While the lodging is decent, the owners are quite nasty people. When we arrived in the afternoon, they asked if we wanted to eat dinner there. I said yes. When we showed up for dinner, the husband informed us that most of the items on the menu weren't available, and we had to give at least two hours' advance notice... More

Having just returned from staying at the Bahia Esmeralda I can honestly warn all travelers not to stay here. With the exception of the room cleaning staff and the groundskeepers.

The rate is very reasonable, as a matter of fact, for our family probably one of the best value so far. We were in this charming suite with three bedrooms, two... More

We contacted the property through e-mail to get a double room. When we got there, they had a tiny room that was 2 feet from the parking lot, or a room that had bunk beds. The beautiful beach that they advertised seemd to be reachable only by kayak. We tried to work with the manager to pay for 1 of... More

Playa Potrero is only a little place, and the hotel fits in perfectly - it's a couple of minutes walk up from the beach and consists of a square of bungalows around a central garden and pool area. We had an apartment with kitchen facilities, although I think there are also smaller rooms available. The room was clean, with air... More
