Great stay at Dharma Beach hotel. Hotel was right on the very clean beach, with nice walks along the beach to the cliffs and south to other towns, lots of water activity options there and a short walk to the many restaurants and bars in town

Looks good outside, but not cosy inside at all. The breakfast was “included”, but we ended up paying for that. Was a lot of confusion about it. Problems with water running, with hot water. Wasn’t pleasurable experience at all. Staff wasn’t qualified to address all the issues.

Todo es increíble. Para mi es el mejor hotel de Montañita. Lo que más me gusta son las fiestas en lost. Lo único que no me parece es que en el precio no están incluidas las entradas a la fiesta para lost. Eso es lo único malo. Si las entradas estuvieran incluidas en el precio de la habitación fuera excelente!!!

Cunado llegamos pasado el mediodía no valía el ascensor y tuvimos que subir los 4 pisos por las escaleras. El olor en el baño era desagradable. No pudimos determinar si el hedor venía de afuera o era alguna tubería interior del baño la dañada. El desayuno correcto y el personal al ingreso y a la salida amables y eficientes. Una pena lo del baño ya que en general las instalaciones están en bueno estado y las habitaciones también.

While on our trip to visit family & friends--Tito recommended staying here! I'm so happy he did. The services are great and it's very apparent they're seeking to cater to global travelers vs. ONLY local guests. I'm writing this on my laptop where my pictures haven't been loaded yet or I'd share them. Suffice it to say I'm picky--EXTREMELY picky. Hotel Dharma did NOT disappoint. My favorite parts: 1) Proximity to beach 2) Cleanliness 3) A/C--many places do not have it 4) Beautiful domes 5) Cafe/restaurant--bread is DIVINE 6) English speaking employee's 7) MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE IS RONNY--he is the pure example of joy & love. He is so sweet & accommodating. If I could pack him up and take him with me I would. Such a happy soul & it comes through in his actions. THANK YOU Ronny! Off for my next adventure. You can not go wrong with Dharma!! *my key card kept getting deactivated so I had to go to counter every night but they were all very accommodating and nice.

Vernünftiges Mittelklassehotel, das unmittelbar an den Strand angrenzt. Soweit ganz ok. Service und Ausstattung aus unserer Sicht jedoch nicht dem Preis entsprechend. Die Rezeption war lustlos, es gab keine kostenfreien Aufenthaltsplätze in Strandnähe und das Frühstück war auch eingeschränkt. Für einen Kurzaufenthalt dennoch in Ordnung. Positiv: der Service im Restaurant war sehr nett und bemüht.
