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).

Please do NOT stay at this place, does not look like the photos at all. Pillows were yellow, the first room was so dirty, they moved us to a different one that smelled like bleach but was in terrible conditions as well. 🚩 signs all over the property “no refunds” Also Expedia was not helpful at all.

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.

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.

The hotel needs cleaning. The pool needs deep cleaning, there is green algae in the pool. The garden room’s view it is the view of dry grass and dirt. The garden view rooms are four floors down and there is not elevator. There were dry leaves on the stairs and hallways. The beach is far from the hotel. There are many steps to climb.

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.

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.

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.
