Marisol Boutique Hotel

Even though this hotel was just a few blocks from the hotel corridor, it was on a quiet street that conveniently located near a lovely restaurant called Cynthia's Fresh and a beach that was nice to walk along (although not safe even for toe dipping). The hotel loans out beach chairs, beach towels, and beach umbrellas free of charge, which was delightful. (We used them to hang out on Playa Chileno, which was about 15–20 mins away, and safe for swimming.) The hotel also had lovely terrazas for relaxing on during cooler hours. The rooms were quite comfortable and festively decorated, which was a nice change from the generic hotel rooms you can find in any city. And the staff is very, very kind. The owner Marisol speaks English, and when I arrived, even though she couldn't be there, she had the receptionist call her on her mobile phone so that she could welcome me. She also went above and beyond to have a bouquet of flowers ready in our room for my mom for Mother's Day.

Our room had tiny, fast-moving ants, which I suspect came out because I had a box of chocolates on top of the counter. But I also found some in our bathroom. Our cleaning person sprayed the affected areas, and I then saw only one or two after that, but be sure not to leave any snacks out! Hot climates mean bugs come in for shelter, I guess. Our rooms had only showers and not tubs, which is fine by me, but might be a consideration for those who like to soak in tubs.

Friendly, intimate and has everything you might need.

It was all great!

Hospitality ( seems to be heriditary for them ) Great location (beach,supermarket)
