Steve, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The ocean view is the best part of the hotel , pool condition is poor crumbling edge breakfast was good when it was to order , buffet rice with beans was cold and dry, eggs were cooked but wet, bread could not get toasted when asked , room did not made up daily , fridge kept freezing everything even after turning it down. Cushions on all chairs very stained and some missing. Only 1 blow dryer for the whole hotel. Would not recommend this hotel.

We only stayed one night at the Dunama, but would definitely return. The setting is absolutely breathtaking!! The staff was amazing, specially the bartender Dillon. Only complaint is the cleanliness. Certain areas need a good deep clean and new linens/towels.

Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Roads nearby were very usable even though it was the wet season. There is a very nice black sand beach a short walk from the hotel (though the stairs a bit treacherous).

What other reviews said is true. Pool has mold all over wall and corners. The hot tub is even worst. Room towels stained, spring box of the bed with blood stain. Shower did not work 3 drops of water, . It is true. Wifi work well for me during my stay.

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

6/10 Good

The room smelled a little damp. The bathroom was slimy. The pool was moldy. The breakfast was a very small portion, but it tasted good. My family and I were informed by the staff that it was only one drink per person and no refill… My room didn't have a hairdryer. The facilities were very nice with mageatic view. The hotel very well located, and had a very nice and private beach access. The grass could have been better maintained.
