Los Balcones Over The Sea Hotel

3.0 star property
7.4 out of 10, Good, (10)
"Don't get lured by the nice pictures. They were purposely boosted up. The hotel is located on a small island surrounded by the locals' cabins and a school.

"Lodging Options on Carenero Island are quite limited. We are really fortunate that we chooses the Hotel Dona Mara. The delightful owners, English speaking, are very proud of their property, keeping everything very clean, including the nice sandy beach directly in front. They serve a tasty free breakfast of eggs, breads, fruit and delicious coffee. Hot water was plentiful, WiFi signal was adequate for our needs. Of note their son owns and operates the very popular restaurant Octo, rated...
