Hotel Vistalmar
The Hotel is okay, better than many others we have visited in this 3 weeks trip. But I would not call it great. The site makes you believe that it is a beach front Hotel. That is a total missreprasentation

Hotel Perla Spondylus
The staff was excellent. Room was very comfortable. Restaurant food was excellent. 2 blocks from the beach if you like to walk in the morning. Mall Pacifico very close if you ask the staff for the shortcut.
