The Paramar Beachfront Boutique Hotel With Breakfast Included - Downtown Malecon
The Paramar itself was very nice and staff was great! The areas around it were a bit dirty but there was recent heavy storms that probably played a factor. We found some good food close by and not a terribly long walk to Malecon.
