Guest Reviews
- Gerardo (9/5): Excelente experiencia, muy buen servicio del personal, muy atentos. Las instalaciones muy limpias. - La piscina en la terraza con la mejor vista de la zona Que cierran la piscina muy temprano
- Norma (9/5): Great place - Only 5 rooms in this place. Right on the beach Food is ok. But there is a good restaurant close by: la casita de mariscos
- Mike (10/5): -
- Erin (10/5): The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and Roberto's food was delicious. - Breakfast is included and delicious . Huge portions and kids can play on the beach when they are done sitting, which makes for a relaxing atmosphere. The rooftop pool is not large but it is absolutely beautiful panoramic views. We went during November and the beach felt nearly empty. We had 1 issue with the drain in our shower but it did not impact our stay. The staff recognized the issue and tried their best to resolve it. Our room was large and comfortable.
- Jan Willem (9/5): Heerlijk - Locatie Nvt
- Julian (8/5): Whilst it could do with a refresh it is still lovely hotel. - Great location and great staff.
- Olivier (8/5): Homey feeling - The vibe, it felt very homey , very relaxing We didn’t have much hot water and we were missing blackout curtains… didn’t prevent us to enjoy the place though
- Pip & Roger (9/5): Fabulous little place right on the beach at Playa Hermose - We really enjoy this boutique hotel right on the beach at Playa Hermosa …. it exceeded our expectations. We were welcomed by a lovely, young lady at check in and also a cold drink. Our room didn't have a view of the water but was very quiet as I requested as we had a long flight hone the next day. The room was a wonderful surprise … very spacious and beautifully appointed spotlessly clean and with a large bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. All the staff were pleasant, polite and helpful. Roberto's restaurant was great, and we enjoyed lunch and breakfast there. Overall we were thrilled with our choice and would definitely stay there again. Many thanks to all the staff. Nothing
- Sandro (9/5): Wir hatten einen sehr erholsamen Aufenthalt mit einer wunderschönen Aussicht und durften Affen und Leguane beobachten. - Die Aussicht und die Lage sowie das grosse Zimmer hat uns gut gefallen. Das Essen im Hotel hat Luft nach oben aber das ist Geschmacksache😉
- George (10/5): Epic vacation, look forward to coming back in future years. - Hotel restaurant was best on the beach, we ate there for most meals during 3 day stay, the staff was excellent. Hotel rooftop pool was one of a kind and beautiful view.
- Tariro (9/5): Superb - Great staff and food. A bit expensive

- Rzonca (10/5): A gem of a boutique hotel with great food and a superb staff - Boutique hotel/ great atmosphere/ elegant and clean/ restaurant in the hotel was excellent and staff were amazing Everything was amazing
- John (10/5): Amazing place in every way imagineable - The hotel is wonderful. It is a small, boutique hotel with rooms that are good sized and well-appointed. The staff quickly learns your name and how you like things (e.g., when housekeeping comes to the room, how much milk you want in your coffee). All of the employees are very personable and committed to the guests' enjoyment of their stay. The hotel is on a beach, literally, and the sunsets are magnificent. Lots of activities are available directly through the hotel -- we took a sunset cruise and experienced bioluminescence during a magical evening that started and ended right in front of the hotel. Food and service are excellent. By the way, the flan should not be missed!!! Just before our arrival, the area was hit by severe, unseasonal storms. This impacted all of our planned excursions for our visit. Fortunately, things improved dramatically just before we left. The incredibly good food and service, as well as the sunset cruise made the visit more memorable than we anticipated.
- Valerie (8/5): Quiet, boutique hotel with great staff and beach side restaurant. - The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was large and clean, liked private balcony. Rooftop pool was nice but small and there was no hottub. Although the location was right on the beach, there was not much to walk to. Also, because we went during the off season, neighbouring buildings were having construction done so there was noise.

- Powell (10/5): We haven’t stopped talking about our wonderful stay here and will be coming back! - The property is absolutely charming and very unique. It was also very clean! We loved that it was right on the sand!
- Roy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mary (10/5): Fabulous stay at La Gaviota - Great location - right on the beach and an easy walk to restaurants, etc. Our room was comfortable and clean, and had a balcony with view of ocean. Great restaurant - Roberto's - on the premises. Food and menu selections were very good for both breakfast and dinner. One of my favorite parts of this hotel was all the varied spaces where one could sit outdoors: at the restaurant right on the beach (or up under cover out of the sun); on the upper level where there was a small pool and a great view of the sunset over the water; and at least one area on each floor with a couple of chairs/ loveseat/ coffee table. Highly recommend! No complaints here. It was a very nice stay.
