This is one of the island’s oldest luxury hotels. It has a lovely beach and 253 posh guest rooms, many with sea views, set amid tropical gardens and swimming pools.
This is in the sedate area north of town on its own pretty little stretch of beach (it’s not deep but it’s a gem), and there’s good snorkeling (the current is sometimes strong).
This place is down a passageway off Avenida 5 Sur between Calles 1 Sur and Dr Rosado Salas. It features lovely studios and nice, spacious, one-bedroom ‘suites’ (beds are separated from the rest of the room by low partitions) with kitchenettes.
It’s a quiet place built and furnished to resemble an old hacienda, and niceties such as bathrobes and kitchenettes in every room make this a very good value.
The name says it all: Hostelito is affordable and clean. There’s one shared dorm room downstairs for boys and girls with bamboo privacy screens, giant lockers and amazingly clean showers. (How’s that for truth in advertising?)
Has a large garden, an inviting pool and a good lounging area stocked with reading material. It may not be worth the hike from the center, but the three well-appointed, cottage-style rooms here may be worth the extra effort.
