This tidy guesthouse has clean, bright accommodations (all six rooms have windows) with tile floors and sturdy furnishings.
Across from the bus station, Leo offers small, clean rooms, some of which lack windows. Convenient if you’re just passing through.
An old-world-style pensión, with small, neat rooms and large wall murals. Despite worn edges, it has appeal. There are discounts for groups and there's a TV in the rooms.
Popular with weekending families who crowd the pool, the hotel is squeaky clean but generic in its cement and tile construction. It features 24-hour security, hot water and phones.
Fresh paint and new furnishings make this well-kempt cheapie great value.
This small hillside hotel offers pleasantly furnished rooms and swish two-bedroom cabins, some with balconies looking out to sea. Outside you’ll find sculpted shrubbery, a small gym and sauna, a pool and a playground.

Electric-blue rooms with firm mattresses and TV as well as modern bathrooms. Ask for hot water, only a few rooms have it.
This 1960s concrete palace has seen better days. Guests will find the rooms battered but clean. There's a casino and disco and it's next to the popular Playa Murciélago.
