Manala Hotel

Everything very good

The Street is in a Bad condition and very dusty, walking is nearly uncomfortable, too many vehicles and no Place for pedestrians

The property is beautiful, with a Spanish-inspired design that feels both stylish and relaxed. The rooms were very comfortable, and we especially loved having our own outdoor space with a hammock and cushioned chairs—it was perfect for unwinding in the evening with a glass of wine while listening to live music from the neighbouring property. The pool was pristine and very well maintained—we found ourselves spending a lot of time there both before and after the beach. It’s a quiet, lush space that really adds to the overall experience. The location is also a huge plus—just a 3–5 minute walk to one of the most beautiful stretches of beach, with plenty of quiet spots and natural shade, perfect for setting up a hammock and relaxing. Breakfast delivered right to our casita each morning was such a treat (and always extra coffee, which we appreciated!). José at the front desk was incredibly accommodating and helpful, which made the stay even more enjoyable. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Manala Hotel.

A couple of minor things to note—the TV standby light is quite bright at night, so we ended up covering it to keep the room darker for sleeping. The AC works well and is definitely needed, though it does run fairly loud and continuously, so we ended up using earplugs at night, which worked fine.

I liked everything, especially the cleanliness and the close proximity to the beach.

I liked everything.

Alfredo at reception was fantastic. He helped us book a lot - tours, transportation, dinner reservations. It was our honeymoon and we were given a bottle of wine for the occasion. Our transportation to leave was very early in the morning, before restaurants opened and Alfredo gave us some free fruit for the trip. Safe to say the customer service was exceptional. The room was really big which was nice. Double sinks was a plus. The pool was good.

I am pretty certain the ceiling isn’t actually fully enclosed underneath the bamboo. There were a lot of ants crawling on the walls and a gecko in our room all which seemed to come from the ceiling as the only sliding door to the room appeared to be sealed tight. We could clearly hear the room next to us watching TV and coughing. The king sized bed had a giant hump in the middle so we had to sleep on either side of it. The location is okay. It seemed like it was kind of at the end of the strip with all the restaurants and shops one way from it and nothing the other direction.
