Hotel Tamacá Beach Resort
The hotel is the first resort that was built in the area. It is very nice but a bit dated. The walls are very thin, but the views and the staff balance it out. Overall the property is beautiful and in a great location. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Hotel Portobahia
Excellent service, very clean, and a great breakfast! However, the room was too cramped for six guests. The layout was also difficult, as the toilet and shower were in separate rooms, making it nearly impossible for a large group to get ready

Hotel Casa Mathilu
Great location at walking distances from the beach

My host Jay was incredible I can’t believe how welcoming I felt from the second I arrived . I will most definitely be doing back . I can’t finish my review without mentioning Arturo and Chris .
