Hotel Villas Mar y Arena

We stayed in the cabana on the beach and it was a lovely little cabin. A bit of a thatched roof and just beautiful views! You can hear your neighbors (and your sweetie in the bathroom) but a small price to pay for a paradise front row seat to gorgeous views. The people who run Villas Mar y Arena are really lovely, wonderful people! We got there a little late for whales, so Javier (our hero!) found out where they were and took us there twice, even though it was 1.5 hours away. The food is incredible. We had clams, bought directly from the farmers on the way to see the sea lions, birds, and sand dunes. What a geography! And everything was a delight, including the sand sea anemones who live in the sand when the tide is out. And Javier (again, our hero!) took us on the boat and taught us (and the other tour drivers) how to see the whales close up. We didn't get to touch a whale (apparently, they were busy mating), but next time! We can't wait to come back! Vanessa and Erik

Great place We had a lovely waterfront room with comfortable beds and a hot shower. The restaurant on site has great food and the service was very friendly and accommodating. We will be back!

Oceanfront retreat Wonderful stay in their cabañas! Checkin was super easy, the staff were very helpful at accommodating the extra blankets/pillows we needed for the kids. the beach out front was spectacular for collecting shells!
