Was a treat to spend the few days here. The hotel fit my needs wonderfully. Great, authentic town where one can see how the people really live. I didn't spend much time googling about the area. There was probably much more to do than I did but don't miss out on a tour of the mangroves. Great nighttime (before dawn) sky and super birdwatching as well. Just give the seller time to bring his price down. Mine was first quoted at 200Q and settled at 75Q. While there the weather was hot and very humid.

We drove from Guatemala City and found the drive not difficult and very interesting. Lots of great little villages and people watching along the road as well as farms, and other interesting sites. For travelers, wanting to try this drive -feel comfortable- there are lots of stops along the way at gas stations for drinks and restrooms, so no worries there. The roads were in good condition but keep your eye out for speed bumps in unusual places. I have rarely been in a place with as good of roadside facilities as Guatemala. We were traveling in late June and it was quite hot so grateful to have air conditioning in our hotel room as a plus.

Relaxed. Pleasant. Low key and just what we wanted. The waves can be pretty strong and probably dangerous to swill in. The locals all seemed to enjoy sitting in the shallows and letting the surf wash over them.

Interesting place to get a vibe of where poeple from Guatemala go on vacation on the pacific coast . Not many international tourists . Not much to do there but with a good hôtel with a swimming pool, it is a nice place to relax and enjoy hot weather. During the rainy season, mosquitos are part of the combo. We rented a car to get there. We felt pretty safe.

Monterrico was a great little beach town.
Monterrico was a great little beach town. Plenty of restaurants if you want to get out of the hotels and amazing beaches. Much less crowds than port San Jose. There’s also the amazing mangrove nature preserve if you want a relaxing boat ride.

Monterrico is incredibly beautiful.
Monterrico is incredibly beautiful. We ate several places and all were very good -- good food for a fair price. The beach is absolutely gorgeous! We booked a tour of the mangroves in the Reserva Natural with EDGAR CONTRERAS as our Guide! This was the highlight of the trip! We had a great time with this intelligent, hard-working, reliable and fun guide who showed us a beautiful part of Guatemala. Highly recommend getting in touch with Edgar when you are in Monterrico. Next visit I am going fishing with Edgar! I can't wait! My friend says she want to go, too.
excellent hotel. it was so beautiful. clean. and customer service is exceptional. everyone goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and be helpful to you. the hotel is very well maintained and very very good for families. it’s a very safe and friendly. the beach is maintained and kept clean. and there is a lifeguard on duty all the time. if you want an enjoyable and peaceful and beautiful holiday then this is the hotel to stay at. it’s also close to the turtle release refuge
We live in the city and head to the beach whenever we can. This was a long weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The room was clean and comfortable, the location was nice and the on-site restaurant has some good dining options (in particular the signature dish). It's also the only hotel in Guatemala we know of with a working pool bar. Prices are amazing.
Great hotel with lush very beautiful garden. Clean fresh swimming pool and you see how they are taking care of the garden and pool. Family hotel with amazing hosts, they can help you with anything, starting with an excursion to the river to meet the sunrise and finishing with resolving stomach problems.
Highly recommend it, we truly enjoyed our stay there.
Very nice location, right at the beach. The Hotel has a restaurant with delicious food and on the weekends you can enjoy some live music at the bar. The staff is just amazing, super friendly and ready to help anytime! This is a perfect accomodation to chill some days at the beach. Just be careful when swimming, the swell is pretty strong in Monterrico.
The room is a little bungalow, beautifully built. Each bungalow has its own little terrasse. The hotel is a bit further from the other hotels and it makes it very quiet. The hotel has a direct access to the beach. We could hear the ocean all night. Room is big. Staff is nice and smiley. There are two pools, both super clean.
A nice hotel with a lovely garden and a great swimming pool. The rooms are confortable and the restaurant serves delicious food. The staff is very helpful, especially for booking visits and activities. The location is close to everything on foot. I would definitely come back
The best hotel option in El Hawaii. Great pools and friendly staff. Pet friendly, which is a huge plus.
The beach is manageable, unlike the dangerous Monterrico Beach a few kilometers up the road. Lots of activities (kayaking, surfing, horseback rides, atv rides, etc).
The owners were exceptionally friendly and looked after us. The hotel is a little away from the center of Monterrico, not a bad thing, and has a beautiful beach view, multiple places to sit and eat or enjoy the view, and a great pool the kids really enjoyed.
I was very impressed by this hotel, the location was great and the customer service was even better. me and my friends loved it here i would definitely recommend booking a stay here
It is one of the hotels near Monterrico with the nicest facilities.
The property has direct access to the beach. And the three pools are very nice to hang around.
The food was very good! Especially the fish.
The device was great and the Massotherapeute excellent. Very professional.
I recommend this hotel it is very clean.
Big room with own bathroom. There were two pools at the property so you never felt crowded. The hotel was absolute beachfront and a short walk to the town.
