Cabañas El Cielito

It’s true that this cabaña style hotel is situated on a bluff, in paradise, on an incredibly long stretch of unspoilt beach. The small hotel grounds are beautifully kept and the staff are very friendly. The cabañas are basic but clean and comfortable and all have terraces with hammocks and outside furniture and a table. The pool area is lovely and the stairs down to the beach very manageable for most people. I would, however, disagree that the food in the restaurant is good! We have stayed here quite a few times and at best the food has been “passable”. We usually escape to the next village along for a meal on our second night at the hotel. Another strike against it is the way no staff seem to clean up the pool area ready for the next morning’s activity. We are lying out here today at lunchtime, surrounded by towels left by yesterday’s guests. The hotel is well off the beaten track and a true gem. We don’t expect high internet speeds or amazing water pressure. We are here to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings and solitude — but a little more attention to detail and fresh orange juice in the morning would be a lovely and not unachievable addition.
