Très bien pour de courte dirée
Pros:

1- l’élévateur, 2 - à côté d’une épicerie Commisariato, 3- la piscine et enfin pas très loin de la plage. Personel très accueillant et souriant.

Cons:

Il devrait y avoir plus de chaise sur les galeries extérieur pour profiter de l’aire.

Great stay, much exceeded my expectations. Great home base for a trip to Salinas.
Pros:

Hotel Arena Blanca was the cleanest hotel I've ever been in! The staff were almost constantly sweeping and mopping the white marble floors. Our room was spotless, and the whole place appeared newly renovated. The location was great (1 block behind the main street which is usually loud, but the distance made Hotel Arena Blanca pretty quiet), and the room was well appointed. Room had mini split A/C and flatscreen tv. Hotel had unheated pool on a balcony overlooking the street, and elevator. Always felt safe and welcomed, even as two women traveling alone. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Cons:

Only got 1 roll of toilet paper in the room, and no blankets for bed. A/C could easily make the room cold which wasn't great when there weren't bed blankets or linens besides the sheets already on the bed, so basically turned the A/C off.
