Santo Niño hotel rooms a the Independent

"Great staff and experience "

"Marina Terrace (the restaurant) is beautiful for sunset and the couple running it, Kieran and Beth really make the place special. They are knowledgeable world travelers so we found kindred spirits. Kieran is an amazing chef who whipped up to die for risotto as good as we have had in Italy. They gave us great recommendations of where to go and what to do. This is an authentic local experience with few tourists. The town itself is very safe and close by there are some nice hikes and killer beaches nearby. We rented a scooter from them to get around and explore including riding it on Long Beach which was a ball. The rooms are basic with a comfy bed, hot water and decent AC. Rare for these parts is that the water is potable which is huge as you have no worries about getting sick. Highly recommended for travelers looking to hang out with the locals and enjoy a beer on empty beaches. We also rented a private boat and snorkeled some of finest reefs we’ve ever seen. Thank you Kieran, Beth and the rest of the crew for making this a standout among our many travel experiences."

"Place next to the white sand beach.area is quite and walkable for early morning walk.but far away from port barton and downtown."

"The staff were really helpful . Rooms clean, just a bit well used and dated. Beach area very clean. Rooms cleaned on request. Easy walk along the beach to main bars . Beautiful restaurant next door . Great sunsets. "

"We booked 3 rooms on separate bookings and on arrival there was no rooms available. Owner tried to put all 3 of us in the same room with no discount. While at the property I discussed refund with hotels.com but following enquiry no refund was given and I also had to find alternative accommodation "

"Great service, beautiful beach and surroundings. It just had everything you need for a beach trip and they organise you tours and shared transportations."

"Very friendly and helpful staff. Very nice place to stay. "

"I was sold accommodation that had been closed for some time and only got to know this when we turned up late at night after travelling for hours. The only positive was the owner fixed us up with somewhere else to stay "
