Looks good outside, but not cosy inside at all. The breakfast was “included”, but we ended up paying for that. Was a lot of confusion about it. Problems with water running, with hot water. Wasn’t pleasurable experience at all. Staff wasn’t qualified to address all the issues.

The food was delicious, all day happy hour, the restaurant closes at 7, I would recommend the larger rooms as the basic king is not a lot of extra room in it

While on our trip to visit family & friends--Tito recommended staying here! I'm so happy he did. The services are great and it's very apparent they're seeking to cater to global travelers vs. ONLY local guests. I'm writing this on my laptop where my pictures haven't been loaded yet or I'd share them. Suffice it to say I'm picky--EXTREMELY picky. Hotel Dharma did NOT disappoint. My favorite parts: 1) Proximity to beach 2) Cleanliness 3) A/C--many places do not have it 4) Beautiful domes 5) Cafe/restaurant--bread is DIVINE 6) English speaking employee's 7) MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE IS RONNY--he is the pure example of joy & love. He is so sweet & accommodating. If I could pack him up and take him with me I would. Such a happy soul & it comes through in his actions. THANK YOU Ronny! Off for my next adventure. You can not go wrong with Dharma!! *my key card kept getting deactivated so I had to go to counter every night but they were all very accommodating and nice.

Booking problems, rebooked in other hotel
I arrived at the Dharma Beach Hotel to find that the room I had booked was not available. The manager told me he had advised hotels.com to cancel the booking, but they had not done this, so I received no communication that there were any issues with my reservation. On this particular night (new years eve) the hotel was totally booked out, as was every other hotel in Montanita. The manager was apologetic about the situation, and organized me to stay in a room not normally used for guests at a nearby hotel (which unfortunately not nearly as good as what I had booked at Dharma). He also gave my friends and I a free dinner. It seems that hotels.com was at fault, and the manager did what he could to resolve the situation.

Stayed Saturday until Wednesday. The only time there was a problem with noise was Saturday night - but that is to be expected since the town and beach are one big party on Saturdays. Otherwise, it was as expected, a comfortable, clean hotel on the beach with a nice restaurant, good food and drinks. The water in the pool was clean and it felt heated.

Todo es increíble. Para mi es el mejor hotel de Montañita. Lo que más me gusta son las fiestas en lost. Lo único que no me parece es que en el precio no están incluidas las entradas a la fiesta para lost. Eso es lo único malo. Si las entradas estuvieran incluidas en el precio de la habitación fuera excelente!!!

Cunado llegamos pasado el mediodía no valía el ascensor y tuvimos que subir los 4 pisos por las escaleras. El olor en el baño era desagradable. No pudimos determinar si el hedor venía de afuera o era alguna tubería interior del baño la dañada. El desayuno correcto y el personal al ingreso y a la salida amables y eficientes. Una pena lo del baño ya que en general las instalaciones están en bueno estado y las habitaciones también.

Comidad en pleno montañita
Es la primera vez q me hospedo aquí y fué muy comoda la habitación,la vista del atardecer fantástica! Adicional tienen mesa de pool y otros juegos para pasar un bueno momento en el hotel. El restaurante perfecto y bien ubicado. El desayuno fué incluido y fué muy conveniente,lo único fué que se demoro mucho en ser servido en la mesa. Mi estadia fué en general excelente!

Vernünftiges Mittelklassehotel, das unmittelbar an den Strand angrenzt. Soweit ganz ok. Service und Ausstattung aus unserer Sicht jedoch nicht dem Preis entsprechend. Die Rezeption war lustlos, es gab keine kostenfreien Aufenthaltsplätze in Strandnähe und das Frühstück war auch eingeschränkt. Für einen Kurzaufenthalt dennoch in Ordnung. Positiv: der Service im Restaurant war sehr nett und bemüht.

Wifi
La estadía estuvo muy bien. Algunas sugerencia seria de que el hotel tenga ambientadores en los ddormitorios ya que la proximidad del río Montañita es muy cerca. A parte, ayuda las condiciones del hotel. Otra sugerencia seria que modifiquen la señal de internet. No es muy buena en los cuartos ( estuve hospedado en el segundo piso). Tuve que estar en la puerta toda las veces que quería tener señal.
