Don Pancho by the Beach

10/10 Excellent
"Great view, convenient to everyrhing, comfortable bed. Great wifi reception, Clean My only gripe is the vibrating hum of a malfunctioning air conditioning unit in one of the outside units. Not a problem during the day if the front door remains shut but we could hear it humming throughout the night."
