AORA was a wonderful experience and we loved our time there, however there are definitely some pros and cons to consider with staying here!
PROS
- a beautiful property, stunning decor/aesthetic and open air hotel
- the comfiest bed we’ve slept on travelling
- the beg is enclosed and can be closed off
- loved the Japanese style rooms
- incredible rain shower
- a filtered water tap in the kitchen to fill water bottles
- 15 minute walk from the beach and centre
- helpful staff
CONS
- open air means you do hear all the dogs barking and roosters, the hotel does provide ear plugs which was great of them! But just something to consider if you are a light sleeper
- the free breakfast is really just coffee, toast, fruit and jam. Still delicious nonetheless but we had hoped for even some eggs for protein.
- there is a big hill to walk up and down to get to the hotel or centre. This was not an issue for us but could be for individuals with more limited mobility
- tiny spaces in the rooms, we had one large suitcase between the two of us and it was difficult to find a place to put it to access our clothing without unpacking everything. They do have drawers under the bed which would remedy this, but if you are not wanting to unpack/pack everything it was a challenge
Overall we had a pleasant experience at AORA and it was a great spot to explore San Pancho from.
