Easily the best place we have ever stayed. Wish we could have stayed longer. Pawan, the host, is friendly and considerate. Breakfast included an entire plate of fruit and toast, and your choice of three different main breakfast dishes. The location is away from the hustle and bustle of town which we appreciated for relaxation. The hotel is quiet and you can frequently see horses along the beach as well.
We recently stayed here for four nights with our family of four. Starting with the good: The staff is super nice and helpful. The bay the hotel is located in is beautiful. And hotel is quiet being more in Malpais and away from Santa Teresa.
The not so good: The 5-star rating seems generous, and many of the reviews are for the restaurant which is now closed (we did not know this when booking and the hotel website still has Gigi FishCo listed like it's open…).
Fantastic beach-front experience off the beaten path, just down the road from busy Santa Teresa. Easy drive or beach walk to great food — Brukus and El Corazon to name two — and back patio views of the beautiful sunset. Plunge pool for every room, plus larger pool on property. Excellent daily complimentary breakfast and an incomparable hotel manager (Thanks Raymundo! ). Five stars for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay in Mal Pais.
