Pros:

El servicio y el trato excelente! La verdad recomendado

Cons:

Lamentablemente me tocó ir en días de remodelación de las habitaciones y los trabajadores empezaron hacer mucho ruido por obvias razones desde las 6 am y lo que uno quiere es descansar y dormir más cuando sale de viaje...con que hubieran empezado como a las 9 a trabajar creo sería buena hora para empezar sus labores,pero entiendo que su trabajo se tiene que empezar temprano!

Cons:

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding our recent five-day stay at La Fonda. We were very excited to return, as we previously had a wonderful experience when Dmytri was hosting. Unfortunately, this visit was a very different experience. To begin, during the Sunday buffet, several food items were only lukewarm, and by the time we were ready to eat, the food was cold. This was quite disappointing and not what we expected based on our past visits.

While our room appeared to be newly renovated, the heating system did not work. With overnight temperatures below 50 degrees, the room was extremely cold. As a result, my husband became ill with a cold during our stay, which was very concerning. Additionally, there was significant construction taking place during our visit. The noise level was so high that we were forced to leave our room by 11:00 a.m. each day just to avoid the disruption. This greatly impacted our ability to relax and enjoy our stay.

Overall, our experience was not pleasant, and we were very disappointed, especially given our positive expectations based on prior visits. I wanted to bring these issues to your attention and hope they will be addressed for future guests.

Beautiful ocean views. Skip the restaurant.
Pros:

The balcony, sea view and falling asleep to the sound of the waves was worth every penny. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was quite charming albeit a bit old. Walking down to the beach was also a breeze. Very clean!

Cons:

The restaurant is overpriced for an average meal. Dinner for two was well over $100, and everything was underwhelming. Portions were huge, I would have happily given away half my food if it were cooked better. The beds were quite old and the sheets were scratchy.
