We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Cantarana. The access to the private beach was amazing and the sunset was spectacular! There are great restaurants at the property and within walking distance. The room was clean and comfortable but the property could use a refresh. Overall was a great stay!

This hotel exceeded our expectations! It was so nice to have a small kitchen with an espresso maker as well as a coffee/smoothie shop and restaurant on site. The staff was so friendly and accessible at all hours. We were able to rent last minute surfboards and enjoyed the beautiful surf and non-crowded beach that was just a very short walk down a beautiful, shaded path. We will absolutely visit this hotel again!

Small, 5 unit, hotel. Restaurant serves good food and drink and the coffee shop is very good. The 2nd floor apartments have bar fridge and coffee maker only with main floor units having a small kitchen. Comfortable king beds. The property could use some attention, tile work on the pool, handrails loose, trim boards missing, but all in all, pretty good shape. The staff are tremendous. Very helpful and accommodating. Arranged tours, made our stay very pleasant.

Excellent service, friendly vibe
Lovely rooms, nice pool area, private access to the beach. The staff was welcoming and very helpful. They do accept pets so you may hear some yapping dogs. They have surfboard and paddle rentals on site and can help you with all of your tours. If you want a very low-key beach vibe this is a place for you.
