Staff was absolutely great. Had a poolside room and an absolute blast celebrating New Year’s Eve. We hiked down the private beach several times. It’s beautiful and quiet. Playa Flamingo is only a 10 min walk as well. It’s a popular spot worth checking out. Definitely need to eat at Coco Loco.

I would give more stars but something you need to know: - The personals are very kind and the location it’s perfect with easy access to the beach - but the resort seems old and looks like doesn’t have enough budget to be maintained to the original looks - the amenities and rooms supplies should be upgraded/replaced

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).
