesome. New owners mentioned they were thinking of some upgrades including A/C which would be great too. We plan on going back for sure (and bringing wine....inside joke with new owners!)

There is no AC however the ocean breeze made it comfortable to sleep well at night.

In the beach, beautiful views, friendly and helpful staff and owners, carefully decorated and maintained, store and restaurant in close proximity, and overall pleasant vibe.

Although there is room for lodging 3 people, it would be crowded. Perfect for a couple's retreat.

Hotel was clean with an enjoyable host. Location is top-notch, can't be any closer to the beach. Restaurants are available along the beach. Quiet and non-touristy beach. A perfect place to unplug and relax. The kitchenette is a great bonus for those who choose to prepare their own food.

Beds could have been more comfortable. No AC in rooms.

Beachfront location doesn’t get much better. Wonderful staff.

The location is perfect, it feels quiet and secluded but is a simple walk down the beach to the rest of town.

Nothing we didn’t like but just one recommendation for future guests - make sure to liaise with the hotel through WhatsApp a few hours before the check in to make sure all formalities can be completed smoothly!

It is a charming place with an ideal location, right on the beachfront. The hotel staff was very friendly and welcoming. Lorena gave us lots of recommendations for neighbouring restaurants, activities and bars. The hotel is within walking distance from the town’s beachfront. Parking was convenient. Fenix Hotel is also very conveniently furnished with paddle boards and floaters for the pool. Towels for use on the beach are kindly provided and sunbeds/hamocs are available free of charge.

The beds are extremely uncomfortable. The noise from outside is unavoidable due to their only being netting on half the windows. And by noise, I mean the volume of the night guards phone as he watches shows, the talking of other guests as though you’re all on top of each other and the bar next door that plays music all day.

The property has SO much potential! Unfortunately, potential is not a current factor for me now. The property is clean and well maintained. The landscaping is beautiful. The decor in our room was well executed. Our shower was warm, with good water pressure, as long as no other showers were running. Clean, small pool.

Too hot with air conditioning. Dogs barking at night. Roosters crowing in the early morning

Location by the beach

The property is run down. The bar located next door to the property was loud each night until 12:00 midnight. Made sleeping nearly impossible.

Honestly, not much Not the caliber of property we are accustomed to.

The one downside for me was the lack of air-conditioning in the space except the bedroom. Also, it would have been nice to have had a ceiling fan outside our door over our seating area. Oh and be sure to bring your own bath soap.

The staff was outstanding-warm, attentive and welcoming. A special shout out to the manager, Lorena, who went above and beyond to make sure guests felt comfortable and cared for. You can tell they put thought in every detail from small decorative touches in the room to personal service thoughout the stay. The location was a big plus. It had a local, relaxed vibe.
