Aquamarina

Room was very comfortable. Unique decor. Handy to restaurants and cafes

Loved the decor! The owner's personal attention was superb even a few days before our arrival. He took the time to come and greet us. Betty, the receptionist, was kind and attentive to our needs. Staying here our last day amply compensated for the unpleasantness of another hotel. Very glad we now know about Aquamarina.

Nothing to dislike. Everything was great.

The Aquamarina is a jewel, a sane & low key spot to catch your breath, even dip into the small pool after a hot day. If you want charm & character but don’t want to sacrifice comfort, cleanliness, or amenities then this is the place! Note that it is a 15m walk into the happening part of town with nightlife. That suited us just fine but may not suit all, although the area felt entirely safe as we strolled back after the early March sunsets. Pluses include: — Charming space, both common areas and the spacious, exceptionally clean rooms; — Friendly, accommodating, not intrusive staff; — Everything worked as intended - hot water, water pressure, AC, etc. — Many nearby restaurants, not the high-end ones of the waterfront, but tacorias galore, fab Italian food at LaCasa Madre, and numerous breakfast options. — other conveniences include coffee shops, convenience stores, etc to meet the needs of this low rise residential/commercial area — Walk to the waterfront in 15 minutes, or drive there in 5m.

Many residents keep dogs in their nearby homes or fenced in yards. They often bark suddenly and loudly at passersby. Sidewalks are often uneven, just broken, or gone in this part of town. Keep an eye out for steps up/down, missing stones or chunks of cement.

Charming, lovingly decorated old house with a rustic, nautical theme. Oozing with beauty snd character. Great location: Walking distamce to the marina and malecon, snorkel and dive centers, restauarants yet quiet and safe. No noisy guests. Helpful staff, family owned local small hotel.

As it was a charming old home It did not have a spa, infinriy pool etc but I wasnt expecting it to be a modern resort. The property had what I wanted.
