Posada Maria Isabel

8/10 Good
"Here’s a polished version that still feels honest and helpful: This is a family-run hotel with the owners living downstairs and the guest rooms located upstairs with private outdoor stairways and entrances. The family was very kind and accommodating throughout our stay, and they even allowed us to park in their carport, which was greatly appreciated. The room itself was clean and simple with the bare essentials. There is no TV, but the room does have air conditioning. It took quite a while for the room to cool down, so I would recommend turning the A/C on before heading out for the day so it is comfortable when you return. One of the best features of the property is the outdoor space. There are a couple of tables on the upstairs deck where you can sit and enjoy the ocean view. You can also walk directly onto the beach through the back gate, and they have a palapa on the beach with a table and chairs that are perfect for relaxing or enjoying a meal by the water. Overall, this is a budget-friendly stay in a great beachfront location with very friendly hosts. "
