Past the sand dunes and at the end of a narrow highway in the country’s largely undiscovered southwest region, you’ll find this lone hostel. Its somewhat odd name derives from its devotion to windsurfing. With no other attractions for miles, its loyal fan base comes here mostly for the excellent windsurfing conditions. While the hotel does [...]
This city hotel with a resort feel is right in the heart of everything, directly on the waterfront and a short stroll from a thriving local nightlife scene.

Your not-so-typical Caribbean escape, this hacienda / hotel is nestled atop a hill rather than beachside. While you'll find the requisite thatched-roof bungalows, those at Casa Bonita are more upscale than most, featuring sophisticated interiors, air conditioning, and small but standard resort bathrooms. Under a low-hanging coco palm roof is a spacious terrace with a restaurant [...]
A colony of immaculately maintained one-bedroom apartments with full bathroom, livingroom and kitchenette; the latter being somewhat unnecessary since meals are included in the rate.

The staff at this mountain lodge shifts into hyper-service mode when the rare tourist shows up, pulling out all stops to ensure a pleasurable stay. Perhaps it is because they have to work that much harder at making a lasting impression. The hotel is no 5-star luxury palace, as is the case with so many of [...]
Serena (Spanish for serene) couldn’t be more apropos. This two-story quasi-Victorian mansion is sequestered among a thick of palm trees on the farthest end of its very own beach... and within walking distance of a dozen more. Each of the individually decorated rooms, with private terrace and rocking chair, chaise, or hammock, face the ocean and [...]
This low-key hotel has the feel of a personal villa. At the center of it all is a spacious main room with high ceilings and a big comfy sofa for relaxing.
