Hostería Punta Blanca
3.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (28)
"This is a small boutique hotel in a quieter each village. The staff we are amazingly receptive to all our needs and the food was very good. We did find it became very noisy on the weekend when families arrived, and children were playing in and around the pool, a small space it was impossible to distance ourselves from. Staff are quick to respond when the temperature gauge on our shower is not working, and they reassigned us to a new and better room. All in all, excellent value for the cost."
