    Very relaxing, rustic but if you don’t need all the comforts it’s a lovely place to stay.

    No A.C. They lent us a second fan which helped, but the rooms need a regular ceiling fan not a floor fan. The rooms need updating and floor in bathrooms is always damp . WiFi only in dining room.

    The staff at Pez de oro is wonderful. We’ve been coming for 15 years and are very fond of Pez de oro. The hotel is on the ocean, very clean although small pools. Good Italian food. The staff is always willing to help make your stay to the best of their ability.

    All good.

    The swimming pool was super clean with plenty of chairs and shade to chill if that's your thing. The hotel is right on the beach so bed to sea in less than a minute. Close enough to the town for anything that you need including some decent ice cream outlets which are a must in between rum and beer. The room was clean and spacious with a good size bathroom. A good alternative to El Pardon if you want to drop out of the scene for a bit. It is super quiet so great for some rest.I have seen negative reviews about the restaurant prices and would like to make a few points. We ate at several places in town and also at the hotel during our stop here. Whilst the food in town was cheaper the portion sizes,quality and surroundings at the hotel restaurant are far superior ,so as always,you get what you pay for and certainly not something to moan about unnecessarily.

    Bed a little firm. Lighting a little dim. Otherwise good.

    Staff were very nice. We were there mid week in the off season. They let us pick which bungalow we wanted. They also had the pool filled up and ready for our arrival. Great beachfront location.

    Can't think of anything. I really enjoyed my stay.

    The location was an excellent stay. It is a quiet, beachfront property with many trees providing a plenty of shade and an easy, beachside walk to the town. The staff was very kind and helpful.

    We stayed at Pez Oro for several nights. The location was marvelous - right on the beach. The staff were charming. The food was good but a little high in price. But we can highly recommend this place.

    As others have said, the restaurant is nothing special and a little overpriced. It would be nice to have breakfast included, as many places do. Beware, the cabins are hot to sleep in at night! And very dim- only one lightbulb on the ceiling, and it was turned toward the empty wall! I didn’t need the mosquito net, luckily, b/c when I pulled it down it had an unpleasant smell.

    The property was lovely, very clean, perfect location that was quiet but close enough to town. The staff were very friendly and helpful to me. The manager Sandra, especially. She is excellent at speaking slowly and clearly for those like me whose Spanish is not the best! The pools, tho small, were clean and refreshing.

    Equipment of the bathroom is a little old. The taps are rusty

    The room is a little bungalow, beautifully built. Each bungalow has its own little terrasse. The hotel is a bit further from the other hotels and it makes it very quiet. The hotel has a direct access to the beach. We could hear the ocean all night. Room is big. Staff is nice and smiley. There are two pools, both super clean.

    nothing. Everything was

    The location was fantastic, and I loved having my own little cabaña. It had a mosquito net around the bed, although I didn’t need it because there were no mosquitoes. It was wonderful hearing the sound of the ocean. The swimming pool was clean and a perfect temperature. Nice little restaurant with fantastic homemade pancakes for breakfast and a very good shrimp and zucchini pasta for lunch.

    No wifi (although we knew this ahead of time). Non-hotel staff on grounds (approaching us at our room, near pool, and in hotel restaurant) was relentless and aggressive in trying to get us to book tours with him.

    Location on beach was amazing. Pool was lovely. Room and grounds very clean. Bottled water provided. Hammock and outdoor seating outside of each room. Restaurant was nice, could be more inviting. Food was good but a bit pricey.

    We had a water leak I. The bathroom that we couldn’t locate. No other problems were witnessed by us.

    The breakfast was nice. Very typical of Latin American cuisine. Fresh tortillas plantains fresh fruit. Coffee and fresh juice. The only challenge for me is the latins don’t know how to turn an egg over when fried.

    Actually we didn’t like it at all. I took it because of the reviews but was a mistake. We will never come back and I don’t recommend this, bad called hotel. We had a really bad experience. Nobody attending. Bad food and dark rooms. Bugs in swimming pool.

    Ocean front. That was the only thing we rescue from our experience.

    my mobile phone was stolen, most probably by staff. hotel had very few customers at the time. weird, my tablet disappeared on first day, the gardener brought it to me next morning, saying i left it outside and he put it away for safe keeping. 5 hours later my mobile phone disappeared. google says the phone is in same street 100 meters away behind some houses in the bush... i reported the theft to hotel staff, staff did nothing. no wifi, no air cond, mozzies in the cabana, it's tolerable but got some bites. restaurant is expensive, neighbour restaurants offer food and drinks for less. the beach is dangerous, I almost drowned. no one swims, the waves are too powerful.

    close to beach, privat pool,
