Pros:

The area is developing. This hotel is beautiful and the staff very nice. Only things to consider.... No hot water, parking space limited and that the beach sand is from volcanic rocks and it's so hot you can't stand on it.

Pros:

Big traveler.. Never in my life have I seen guests and employees form such a high level of community, comfort, teamwork and thoughtfulness as I did during my stay at swell this past weekend. Some may disagree specifically to this weekend, but I couldn’t be more excited to come back and see what this beautiful property will be again. Appreciate everything you guys, keep hope 🌋🏄‍♂️🌴

Hôtel de petite taille, endroit paradisiaque pour
Pros:

Séjour de 2 nuits en suite donnant sur la piscine : chambre très spacieuse avec patio donnant directement sur la piscine, coin sofa et sdb ouverte sur le ciel. Clim ds la chambre. Matelas posé sur une assise en béton ciré, moyennement confortable. Ambiance très cool et relax.
Hôtel de petite taille tenu par un jeune coup’e franco canadien. Personnel au top. Restauration sur place avec carte courte mais de qualité, un peu p’us onéreuse que les restaurants alentours (qui ont ambiance surfeur et standing moindre)
Pas d’eau chaude, ce qui n’est pas très gênant vu le climat. Apportez votre sèche cheveux et anti moustiques !
Il serait souhaitable de rajouter des alèses sur les matelas

Great relaxing hotel in Paredón
Pros:

Hotel is very nice and the rooms with AC are great (take note of other comments about the loft rooms) - it was quiet and relaxing - great pool (will do the pool rooms next time).

Restaurant is geared mainly for breakfast and lunch rather than dinner. But plenty of places along the beach to try. Drinks and food are good a reasonably priced.


Only thing to note (and not sure it’s on Hotels.com - and wasn’t mentioned when checked in) is if you pay by card they will add an additional 7% to the bill.

Will definitely return :)
