Very clean and friendly staffs. Nice and clean kitchen with all equipment you will need. The pool was clean and refreshing after the hot sunny beaches. Close to the Bahia Ballena National Beach Park, walking distance. My husband and I enjoyed so much!

I could not have been happier really. My gf and I stayed for 5 nights during Envision 2013. The rooms were clean and spacious. The kitchen and amenities were great to have, we stocked beer and some food in the fridge and made smoothies in the morning (we didn't take advantage of the stove though). The pool and bbq area...

Bungalows Ballena was great. Very clean - pool was nice - people were helpful - we enjoyed the kitchen, gazebo and having 2 bathrooms was nice for our family of six. Plus very convenient to the beach, restaurants and local grocery store.

We were a party of eight adults and two children (two and five years) who rented a bungalow and the apartment. Both were better than expected, bungalow with full kitchen and cozy veranda where we all got a place to dine. The hotel area was small but well planned with a playground and swimming pool with water slide which the... More

We stayed at the bungalows in May 2011. Our two boys (6 & 8yrs ) loved the pool, the slide and Adrian the owner. The bungalow was spacious, very clean and had lovely hand crafted locally made furnishings. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could need. We made delicious fresh mango smoothies every morning with the blender provided. We... More

We spent a nice two nights in a huge bungalow. There was a kitchen, living room, and two bedrooms. A lot more than we needed, but we took advantage of the well equipped kitchen and bought some groceries and cooked. The National Park (and beach) are a short walk away. The hotel was fairly empty, so most of the time... More
