    My room was a little humid but it was rainy season so I understood.

    Everything! Was such a special, quaint place to stay. The staff was so warm, inviting, and helpful throughout my stay. The food in their restaurant was some of the best in town.

    It would be nice if there was a mini fridge in the room. It would also be nice to have a kettle, in the morning you could grab a tea by the pool at night I had to walk through the restaurant to get them to make me a tea and it cost $3 American. Iam Canadian so it actually Cost me almost $5 for a camomile tea plus the inconvenience and awkwardness.

    Breakfast was good. The location was also good.

    a kitechette in the room would have been very convenient for us but other than that, nothing

    Playa Guiones is a gorgeous beach and the hotel facilities and access are beautiful, giving a sense of ease and peace of mind. The staff goes above and beyond with service and professionalism, not to mention kindness. Joelle especially 👍 Thank you 🙏 We had everything we needed for comfort and what we didn’t have, we asked for and they did their utmost best to provide. Will definitely stay again if I have the chance!

    -the surf school felt a little bit overpriced, classes only with videos for 130$ (not really needed if you know your issues already) when in town a respectable school would charge $80

    - helpful staff (especially the reception lady) - jungle room with outdoors showers - design and decor - morning coffee and cake - great coffee truck

    Lack of amenities for a luxury hotel really stood out as a negative for us. Rooms are small for the price, which could be fine if there were other complimentary benefits, such as free breakfast, free exercise classes, etc. to make up for that. There were never enough lounge chairs in the pool area for us to nab a spot, and guests swarmed around the coffee area in the mornings to try to catch a cup and possibly a piece of banana bread (which was delicious) before they ran out. Although the restaurant was always well-staffed, it felt like service and support for hotel guests was lacking. Towards the end of our stay, the pool smelled of algae, which was off putting. Construction next door and smells of sewage were prominent on many days, which prompted us to leave the hotel grounds when we might otherwise have relaxed on site. Overall, just not the experience we expected nor was it consistent with other small, luxury boutique hotels that we've stayed at around the world.

    The two highlights of our stay at Sendero were the hotel restaurant (evening bar staff in particular) and the hotel's proximity to the beach.
