Loved true private beach and drinking coffee looking out at the bay.
Andres, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall, the stay was great. The property is a bit dated but the open air reception area, bar and dining area with view of the bay is magnificent. Rooms are clean, bathrooms have been updated, nice shower. Large pool. Overall fine for the money. Would stay there again.
Mark, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property! Stunning views, very nice people and workers. Quiet place to relax which is exactly what I was looking for. I did notice that it could have been more clean… pool, terrace, fabric pool chairs. Other than that, not complaints!
Taylor, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is the most terrible hotel I’ve been in my life
Mostafa, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff were amazing definitely the best part, the hotel was lovely with a great view. However, when I booked it, it was advertised as hotel and casino with tours and massages. There was no casino, unable to get a tour through the hotel and never saw anything about massages while I was there.
Tina Marie, 13-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Low key, chill, friendly.

Hotel Dunama was perfect for me. Low key, not too crowded. The staff was above and beyond friendly and kind. The beds are comfortable. Good food, good drinks. There is a beautiful private beach. The pool is a good temperature and very calm. Gorgeous view of the water from the top of a hill. I’d stay there again.

2/10 Poor

The photos and reviews are deceiving. The property unfortunately is run down, the pool was dirty, the bed sheets were worn down and the rooms had a weird smell. The only good thing going for them was the staff who are extremely helpful.

Francisco Jose, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was helpful and friendly. We had poolside room which we enjoyed. There is a private beach that you can take a steep walk down to. The restaurant and bar have a wonderful ocean view. Overall great experience!
Kristen, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Swim up rooms were nice to have, we stayed in 505, right in the middle so we could see the ocean as well. Breakfast was prompt and nice to have, choice is limited as it’s not a buffet. Coffee doesn’t start until 7:30, none for the room. Property needs updating but views make up for it. People that work there were kind and prompt as well.

John, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

Photos on your site must me 25 years old. Facility and rooms need to be redone. Toilets and faucets had stains. Dead bugs on floor and squashed on walls. Dinning was great and the staff (Eric) was excellent and very helpful.

Room was dirty, musty, smelled like mold, old towel from last occupant left, room was full of mosquitos and lots were already killed and left stuck to the walls, floors were sandy and hasn’t been cleaned. No patio furniture. Drain in shower was disgusting. Bathroom smelled like raw sewer gas.
