This is the first time that I have stayed off ocean-front (slightly) when visiting this exciting city, and I am so glad that I made the choice to do so. The hotel is about four or five blocks from the beach, but it provides a quieter and "more authentic" look at the local culture. The hotel is reasonably priced, offers consistent and reliable internet, great housekeeping, and a satisfying pool area on the second floor. More importantly, however, the hotel staff is made-up of people that enjoy others and seem like they are having fun working there. I asked them about nightlife, restaurants, the neighborhoods, shopping . . . . you name it. Two women (Ninfa and Nuri) and one man (Julio) made me feel welcomed and took care of me like I was royalty. I am afraid that when more and more people discover this nice hotel - and it's impeccable service - it will be harder and harder to find rooms here! I hope that is not the case when I return in March of 2025. Thank you, Hotel Pueblito!
