Mal Pais Hotels

If you're looking for serenity, this is the place. Great location, beautiful views and plenty to see and do, it's really all up to you. The owner (Hilde) and her employees were most hospitable, courteous and attentive. The oceanfront rooms are large, very clean and the view from our balcony was amazing. The food and drinks were delicious and plenty to choose from. Breakfast selection is excellent. The value of service and atmosphere exceeds the price you pay. Thank you Tango Mar family for making us feel so at home.

Xavier and Clara at reception was always most professional and on task. The servers/bartenders were most friendly and courteous. We enjoyed everything we ate. The Ceviche and Caesar’s sala...

Very friendly staff, clean room, beautiful beach

Everthing was awesome at Tambor! My Wife and I absoultlely love the place. Not a single problem. Minor the Bellman was very helpful.

The staff at Barcelo are wonderful! Had a great time. Yes, the food is not the best but everything else made up for it. Edwin is wonderful as is Gerald. Would recommend Barcelo. If you go look for Steven on the beach to book your outings. He is great!

Great hotel, awesome staff! Cannot wait to go back!

Nice design, quiet and comfortable

Super close to town restaurants, waterfalls, bus pickup/dropoff and ziplines!

Air flow, needs AC

Great place to stay for a few nights - appealing to backpackers. Top rooms are nicer, bigger and have own balcony with hammocks and TV. Owner was fabulous and super helpful! People staying there were very nice. Kitchen available for cooking if needed. Walking distance to everything including beach.
